MEMBERS SINCE 1928 - Women's Institutes across the province celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the organization this past week; From left: Dorothy Townsend, Eva
McCartney and Thelma Dale have been members of the Seaforth Women's Institute since
it was founded in 1928. Thelma Dale is the only active charter member.
W.I. reflects on 100th anniversary
Seaforth Women's Institute
held its Feb. 19 meeting at
Northside United Church.
The meeting opened with
the singing of the WI
Centennial song.
Doris Hugill welcomed
everyone and the opening
ode and the Mary Stewart
collect were repeated. Roll
call was answered by 14
members and nine guests.
Minutes of the first meeting
of the Institute held in 1897
at Stoney Creek and the
Seaforth Women's Institute
first meeting minutes
(Christmas 1929) were read.
The Women's Institute has
had 100 years with many
changes. They put the bread
wrappers on the bread, paint-
ed lines on the highways, the
flashing lights on the school
buses. Remember all those
knitted squares which we
have sent' to Zambia and the
Women's
Institute
money raised to buy pigs and
goats in Uganda. We. also
support the children who
were orphaned because of
Aids.
Most of our members have
no idea of the influence that
the Women's Institute has on
government and other organi-
zations. We are represented at
the United Nations as a non
governmental organization
through the Associated
Country Women of the
World. We have a lot to offer
the women in our communi-
ties. Let's offer it. Stand up
and be proud to be a member
of the best organization in the
world in this centennial year.
The annual meeting is
scheduled for April 8.
We have one charter mem-
ber Thelma Dale who has
been a member for 69 years.
Eva McCartney and Dorothy
Townsend were members
when Seaforth formed their
institute in 1928.
Helen MacKenzie gave
some of the highlights of the
Institute.
The meeting was turned
over to Gladys Doig and
Marjorie Rock. Marjorie
Rock read a reading
"Branching Out". Gladys
Doig and the rest of the
members gave readings for
this IOOth year. We had some
of our 4-H leaders help us to
celebrate our 100 years.
The meeting was adjourned
and lunch was served by
Marion Gordon, Marjorie
Rock, Jessie McGregor,
Betty Hulley and Evelyn
Carter.

Students work
on five senses
The early years students are
now working on their five
senses. Hearing was the sense
they studied this week. The
Grades 1 s are finishing up
their measuring unit and have
finished their amaryllis sto-
ries as %Cf. They are now
working on recording ideas
in story form. Some of the
titles so far are, "My Dog", "I
Love You Mom", "The Wolf'
and "The Little Chick".
Mrs. Vivian's Grade 2/3 arc
now moved back into their
newly painted
(Hawthorn/Sapling color)
classroom. Mrs.
Vandendool's class is now in
the gym as their room is
being painted which will cre-
ate a great atmosphere for
working on their mystery sto-
ries. So far they have written
such stories as, "The Case of
the Unexpected Robberies",
"The Case of the Missing
Horses", "The Case of the
Missing Teacher".
Here are the results of the '

years ago.
