Mr. Robertson, my fellow editors and I invite you to read this in- formative section each week. The regular program got into full swing on the second day of school. All rotary timetables in the intermediate division had been prepared. The library, French, music and physical• education schedule and teachers were anxious to get started so everyone got right down- to busi- ness early in the school year. This year Howick Central School will again have many sports events and fitness pro- grams which will be beneficial to' the students who participate. Physical education will be taught by Mr. Livermore. For those stu- dents who are musically inclined, Mr. Parsons is back for another year of musical education. This year,, like the others, will have choirs and ukulele bands that will perform for many audiences under the organization and direc- tion of Mr. Parsons.

Midget girls lose opener Wingham's Tri -County Midget girls had an off night last Wed- nesday in Atwood, losing the opening game of their best -of -five series, by a large margin. (The exact score ' was not available.) The Atwood team played ex- tremely well and the good pitch- ing stifled Wingham's bats. Friday night's return game in Wingham was cancelled due to rain, but the girls plan to put up a stiffer struggle during the next games. The series was to have 'resumed last night, Tuesday, in Wingham,with the next game also here an Friday night at 7 .p•m- Wiener roast is held forplayers A wiener roast was held Satur- day for those who played "T" hall this summer. Hot dogs, cookies and drinks were enjoyed by over 40 children. "T" ball is a game for 10 -year- olds and under. It is similar to baseball except there is no pit- cher. Instead the ball is placed at the end of a hollow tube sitting on a stand on the ground. The batter tries to hit the ball and then runs the three bases to• home if he can make it before basemen catch the ball. An average off 40 turned up Saturday mornings this summer to play "T" ball. They went to • Kincardine once for a tourna- ment,'losing one and winning one game. They were divided into two groups, seniors 8 to 10 years and juniors under 8 years. Jim Steff- ler, Don Cameron and Merle Underwood taught and coached the teams. , Five girls who helped the coaches this summer were Kim Foxton, Karen Foxton, Denise Walker, Sharon Brophy and Pat Brophy.
