HURON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Auburn As It Was, was the name of the presentation of slides and commentary at the April meeting of the Huron County Historical Society when it met in the Auburn Community Memorial Hall as the guests of the Auburn Women's Institute last Thursday evening. The President of the W.I., Mrs. Eleanor Bradnock welcomed everyone and Mrs. Thomas Haggitt, curator of the Auburn Women's Institute Tweedsmuir History book introduced the panel: Mrs. Oliver Anderson, projectionist in charge of the slides, Mrs. Tom Jardin, Mrs. Frances Clark and Mrs. Eleanor Bradnock. The slides were of former businesses, including im- plement shops, cooper shops, a brewery, carriage shops, blacksmith shops, butcher shop and general stores and post offices. The slides were made by William Anderson who took them off old pic- tures. He did an excellent job. Mrs. Greg Park sang a solo, Maggie, Maggie which had been sung by her grand - m -other. She was ac- companied by Mrs. Kenneth McDougall. 'Mouthorgan selections were played by Ross Robinson accompanied by Mrs. Donald Haines. Harry Worsell of Goderich, president of H.urdn County Historical Society, took charge of the business. Mrs. Mervyn Batkin of Clinton, secretary, read the minutes. Several items of business were discussed and the next meeting will be on May 9 at DENIM BY DAVID SAINT -JEAN What's Happening at G:D.C.I.: Tomorrow; of course, is the formal. With the ad- vantages of the formal (better school spirit, etc.) itis easy,to miss some of the shortcomings'of the eVeht in the euphoria of the moment. What I'm trying to say is that the formal has become awfully staid. The time has come to change the formal, discarding outmoded, inadequate ideas and replacing thein with some with x • modern flair and fresh ex eitement. One of the things we should look at is the election of the school queen. In a time of 2'increasing liberation for ._ women, can we afford to let a girl be elected almost purely on looks? Surely it is impossible to think that all the kids who will vote for school queen know the five girls wellenough to make a choice based on anything other than looks and, although all the nominees are beautiful people, physically and otherwise, surely more in- formation could be made available to the voters. Perhaps a shd'rt speech by each of the girls would elevate the level of the contest above that of a meat -market, And how about having a school king? This would help the elections lose some of their blatantly sexist over- tones. But now I'm sounding like a women's libber and I don't even have a bra to burn. These are just suggestions; think about them if you agree, talk to your student council rep and maybe we can get a few changes made. But on to other stuff. Other Stuff: Hear the latest? Perth County board is thinking of locking out its teachers. Since we've already been through this and we know what it's like, I thought I should perhaps warn our° fellow prisoners ... er ... students what to expect. -So I've come up with this small literary masterpiece for them to comfort them and assure them that they are' not alone. It happened in Huron, Will it happen in Perth? With disputes like these what's learning worth? Will it be another lock -out? Will it be another strike? Whatever.,it is, the students won't like. Will we lose only a month:? Will we lose a whole year? Whatever we lose there won't be a cheer. 'Cause the board's O.K. The teachers seem alright,, How come it's the pupils, who get hutt in these fights? 'Good luck to all the -Perth students ... you'll need it. That's all for this week. Catch ya next Thursday.
