Sandra was named after a chocolate bar called "Sweet Marie". Her hus- band was Roger Murray and his name was "O'Henry". The child- ren were Laurel Dane as Baby Ruth and Allister Kreller as E'Claire. Nancy Fisher played the Queen of 1earts to whom everyone took their problems. The play was very humorous and enjoyable. I am sure that it was enjoyed by most of the students because after it was over and the curtain was pulled, the students clapped for approximately five minutes. The play was written and directed by Miss Amos. —Tammy Brown WINNERS OF THE CHOCOLATE BAR CONTEST Last Friday, Mr: Cober an- nounced the winners of the choco- late bar selling contest. There were two - eighteen by twelve inch, seven pound chocolate bars for the winners. One bar was given to the room who sold the most one dollar chocolate bars, and one to whoever won the draw. Room 16 won the class chocolate bar, and Valerie Wright won the draw. For the draw the sellers who sold five - one dollar choco- late bars were able to enter one ticket in the draw. Mr. Cober asked a small student. to pick a ticket from the box. He then an- nounced that Valerie Wright had won the,seven pounder. Room 16 shared half of the big chocolate bar with the next highest which was Room 9. The students of Room 16 joked about Valerie win- ning the seven pound chocolate bar. • They said she is quite slim. But I heard she was going to save it for her birthday. party. Marlin Good FROM SIDE -LINED BASKETBALL TO FLOOR HOCKEY We have been, for the last two months playing. Side -lined Basketball in our House League prdgram. The restilts are: Red - came in first with ' ? wins 1 loss. Then Blue with 4 wins, 4 losses, Green 3 wins, 4 losses, and Orange 1 win, 6 losses. On February 17, 1975, the Floor hockey season began. Floor hockey _can be played in two ways; with plastic hockey sticks ' or hitting it with your fist. We prefer using, our fists. There are six players on each team (one in goal), they start the game off with a face-off in the middle , of the gym, fouls may be called for (i) getting too rough with a player from the opposite team (ii) kicking the ball (iii) or pick- ing the ball up. A foul shot is taken by one person from 5 to 6 yards away from the net. This game is played much the same as ice -hockey. I think all the students are lo8k- ing forward to the change from Side -lined Basketball to Floor Hockey. —Donna Forler NANCY VERSTEEG and Margaret Borg do a fine job on "He ven Came Down" at Howick Central's music show. - Thurday night. Howick Lions listen to stories about Unidentified flying objects and dairy cows caught the fancy of Howick Lions' Club members Monday night, Feb. 17. Two Howick Central School students took the top awards at the public speaking contest geld in Fordwich, beating out five other finalists. MaryBeth Sanderson, grade 8, speaking about UFOs won the intermediate trophy while Regan Dettman, grade 5, took the junior award for his speech about dairy cows. MaryBeth,...in.her speech, said that some people believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects while others do not. Some think it's just plain ridiculous while others chalk it up to optical • illusions, she said.' ' A study is being conducted,. MaryBeth added, that speculates that when the CN tower is com- pleted, more UFOs will be spotted in this part of Ontario since the towers will interfere with the electro -magnetic energy field. She concluded by saying that we know Earth is not the only jlanet and it is possible that there are other beings with more ad- vanced forms of transportation at their disposal. Regan, in his speech about dairy cows, said that many city UFOs, cows dwellers don't have the slightest idea where their milk comes from.- Some probably think it just comes from` the Becker's -Store, he said. He described some of the modern techniques used in the production of today's milk. Judges who picked the. seven finalists were Wayne and Linda Douglas of Wroxeter and Hugh Sinnamon of Wingham, a teacher at .Turnberry Central School. Lions' selection of winners was left up to Tom O'Krafka of Wroxeter, Ann Gibson of Wrox- eter, a teacher in Wingham, and Rudy. Hooftman, a • Turnberry Central School teacher.
