FROV LONDESBORO By Charlotte Worsell Grade 8 Graduate Classroom organization at Hullett school has been anticipated for September 2001 with regard to Ministry of Education pupil/teacher ratio guidelines. The education assistant complement for next year has been cut to a half-time position and two of Hullett's full-time teachers are eaving. Mrs. Angela Rae is one of the teachers leaving Hullett Central Public School this year. Out of her 11 years of teaching experience, she has taught at Hullett for seven of them. At Hullett she taught French and this past year she also taught Grade 5/6 half-time. Mrs. Rae attended Wilfrid Laurier University then taught at East Wawanosh Public School. Mrs. Rae chose to teach French because she liked the language. She is now moving to Stratford and will be teaching at Mitchell Public School which will be a shorter drive for her. There she will oe teaching French half-time and possibly social studies or phys. ed for the other half. We wish her the best of luck at her new school. By Lauren Snell Grade 8 Graduate Ann Uhler has been teaching us for two years. Before coming to Hullett in the spring of 2000, she taught at Wallace Public School half-time. Ms Uhler got her teaching degree from the University of Western Ontario. When asked what she would be if she weren't a teacher, she replied that she never considered being anything else. Ms Uhler is leaving our school because she is being married over the summer and will be living in Kitchener. It will be a shorter drive for her to her new school, Milverton Public School. There she will be teaching history and geography on rotary. Ms Uhler taught our Grade 8 class because she says, she enjoys kids our age. She was a great teacher and we'll all miss her very much. Two of our older buildings are currently undergoing facelifts. Neighbours on the hill near the tinned Church are getting used to the beep, beep, beep of a skyjack. Clinton Glass and Mirror have been working for two weeks now installing aluminum soffit and fascia. The work will certainly improve the look of the building and should keep all those winged pests on the outside. Workmen will also be checking into the condition of the bell tower. The gallery may again be useable if the leak can be found and fixed. You may have spotted the scaffolding up the west side of the Community Hall as well. Seems that bell tower has also been leaking down into the upper hall. Apparently the squirrels have been feasting on the wood. The Lions Club, under the direction of Sam Dougherty, are rebuilding and re-shingling the structure, and repairing the weathervane. Summer activities of the volunteers have been prevented a quick completion of the project. If you stroll out some warm summer evening to check on these repairs, stroll a little farther and check out the newest garden area at the school. Last year $250 was received from the Ideal Supply Playground Environment Fund and Hullett school now has a butterfly garden along the south fence by the stream. Teacher Joan Vandendool with the help of husband, Bert, and her enthusiastic Grade 2/3 class, undertook the creation of this new learning area. Richard Bain conducted the worship service at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, July 8. He will also be the guest preacher on Sunday, July 15. Anyone still wishing to be a part of the UCW outing to Stratford on Tuesday, July 17 for either the quilt show or bus tour, please call Barb Bosman or Joan Whyte. Hullett Happenings Teachers move on Service draws on memories Youth camp in cabins FROM AUBURN A Memorial Service was held at Ball's Cemetery with a full church and a full choir on a blustery cold July 1. The minister for the service was Rev. Ted Nelson. The music and choir were in the capable hands of Margaret Kai. During the service the choir favoured with Higher Ground and No Night There. • Throughout the service Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah, In the Sweet By and By and He Leadeth Me were sung by the choir and congregation. Meditation by Rev. Nelson was on Plow on John. Offering was received and dedicated followed by a moment of remembrance and prayers of the people. James Craig led the congregation out playing music with his bagpipes. The board of trustees, minister and organist, are to be thanked for their work, Everyone regrets the sudden death of the chairman Elliott Lapp (died June 10). He will be sadly missed throughout the area. Congregation for the service was comprised of not just local people. Friends attended from Alberta, Wisconsin, Chatham, Kitchener and Kincardine. This is deeply appreciated. There was also a liberal offering given, This helps-in the upkeep of the cemetery so it certainly will be put to use. Thanks goes to the board in charge of this upkeep. Daryl Ball is the superintendent and Vera Penfound the capable secretary- treasurer. . This is camping time and a number of children are enjoying stay at various camps. Tony Bean was at Camp Menesetung last week and is off with Bradley Lapp to Camp Shalom near Cambridge this week. Jeff and Jamie Plaetzer are at Camp Menesetung this week. It is a wonderful experience for the kids. Of course, there will benumerous others in the area attending too. Keith and Helen Lapp took Tony and .Bradley to Cambridge on Sunday. On Friday, June 15, 17 members of the Auburn/Londesboro United Church youth group began a weekend campout on the shores of Lake Huron. The group stayed in cabins on the grounds of the Bluewater Correction Facility just south of Goderich. Along to do the cooking were Don and Joan Goodall, Carmen and Mary Ann Drost and Cheryl Wheeler. Although the weather prevented having a campfire, the young folk were determined to stay awake all Friday night. Consequ'ently the group gathered in the mess hall to play board games, and card games and TALK. During the day on Saturday the young people went swimming, walked on the beach, played volleyball and - rolled tires down the hills. There were also craft activities — barnboard painting, braiding, etc. Saturday night everyone enjoyed the camaraderie and discussion that results from the warmth of a campfire. Following the arrival of their parents on Sunday morning the group conducted the worship service they had planned during their time together. The cooks reported that the young folk did a great job of cleaning up after meals, of keeping them entertained and of helping Joan Goodall celebrate her birthday.
