The majority felt there was no communication or co- operation with the separate school boards in their areas, be said. Many don't even get the minutes from the separate board meetings, he said. It its the policy, of the HPRCSS board to send minutes to their representatives on the Huron and Perth public boards, but trusteedht that the practice had la Mr. Young said he'd like to see more communication and "dove - Wiling" with the representatives but "we're not trio fatnifar vent i programs in our schools. How can we expect them to be famili- ar with both schools?". Trustee Don Crowley, who at- tended a session on special edu- cation at the convention, saidathe local board's special ed program is very good compared with what some other boards are doing. "Bigger boards than ours are hir- ing special education services troll) the public boards," he said. It is not now mandatory that boards provide special ed ser- vices.

I don't know! Perhaps it's just plain nonsense; However, per- haps if -you want to know you can attend the Music night, April 29th at Wingham High School. There will be ten schools participating and featuring numbers from each school and...a.. mass choir of ap- prox. 400 voices as a grand finale. These'4O0 people are going to be directed by one person. I hope you canattend this music nightat Wingham. It will be lots of fun to see and do! Donna Former o—o--o PREPARATIONS FOR THE SPRING CONCERT On Friday April 18th; there will be a dress rehearsal for the par- ticipants of the Spring Concert only ! . The directors hope to be started by 9:15 a.m. On Tuesday April 22nd at 12:45 we will be holding a dress rehearsal for the entire school. Preparations for this event started months ago. Mr. Carter's room will, be the stage crew, and set up and re- move props. The choirs, ukulele band and many of the other class- rooms -in the school are involved. As 'usual with all of this prepar- ation we are 'hoping for a large turnout on Spring Concert Night. Michael Disley o—o--o FLOOR HOCKEY Here at Howick Central School, students are going to play Floor Hoc1 ey. This is not played on ice. It is played by using your hand to move the ball. The way to score is to &wing your arm like a golf club, hitting the ball with your fist.'If the ball goes in the net you have scored. You could go bare feet or use running shoes. Ben Schuitema o—o--o ARENA SPORTS OVER Skating and curling at the Community Center has finally come to an end for the students at Howick Central. Much fun was had while the students had these periods of skating. Every Tues- day there was a curling game for the Grade 7 and 8 students that paid the fee at the beginning of the ice period and I am sure that this was also enjoyable. I- would like to thank the Howick Com- munity Center board for allowing us the ate of the Community Cen- ter. Tammy Brown o--o--o EXAMINATIONS Examination time is coming up on June 9th -13th. The teachers give the Grade 7 and 8 students a formai eilamination in Math, English, and one other subject of their choice. They decided to have them in June instead of May because some students think that after examination time that's the end of the year. nen they either skip school or don't work hard: This can cause them to receive low marks or fail. The Math exan ination is two periods long and covers'everything from the start of the school' -year till) examination time. I thin the other two are to be two periods long also. I believe that everyone will have to study very hard- in order to pass each examination. Marlin Good o—o—o NEW TEACHER The students and teachers of Howick Central School are glad to welcome a new teacher to the staff. His name is Mr. Shaw, and we hope he will have a pleasant stay here. Mr. Shaw is replacing Mrs. Stirling who has now retired in favour of home and family interests. We wish her the best of luck and we hope Mr. Shaw will Stay as long as he wishes.
