The Lucan Institute made a similar presentation to the grade 3-4 class at the Biddulph Building.

E.O. Lancaster and his wife, Inez. The meditation was taken from the Living Message with the scripture being read by Edna Hodgins. During the business portion, Edythe Murdy gave an excellent report on the annual conference of A.C.W. which was held in London, April 30. Six women from Holy Trinity attended this day. A time of fellowship and celebration followed the meeting when we honored one of our members Mrs. Wm (Blanche) Haskett, celebrating her 90th bir- thday, May 8.

Mrs. Haskett has been a member of this group since coming to Lucan in 1915. beads, the blackboard, housekeeping centre, jig saws, building with large blocks, farm machinery and nail pounding. What a busy, happy group! In Ann Walker's grade 1, the theme seemed to be "Signs of Spring" and there were many. One group was gathered around Mrs. Walker reading aloud while others, at their desks, were busy with various activities. The highlight of the morning in Marguerite McRoberts grade 1 was a visit from Michael Bagh- dadi's Doberman Pinscher, Beau, who, while a very large dog was most gentle with the children. Various features of this particular breed were discussed by Mrs McRoberts and the pupils. A Cecropia Moth was on display in the remedial teaching centre. Adrienne Toews had found and brought it in some months ago and children In her centre had watched with interest for its emergence which finally occurred on Thursday. It was to be freed by Mrs. Toews on the weekend in the area where it was found. In ShirieyMcMillan'sgrade 2 a study had been made of the Barbados with many pictures on display and the pupils showed the booklets each had made. The other grade 2, teacher, Linda Lyons, had an in- teresting study display of frogs, toads and reptiles, also pictures of their recent visit to the sugar bush at Lake Whittaker. Dorothy Nott and her grade 3 pupils are making a study of Damon and Pythias and have on display in the library a mural of "Life of Primitive Man" in different phases, which is a continuing study. The students had brush -painted pictures of their ideas of "Goodbye Evil Spirits" in the life of primitive man. Mrs. Nott had hung these in the hall. This class also made a mural on "The Year of the Disabled" which showed much thought and preparation. This was the writer's first visit to the new library facilities in the former second grade 3 room, and what an improvement! Laverne Revington, the librarian at both schools had most interesting displays set up and it Is a very bright and cheery room in which to do library work, thanks to Mrs. Revington.
