THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1993. On Feb.18, Hullett students were involved in several activities which reminded them of their heritage. During the morning, the students circulated among three different activities that had an "olden days" flavour. They had a session with old fashioned toys and games and found out what going to a one room school might have been like. They also got a chance to try some quilting techniques and handcrafts that boys and girls long ago would have done, such as woodworking and spooling. As a result of these activities, the school library now boasts five new reading pillows, and we have two small quilts besides, to put over anyone who is not feeling well. The school staff was ably assisted by many senior members of the community. Helping that day were quitters: Mrs. Helen Lee, Mrs. Hazel Reid, Mrs. Marg Anderson, Mrs. Helen Lawson, Mrs. Margaret Taylor, Mrs. Josephine MacGregor, Mrs. Beth Knox, Mrs. Elma Jewitt, Mrs. Ella Flood, Miss Edith Beacom and Mrs. Laura Lyon, residents or former residents of the Londesboro area, and Mrs. Empey, Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. Arthur and Mrs. Haggitt from Auburn. Mr. Clare Vincent, Mr. Lorne Hunking of Londesboro, and Mrs. Stryker from Auburn showed the students some wood working skills. The day was made even more authentic due to the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Battye, of Clinton, who generously loaned many antique articles.. During the afternoon, many grandparents, friends or parents visited the classrooms to share some of their memories of school days in the past. An assembly at which the school band entertained, along with the junior choir, followed the class visits. At this time, Mr. Paul Carroll, Superintendent of Operations of the Board of Education presented an original deed from U.S.S. No. 9 school, one of the 12 original schools which joined together to make the Hullett Central of today. The framed deed now hangs in the lobby of the school. A very educational and enjoyable day ended with refreshments.

A parachute has been at the school for a few weeks and the kindergarten class is making good use of it. Parachute games promote body and placement awareness along with being lots of fun.

Out of 18 teams, team 17 was the top team with with 32 points. This hard working team consisted of Dwayne Martin, Justin Howatt, Amanda Kennedy, Derek Campbell, Lisa Goll, Harmony Spivey, Kristen Gerth, Craig Marks, Michelle Nixon, and Carl Procter.

All worked hard and teams were very evenly matched. Even the bottom team was only 18 points behind the top team. The hot chocolate tasted a little better to the last few teams who had been out much longer in the cold and were looking for something to warm them up.
