Camp Sylvan, Report
The grade 8 visit to Camp Sylvan was a
very worthwhile trip.
Before going to the camp itself we stopped
at the Lambton County Museum. There we.
experienced rope -making, shingle -making
and wool -spinning.
After that we were off to our home for two
days. We had lunch and then took part in an
orienteering activity, followed by time-out
with the Junior Leaders to play such games
as Amoeba and Flags.`
Dinner was served at 5 p.m. After dinner
we played the Survival Game until dark
when we heard a lecture on astronomy. We
also had a campfire and a snack.
Our sleeping quarters were old-fashioned
pioneer chuck wagons. There we slept, to
wake up next morning, to learn about
communities in the forest. •
After that we were off to Rock Glen to do
some fossil hunting. I liked that experience.
All students pitched in to help and learned
to co-operate and "get back to
nature".—Wendy Snelgrove, 8K.
The Soccer Story
It was raining when the game started.
Clinton scored. Our goalie jumped for the
ball but missed. (Later) they won 5 - 0. Then
we played H.C.S. We played well but they
played better. My mom said, we've got to
score one against Hullet. Our coach said if
we score we can have Sunday off school. 40
seconds left in the game and a penalty shot.
I take it. We score. We get Sunday off of
school. I went home with my mom and dad.
The next day Mr. Laurie gave me a cer-
tificate. I was proud of myself.—Steve Pap-
ple, 5B

Junior Girls Game
Well it all started on a cloudy September
day that the junior tournament was held at
H.C.S. Girls and boys aged 9 to 12 came to
compete. They came from Clinton, Hullet,
Blyth, Vanastra and Seaforth. First the-,
Centennial team (that's us) played against
the Seaforth team. We did really well in the
first half, getting 2 goals. We won by 3 goals.
The score was 3 - 0. Krisie got the goals in
the game. The next team was Vanastra.
They were a lot harder, but thanks to
Heather we got a goal.
The goalie missed the ball and then
Heather tapped it in for the only goal. So we
won again. The next team was Blyth, a lot
harder than we figured but thanks to
Heather we won again. Meanwhile our
coach Mr. Beatie was dancing around with
his hands in Kate's coat. Jody our goalie
stopped every shot but she was bored to
death just standing there freezing in the
rain. The boys had won two and tied one.
The scores for them were 1-1, 5 - 0 and 3 - 0.
The fun ended when it was home time again.
But one thing I never forget is how much fun
we all had.—Pam Carter, Gr. 5B.
The Soccer Tournament
When we went out to play against the
Seaforth team, it was raining and freezing
outside. Everybody's legs were shaking like
belly. The game started. Seaforth had first
all and then Seaforth's centre kicked the
ball and missed the ball and landed on his
bum. Everybody started to laugh so the guy
got up and kicked me. I got so mad that I
started to call him cherry picker, ( watch out
for the cherry picker.) After awhile we'd
scored a goal. We were very happy with
ourselves. The first half was almost ever.
And after 2 minutes the referee said, "half
time".
Mr. Laurie want to talk to us. He said "We
were crowding too much". Then he told Ben,
Wade and I to stay on the side line. I didn't
want to but I had to stayed in. The second
half began. Everybody was tired. One of
Seaforth's guys had a break away then he
took a shot and it bounced off of Wayne's big
chest. Then it bounded to a Seaforth guys so
he took a shot and scored. It was seconds
away from the end. Everybody tried to
scored but couldn't. Then the whistle blew.
The game was over. So everybody shook
hands it was tied 1 1. The End.—Phuse
Luang, 5B.
