Since not too many of the kids will be reading this and since I was one of the parents playing I can say that the kids never stood a chance. At least that was what I was thinking when we started. But all hope of win- ning quickly left when I saw Paul McCallum hit the ball clear to the fence and Brian Dolmage calmly lifted his glove and caught it. That. wasn't bad enough though, for one of our other big hit- ters, Blaine McCutcheon, whacked what should have •been a homer, only to be caught by fielder Chris McNichol. The fun ended with everyone enjoying hot-. dogs and pop. Thanks to the coaches, JoAnn McDonald, Dave Linton and Fred McClure. Bill and Marie Coutts were greeters at Duff's United Church on Sept. 15. The school was a busy ,place Thursday night where ribbon cutting took place in the new gym and Greg Bowers slid down the slide and through the ribbon on the new playground equipment, Hot dogs cooked by Jim Crocker, were enjoyed by all and parents were busy meet- ing the teachers. Barb Durrell and Steve Bowers thanked everyone who helped in any way in helping put up the playground equipment and for those that have helped raise money. The committee has two years to pay for the equipment and anyone want- ing to make donations can contact Mrs. Crocker, the school principal. The school is also grateful to Chris and Judy Lee who are supporting the school's cross country runners by donating 10 t -shirts. The shirts will carry the school's Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 logo which was designed by Mrs. Bennett and Nicki VanderVeen this past spring. Brian Love will make the t - shirts up. The Early Years children had fun this past week by doing self portraits. They each had to look in a mirror and draw what they saw and some very interesting pic- tures were the results of this exercise of self discovery. The children continued to learn some nursery rhymes and they enjoyed building on the construction table. Chris Regele and Donnie Williamson had a fun week in Grade 2 collecting grasshoppers and the odd cricket. They showed me a jar full of the critters. Maybe it went along with their counting games they have been doing in school this past week. And if you were in the school last week you could have seen their bodies (paper outline) on the walls. The Grade 4s are doing lit- erature on amazing animals. For instance, the humming- bird visits over 1,000 flowers in a day. Why does the chee- tah have spots? The kangaroo is amazing because of it's pouch, etc. The class also did some oral poem presenta- tions. Each person had to memorize a poem and then recite it to the class and then they had to present the poem in some sort of creative way, such as using puppets, or pic- tures or actions.
