They wore cos - es Of every material, colour, ,and size. Some of the teachers even dressed up with them. They came after the noon hour, and paraded through all the class- rooms. To be equally friendly, some Grade 8 students decided to return the visit. Consequently, just before the end of the day, 6 large bunny rabbits bunnyhopped their way through the primary classrooms. No one seems to` know for sure who they were, but we have our suspicions. —Ben Schuitema Greaser Day On October 31st, Howick Cen- tral School had a Greaser Day. On this day all Grade 5 to 8 stu- dents were expected to dress like they did in the 50's. The boys would grease. their hair back and wear 'straight pants. The girls would have ponytails and wear dresses and bobby socks. This day was sponsored by the Stu- dents' Council which offered a prize to the classroom with the highest percentage of students in attire depicting the 1950's. Mrs. Hooftman's dass won an ice- cream treat because they had 100 per cent of the people taking part. —Ben Schuitema Fire Drill Yesterday, November 30 we had a fire drill around 3 o'cf Our class was out avipgl t ball game when this hapd. The monitors of our roomeient running to check the windou►d and washrooms. The school dared in a short time. This is the last one for the term so if there'ean- other one before ne term then it will be a real one. Iris very im- portant that students leave in an orderly fashion or someone could get hurt. These drills are all sur- prises except the one at the first, of the year. Many students jump when the bell starts ringing. We are sure if there was real fire we would be ready. ' —Marlin Good Nutrition Week . ,Today Marnie Davidson, who works as a nutritionist in Toronto for thertment of. Health was tr * ; iacci �`'i'his a"'tt ' first areyiii'ed'a nuttiolhveek in Ontario. Miss Davidson was ;-here .to show us what foods are nutritious. For instance milk and milk products, peanut butter, vegetables, meats and bread are very good foods. She showed us a film entitled "Snacking, Garbage in Your Gut". Did you know that around 511a million • dollars are spent on potato chips and choico- late bars each year in North America? The Correct foods are important and help us feel better. What you eat does not necessarily cause the skin pro$ .ems expet f- enced by teenagers. We want to thank Marnie Davidson for her very interesting presentation —Marlin Good Examinations , Starting on Friday. Novf*nber 7th, 1975, the grade: 7- and 8r dents write their examinations. The first term examinations help the students to expect what is on the examinations of other terms. If the students get down to work and study they should pass. May- be if they listen closely enough to Mr. Robertson when he visits each grade 4 to 8 classroom in the next few days to discuss points about studying, they will learn a study method which will be useful to them. So good luck to exam writers. --Patricia Burbidge Soccer Between Staff and Students At 11:55 on Monday, November 3rd, the staff team, challenged 10 boys and 10 girls to a soccer game. The pace was fast and furious with Steven Espenson getting the first goal for the stu- dents which_ was set up by Davidl Burns and Kim Sanborn. About half way through the game the teachers scored, I did not see who scored or set the goal up. The final score of the game was 1-1. The next game will be a volley- ball in the near future. We no- ticed Mr. Stretton on the teach- ers' team limping the next day. We hope he feels better soon. —Marlin Good Postal Strike The postal strike that is taking place in Canada is a problem for students at Howick Central School because the books ordered through the book club will not come for a while. There was approxir6ately $18.00 worth of books ordered by Gr. 7 and 8 stu- dents. They will have to wait like the rest of Canada and read something else in the meantime. —Ben Schuitema. Presentation By Mr. Robertson Last year when a questionnaire sheet went home to parents the main problem mentioned was that students didn't know how to study. So, Mr. Robertson is giving each classroom a Presen- tation on "flow to Study'. This week he is visiting the grades 7 and 8 Classes. Next week he will be visiting the rest of the school. We hope that many .students will .profit from these presentations. —Marlin Good Remembrance Day • Holiday On November llth, the stu- dents of Howick Central will have a holiday because of Remem- brance Day.

We novo have new laws for motorized snow vehicles, usually known as snowmobiles. All snowmobiles must be registered with Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications. (If previously registered. they must be re -registered.) Registration is free. Also. people who operate snowmobiles off their own property must now have a permit to do so. The fee for the annual permit is $10.00. (The only exceptions are in certain designated areas of remote north- western Ontario.) Actually. complying with the new reg- ulations is easy. You can re -register a previously -registered snowmobile -- and obtain your annual permit -- at any Ministry of Transportation and Communications license -issuing office in Ontario (where you get your automobile license) If you buy a new snowmobile, the dealer must register it onSrour behalf within six days of the sale. it)/ The number of your Registration Cer- tif'ate must be attached to, or painted on, bt. sides of your snowmobile's hood in numbers 2" to 3" high, and must contrast with your snowmobile's colour to be easily seen. Your permit will be affixed to your Registration Certificate and you will be given two adhesive stickers to affix to your snowmobile's hood according to directions. That's all there is to it. Do not drive your snowmobile anywhere (except on your own property) unless it has been registered and you havepa permit. Make certain that you know and observe all operating rules and safety regulations for snowmobiles and be sure to check local by-laws in the municipality where you use your snowmobile.
