All pupils of the Wingham Public School will let their imaginations and creative abilities run wild, as _they try to uncover an original,' creative name for a creature on display in the library. The pupil who creates the most original and catchy name for the creature wins a prize. In French everybody seems to be working hard! But in between all that hard work, Mr. Poulin took the time to introduce a game called "Hockey". No, we don't go out into the winter cold to shoot a puck into 'a net, this is a game full of guessing, learning more French and having a lot of fun! —Ria Linardatos Our two volleyball teams are really starting to take shape. The many practices each week have paid off. We are going to play a couple of games with other schools (just for practice). The tournament will beheld at the F. E. Madill Secondary School Saturday at 9 a.m. All dinosaur out of newspaper. Miss Buist said that it was her pet and that it ate all of the children if they didn't do their work. The children said it will eat the teacher. One pupil came up with an idea to solve the problem: he said take a vote!

They are" using clay boats and putting bolts in them until they sink. —Kevin Smith Another busy week in Mr. Sakasov's class. There was a math test last Friday.

Zurich last `week and fought out a hard-pressed 3-3 tie with the Zurich "Has - Beans". Close checking, hard skating and deter- mination were the order of the night, as two .teams with similar styles clashed. Zurich jumped into the lead at the mid -point -of the first period after bottling Wingham in its own end. The Rockers were then stoned several times by the tall goalkeeper in the Zurich net before finally connecting when Wayne Brown banged home a pass from Ross Davies. Once again the Has -Beans jumped into a one -goal lead, and that goal also was the result of heavy forechecking on their part. The see -saw battle turned to the Rockers' favor again, but it took one of Rob Laurie's patented rushes into Zurich territory where he rounded the net, drew a man to him and then dumped a pass to Fraser Strong in the slot who slid the puck through the goalie's legs. Similarly in the last frame Zurich went ahead 3-2 before, Bill Tolton, assisted by Davies, notched the tying goal for Wingham.. WINGHAM 7—MILDMAY 4 The first match of the season between these two teams was played Sunday at Blyth. The first The Grade 8s will be reading three novels before the end of February and the Grade 7s will be, reading at their own pace but have a deadline of Feb. 10 to complete their novel "Island of Blue.

Last week the Golden Circle really got into the • winter spirit and went tobogganning with students from the St. Perry school. It was an event enjoyed,by all:.. • A couple of days ago, the children had fun making ° muffins in an assembly line. Each child added separate ingredients • while working themselves down the table. • —Nikki Reavie What an excitingyeek this must have been for the children of the Kindergarten class. They have been learning how Eskimos in Upper Canada live now and how they ,jived long ago. The students said that they were glad to live in Wingham where we have daylight' in the winter and it isn't so cold. They have just put their bird feeder' up and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of some winter birds. Some birds they would like to see are:.. chickadees, car- dinals, bluejays and nuthatch. The pupils hope that you too are feeding the winter birds. -Sheryl Hanula O Miss Buist's class has been extra busy this week making a Tyrannosaurus Rex —Kira Stuckey The Grade 3s in Mrs. Mac - Rae's class are presently learning how to write their own letters. Also, they are trying hard to keep their New Year's resolutions. The students had loads of fun making paper strip snowmen. • Malcolm (their pet gerbil) tried to escape by running up the outside of his wheel. —Heather McLennan Mrs. Phillips' class has just finished discussing the topic snow. They performed .many experiments such as making snow and putting it, in a jar: The next thing they will do is study the snow while it .is- melting and compare it to water from a tap. ' —Allan Baillie period was goalless, with Wingham controlling the majority of the play. Once again, however, a-. hot goaltender kept the Rockers off the scoresheet. Mildmay jumped into a quick 1-0 lead after 29 seconds had elapsed in the second frame, scoring against the Strong-English- Skinn trio. This seemed to upset the line, because they charged right back and tied the score 11 seconds later, with English getting the tally from Skinn and Strong. Dietz ave Mildmay a 2-1 lead 'at ' 7:18 of period two before Wingham rebounded with three quick goals in the last three minutes: George Skinn from - Bill Robinson and Jim English, Ross r* Davies from Rob Laurie, and Belmore Personals Fraser Strong and Laurie. This gave Wingham .a 4 - lead and plenty of momentum ping into the third. However Mildmay soon destroyed that illusion, with two goals in the first two minutesif the third to tie the score. Luckily for the Rockers, the line of Walker -Cullen-, Magee ignited for a goal on each of its next two shifts. John Cullen scored both goals, with an assist going to Walker on the first and Magee on the second. The. Rockers then went ahead 7-4 when Fraser Strong - intercepted a pass and walked in and deked the goalie for a shorthanded marker.
