Four bid farewell to Brussels PS
MARGERYHUETHER
Leaving Brussels Public
after 16 years
This year Brussels Public School
is going to be losing some very
familiar faces.
Mrs. Idella Wilson and Mrs.
Margery Huether are choosing this
year to begin their retirement,
while Miss Kim Blake and Mrs.
Brussels
Margriet Masson are transferring
to other schools.
Mrs. Wilson began teaching in
Brussels 25 years ago. She remem
bers Ken Ashton was principal
when she started in 1964. What is
really interesting about that is that
Mr. Ashton was also her teacher
when she was in Grade 8.
Mrs. Wilson explains that in
those days, most students all went
through to Grade 13 because there
“was nothing else to do’’. But, she
said, after the war things changed
very quickly.
It wasn’t until 1963 that she
attended Stratford Teacher’s Col
lege. Until that time she worked in
her mother’s hat store in Brussels.
Mrs. Wilson began teaching after
she had completed 10 Department
of Education courses. These were
offered at that time, she says, to
improve teaching techniques and
provide information on various
subject areas.
Her plans for the future are not
set. “I have no immediate plans on
retirement. I am looking forward to
having the time just to relax and be
free to come and go when the
occasion arises,’’ she explains.
Margery Huether has been at
Brussels Public for 16 years. Since
KIM BLAKE
Fond memories of Brussels
that time there have been several
amusing incidents that she can
remember.
“Once when I was picking up a
pupil from the late Margaret
Tyreman’s class, we both laughed
until we were in tears. The young
ster came and put his arm around
me, then looked into my eyes and
remarked that he thought I was
losing weight.”
Another time she remembers her

Harold and Ada Thornton of
Kitchener spent this past Sunday
with Lawrence and Mildred Jacklin
of John Street in Brussels. They
also visited with their daughter and
son-in-law, Bruce and Brenda Wil
liams of Belgrave.
Mary Baeker is presently in
Wingham & District Hospital
where she is recovering from a
broken leg.
It would seem that some people
in Brussels don’t have enough to
keep them busy. Sometime be
tween the hours of 2:00 a.m. and
6:00 a.m. Monday, they decided to
paint the town, or more precisely
the arena.
Vandals spray-painted the north
and east wall of the arena in
addition to six parking signs and
two curve signs located nearby.
Obsenities were painted on the
parking lot.
Wingham OPP Staff Sgt. John
McKee said that at this time they
have no leads but the investigation
is continuing.
Perhaps when the perpetrators
are caught, someone can find
something beneficial for them to
do.
