Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1989-05-10, Page 9t:ad , by Jessica Vairbairn, Missisda litiohrtagand JaniceWebster Thursday, May 4, was Anniversary Day at Brookside, as students, teachers and guests celebrated20 years of being part of the 'Huron County Board of Education. During the day students learned about education in the past in their classes, and they grouped into "one -room schoolhouses" for part of the afternoon. At the end of the day, a live was planted in honour of the amiiversary, with the help of Marian Zinn, our trustee 20 years ago, and Tony McQuail, our Current trustee. The _entire student body sang a lovely tree song; found and taught to them by Mrs. Worsell and Mrs. Webster, accom- panied by Mrs. Scott playing the piano, Mr. Errington, one of Brookside's "ahunni", kindly shared his sound system. Marian Zinn and Tony McQuail both shared memories of the past and Mr. -Tremeer, Brookside principal, alsospoke. Danielle McClinchey spoke on behalf of Student Council and Daryl Gibson and Keith Todd assisted with the planting. The sun was shining, the skywas a dear blue, and the young voices in song were delightful. We were thrilled to have so many members of the community turn out for the afternoon, and to see so many Brookside Alumni I The afternoon closed -with:presentation of a special cake decefated with .a one room school house made by Marie "Webster, and a selection of over500 cup- cakes generously donated by Brookside mums, dads, and ex -teachers. 'What a great day,. The Brookside Broadcast Editors were busy too, visiting classes and taking -notes on the various amiiversary- activities. Grade 1 Miss Jewitt's grade 1 class learned to read .an old .fashioned story that Mrs _Blake learned to read -when she was little.

In her one -room schoolhouse the school learned how to play marbles. We hear Nathan Daer nearly got the STRAP in a pretend drama with Mrs. Scott! Mr. Culp's group sang "God Save The Queen," and did math from old texts - fun but hard! Mrs. Cober's group made a fine crest With streamers using the Brookside logo, and Miss Rennie taught games of long ago, including "hopscotch". Mr. Hailitt's schoolhouse made silhouet- tes of the students, while Mr. Spinal's group compared the schools of yesterday and today. Mr. Liddle's schoolhcLlse worked in groups to list differences we would find between then and now. We learned a lot on our Anniversary Day ! Mr. Woodall saved.the day for us on videotapes. We'll have to have a look at that tape in the year 2009!
