Students and teachers alike can be seen at noon hour trudging through the snow. Following, is an article written by Carol McIntosh, 6A. SNOW SH OEING Snowshoeing is a good winter sport. All of the pupils in Huron County are being given the opp- ortunity to try this Canadian sport. Mr. Elliott, a very tal- ented man, instructs all classes In this art. He taught our grade 6A class how to use there. You have to take long and wide steps or you'll fall flat on your face. Mr. Elliott took our class through the woods to get used to going over and around obst- acles. When we were out of the bush we had snowshoe races, and we played fox and goose. If you ever get a chance to try snowshoes, take it. You will enjoy it! Grade 8 students have been journeying to Vanastra to try their hand at curling. CURLING You're the lead! You throw first! Where is the vice -skip? Who won the flip? Sweep you guys, sweep! Those are a few expressions the Grade eights of Huron Centennial School have been hearing the last two Thurs- days and Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30. We have two more sessions to take part in at the Vanastra Curling Club. We soon found out that curl- ing is not as easy as it looks. You do not throw the rock whereever you want, but must follow the skip's directions. One must keep in mind the proper delivery of a rock and the direction one is aiming. Keep youe eye on the skip's broom and remember to put the proper turn on the rock. If you are a lead, you throw the first two rocks while the second and vice -skip sweep it, if it is nec- essary. After the lead throws his rocks, each player takes his turn, second, vice -skip and then skip until all sixteen rocks have been played. At first the rocks seemed heavy, and throwing then seemed awkward , but we soon improved and actually manag- ed to get some rocks in the house. We are really enjoying the curling and hope to take part in it more in the future.

Consumers' Association of Can- ada cautions consumers to do some serious checking before investing in such a tour. It it is an international flight, be sure it originates in Canada, not the U.S. as the Canadian Transport Commission requires that travel agencies pay for return flights in advance. Determine if there are any costs the tour does not cover such as airport tax or taxi fares. Finally, find out what happens if you have to cancel the tour because of unexpected circum- stances or if the flight fails to leave as scheduled.
