Students go "hog wild"
BY PAUL HARTMAN
Here's a tail with a twist.
Though national Pig Day in the U.S. is of-
ficially March 1, Victoria Public School
students celebrated the momentous date
some two rrlonths later.
Tuesday, May 6, was Pig Day at Victoria
and the School's 400 student marked the
event with activities ranging from painting
to puppet shows to cooking,
In all, there were 24 different activities,
each relating in some way to that common
barnyard animal, the pig. Groups of approx-
imately 15 students each, took part in three
of the sessions.
Response seemed quite positive to the
event: Students and staff enjoyed telling pig
jokes, learning sign language related to
pigs, singing pig songs and the like.
But as teacher and co-ordinater of the oc-
casion, Doug Yeo explained, Pig Day was
not just for fun.
Mr. Yeo noted that the day was designed
to provide students with exposure to various
classrooms, teachers and other students. As
well, students were provided with the oppor-
tunity to interact with students of other age
levels and to assist them in a learning
environment.
Perhaps most importantly, the day gave
students the chance to think more
creatively.
Mr. Yeo remarked that this was the first
time that all the students of Victoria were
involved in the same learning program
while being spread throuh-out the school.
A final purpose of Pig Day may have been
overlooked in' all the excitement:. it gave
students the opportunity to learn about and
understand an often misunderstood animal,
the pig. ?ou might say it gave them the
chance to see through all the hog -wash.
Film, "Eat, Drink and be Wary"
says food is harmful to health
The May . meeting of the Dungannon
Women's Institute was held at the home of
Winnifred Girvin in Goderich.
Our president Elmira Finn igan was ill so,
our first vice-president Mary Robson
presided.
The roll call - The way our ancestors
predicted the weather without T.V. or radio
provided many good answers. There were
seventeen members and two visitors.
Minutes and treasurer's report were given
by Alma Black.
Ila Crozier gave a full report of the
District Executive meeting held in
Londesboro. The District Annual will be
held the last Monday' in May in Belgrave
hall. Guest speaker will be Mrs. Leona Arm-
strong - Warden of Huron County. Delegates.
will be Elmira Finnigan, Ila Crozier and
Roberta Linskill. Members were reminded
to take something for the craft table.
. Mrs. Jean Errington gave a good report
on the recent workshop held in Londesboro
•
sponsored by Huron West District, a quiz
and a good , discussion followed with
everyone taking part. '
An invitation was received from Belgrave
Women's Institute on May 20th at 7 p.m.
when they will observe their 75th
anniversary.
11trs. Willetta McWhinney showed a film
on "Eat, Drink and be Wary" showing faults
in many of the foods on the market today
that are really harmful to our health such as
added colour and many preservatives.
We would be much better to make our own
bread with whole wheat flour and grow our
own vegetables and eat lots of fresh fruit.
She was thanked by Winnifred Girvin and
presented with a gift.
The meeting closed with '0 Canada' and
the Institute Grace. The hostesses Beth
Rutledge and Winnifred Girvin served a
delicious lunch, and a social time was en-
joyed by all present.
