Question: What is cold at
one end, warm at the other
and hot in between?
Answer: The school!
Actually, Maud has heard it
from a semi -reliable source
that the boilers are well on
their way to working again
and will be seeing action
soon.
It was a nice way to start a
long weekend having a
'short' Thursday to• watch
our girls play basketball.
(Wishes for a speedy,
recovery go out to Wilma
V!! ) I hope you all enjoyed
your clay off last Friday and
spent it 'wisely'.
That's it for this week,
folks, but stay tuned 'cause
next week Ms. Marvelous
has got a surprise for you.
Oh, before I go ... Happy
Birthday to Kim McClory,
Linda Hamilton and a cer-
tain self-improvement
teacher who turned twenty-
nine and holding!
Have a hilarious Hallo-
we'en and stay marvelous.
—Maude
P.S. Who was the masked
man?
HALLOWE'EN
The cacklin sound
of witches is found
filling the autumn air.
Ghostly goblins dressed to
prowl,
Midnight werewolves love to
howl.
If you walk alone take care
Listen softly to hear a sound
a creep -crawly could be
found
hiding behind closed doors.
If you're always awaking
And knees forever, shaking,
Beware . .
Hallowe'en just begun!

Creative
writing club
The first meeting of the
creative writing club was
attended by five members.
Many ideas and opinions
were expressed for things to
do this year. We decided to
hold meetings once a week
on Thursday '`,,activity
periods.
The idea of the club is .for
each member to write some-
thing during the week and
bring it to meetings to share
with others. We would like to
have new members attend.

Do you consider yourself to
be a superstitious person?
When a black cat crosses
your path do you worry
about bad luck all day? Or
when you spill salt do you in-
stinctively toss a few grains
over your left shoulder, in
hopes of erasing any doom
that might befall you? Do
you take superstition too
seriously?
I have never believed in
superstitions. I remember
stepping purposely on that
crack that would break my
mother's back. And when I

Kindergarten—made zuc-
chini bread last Wednesday.
Grades 3 and 4—are
working on a Hallowe'en
play. They are going to
present it to the rest of the
school.
Grades 5 and 6—are
working on a geography
computer project and
finishing their family trees.
Grades 7 and 8—are ready
to start practicing volley-
ball. Some of the class
made a dummy called
"Hermit". Others are
making friends for Hermit.

reached home, I could al-
ways conclude with satis-
faction that my mother'g
back was definitely not
broken. And so I continued,
throughout my long child-
hood, to step diligently on
sidewalk cracks.
I -broke a mirror last
month (among a few dozen
glasses) and my luck or lack
of it hasn't changed at all. I
do try at times, to avoid
walking beneath ladders.
Especially if there is a full
can of paint that has a
chance of falling on my
head!
Could superstition ever
become reality? A daily
horoscope might be faith-
fully followed, a broken
mirror and seven years bad
luck might be wept over. But
use common sense, keep
superstitions for Hallowe'en
fun and mystery. Don't con-
fuse folklore with reality.
Happy Hallowe'en!

HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS from North Huron elemen-

recently at the Wingham golf course. Participating
students came from Wingham, Turnberry, East

t "Knitting" their names
was all new to the Grade 3s.
Knitting probably isn't the
right word. They twisted
yarn to make their names
and glued them on con-
struction paper. They found
it quite difficult to form
letters from such material.
They are preparing "for a
Hallowe'en party and
decorating their room in a
frightening theme. They've
been drawing spooky pic-
tures.
F. E. Madill has a number
of new students this year.
One in particular is an ex-
change student from
Quebec. Her name is
Francine Beaupre and she's
from Charlesbourg, Quebec,
which is about ten minutes
from Quebec City. Francine
is staying with Kelly Mc-
Bride, who is from Lucknow.
Francine is enjoying her
stay in Ontario. Although she
hasn't seen much out of
I know area, Francine has
bet. to Niagara Falls,
Toronto and also went to the
plowing match.
The students are friendly
and helpful, but Francine
thinks we aren't as open as
the people in Quebec.
When I asked Francine if
she likes our school she
answered, "Yes, but it is dif-
ferent from my school."
Francine's school has six
classes of 53 minutes a day,
with an hour and half for
lunch. Ten minutes are
allowed between classes,
and Wednesday afternoon is
free time. Students in
Charlesbourg call their in-
formally -dressed teachers
by their first names and can
eat or smoke in the halls.
Francine enjoys .sports and
plays badminton at noon in
the gym.
• She takes Grade 11 French
and finds that she is learning
English vocabulary, which is
what we wanted and enjoys.
Francine does speak English
very well; sheunderstands
and is understood — at least,
until everyone starts talking.
too quickly.
Francine stays for three
months and leaves for
Toronto on Nov. 29. Kelly
will then go to Quebec for,a
three-month stay.
Before she went, Francine
just wanted to say, "Salut
tons le monde". In English it
means, ,"Hi everybody".

markers at the North Huron

recently. Even though it was
cold, they still had a good
time. We have started a
study group. It helps
students learn better study

have their own microscope

Grade 4 has completed all
kinds of interesting Hal-
lowe'en activities. During
the past week they have been
busily writing some ex-
cellent Hallow'en poems and
stories. Some of their work
has been printed into the
computer. The computer is a
real attraction among the
students. Everyone is learn-
ing to use the computer and
can enjoy some challenging
puzzles.
The pupils also have
brought in some leaf collec-
tions, well -mounted and in-
teresting to look at.

children at the school have a
chance to guess how many
seeds are in Clyde.

Miss Buist's classroom has
changed drastically over the
past few days. Everything is
different. It has gone from
apples to a Hallowe'en
theme. I saw something in
the classroom that gave me
a shocker: a tarantula in a
jar, which they are studying
in science.
—Mike Cullen
Do you know Mr. Martin's
class still is working on the
unit "Jobs in the Com-
munity"? They are coming
along well with it. They had.
Russell. Zurbrigg in the
classroom to talk about his
job of painting and wall-
papering. They also had
Mrs. Coughlin, a cook from
the high school, and Mr.
Crothers, the Wingham fire
chief, in so the class could
interview them.
The students also go out to
interview people. This week
they went to Conestoga Chair
and learned many things.
