The number of projects and project completions also increased in 1974. The 4-H Club leaders also dis- cussed the pre -4-H program, judging competitions,. organiza- tional ..meetings, youth council projects and new clubs. PICTURES IN THE IIALL Last week Mr. Livermore was assigned the job of arrangi g the bulletin board on the north wing of the school. He has titled it "Re - Member The Year 1971-1072?"1Ie h posted pictures of the carni- vals -at Kurtsville and Fordwich. Also he has the Volley Ball "A" Champs at the Goderich Totem ment. Mr. Livermore has pic- tures up of the staff, Howick Fall Fair, Public Speaking Contest winners, and many other events. This is very effective, for many students stop to look at them. Some students want to see what they looked like a couple of years ago. Others are interested in just looking at the pictures. I believe many students approve of having pictures like this posted. Marlin Good CANADIAN TEST OF BASIC SKILLS About this time of year, stu- dents seem to be writing tests or filling in blanks as we are work- ing on the Canadian Test of Basic Skills This is not as simple as it sounds. These tests are presented to every student from Grade 3 to 8. The tests include such areas as spelling, vocabulary, language usage, punctuation, capitaliza- tion, reading, map reading, math and others. This test of basic skillsindicates to you your grade standing in these basic concepts and subject areas and shows the amount of year-to-year progress in each area. Donna,Forler Gary Douglas CURLING The grade seven and eight stu- dents of l4owick Central School are lucky enough to have the privilege of curling after school on Tuesday nights. There are ap- proximately 41 students parti- cipating in this sport. Each per- son was asked to pay $3.00 to help pay for the ice. I feel this is a worthwhile sportbecause it is full of excitment and skill. Gary Douglas KINDERGARTEN PHOTOS Some of our students have been very disappointed at the news that has just been received.

All of the teams were dressed In their school color's which was very' effective. Mr. Livermore and Miss Amos were present and all the games were extremely exciting. I think all the teams put forth a great team spirit. I think the most ex- citing game was the last. We were all nervous to see whether cur tezuns or winghattes tem would win the Trophy, I think th the boys' team and the girls' team tried their hardest, as you can tell by the two trophies we brought home with us. As a member of the Girls' Vol- leyball team I would like to thank Mr. Livermore and Miss Amos for aving us the privilege of at - ten 'ng the tournament. Donna Forler MUSIC NIGHT Doh, ray,, tree. Ah yes! The sounds of Mr. and Mrs. Parsons' electives and choirs are at it again. All of the time, at School, the sounds of -the choir practices ring through the halls. The first Gazette of the year had a cal- endar. The date on the calendar said February 11. This date has been changed to February 20. All at the school are waiting for a great turnout. This is the Second Annual Music Night. Come on everybody lets go to the music night! Ir Michael Disley CERAMICS ELECTIVE For this article I have asked Mr. Cober for details about the Ceramics Elective. The clay is imported from California. Local clay is not suitable. The clay is pre -mixed and ready for use. Clay must be wedged first to re- move air bubbles, this means to throw it down on the desk several times. The clay must be worked very quickly before it dries out. Hot hands will dry out clay fast- er. PINCH POTS For pinch pots you roll the clay into a ball. Then you push your thumb into .the centre, and pinch into desired shape and form. Then the article is allowed to dry for a week because it must dry slowly. This is called greenware be- cause its not fired in the kiln.

Oy us, ing a dull knife and water smooth sides, then complete coils. Also add the handles. Then let this dry for a week. This is called green - ware at this stage. When this work of art is completed the greenware is ready to "fire" in the kiln at 2200 degrees F. for five and one-half hours. It remains in the kiln to cool. Three layers of glaze are added. Then it is placed back into the kiln and baked again. When cooled, this is the finished product.
