PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1995.
Now that Walton School is in full
swing, I wanted to know how
things went for the teachers on the
first week. For Principal Helen
Crocker it was great to be back on
track. She was still smiling at the
end of the week so that was a good
sign.
Director of Education Paul
Carroll happened to drop in at the
time of my news gathering and he
said that it had been a great week
with everything running smoothly.
He was still smiling also.
Mrs. Bennett, who is the Grade 1
teacher, remarked how interesting
it is getting to know the
personalities of the children. They
spent the week getting to know
each other, learning that each child
is an individual with special talents
and gifts and that they need to
respect each other's differences.
Mrs. Vandendool, who teaches
French, introduced the French
speaking puppet, Dimoitou. He's
fuzzy and green.
Mrs. Vivian, who teaches Grade
2, said that it was a busy week.
They did, 'all about me' exercises
and had a great time getting
acquainted. She said that she is
settling in quite well.
Mrs. Scott said that it was a little
difficult getting back into the old
routine but she had a great week.
The kids have been eager to learn
and they have been busy making
maps and marking on them where
they went this past summer on
holidays. What really surprised her
this week was that some of her
Grade 3s asked for homework.
Mrs. Vandendool's Grade 4s
worked hard this week getting
reacquainted with friends and
routines.
The school welcomed five new
students — Joshua Baker, Grade 1;
Mark Elliot, Kyle Clarke, Grade 2;
Whitney Kramers, Blake Griffiths,
Grade 3.

After a busy summer of catering
to wedding suppers and Blyth
Theatre suppers the UCW met on
Wednesday, Sept. 6. Viola Kirkby
and Marjory Fraser led the group
of women in worship.
Marjory read an article called,
'Listen to the Lord's Prayer'. It
suggested that people are so over
exposed to the prayer that they say
it without giving it any real
thought. That's why Arthur Boers,
minister of Bloomingdale
Mennonite Church wrote a book
about the prayer called, 'Lordieach
us to Pray.' In his book he pointed
Viola Traviss and Dorothy
Sholdice were greeters at Duff's
United Church on Sept. 10.
Rev. Randy Banks opened the
service with the call to worship,
which was followed by the singing
of hymn All People on Earth Do
Dwell.
Rev. Banks pointed out to the
congregation the insert 'Glimpses'
which told about St. Jerome, a 4th
century scholar and Bible
translator. He then proceeded to

out some interesting history about
the prayer.
Helen Craig was in charge of the
program and she challenged the
group with her delivery on positive
attitudes. She had the ladies break
into three groups and discuss these
questions:
What opportunity has UCW
given me?
What has the UCW done for the
community?
What have we done this year?
When all three questions were
discussed the group realized how
important the UCW was to them,
their community and their church.
