Vince Young of Doderich said
he was "disappointed and
shocked" at what he learned at a
session for separate school repre-
sentatives to public school
boards. 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

Mr. Young said he'd like to see
more communication and "dove -

but "we're not trio fatnifar vent i

can we expect them to be famili-

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-

It is not now mandatory that

MUSIC NIGHT
AT WINGHAM
What is a "Gaudeamus"? 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Howick Central School are glad
to welcome a new teacher to the

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.
