She was the best teacher I ever had, She is better than the teachers in grade one and two, Even in three and four, f learned to want her more." Like most children, grade six student Anne Marie Hall was saddened to hear that their favourite teacher, Mrs. Dorothy Williams was retiring after teaching kin- detgaxten and grade one classes at the Clinton Public School for 20 years. Few of Mrs. Williams students have any bad memories of her class and most parents appreciated her fine work. The young and the old came out to prove this on June 29 when Dorothy Williams Night was held at the Clinton Public School. The open house gave everyone a chance to wish Mrs. Williams the best on her retirement, and for Mrs. Williams it was a chance to see many of her old students and to remember old times in the classroom. Mrs. ,Williams, who claims she is a "pack rat," brought out all her old scrapbooks dating back to 1957. In some ;of her earlier books she-41as • artwork done , by Scott -MacAuley, Dianne Parker, Robert Millet, Teddy Collins; Brian Cox's account of a trip to thefair. and printing by Beverley cedmore.

Paul Herman and Kevin Dutot. , now 20, remember Hdllowe'en, when Mrs. Williams Would dress up as a witch and terrorize the halls and the classrooms. Erin Phillips of the 1969 kindergarten class fondly recalls the lollipop tree that Mrs. Williams used to make. The tree would be placed in front of all the school, and the children would have to go up and dance around it. However embarrassing it was, things seemed better in the end, when the dancers received a lollipop from the tree. Mrs. Williams has many memories of her own and recalled an incident to all of her students that came to the open house. She remembered that she still had a set of miniature cows that Paul Herman gave to her in his 1961 kindergarten class. Probably the most im- portant aspect of Mrs. Williams successful teaching was her belief in active in- volvement in her teaching, methods. All of her students, This miniature covered wagon had just enough room for this family in the Bayfield Centenniiii parade. (News - Record photo) Stanley Twp. rec. news The Stanley Township Recreation " Committee met Wednesday evening...,After a lengthy discussion on financing the lights for the ball diamond, it was decided to canvass the township in hopes of raising $8,000 for lights, 'a change room. fence, swings, etc. It is anticipated that a Wintario grant of one third of the total cost will be forthcoming when this -money is raised. The Committee feels that full use cannot be,made of the ball diamond until lightsare erected, as we are a farming Community. It is hoped that ji riailents. and others in- terested *ill be generous when the canvasser calls. A picnic at the Stanley Township Park w discussed, and Augttst 15 was setas a possible date. The first ball practice for ladies will be on Thursday, July 8 at 7:30, and it will be at the new diamond. All ;girls and ladies over 13 are invited to.come out and play ball for fun. The older boys and men will begin July 11 at 2 o'clock. The first game to be played recall the 'live animals she used to bring to class and the great field trips they used to take. The most memorable, trip for Mrs...Williams and her grade one class of 1973. was a trip to the farm where many of the children saw their first cow and barn. The trip was such a success that the children's accounts of the day were published in newspapers throughout Canada and the United States. including such large papers as the Toronto Star and the New YOrk Times. For Mrs. Williams the publication was a chance to show people that she was not running a babysitting service. - but teaching youngsters many things. Throughout the years, her classes always made special poems and artwork for Mother's Day. and one class had a Pioneer Week in which they wore old-fashioned clothes and studied tools and utensils and baked cookies. Although Mrs. Williams began teaching in Clinton in 1957, she has had years of experience teaching all grades prior to that. Her teaching career began in 1939 when she taught 10 pupils in a one -room schoolhouse in the Auburn area. After teaching there for two years, she moved to Lacknow to teach for another year and then on to- Hamilton. where she taught for another eight years before taking.up residence in Clinton. Even after all these years. Mrs. Williams will miss teaching as much as the children will miss her: she has many jobs line-up to do and a -lot of travelling plan- ned. Bert Gray. a former principal of the Public Schocrl who worked with Mrs. Williams for 17 years and sinew her from her Auburn schoolhouse days said. "I can see you hoeing diligently in your garden or at an auction sale buying old furniture. - Mrs. Williams will have little chance to lose contact with her students or the school, since she has many costumes and lots of junk that can be used in concerts and plays. Mrs. Williams said. "I have nothing better to die than to 'go to town. so 111 be sure to see many of you. - For Mrs. Williams' ex- cellent. 'energetic and en- thusiastic efforts as a teacher and a person. she was given several gifts from the children. an album listing all her pupils names and a lounge chair and _table from the school. Although Mrs Williams claims she will sit in her chair and get fat for the rest the summer. it is almost im- possible to believe that this will happen to a yet very active lady. on the new diamond was on Friday. with Stanley A boys playing Auburn. Auburn was victorious with a score of 33 - 26 Stanley A girls defeated Goderich Township 24-23 in a close game. and Stanley B girls were defeatedby Goderich Township. We would like to see more parents out to cheer the kids on. and we wish all the teams luck. We hope the players Will remember that they. are playing for fun. and that the coaches will insist on good' sportsmanship at all times.
