They , don't have, to worry about school. books, tests. projects and all of the excitement given to us during the school year. It seems like just a few days ago we were saying goodbye to everyone, wishing then[ a nice summer and now we are buying new books and binders assuring each other that this will be a better year. But what happened to those summer plans? It's funny but I don't remember planning on clean- ing out my closet or doing the dishes, but 1 did these several times this summer. I'm sure that my friend had no inten- tion of taking her little bro- ther to the beach for the day. i know my neighbour left out washing the car when she made her plans for the summer and I can't imagine her including cutting the grass in her agenda! So what happened? Who knows? The summer is almost over. The weather will surely tell you that by now. If sweaters, jackets and long pants won't convince you of this, maybe the school books and papers on sale at the stores' downtown will. yes.

I suppose going to school is . kind of exciting for a five-year -old going to kindergarten for the first time. Meeting new friends, learning how to count, spell your name, sit in desk and have your own place to hang your coat can only be exciting the first time. However, little do those kin- dergarten students know that after they have been hanging up their sweaters and bring- ing their show -and -tell for a few weeks every morning, they will get tired of it. 1 have had the chance to talk to several children going into kindergarten and I can't help but notice that they never have the same attitude towards school. Take for instance a little boy who has been going to nursery school since he was three -years -old. The kindergarten is just like a step up for him. Sure it will be a little bit more exciting and different, but by the time you have been going to school for two years at the age of five, your attitude is certain to be' different than that of some child who has never been to any type of school. STATING HOME I'm sure that kindergarten. teachers often notice a differ- ence in their students. The child who takes to playing with the other children and playing . with the toys is almost sure to be a child who has been to a form of nursery school or child care. Another child who seems a little uncertain about playing with strangers would probably be a child who is accustomed to plan on being organized for staying at home every morn- the year and on bringing up ing with her mom and playing poor grades. Meeting new with a few neighbourhood teachers, new students and children. new friends is something that However, 1 am getting a we can actually look forward little bit off topic, so back to to.

' Students goirig into grade classmates 1 haven't seen since the beginning of last June_ Even the teachers are nice to see for the first few weeks back after a long summer. The new semester system at SDHS this year is something different to° look , forward. to as well. We can only hope that we will like it better than the old system. It certainly will be a change. Buying new binders, pencil crayons, paper and pens can actually be fun. It's nice /tip nine will be in the same boat. High school always seems like such a large school compared to elementary schools. There are more stu- dents roaming about the halls and lots more teachers to get on the good side of. In high school it takes at least a bushel of apples to take to each arid every teacher where in elementary school a bag was usually sufficient. Theme word "initiation" usually scares the students going into grade nine. They sometimes worry about it right until the very day and then they panic. Nothing to worry about though, it's just a lot of fun. 1f it was as dangerous as they say. it wouldn't be permitted. As a student who is going back to the same school as 1 was in last year, 1 can say that I'm just a wee bit excited. 1 look forward to seeing old Nappy b6etbday If you know of anyone celebrating their birthday soon. please send their name, age and birthday to: Birthday HE'S BIG AND HE'S MINE—Kristin Notices, c/oi'he Huron Ex - McNaughton, 7 hugs her teddy bear, who's big positor, Box 697 Seaforth, Ont- or phone 52.0240. ger than she is, at the library's Teddy Bear Picnic.
