Ecole Ste Marie School, St.
Boniface School, Zurich, Early
Childhood Education Students
from Lambton College, Sarnia,
and the Grade 7 and 8 Square
Dance Pupils from Ecole Ste
Marie School, hopefully' will
pass their acquired skills of
dancing onto the classroom
children.
Instructors for this course in-
cluded Mr. J. B. McCarroll,
Physical Education Consultant,
Miss P. Rowe, Physical
Education Department, South
Huron District High ` School,
and Mrs. V. Zyluk, Precious
Blood School, Exeter.
The program started with
John McCarroll introducing
the teachers to the well known
marching pieces so that Kin -
dergarten children can be fully
aware of their body skills, space
available to them; and their
relationship with fellow
students. The teachers used
their arms, legs, and various
other parts of their body to
show their feelings to the mar-
ching music stimulus.
Later they joined in a more
formal dance of the "Alley
Cat", where they learned

when she worked as
nt Director of Nursing
in the Peel County Health Unit.
She also spent one year in
family planning and venereal
disease education in a London
"Free ° CTiiic". Her husband,'
Gurmel Singh, is about to
graduate from Western Univer-
sity in London as an Electrical
Engineer. They are now living
tin Goderich on Waterloo
Street.
It was kind of an odd circum-
stance which prompted Mrs.
Thind to apply for this position.
While she was at a nursing con -
ference in Toronto, she found
out by talking to a couple of
nurses from the Huron County
Unit that they did not have a
supervisor and that Dr. Frank
Mills the Medical Officer had
been looking for one for a
couple of months. After
thinking it over she finally
decided to apply.
Although she has been here
only a short time, she sees the
Huron County Health Unit as
being very progressive. Mrs.
Thind is very anxious to find
out if the services provided 'by
the unit are reaching the people
as effectively as they should be.
She believes that a portab`e
clinic may be more advan-
tageous towards serving the
needs of the rural people to a
greater extent. Her impressions
of Goderich are most
favourable. Although she has
been quite busy getting settled,
she says Cie people have been
most friendly and considerate.

working here," she said.

music. Then they were
organized into groups of four to
plan a variation of combined
movements suggested within
their groups. They, like the
children, were given the oppor-
tunity to create their own dif-
ferent patterns of steps and
body movements.
Mrs. V. Zyluk taught the at-
tending teachers the step to the
"Virginia Reel". Then Miss P.
Rowe demonstrated the
popular Folk Dances "The
Crested Hen" and "The Ten-
nessee Wig Walk".
Before starting the square
dance, Mr. McCarroll taught
the English Folk Dance
"Greensleeves"
In conc/lu�ilbrn, the, sg4(,at— /)/
dance pupilsv from Ecole Ste
Marie School did two historical
Huron County Folk Dances. Af-
ter this demonstration, the
audience joined in with this
,lively group.
Nearly 50 teachers, students,
and spectators, took part in this
opening workshpp at St.
Boniface School, Zurich. They
left the Workshop with
materials to help their class un-
derstand "To Dance Is To
Live."
