is 70 years old
An enjoyable time was had
by approximately 90
members of Huron South
District Women's Institute at
the Community Centre when
Zurich WI celebrated its 70th
anniversary. A lovely lun-
cheon was served by the
Zurich branch:
Greetings were brought by
the district president, Dolores
Shapton and the alternate
' provincial board member,
Jean Ratcliffe of St. Marys.
The program consisted of
readings, singing, a hat show
and a speaker.
A former member 99-vear-
old Matilda Tetreau, a resi-
dent of Bluewlter Rest Home,
got a standing ovation, for her
reading "I Ain't Dead Yet."
The speaker Gwyn
Whilsmith related a few of the
highlights of her recent trip
around the world but was glad
to get back to Canada, the
nicest country of all.
The meeting closed with the
Lord's Prayer and several
went home with gifts receiv-
ed in a draw.
St, Peter's C.W.L. held its
June meeting on June 12. A
special thanks was expressed
o all who helped at the con-
firmation on June 6.
We were reminded that ex-
tra tickets for the Bean
Festival quilt are available
from Mrs. Evelyn Jeffrey or
Mrs. Sharon Overholt. Plans
were made for the plant and
bake sale to be held after
Mass on Sunday July 1.
Members are asked to bring
their goods to the hall before

sent by a Michigan student
was found by Cam Rader of
Zurich. They asked us to
write if we found their
balloon.
Thank you to all school
volunteers for their time and
kindness in helping with
school programs and special
activities.
One day we walked over to
Jared Seibert's home to see
his pet raccoon and rabbits.
Grades four, five and six
spent June 22 visiting the
Lambton Heritage Museum
and having a Nature Tour in
the Pinery Provincial Park.
Environment Week - May
28 -June 1: The week included
a presentation called Rabies
and You shown by K.D.
Seeger. Everyone learned the
importance of vaccinating
pets against this extremely
hazardous disease. This con-
cluded with the Grade seven
and eights attending Camp
Sylvan on Wednesday, Thurs-
day and Friday.
Friday June 8 the Regional
Track and Field rn^et was
held in Exeter. Our school's
results were: Laurie For-
rester - First in high jump, tri-
ple, 100 metres and running
long jump and third in 400
metres. She also won the
senior girls medallion.
Craig Redick was second in
standing long and third in
running long.
Also on the eighth, the
Huron County Dairy
Princess, Miss Muriel Huth,
visited the school and gave us
a very interesting talk on
dairy production.
Robert Priest, a Canadian
poet, songwriter and rock
musician entertained the en-
tire school with very
humourous poems and songs.
He also visited the Grades
four to six classrooms.
The future Grade nines at-
tended Orientation Thursday
to get used to what SHDHS
would be like next year.
That night the graduation
ceremony was held. Speeches
were given by Mr. McCall the
guest speaker, Mr. O'Brien,
and Nicole deBlieck (valedic-
torian). Every grade eight
made their own silhouette - it
was quite interesting to try
and find out who was who.
I sincerely hope everyone
has a safe and extremely hap-
py summer!

The year has come to an
