THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1995. Parents were invited Friday to attend a Grade 4 appreciation assembly and for the presentation of the Shirley Lyon award. After welcoming everyone Mrs. Vandendool called Linda DeWit and Rita Bowers to come forward. Mrs. Bennett thanked Rita for her tremendous help throughout the year in her class and thanked Linda who did so much for Mrs.Nivian in the kindergarten class before her maternity leave. They were both presented with flowers. Mrs. Bennett then asked Miss Bogie (her teacher's aide) to the front and presented her with a farewell gift. She said that it had been such a pleasure working with Miss Bogie. Mrs. Vandendool then asked Miss Jewitt to come forward and said that she didn't know how, she will get along without Miss Jewitt's computer knowledge and how much the school will miss her. Miss Jewitt said how wonderful it had been to work at WPS and that she loved the kids to death'. Then Mrs. Scott called Mrs. Howe-Lobb and though she tried she couldn't keep the tears from falling as she said how much she appreciated working beside Mrs. Howe-Lobb. Mrs. Scott told how in the book Ann of Green Gables, Ann had talked about kindred spirits and that is what her and Mrs. Lobb had become. Mrs. Howe- Lobb said that she loved her time working at the school and with such wonderful kids and staff. All three teachers were wished the best of luck. Then Mr. Tremeer (who is retiring this year) was called into the room and was seated in the rocking chair. Mrs. Bennett carrying a bag full of goodies said that she had it from a very reliable source that Mr. Tremeer loved to do gardening. Being worried that his head and the top of his ears might get sunburned she pulled out a straw hat, pointing out to him that it had a three-inch brim. And to protect his eyes from the UVB rays she presented him with some very dark shades. rne children were getting quite a laugh as he modelled each item. Finally with concern that there will Sae such a dramatic change for his than& (from pen to hoe) she gave Irma pair of work gloves. They all wished him the best and happy gardening. Don stood up and thanked everyone and said that this group of kids will come in handy helping him pick stones in his garden. He welcomed everyone to drop in and see him sometime. He went on to say that there had been quite a change in this school since coming here six years ago. The library used to be in the hall and the new two new additions weren't there. He was pleased that the staff and students and community find a lot to be proud of in their school. He wished the best to the Grade 4s as they go to Seaforth in the fall and then wished everyone a great summer. The Grade 4s stood up and sang, Grandpa's Whiskers and then "A Grade 4 leaving song" sung to the tune of We'll sing in the Sunshine. While the Grade 4 class were at the front Mrs. Vandendool and Mrs. Crocker handed out certificates to each child that pointed out that they were a valuable member of the 'Super Brenda Boyer and Marj Struthers hosted 12 tables of euchre Monday evening at Ethel Hall. Winners were: 50/50, Marion Behms; tally cards, Ken Crawford, Jean and Harold McNaughton, Hilda Holmes, Bob Bateman, Mar- jorie McCourt; most lone hands, Helen Dobson, Marguerite Beirnes, helper Team'. Mrs. Crocker said that things at the school could not have run as well as they did without the help of the Grade 4s. Murray Lyon came forward to present the 'Shirley Lyon Award'. He said that Mrs. Lyon wanted proficiency in reading and he wanted to establish an award that would meet that criteria. It wasn't until a child from the school said to him "Mrs. Lyon taught me my sounds" that he got the idea that the award would go to the child with outstanding skills in reading. Having said that, Geoffrey Banks and Kendra Bennewies were called up and both were presented with books - Letter to the Wind and The Great Canadian Children's Treasury. Mr. Lyon thanked Mrs. Crocker and the school board for administrating what he had set up. Then the Grade 4s went back to their room for a treat. Charlene McClure had made them a very special cake and kids and parents alike enjoyed it. Jim Smith; high lady, Becky Rup- ple; high man, Harold Metcalfe. The next euchre will be July 3. The annual Smith family picnic was held at the home of Fred and Teuni Smith, Cranbrook. There were approximately 60 people in attendance. Lavern and Marion Godkin greeted worshippers at Duff's United Church June 25. Rev. Randy Banks welcomed everyone and announced that there will be Vacation Bible School from July 10 to 14. It will start at 9:30 a.m. and end at noon. After singing the children's hymn Patty Banks called children and Sunday School teachers forward. She thanked the teachers for giving of their time this past year to teach. On June 18 the Walton Hall was alive with toe-tapping, old time fiddling music. Approximately 80 people came out to share the day with Mrs. Aldeen Machan of Monkton and helped celebrate her birthday. The fiddlers were Lloyd Warwick from Bluevale and Lawrence Edgar of Listowel. Lawrence's wife Annie tickled the ivories as did Mrs. Sid Adams of Wingham. Bill Hamilton played guitar. The party was put on by Aldeen's family and she enjoyed seeing friends and relatives that she hand's seen in quite a while. A community shower was held at Duffs United Church, June 20 for Heather McGavin. Edith Wey welcomed everyone and then invited Tracy Bosman to the front to sing, Can You Feel the She then told about a few of her experiences as teacher of the teens. Then she asked each teacher to hand out the certificates to the kids in their classes. Jo-Ann McDonald, secretary- treasurer handed out the attendance certificates and seals. Rev. Banks thanked the teachers and the children for being so faithful in their attendance. His sermon was called, "An Exercise in Exorcising." Love Tonight. Following the song Anne Ryan did a reading called 'This is a Husband'. Gail Moffett and Mildred Travis sang two songs for Heather May You Always and Love Me Tender with Margery Huether, accompany- ing them on the piano. Helen Craig had the people play a 'name bingo' game. Kim Fritz came in first and her mother Barb Fritz got second prize. From out of the choir room came a very odd newlywed couple singing a very different version of Side by Side.
