Sincere thanks to Pizza Delight, the Lucknow Legion, the volunteer fire department and the many com- munity helpers and teachers who provided these excellent learning opportunities. We arc always looking for new leaders and topics. .Please call the school to get in- volved and share your talents. Swap Shop On Nov. 24, the Lucknow World Watchers organized the second annual Swap Shop. The students were allowed to bring in three items. All of the items were ranked 1,2 or 3. If your item was ranked a 1, you would choose an item from the 1 table. Everyone enjoyed this free shopping spree. The World Watchers are proud to say that it was a huge success! Musical Performances The Lucknow Central Public School Band performed for two Christmas parades. In Wingham, the students were actually part of the parade. Here in Lucknow the group entertained for an hour before the parade began. The students and their leader Mrs. C. deBoer received many appreciative compliments. The choir has been very active during the Christmas season. The first outing took place on Dec. 8 with the choir singing two numbers at the Carolfest. On Tuesday, Dec. 14, the 50 singers travelled to Wingham and entertained Senior Citizens. Their final performance takes place on Dec. 16 when they sing for the residents at the. Pinecrest Nursing Home. Ms. Scott and Mrs. Black would like to thank the choir members for their dedication. The Christmas concert was a great success. The gym was full as many families enjoyed listening to the primary, junior students, band and choir. Thank you for your support of the non-perishable food donation to the Wingham Salvation Army for the local Christmas food bank. The STAR tree was overflowing with your generosity. At .the Christmas Concert the World Watchers sold baking and Christmas boxes made out of old Christmas cards. The World Watchers wish everyone a Merry Christmas and an "Environmentally Friendly New Year". Final Day Events The final day of classes is a busy one at LCPS.

Ann Cassel (right) of R.R. 4, Ripley, Is taking part in the Co- operative Education program with a placement at the Ripley - Huron Veterinary Clinic. She is pictured here with Margaret Vandervaart in the x-ray room. (photo submitted) Co-op student enjoys her placement at vet clinic by Ann Cassel The co-operative education program is an increasingly popular one in high schools today. It gives students an opportunity to explore a career field and get hands-on ex- perience in that career. This allows students to be better prepared for the type of job they are planning to pursue. It also gives the student an opportunity to decide if they do enjoy that type of work and if they still wish to pursue that dream career. I'm Ann Cassel, a Grade 13 student at Sacred Heart High School in Walkerton. 1 am involved in the co-operative education program and I am placed at the Ripley -Huron Veterinary Clinic, I go to the veterinary clinic four days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I am able to go out on call and help out with vaccinating cattle, dehorning calves, as well as giving animals medication through an I.V. hose. In the veterinary clinic I help prepare for surgeries, fill out vac- cination certificates as well as doing other clerical work. In this type of career you must have a strong stomach and learn not to get emotionally attached to the animal you are treating. Through being at the veterinary clinic 1 have met a lot of people and I have gained an excellent insight into the type of work veterinarians and animal health technicians do on a regular basis. I would like to thank my co- workers Tim Blatt, Ken Bridge, Alec Martin, Carol Husk, Lynn Moore, and Marg Vandervaart for giving me the opportunity to have such an excellent co-op experience. I would recommend all high school students participate in the co-operative education program. It gives you an excellent opportunity to explore the career of your choice and it helps you decide if it is the career for you. Board of education trustee recognized for sponsorship Trustee David Inglis was recog- nized by the Bruce Board of Education for his sponsorship of the Co-op Education Agriculture program. - "It's probably one of the most outstanding programs I've ever viewed," said Paul Martindale, Director of Education.'" He said the co-op agriculture program has turned around atten- dance records and jobgoals for its student participants. Martindale also gave credit to other co-op ed sponsors in the community. "They make co-op ed just about one of the best things we, have going on in the county," he said. Trustees want the Royal Commis- sion on Education to—knaw about"_ some of the 'success stories' like co-op ed. The commission has asked boards to send - in stories about innovative teaching methods or programs that, it can include in its report and deliberations. Chair Don Tedford said the com- mission is "listening to a lot of negativity" and asked trustees for help putting together a submission. "We have some real success stories in Bruce County and we should communicate that," he said. While the board wants recognition of some of its better programs, it is also on the look -out for any extra funding it can get. It supported a resolution from the Lincoln separate board asking for funding to cover the cost of meetings and travel expenses needed to negotiate and implement the social contract, and it has applied for a $60,000 grant to. fund a guidance curriculum that will help students make the tran- sition ftom school to the job place. Chair David Inglis said 65 per cent of the county's students go on to work rather' than higher education, and they need skills to make that move successful. Inglis was singled out .by the chair for praise in finding about possible funding for the project. "I knew if there was money you'd find it," said Tedford to Inglis.
