McGillivray Central news Mrs. Freer's grade 5-6 class and Miss Walker's grade 4-5 class went to see "Winteriz- ing" a drama production organized, by Don Flecker, at Alumni Hall this week. Some of our grade 4 students wrote about their impressions. I liked all the characters, but the one Hiked best is Aun- tie. Auntie is my favourite because she does things that I would like to do, except steal babies. I liked when she went looking for Jakin and she' came back frozen. She was funny when she forgot things. By Shayne Robinson. This is one of my favourite parts in Winterthing. Auntie was a kind person but had stolen babies. She always cared about the youngest. Jakin was the second youngest until Auntie took another baby. Jakin liked School quiz Continued from front page allow for individual dif- ferences. For example, one advanced English class may be enriched with seminars, tutorials, or research pro- grams, but the reporting of achievement (i.e. assess- ment) will be based on "com- parable standards" at the ad- vanced level. "Advanced Level - Enriched" would not appear on a graduation document. More questions will be answered next week. If you have a question on this topic, write it out and leave it at the T -A office. Your question and the answer will be printed in the next issue of this paper. everyone except Carilan. Carilan was a girl who was a baby when someone hurt her feelings. She always stayed near Auntie. She was real bold! In one part Jakin slapped Carilan because Jakin was mad and Carilan was saying bad things. After Jakin slap- ped her in the face, she went crying to Auntie. But Auntie found another baby and told her she wasn't the youngest anymore, so she had to take care of the baby. Sedna I thought Carilan deserved it. They were superb actors!!! By Paul Woodburn. I liked the play Winter - thing. It was good. My favourite character is Auntie. She is a short, chubby, old lady. She is very fuiiny! Everytime a person leaves their baby somewhere shP takes it. She takes good care of the babies she steals. She never remembers where she is. When she was on Winter Island she thought she was on the mainland. I like all the characters, but I liked Auntie best.

By: Kathy Kettle Shoplifting Continued from front page even policeman", Doyle said. Doyle has been seriously in- jured only once, by a man posing as a cripple who smashed Doyle across the face with his cane, breaking the investigator's nose and blacking his eye. Most come quietly after leaving a store and being'asked if they have something in their possession they have not paid for. Honest customers pay for 'the shoplifter's crime. The financial loss and the cost of surveillance are passed on in higher prices. Doyle inform- ed his interested audience that the apprehension of a person who has been stealing from a store on a regular basis saves the proprietor an average *2,500 in a year. Guardian, Drugs owner Esmail Merani was one of those signing up with Four Winds Investigations at the close of the meeting. In a three-day period before Christmas he lost ladies' wallets with a wholesale value of *250. From now on, people who are tempted to steal from Ex- eter merchants run a high risk of being caught, con- victed, and carrying a blot on their reputations for the rest of their lives.
