Some Answered
* Questions *
What Role Do Children Play
In The Future Of Mankind?
Baha'i writings say every child is
potentially the light of the world and
fat the same time its darkness.
With Education A Child Can
Achieve All Excellence
A child who conducts himself well
even though ignorant of book lear-
ning is of benefit to others while a
child who is ill natured, ill behaved
is harmful to others even if he be
learned.
If however the child is trained to be
both educated and good natured the
result is light upon light.

MR. ELMER FREY of Clinton, died on Thurs-
day, April 10, 1986. Funeral service was held
on Sunday, April 13, '1986.
CLINTON - Students and Staff of Clinton
and District Christian school have recently
been busy with a Fine Arts Festival. This
festival of song and arts presentations was
held in London on April 4.
Sixty-four students participated during
day and evening performances. Competi-
tions were held with students from the other
schools of the Christian School District,
namely Woodstock, London, Strathroy,
Aylmer, and St. Thomas. Judges for the
events ace chosen from these communities.
Judges from this. area included: Mary
Hearn (Vocal • solos), Louise MacGregor
(duets and trios), Fran Jongejan (choral•
speaking), Connie Bos (piano solo), and
Rev. Gilbert. Kidd (instrumental music).
An evening concert of specially chosen
performances and choirs from each school
was held at Royal View Pentecostal Church.
The Clinton students performed very well.
Superior rating was given to Jayne
Dykstra - Grade 4 - poetry recitation; Janna
Bos - Grade 4 - poetry recitation; Jennifer
Henshaw - Grade 3 - vocal solo; Jessica De-
Jonge - Grade 2 - vocal solo; and the Drama
club for their presentation of Cinder -Riley.
Some students would share their thoughts as
follows:
"I had a super day. I especially liked do-
ing the play in which I was the princess,"
It was a great day for my family because
when my sister and I were all done, we did
some shopping and went to MacDonald's for
supper. Mmmm- it was good. At the evening
concert, I played my piano solo on a grand
piano. The show was very enjoyable to me.
Then it was time to go. It was 11 p.m.; I was
very sleepy," said Tricia Bos, Grade 5.
"The F.A.F. was really fun. We left for
London at 8 a.m., and had an assembly at 10
a.m. After that, students went to wherever
their event was held in rooms of the London
Parental School or church. I was in drama
and choral speaking. Then, I had the whole
day free to watch competitions or spend
time in the films or games rooms. At 4 p.m.,
all students needing to stay over went roller-
skating at Wheels and on to supper. We
rushed back to change for the evening con-
cert. The whole day was great fun!" said
Sandra Vander Wal, Grade 7.
