HILGENDORFF PHOTO For part in play Blyth lookingfor local lad The Blyth Festival is searching for a young actor to play a major role in Big Box, a new comedy by Dave Carley, set to open on July 2nd as the second production of the 1999 Silver Anniversary Season. Director James Roy, the Festival's founder. hopes to cast a local lad in the very demanding role of a precocious sharp- tongued son of the most inept private detective in Canada. "We're looking for a very talented boy with superb comic timing, whose voice is showing signs of cracking, and with peach fuzz about to appear on his upper lip" says Anne Chislett, the Festival's artistic director. Rehearsals for Big Box begin on June 7 and the production runs until August 28. so there is a very large time commitment expected from the young man who is chosen. It's a real summer job - with lots of hard work and long hours. Only boys who are very serious about wanting to act should try out, and only with their parents' permission. Auditions will be held at the Festival offices on January 9 (snow date January 16). Those who wish an appointment should telephone Fran at 523-9300. Big Box is a very funny. somewhat risque comedy about big box retailing and its effect on small town Main Streets. There's no swearing, but even G -d gets involved in the fun. so families who arc sensitive to what .i,Ight be perceived as "irreverence" or "naughtiness" may wish to discourage their children from auditioning.

CLINTON 482-3413 r A CLOSED CHRISTMAS DAY CLOUD NEW YEAR'S DAY omunsrmoommik THE HURON EXPOSITOR, DECEMBER 23, 1996.2 SDHS near the top in area schools' Angel Tree food collecting campaign On Dec. I, the angel tree campaign started at S.D.H.S. This annual campaign involves the students who bring in non-perishable food items. The food that is collected goes to the Huron County food hank and is distributed to people in need. In the past few years, all of the secondary schools in Huron County have had a competition to see who can donate the most food. Last year S.D.H.S. was the top school in all of Huron County. This year, we are currently running just slightly behind Wingham. Hopefully S.D.H.S. can win again. It is not only the students who get involved in the school. Mrs. Waldick, one of our teachers at S.D.H.S. has helped out her home room (11C) by donating 250 cans to match her home room donations. 1IC was the winning home room by bringing in 812 non- perishable food items. As a result of bringing in more food than any other home rooms in the school, I IC was served a 'gourmet meal' cooked by the students' council on Dec. 18, the last day of school before Christmas holidays. Some of the students at S.D.H.S. have made some comments about what they think of thc angel tree campaign. Stephanie Dale, Grade 12 student, says "I think that the angel tree is a good opportunity to get students in the school to help out other students." Melissa Oosterbosch, also a Grade 12 student at S.D.H.S. said, "it is a great idea and a really good cause and that other people should help by pitching in." In the whole school, there were 2,100 non- perishable food items. Upcoming Events: Wednesday, January 27. Semester 1 examinations begin.
