Parents and guardians are welcome to come and watch. Students will be taken class by class to par- ticipate in the Rodeo. It starts at 9:00 a.m. and goes till everyone has had a turn. Constable Marshall will help judge. The teachers want us to be able to ride our bikes safely. • Jeff Patterson Sounds Like Music - It does sound like music as soon as we enter the music room at SHDHS. Boy do those highschool kids stare at us. We look like midgets taut with Mrs. Mdffat leading the parade of grade fives and sixes from all over South Huron we feel a little more secure. It's the end of March as we load on another bus with highschool students to drive to Kitchener. It's the second day and we're off to the symphony. That day we had a great time but it was freez- ing. On the last day we exchanged good-byes, taped our singing, and left for home for the third time with our heads full of memories. Lorna Miller Primary Spring Concert - Room eight took part in the Spring Concert. We were skipping. Some people didn't skip really well but I think they tried their best and so did Mrs. Skillender. Some people did tricks, one person showed skiing moves, one skipped forward with crossed ropes. I skipped backwards. It was fun. The girls told the poem Arabella Miller. The boys did "On the Back of a Crocodile." Our primary choir songs were really good. I think it was an interesting Spring Concert. Parents, friends, grandmas and grandpas came. Leanne Dundas A Visitor's Eye View of Queensland Last week Mrs. Skillender's daughter Elizabeth came to talk to us .about Australia. You see she and her grandpa went to Australia for two weeks. While she was there she went to Bunya park. She said she saw a wombat taking a fit. She saw a Kookaburra and she got to hold a koala. She had her picture taken with an emu but she was standing about 6 feet away from the emu to the right. She also got to pet a wallaby. Another day she went to the Sunshine Planta- tion along the coast of Queensland. I'm not too sure but I think maybehe went inside the Big Pineapple. The Big Pineapple is . a humungous pineapple that was built in the Sun- shine Plantation. -Kim Covers Institute meets at Clandeboye Mary Scott was hostess for the May meeting of the Clandeboye Women's Institute. Ten members answered the roll call "How to combat stress". Convener of Family and Consumer Affairs, Helen Cunningham, assisted . by Eleanor Kestle, spoke on the ef- fects of a stroke and how to deal with it. They had a most interesting and in- formative program with suitable poems from the Heart and Stroke -Foundation magazine. Hazel Cunningham reported on a couple of bus tours being planned. The Lucan seniors are planning one to the Lion Safari at Rockton and to the Botanical Gardens at Hamilton on May 25, while the Clandeboye W.I. is planning a bus four to Niagara Falls in July. Plans were discussed for the Com- munity History Tea in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Clandeboye's Women's Institute to be held at St. James Church. Clandeboye, on Saturday, June 6, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Mary Scott and Jean Hodgins gave reports on the District Annual which was held at Beechwood on May 12. Following lunch served by Marion Hodgson and the hostess, an auction sale of plants, home baking, etc boosted the W.I. funds, with Hazel Cunningham as a very capable auctioneer. Shipka By MRS. HUGH MbRENZ June is Senior Citizen's month. The theme for this year is "Aging is a lifelong affair." Every year since 1963 senior's organizations, community groups and governments have spon- sored events. A poster celebrating the month produced by the office for Senior Citizens Affairs, is published in 23 languages this year. A highlight of the month, according to Ron Van Horne, Minister for Senior Citizens, is the presentation of Ontario Senior Achievement Awards, to be held at Queen's Park the first week in June. Some events that the thousands of seniors in Ontario will be doing are the senior games, talent displays, heritage activities, photography con- test, dinners. boat cruises, building and flying kites. Personals Harold Finkbeiner returned home last week from University Hospital, London, where he had been a patient for three weeks. Lori Vincent, daughter of Harold and Lucille Vincent, returned home last Thursday from the U.S. Lori has been studying at Warner Southern College, Lake Wales, near Orlando, Florida, this past year. • Weekend guests, with Hugh and i were Peter and Maureen Jackson, and sons Christopher and Paul, of Toronto. Other recent visitors Were Henrynd Annie Becker, Zurich, Melvin 'and (:ertie Stade, Dashwood area. Australian Display - Our class is talking about Australia. We decorated our classroom. One of the other teachers let us borrow some of her things. We have decorated our room with Australian hats, pictures and storys, posters, a• lot of informative books about Australia. Mrs. Skillender brought some tea towels. They have maps and information on them. We also learned the national anthem. I think Australia is terrific. Don't you? - Lisa Stewardson Education Week - From April 27 to May 1 was Education Week. Some of our mom's came to our school. We showed them around the classroom. On)y two moms came to our classroom. My mom came at the first recess. The other Mother came at 2:15. 1 told my mom all about Australia. My mom liked the koalas, best. Mathew Hayter Novel Reading - In novel reading we read a novel. Each time we get checked off for reading a new novel. When we get 10 books read we get a certificate. Then we try to get 15 read. When we get 15 you get a different certificate. We choose from our Australian storybook for our last five books. For independent reading I have 10 books so far. By the end of the week I will have 15 I hope. I have read Kites, Tonsils, Dinosaurs, Games, Things we Eat, Boats, Arctic, People Who Help Us, Animals, Insects. There are lots to choose from, -stories, poems or non-fiction books too. Shawn McCurdy, Karen Lovie Shawn has now completed 20 book! Partners in Excellence Readathon has us really excited. Room Eight have earned enough for an en- cyclopedia set. Other classes want en- cyclopedia, Childcraft sets and science sets for their pledge funds. It was fun to read and it will be fun to use our new research books. FINDING YOUR ROOTS - Geniologist Angus Baxter was at the Exeter library recently discussing "Finding Your Roots". Above, he shows a family tree to Gerry Webb, Don McCurdy and Phyllis Thompson. 1 14iyi)rhe Best Plat --e to be is a RUST 5 yr. term STANDAR TRUST Member Deposit tat raece Corporasioe nimum deposit SSOn Hares bject to change without notice 386 Main St. S.
