AT JACKSON'S FARM by Jody Button, Steven Van Amersfoort and Ronald Higgins The grade one class of B.P.S. went to Jackson's farm on March 3. They saw a llama, geese, deer and the tracks that they left in the snow. They fed them com and wheal. The llama followed Graham Jack- son around all over the place trying to get some com and wheat. One of the deer had a sore leg so he was limping around. The deer were a variety of colours. Some were spot­ ted and some were dark brown and some were white. Their antlers were not yet grown but they will grow over time. The grade ones will be checking up on them later. K.W. SYMPHONY by Joanne Josling and Leanne Bell The class started by getting up bright and early Wednesday morn­ ing to be at B.P.S. by 8 a.m. The bus was ready to go by 8:15. It was a long drive of one and a half hours. Many kids brought many games to play on the way there. Upon arriving at The Centre In The Square it was not yet open so they waited. Then the students were let in. They went up two flights of stairs to the balcony above the main floor. It was a terrific view. They watched many instruments but one of the percussion instruments was very weird. It was a kitchen sink. A lady called Beverley Johnston introduced the percussion family. She played many of them and had friends play some. After an hour it was over, then it was on to McDon­ ald's or Pizza Hut for lunch. The bus arrived back at B.P.S. by about 2:15 or 2:20. It was a long day.

PUBLIC SPEAKING by Zoey Onn “So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in.” It all started at the Clinton Legion. First I had to register. Then I sat down for the long wait. First was storytelling - there were three speakers. Then came my division: the intermediate division. I was num­ ber 11 out of 13 speakers. Next was the seniors. There were two speakers in each division - the grade 9 and 10's and the grade 11, 12 and 13's. I had to wait for the whole thing to end, which was about three or four hours long. Finally I found out the results - I had won first place out of 13 peo­ ple and now I compete at Port Elgin on March 29. It was so excit­ ing!
