The country’s insect population
got a chance to be heard at Hullett
Public School last week. All pupils,
kindergarten through Grade 8 took
part in Goin’ Buggy, the spring
revue.
Keeping the story moving along,
the young people of Grades 7 and 8
- also assorted bugs - were narrators.
Between the various class segments,
they insisted bugs have feelings and
folks should give a bug a hug.
These pupils made up the chorus
for Gone Buggy as well.
Each of the other classes took on
the guise of a different bug. Through
six little numbers, the kindergarten
children sang stories of crawlers to
fliers - the transformation of
caterpillars to butterflies.
Song and dance numbers were
done by the honeybees of Grade 1
and a variety of bugs from Grade 6

who did The Buggy Wuggy.
Not a sound did the Grade 3s utter.
As three long centipedes they moved
about the stage doing The Alley Cat
Dance. In today’s music scene, a rap
number is a must and the spiders of
Grade 4 presented Arachnid Rap.
Fireflies flitted around the
darkened stage at one point, Grade
5s with flashlights. Ladybugs from
Grade 2 reprimanded the audience in
the action song That’s No Way To
Treat a Ladybug.
Following the reading of the Bugs
Bill of Rights, all the bugs marched
off the stage, headed to Ottawa for
the Great Bug-Off Rally, determined
to have their rights upheld.
The spirited piano solo that
opened the concert and the myriad
bugs hanging on the walls and from
the ceiling, definitely created a
fuzzy, ticklish, buggy atmosphere.
Spirit and prophesy. John 15: 26, 27

Reporting for Radio Station
CUCC, Rev. Ross interviewed Lydia

Saturday, June 3 Don and
Catharine Allen and daughters
moved from their home in the village
on to the farm formerly owned by
John Benjamins.
Villagers will miss seeing them on
a regular basis on their walks with
bikes and wagons. However,
undoubtedly the young family will
continue to be an integral part of our
community.
Construction got off to an early
start in Londesboro this year.
Villagers on the east side of Hwy. 4
will be able to open their windows to
the summer air and not have to
worry so much about letting in road
dust.
Lavis Construction has finished
paving the streets and also some
driveways. The new pavement is
making easier rolling for wheels of
all sizes.
The reconstruction of the bridge at
the south edge of the village is also
well underway - traffic lights in
Londesboro!
