The son of George and Chris of Belgrave, Tom is a Grade 8 student at East Wawanosh Public School. Tom brought home a bronze medal from the competition that was held in Mississauga recently. He explained that he started working on his project on the strength of construction woods about two months before it was due for the in -school competition. "The actual work itself took about two and a half weeks, but I had to build the ap- paratus and formulate the experiment. That took the rest of the time," he explained. In his project he tested wood by applying pressure to it and measuring at what poun- dage it broke. Last year, he also advanced to the Canada wide competion with another project on wood, this time on the surface density of wood. He explained that this year's project was a sort of continuation from last year, or another step in testing the wood. For his efforts last year he received an honorable mention and a $100 prize. To advance to the Canada wide competi- tion Tom first showed his project at his school. From there it was on to the Huron County judging before he was picked as a finalist in the junior physical division and given the opportunity to make the trip to the Erifidale Campus of the University of Toronto in Mississauga. In all, the competitors were in the Mississauga area for nine days. "We had a great time, it was terrific. You meet people from all over Canada. You make friends from across Canada, and see how they live," Tom said. At the competition the students had their projects judged for two days, and public viewing took place for two days following. After that tours were held for the pupils to see such sights as the Royal Ontario Museum, the CN Tower and the agricultural museum in Milton. The trip itself was a treat for Tom, so he was very surprised to win the bronze award. "I was really happy to win it. Once you get to Canada -wide, that's the prize, you get to stay for the week. I didn't care if I won, but when I did, I was really happy," he said. He isn't sure whether his future will lie in the sciences or the construction industry, but he said he sees himself dealing more with the life sciences. He added, however, that he might continue on in the construction area, as he likes making things out of wood. For a young man of 14, he seems to have a promising future. He was, in fact, approach- ed while at the university by a represen- tative that wants him to study in the forestry division of the University of Toronto when he graduates from high school. In recognition of Senior Citizens' Month, the Blyth Public School invited many local seniors to their school on June 4. Part of the activities was having the students read their books to the visitors. Here, Carrie Ansley (centre), reads her book to Vera Badley (left) and Marion Wright.
