Polk dancing can be a lot of fun if you try hard and keep your feet out of the other person's road. Most of the -students like it very well and hope it will continue for gym classes to come. Some dances, they are doing are the "Mountain Stamp" and the "Heel and Toes Clap, Clap." You have to keep your ears open and follow the beat.

The Royal Canadian Legion visited us for our Remembrance Day Assem- bly. Room 14 showed the students from grades 5 to 8 a film called "Field of Sacrifice". The film was about the fields in which the soldiers from World War 1 and 2 are buried. The film also showed ' some trenches and machinery from the war. The film really ex- pressed the feeling of Remem- , brance Day because of the flowers the children placed on some of the graves. The silence that was in the graveyards made you think of those who gave their lives so we could be free. Poppies were worn to the assembly. The school had two members from the Army Cadets grotip. These boys gave information on hoW to join if you wished to become a The Kindergarten to glide 4 students in the south wing had an assembly put on by Mr. Shaw's room. We were pleased to have. Rev. K.

Much &image was done, such as blown down trees, hydro poles, barns, houses, sheds and garages. The hydro at school was off, caused by this wind storm. The storm gave us a chance to see how bad weather can get, and to imagine the olden times when there was no hydro. Winds of 75 m.p.h. were recorded at Wingham and Mount Forest weather stations. We all hope that we never get another storm like that again. —Ben Schuitema B6'.g"T ve, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hibberd visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Ifibberd and Angela of Mildmay.

The counsellor asked the children if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ,#crivecIftl the integration proceeded . ativA smoothly.
