HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1980-05-07, Page 10SIGNAI^STAR„ WEPNN81,?AY, MAY 7, 1980 wE e Hing e BY BUM OKE !ue to declining enrolments and changing program needs,, the Huron=Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will close two classrooms effective September 1 and reduce teaching time. The two classrooms to be closed are: one at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School at Mount Cannel and St. Aloysius School, Stratford. The board reduced the Round 'n About with Martha "You must have brought this nice weather with you." How many) made that remark? Well, I'd like to think it was so. Anyway, it has been just great spring weather. I have been very busy trying to get "settled". I have seen a few friends, have called a few and a few have phoned, so I should soon feel at home. I was fortilnate enough to be back in time to catch the last week of Little Theatre's "Miracle Worker-. What a per- formance! I don't know when I have seen anything to equal it on ' any stage at any time. As with everyone in the hall, I was very attentive you could have heard a pin drop had someone dropped one - and I was very moved, emotionally, by the star performers. I attended the party after the final curtain and the first thing I said to Debbie Shaddick' was "Let me see your arms". I just knew they had to be bruised in many- places and they were - ' what a fine performance Debbie — a 'lovely little actress. I , --just hope they heal quickly. And Colleen Maguire who gave such an eye- opening insight to "Annie Sullivan" really - con- vinced everyone ° that Helen Keller was not the only one to suffer. Funny, I choke up just thinking about it!! Colleen really had her whole heart in this story. Sh°e had read everything she could find on the Keller story and Annie Sullivan had reams of actors are they have to have good back stage workers. A lot of thought had to go into just the construction of the set, alone decorating it getting the whole "home" together and keeping it together for seven nights. Then the lighting. Just think what it would have been if they had not used the right "spots" at the right moment besides the many things that could go wrong "upstairs". Luckily, the makeup girls did ndt have to worry about a beard for Ken Lambert; he likes to grow his own, and "Annie's voices" from the past were very ef- fective too. As I have said before it takes a lot of dedicated people to create a suc- cessful night of theatre from someone's book and once again the Little Theatre Group has shown they, appreciated and deserved the 'great support of their patrons and business people. The party, after the final performance, was also a great success. Held in the Downstairs Room of the Candlelight the tables of beautiful food were, ,a:welcome sight to most everyone and one could see that everyone enjoyed it. For many, many years, Frank Bissett has been a great supporter, helper, actor and . `'chief piano player for the windup parties" with Goderich Little Theatre. After years and years of stap,ding at his job, Frank's legs have finally let him down, but with a in for m-ation-on-,hei.E4if e- __A i.tt i.e--assistance w -hen -_it this great undertaking also, so it was Colleen's dream come true when she could make her audience feel these two great stories, . bringing the whole thing back to life. .• Philip McMillan. who directed the play helped these dedicated per- formers give their best. With two great leads, and great support, this has to be the best of many years , on this stage. No matter how good the came time to gather around the piano, Frank was right there to play all .the songs everyone en- joyed singing and he has played for a lot of really great voices. At some parties the singing is greater than at others, but this one had the added support of two guitars with the players who could recall the words to the songs and a thumpity- thump bass viola that was the makings of the sing -along. .

Two principals will trade schools -- Leo Turner of Holy Name of Martha Rathburn from the oldest to the youngest of the play performers enjoyed it and I'm sure the young people must have been happily surprised to see such a nice grown-ups' party. I have also attended another party since I've come home. Beta Sigma Phi Sorority with their three groups from Goderich, one group from Clinton and one from Mitchell were in Kin- cardine last week when the Kincardine group hosted the Founder's Day Dinner when a large group of pledges became Sorority sisters. This is always a beautiful ritual that impresses the initiate for the rest of her life. The Kincardine girls were excellent hostesses and the evening was a great success. The next big item for the Goderich groups will be the 'May Ball this Saturday, May 10, 1980 at the Arena. The orchestra is the "Swinging Brass" again and what a great group itis !

La Leche league discuss family and Childbirth The La Lache League in Huron' South held its meeting last month at the home of Mary Beuermari; Seaforth. Twelve people were present from Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth. The leader, Mrs. Peter Bisback of Hensall, led the discussion which dealt with the family and the breast-fed baby and childbirth. Many women undergo a ' Caesarian section delivery regain their feeling of confidence when they know they are fully able to nurse their infants despite the fact that they have had a difficult birthing ex- perience. It was pointed, 'out that breast feeding is one of the easiest ways to care for a baby, especially following surgery when a mother must conserve energy. -Concern was expressed over contaminants and how they affect breast feeding mother and baby exposed like everyone else to the pollutants in the environment. Some appear in small quan- tities in human milk. Because it points up the problem dramatically ("even the best, purest food for infants is af- fected"). This fact has been emphasized. Some have concluded the solution k to discontinue breast feeding. This conclusion is un- warranted. A baby taken off the breast is not necessarily protected against the pollution which affects us all- On the contrary, the small amount of contaminants have produced no demonstrable effects in breast feeding babies, whole all the known benefits of breast feeding continue to be operative. May's meeting will be held in Seaforth again at the same address in the afternoon of May„•14tth at 1:30 p.m. Any woman is welcome to attend a meeting or borrow books from the local league library for a period of a month. .os buy finefiu rt gotw�mo�taste than - money. , The fine furniture you've been dreaming of.
