At the Branch FROM BRUSSELS Girl gets academic honour Brooklyn Wheeler, daughter of Gerry and Brenda Wheeler, Brussels, has earned a Silver A, The Culver Academies' second-highest academic honour, reserved for those students earning a minimum semester grade point average of 3.2. Wheeler is a junior and three-year student at The Academies (www.culver.org). This was her fourth Silver A. She is also the goalie on the girls varsity hockey team. The Culver Academies are boarding and day schools offering a nine-month college preparatory curriculum for Grades nine through 12. Culver Military Academy, founded in 1894, is organized around a distinctive military system of student leadership while Culver Girls Academy, founded in 1971, is modelled on a perfect system. Through leadership opportunities within these systems, students develop confidence in their abilities to complete difficult and challenging tasks, as well as habits of inquiry and self-discipline. The Academics, with an annual enrollment of more than 700 students representing 35 states and 26 countries, and Culver Summer Camps, with an enrollment of 1,350 students, operate on the same 1,800- mere campus on the north shore of Lake Maxinkuckee. WUCC meets Brussels Evening Unit of Women of the United Church of Canada (WUCC) met at the home of Joan Golden. A hymn was sung with Betty Campbell as pianist. Mrs. Golden read a story from the Daily Bread book. Guest speaker was Gloria Workman from the Wraparound group which develops and carries out plans for children, individuals and their families. By Jo-Ann McDonald Saturday was busy around the Legion Branch. The afternoon euchre had a great turnout with 15 tables at play. The lucky pair of Mary Huether and Helen Dobson were the first- prize winners with 78 points. Coming in second with 74 points were Tom and Eileen Sloan. The third place winners were Eileen Sellers and Marie Stewart with 71 points. Lucky lone hand winners were Ed Stewart and Sally Scott. The fish fry was also well attended. Over 150 people were well satisfied with the meal. Comrade Glenn Bridge and wife Jean have returned form Florida and we put him right back to work by Well darn the March break is over for another year. Hopefully it was a time of renewal and refreshment for all those who needed, and got it. Depending on the weather of course, activities varied from road hockey to biking, then on to 'vegging' days with movies and books. Trip to the city or the swimming pools in the region and visits to, at or from friends and grandparents were also an enjoyable time for many on the break. Wearing of the green is one of those things that just happens and Irish heritage is not required. The folks at the United Church enjoyed each others' company while they digested green soup and selective green sandwiches and since they just came from worship .they didn't question — they are such nice people. Valerie Watson of unknovin age (ha, we do know it was written on the poster her children made for the occasion) was the reason for cake and candles for dessert. Lots of green garments were in sight as we sang the sending him to District Convention in Kincardine on Sunday. Welcome home. • • Sunday was also singles dance night with over 100 coming out to enjoy the music of the Country Vei-satiles. The next singles dance is not until April 14 as we are taking" Easter weekend off. Our deepest sympathy to Comrade Ken Miller and his family on the passing of his wife Joan. The funeral was held Monday with the luncheon being held at the Branch. Congratulations to Sarah Little for winning the Provincial youth darts. She-' will go to Edmonton to compete May 16-20 for the Dominion competition. Congratulations. appropriate song. She can still blush. I hope you've sent in suggestions for life after the island. It's been such fun seeing what life would be like in a commune with that crew. I think much like vacation with the relatives — good but with a definite go home date. Thanks all you Islanders — it was fun reading. Perhaps we could now do an exile to Cranbrook — you know — suggest folk who should go there to live. It could/would keep the regular natives in line. Speaking of lines — call Kathy Workman on Friday and sing to her. She's getting really old. Check your place of worship or any local church to be part of Holy Week. Easter is the reason for Christianity. The Bethlehem baby was just a regular person until Easter morning and so we celebrate the mystery of life. Come and worship. A view of tundra swans feeding and resting last week was a rare treat. The force of nature is awesome. Well over a hundred birds were feeding in a field in Morris -- a brief stop on their way to — ah the tundra. It reminded me of Ella Graber and Ida Evans when they used to make their many spring tours in search of the magnificent birds. Hockey is still happening as the skills of our young people (PeeWees) are required for the next two - weekends in determining the new Ontario champions. Good Work team! Bye now, Betty G. W. ) The general meeting is March 25 and we urge more members to attend. Our elections are held in April for our new officers to start their term June I. Again we ask for new blood to step • forward and take an interest in the Branch. There are a variety of committees which •can all use more people. Choose something that is of interest to you. • Think about it and call Comrade Glenn or the Branch for more information. /02020210216.12ffilIMIMMEMOKAMILMI.
