at church skating party
An appreciative crowd of
300 people gave a standing
ovation to the musical en-
tertainment group at Ontario
Street Church skating party
sponsored by the Coffee -
mates, morning unit U.C.W.
The last number of the
evening k arousing the
audience to their feet was
"The Orange Blossom
Special" featuring guest
violinist, Fred James of
Goderich.
®Making up the group of
talented musicians were
Doris McKinley, trumpet and
piano, Jerry Cox on drums,
Bert Lobb on organ, Bob
Mann and Fred Lobb on
guitars. The "unnamed"
group prepared their toe -
tapping music for their two
sets in fun and ,for the love of•
entertaining as shown by
their outstanding per-
formance.They made a big
hit with those present.
The congregational party
was a fund raising project
sponsored by the Coffee -
mates to raise money for the
church's new organ. Home -
baked beans, hot-dogs,
cupcakes and sundaes filled
all to capacity.
Unexpected skating prizes
were presented to the winners
y Bob Elliott in his usual
excellent entertaining
manner. The John Lav is
family received one dozen
eggs (chocolate) for being the
largest family on skates. The
"oldest couple" (Bob's
humorous choice) went to
Stan and June Johns.
Joan Bell happened to be in
the ,right spot at the right
time: - 5:05%. The • Oldest
Skater went to the nation-
wide, renowned. T.V. per-
sonality, Clinton's own Wat
Webster. Few ladies would
actually. admit their age, would
Ruth Jenkin's was brave
enough to qualify for oldest
lady on skates. Little Lee Ana
Lavis was the youngest on
skates. All were really good
sports and added to the fun of
the evening.
Jane Groves, Coffe-mates
skating party organizer, led
the crowd in a lively sing-
song of actions, rounds and
good old singing. Two films,
"On Ice" and "People Soup"
were then shown with old and
young laughing alike.
With a lot of last minute
hard work and fellowship, the
Coffee -mates •realized over
$300 and according to the
rumors, if you weren't there,
you missed one of the best
evenings at Ontario Street in
many years. •
Hullett Happenings
The fire station
On February 28, the grade 2
class travelled by bus to the
Blyth Fire Station. The class
toured the building and were
shown the different fire
engines. They were also told
what to do if a fire ever
started.

studies. All the students had
an educational and enjoyable
time.

public speaking contest for
Blyth and Hullett finalists.
The winners of the junior
division were: first, Julie
Daier, Hullett; second, Garth
Wittich, Blyth; third, Nancy
Snell, Blyth.
The senior division winners
were: first, John Lawson,
Hullett; second, Karen

speeches were all very in-
teresting and all the con-
testants did well.

four class went on a poker'
rally by snowshoes or skis.
They wrapped their lunch in
'oil and cooked it over an
open fire. The students had to
•
follow a snowmobile trail and
collect cards at different
places.
After, they would see who
had the best poker hand.
After collecting the cards, the
pupils went toboganning on a
nearby hill. On Tuesday,
February 28, the grade 5 class
went on a similar trip. Both
classes had an enjoyable
time.
Report cards
Once again the report cards
were handed out to the
students. On March 8, the
pupils received the second
term report cards. There
were some pleasant surprises
and a few disappointments
for the students.

to see their marks, but were
told not to open them until
they arrived home. The
school is now entering a new
term, after the long second
one.
Kindergarten registration
On March 7, Hullett held
kindergarten registration in
the auditorium. There will be
many new, happy faces in
September to meet their
teacher, Miss Adams.
