Manitoulin is
June 1041
It's time once again for the magic
of the Manitoulin Air 'Fair. This
two-day aerial and static festival
features military, civilian and acro-
batic craft from all across Canada
and the United States.
Last year, the first annual air fair
celebrated the grand opening of the
Manitoulin East Municipal Airport.
This year, the second annual air fair
celebrates expansion of services.
The airport now has better lights,
a commitment from the federal
government for a non -directional
beacon and the involvement of
Heritage Canada in promoting
tourism on the island.
Last year about 7,000 people flew,
sailed or drove to attend the grand
air fair celebrations. Air shows will
be held from 2 to 4 pm. on June 10
and 11, while displays will start at 9
a.m. and continue to closing both
days.
WPS students
mark board's
anniversary
By Shannon Werth
On Tuesday, May 2, the entire
st dent body and staff of the Wing -
ham Public School gathered in the
primary yard for 'a special assem-
y.
The assembly was for the 20th
anniversary of the Huron County
Board of Education. Our principal,
Mr. Robertson, made an introducto-
ry speech about the history of edu-
cation and how education has
changed from past to present. •
Then four representatives of past
and present boards were intro-
duced. The four speakers were: Mr.
Roland, the present superintendent
of education; Mr. Harris and Mr.
Reid, past members. of the board
and Mrs. Nolan, the present board
representative.
Our school was presented with a
new flag, which was put up by two
Wingham Public School students..
The senior choir, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Schedler, sang a song
called "Education Is Opening Up
the World".
After the assembly, the students
and staff enjoyed cake and a drink.
We would like to thank Mrs. Train's
class for making the cakes for the
students and Mrs. Mitchell for mak-
ing the cake for the teachers.
Each generation imagines itself to
be more intelligent than the one
that went before it, and wiser than
the one that comes after it.
