When the moon passes between us and the sun it does not appear large enough to cover the sun's disk from any vantage point on earth. First contact will occur at about 11:20 a.m.. The eclipse will end at 2:14 p.m. EDT. In recent years astronomers have warned the public so insistently of the possible dangers of improper eclipse viewing that a new folklore has emerged.

The sun is something we never normally look at direct- ly. We are conditioned to keep our eyes averted from it and for a very good reason; even a brief steady gaze at the sun can cause permanent damage to the retina of the eye. Dur- ing an eclipse several things serve to heighten this danger: the fact that something in- teresting is going on increases the compulsion to stare at the sun and our aversion is over- come to some extent. Without knowing the danger, people look at the sun with optical instruments such as binoculars or telescopes. This is something which can- not be done even once as per- manent damage to the eye is the inevitable result. It is not safe ev n.to view the eclipse througme form of protec- tion w ich cuts the visible light sufficiently to permit steady viewing, because of the transmission of the invisi- ble infrared rays; this can result in literally "cooking" the cells of the eye's retina. The best way to observe the sun during an eclipse is by in- direct methods. The pin-hole camera is the simplest in- direct viewer of all. It is par - I ticularly useful if you have a south facing window into which the sun shines at noon. Cut a four inch square hole in the centre of an 18 to 24 inch square piece of cardboard. Tape a piece of aluminum foil into this square and punch a pin hole about one-eighth inch in diameter in the centre of the foil. 'Pape the card against the glass of the window and an image of the sun will ap- pear in the centre of the shadow of the card on the op- posite wall. At a distance of 10 feet, this image will be one inch in diameter. If you wish to use binoculars or a small telescope, then use them to Tiger Times from Stephen Central Tree Planting Ceremony - May 3, Stephen Central students and three guests of honour planted three white pines. The guests were Jack Riddell, MPP Huron - Middlesex, Harry Hayter, Huron County Board of Education and Robert McCall, Superintendent of Program, Huron County Board of Education. The six students who helped the guests were Julie Schade, Jason Finkbeiner, Christine Schade, Alex Russell, Susan Ratz and Dean Pfaff. The three white pines were planted for bicentennial pur- poses. (Susan Ratz and Dean Pfaff - Gr.5) A Baby Lamb Visited Kindergarten - She licked our fingers. We petted her. We fed the baby lamb her milk from a bottle. She is white. Her fur is soft, curly and fluffy. She walked around to us. She fell asleep and then we put her in her box to go home to mom. Spring Concert - A couple of days before the Spring Con- cert, May 16 were really busy. All of the primary teachers were organizing something for their children to do. Also the primary choir was learn- ing new songs. The kindergartens did a spring song with kindergarten spring flowers. There were six - kindergarten flowers. Mrs. Miller's class and Mrs. Hogarth's class put on a show called Chick Soup with Rice. Ms. Thomson's class put on a show called Mr. McGrew Zoo. My sister Lisa was a Tragle. She was all green, bumpy, slimey, and slippery. Grade 1 did two dances called Clickety Clock and Round and Round. The cheerleaders did baseball and lots of other sports cheers. Room eight did two folk dances. "Partner, Won't You Dance with Me?" and "Skip to My Lou". Last but not least there was Chris Neil. He was Master of the Ceremonies. (Jenny Robertson - Grade 3) Arbour Day - Friday May 18 Stephen Central had their Arbor Day. Each class had a different project. Room eight is going to the Hundred Acre Wood to clean up. They are going to cut off dead branches and pick up garbage. They have 25 white pine seedling to plant at the east side of the wood. (Matthew Miller Gr. 3) Pippi's Birthday Party - was funny. Room 9 ate a birthday cake for Pippi's birthday. They sang "Happy Birthday" to Pippi. Room 9 wrote a Pippi story on their own and did a painting. A couple of the adventures are written below. (Erin O'Rourke) Pippi At The Beach - Pippi saw a lifeguard. She thought it would be nice to climb up and sit with him. So she climbed up. "Hi! My name is Pippi Longstocking. What's your name?" The man didn't say his name. "Oh, don't be shy, you! Talk!" Then it got boring up there so she jumped down. Then she shouted, "When you learn to talk I'll go back!" (Doug Wilson) Pippi In A Cave - Tommy and Annika had to go home for supper. When they went home she went for a forty mile walk. She went in a cave. She met a bear. The bear would not move so she picked him up. Pippi met a dragon. She pulled his tail. She said, "What do you think you're do- ing sleeping in the path?"

Constable Marshall - came to Stephen Central on May 7 to talk to grade 6, 7 and 8 classes about drugs. We inter- viewed Randy Hoffman and he said"The Constable talked about the effects of drugs. He had some films." The Con- stable had some drugs there and showed them to the grade 6, 7 and 8 classes. (Justin Pickering and Lee Hope). eclipse project an image of the sun on a white card held behind the eyepiece. A vertical board on a 'base has a pair of binoculars clamped to it. The shadow card has a hole to ad- mit light from the sun into one side of the binoculars. If the eyepiece is racked out as far as it will go, an image of the sun can be formed on a card held behind. For standard 7x35 binoculars, this image will be about one-quarter inch in diameter and appear about four inches behind the eyepiece. Under no cir- cumstances look through the binoculars, or irrepairable damage to your eyes will occur. For direct observation of the sun, the eyes must be pro- perly protected. Sunglasses, no matter how expensive, are not sufficient nor are crossed polaroid sunglasses. The im- portant criterion for filters for the eyes is that they absorb the infrared radiation which, while not seen, can cook the eye. Number 14 welder's glass, available at any welding supply shop, is satisfactory for short periods (a few seconds at a time). Fully exposed and developed black and white negative film is sometimes suggested as a suitable filter. If this is prepared properly by a photographer who knows what he is doing, it may be satisfactory, but we do not recommend it!
