Bradstreet at Alumni Hall
Editor's Note: The following
is an unsolicited review. We
welcome all such reviews to
our paper. In this case, the
author chose to remain
anonymous.
Amid the noise and con-
fusion that often passes for
music these days, there oc-
casionally appears an artist
whose sound is sincere, easy
listening. Recent Juno Award
winner David Bradstreet is
such an artist. Performing in
front of 2,000 people at UWO's
Alumni Hall, April 2, Brad-
street put on a concert that
left people wanting to hear
more.
Michael Lewis appeared as
the opening act. A gifted
musician,he performed his
own compositions with a
great deal of emotion and
energy. His "Theme for a
Dear Young Friend" was
particularly moving, Lewis,
who is a life-long friend of
Bradstreet's, successfully
warmed the audience for the
main attraction.
Bradstreet's rich voice
beautifully complemented his
sensitive lyrics. He handled
equally well both the older
folk material and newer,
progressive pieces. An
audience favourite,
"Renaissance" recorded by
Vaidy, featured Bradstreet
and his guitar, alone on stage.
His relaxed manner and
friendly bantering with the
audience was reminiscent of
his days at small coffee
houses. The audience was
captivated.
The concert, although short
(one set) was well paced,
There was a good mixture of
cuts from both of his albums,;
"David Bradstreet" and
"Dreaming in Colour". The
set began with a couple of up-
tempo numbers, including
last summer's hit, "Long,
Long Road". This was
followed by several subdued
solos by Bradstreet, who
accompanied himself on
guitar, then piano. The tempo
picked up from there and
climaxed in a number
dedicated to spring, "When
the Sun Arrives". As an
encore Bradstreet performed
his newest release "Midnight
Song (Ringing in My Ears):
The members of the band
•are all excellent musicians.

Bass player Carl Keesee, for
many years the only band
member, provided a beautiful
clarinet solo in "Cover to
Cover". The voices of Keesee
and drummer Jim Neil
combined in perfect harmony
with Bradstreet.
All who saw his concert
hope that David Bradstreet is
just beginning a long and
successful career.
The show must go on
"Guys and Dolls", this
year's broadway musical at
CHSS went into production at
the beginning of February.
Shortly after, rehearsals
were rudely interrupted by
the teachers' strike. The
services of Miss L. McKenzie
(director) and Miss M. Storey
(musical director) were
suspended and the cast could
not use the school gym for
rehearsals.
The cast met and practiced
at Ontario Street Church,
Wesley -Willis Church, the
town hall and R. B.'s
bedroom. Greatly ap-
preciated assistance came
from Mrs. Mary Hearn,
Louise McGregor, Paul
Wheeler and Mrs. Zablocki.
However, finances soon
became necessary in order to
begin building sets and
making costumes. The
decision was made to turn
"Guys and Dolls" into a town
production. The Lions Club
has agreed to sponsor it.
Because "Guys and Dolls",
is now a town production, the
cast can use the gym at the
school and Miss McKenzie is
allowed to direct. Mrs. Hearn
is directing the music; Mrs.
Zablocki is choreographing
the dance numbers; Miss Pat
Senn is making costumes and
Mr. Ron Walker is designing
and building sets.
The cast would like to thank
the Lions Clug for coming to
the rescue, and the office at
the school for their. co-
operation.

It is spring cleanup time
and students at Clinton Public
School (CPS) are going to

music classes.
Student Teacher
Miss Lisa Ritchie is a
student teacher at CPS and
will be teaching there for
three weeks. This is not her
first student teaching job as

Varna UCW hear about Africa
By Mary Chessell
Members and guests of
Varna UCW were treated to a
very interesting and in-
formative talk on
Afghanistan at their meeting
on Thursday evening.
Gordon Erb and his wife
Mabel jetted halfway around
the world to visit their
daughter Carol, who is a
secretary at the hospital in
Kabul. Because Carol is in
her third three-year term
there, and has friends among
the local people, they were
able to converse with some of
the Afghanistanis.
Gordon showed pictures of
the city, which had some very
modern and beautiful areas,
with flowers blooming
profusely. In other areas
there were open drainage
ditches which contained
sewage.
if you have the opportunity
to hear Mr. Erb, you will
learn much more about the
area they visited than can be
touched on here.
Margaret Hayter led the
worship, services using a
service written by Nellie
McClung, who campaigned in
Western Canada for Women's
voting rights. Other members
on the committee were Mona
Stephenson, Barbara Consitt
and Sharon Chuter.
The president reminded
those present of the Dessert
Euchre and bake sale coming
up on Wednesday, April 19 at
1:00 p.m. On the evening of
the same day, Goshen UCW
has invited us to attend their
meeting to hear Mrs.
Visscher speak on personal
health. The Presbyterial
spring executive meeting is in
Milverton on Tuesday April
18 at 7 p.m. We are invited to
the Spring Thank -offering
meeting at Ontario Street
Church in Clinton on Sunday,
April 30 at 8 p.m. Mrs. Anson
Moorehouse is the speaker,
and will show pictures.
The annual plant sale will
be held in May, with anyone
interested in buying plants
Hullett Happenings
Sugar bush tour
On March 29 the grade 3
class and power learning
class travelled by bus to a
maple sugar bush near Ethel.
They studied briefly about the
process of making maple
syrup.
When they arrived at the
bush they toured the sugar
shack and were told about the
tools they used. This trip was
both educational and en-
joyable.
Puppet show
On Tuesday, April 11, the
junior wing classes were
entertained by a puppet show.
The show was about B.P.
road safety.
The students thoroughly
enjoyed the presentation and
now know all about road
safety.

houseleague volleyball
champions were declared.
There were eie.ht tr nic in the

Social notes

days last week. A couple of

came off the horse trailer.
They left for home on Friday.
