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 L & A SOUTHWEST SATELLITE Sales And Service OCTOBER Satellite System Special 10' Fiberglass Dish 5 Year Warranty Polar mount Uniden 1000 receiver 105 degree LNA Polarotor $2799'0 installed or... $84°0 month for 48 months *Monthly Leasing Available On All Systems •Home Demonstrations Available *Stainless Steel Also Available (10 year warranty) LARRY FISHER 524-9595 `CALL DAY OR NIGHT* 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.
