Hem, Elizabeth Kerslake, and Vanessa Bray. ,Optimists bring Nintendo challenge to Exeter • EXETER - The gauntlet has 6een thrown down by the Exeter Optimist Club to video game !buffs in the area who arc ready to show off their Nintendo skills. The Optimists are opening the South Huron Recreation Centre to public school students who are ready to do battle with the Super Mario video game. Students are pre -registering this week at Exet- er Public School, Precious Blood, Hensall Public School, Usborne Central, or McCurdy Public School for the Saturday chal- lenge, from 9-1 p.m. This is the first year of the challenge for the Exeter Opti- mists', but as Gerald Merner ex- plained that last year's challenge virtually swept the nation and the Ontario finals that were held in Blyth and attracted as many fas- cinated parents as competitors. "There's even a national level to this thing," said Meurer of competitors who do well enough on Saturday to advance to higher levels of video challenge. However, most local students will be more interested that their one -dollar registration also enti- tles them to pop and pizza to calm them in the heat of battle. The Optimists also enlisted the support of Usborne Central School students to help publicize the event. A poster contest was held so that posters could go up in the participating schools. • court Valentine's Forester's Lodge ladies meet By Muriel Lewis Wednesday.
