Exams looming soon in Clinton
By Philip J. McMillan
CLINTON - Parents
should have received the
January newsletter by
now. Please note the cal=
endar on the final page.
The month ends with
exams which begin on
Wednesday, January
27th. The exam schedule
will be published and sent
home early this
week. Please take
time to check the
schedule to insure
that your daughter
or son does not
have an appoint-
ment that is in con-
flict with the exam
schedule. Students who
note any conflict in their
schedule should inform
the office. Students with
conflicts are students who
take two courses which
have the exam at the
same time. This is rare,
but does need to be dealt
with. The weeks before
exams should be a time of
serious review on the part
of the student. Parents
can help by encouraging
the student to study on a
regular basis and to seek
any extra help possible
from their teachers or a
student peer tutor. The
student needs to prepare
a study plan and perhaps,
if this is their first exam,
they should seek help
from their teachers about
good study habits.
Students need to be real-
istic in their expectations
and not study for pro-
longed periods of time the
nightbefore the exam.
The student who pre-
1.h►
pares a bit each night in
the last few weeks will do
much better than the stu-
dent who crams at the
last minute. It's also
important to ask other
students who have had
exams about the experi-
ence so as to gain a better
understanding of the
entire process. This can
be a tense time for
students and the
anxiety related to
the examination
process is entirely
counterproductive.
The student needs
to find a coping
process that helps
to reverse the tensions
before and during an
exam. The mental readi-
ness of a student is as
important to a good grade
as all the studying in the
world. When a student
starts to study they need
to have hope that they
will do well if they work
at it. We see success in
any field where the power
of a positive approach is
practiced.
Last week the school
was closed twice. I ask
parents and students to
stay tuned to their radio
station of choice for clo-
sure announcements. At
St. Anne's we listen to the
advice of our bus compa-
nies. There are seven
carriers who service the
school on a variety of
runs from all around the
county. We contact CKNX
at FM ` 102.,CFPL at
AM980 and CBC at FM
93.5. The decision about
closure is not made hasti-

ly. The school trans-
portation policy is clear
about the process. The
ultimate concern is safety
of students and staff on
the way to or from school.
It is important to note
that the choice to send
students home during the
day is a very serious one.
The bus companies again
advise us and we are
always concerned about
sending the busses out
early as the average dri-
ver is not aware the
busses are on the road.
During whiteout condi-
tions that can pose a very
serious hazard. We are
in frequent contact with
the bussing companies
during the day and also
are kept up to date on
accurate information
about road conditions
around the county, Our
school is unique in that
one part of the county
may be closed down and
inaccessible while anoth-
er area may be clear and
open. Have a safe week.

Varna United Church
by '7CONR&SPOND4
ID:f
VARNA - The Stan Lee Club met on Tuesday Jan
4th at the Complex beginning with a sop and
sandwich luncheon. Soup was provided by
Margaret Hayter, Bernice Reid and Anna Keys.
Soup goes well on a cold day and most people sam-
ple all three kinds. President Charles Reid spoke
briefly on the International Year of Older Persons
(1999). Anna had obtained buttons commemorating
this. They were given out. Anna gave a reading 'A
Sale of Repairs' It was decided to buy a new coffee
percolator. Several games of euchre were enjoyed.
The next meeting will be on Feb. 2 at 1:30 p.m.
Church Services were in Varna on Sunday with
special music by the South Huron District High
School Grade 11, 12 and OAC Vocal Class and their
director, Mrs. Claessens. Church next Sunday will
be in Goshen. Sunday School teachers for the next
Sunday will be Dianne Peck and LeisaStephenson.
Jan 24 will be Barb Consitt and Joyce Dowson and
Jan 31 will be Mavis Govier and Lorraine .Taylor.
Anyone wanting to teach for a one-time or on a
permanent basis should contact the new Sunday
School Superintendent Lori Merner.
Elly VanBergen would like to put a birthday cal-
endar together for the Church so she needs dates
and also if you have any other events or occasions
you would like to share.
