Main St, Seaforth 527-0680 BY PATRICIA RIMIER Think back a couple of,months to that hot humid spell of weatherwe had in July and August. Remember how everyone except those living in air-conditioning complained about the heat and humidity. Now, we are sniffing and complaining because the cool rains that have been dampening our spirits have also put Contact C and Neo Citron back into business. This very minute,. as 1 am writing this column, in bed, the electric blanket on high, a thick layer of Vicks' Vapo-Rub on my neck and chest and a box full of kleenex next to me. It's a good thing 1 can't write the same way as I talk or I'd be writing through my nose! It seems that a cold or any illness for that matter, always comes at the most inconven- ient time. You can be sure that when I have to give a speech or sing in the choir, 1 often have a frog in my throat. Colds seem to creep upp on you on holidays such- as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter when you are either having company or going away. STRANGE ILLNESS Kids react to illness in strange ways. It is obvious children are sick when they are quiet for more than 15 minutes or turn down peanut butter sandwiches or plead with you to let them go to bed. Another sign is the occasion when all arguing between sisters and brothers is brought to an end, not by you, but by the children. This is when you may begin to worry. NO MEDICINE Have you ever noticed that children hate to take medicine when they are sick. Any other timo if you were to leave a full bottle of baby aspirins within their roach, they would eat everyone) Also, children with colds never like to have their noses wiped. They will kick and yell and squirm to avoid it. However, 1 have seen several children (usually toddlers) take every kleenex out of the box and rip them and blow their noses in them even if they �•• .M•Iact1v h. olthv Another thing that never falls to amaze me is how sickly a child can look when a sympathetic adult is on hand. Then, the minute that adult turns his or her back, out comes the lego, dolls or comic books and the TV is turned on. Being sick isn't so bad after all. Thea, when Mom figures the patient is well enough to return to school, the hacking and .wheezing begins once more and the illness gets worse. Strange! THE WHOLE FAMILY When one member of a family picks up a cold, flu bug or any other contagious disease such as these, the whole family seems to be attacked by' the same bug. What once was a quiet home for Mom to work in during the day can turn Into a hospital overnight! Mom can run up and downstairs, delivering orange Juice, aspirins, soup, the morning newspaper, more blankets, water, messages from friends and much more I am sure. While Mom spends most of her day caring for her patients, she rarely seems" to be affected bythe bug. Why? Because she doesn't have time to be sick! There must be an unwritten rule somewhere that forbids mothers to be sick! A FEW ADVANTAGES Being sick has many advantages and Student enrollment. stable Although overall student enrollment a- cross Huron has decreased, Huron Centen- nial School opened its doors to 504 students equivalent to last June's numbers. Along with a kindergarten enrollment of 50, 28 new students from Goderich, Ailsa Craig, Huron Park, Clinton, Hamilton, Vanastra, Fergus, Grey Central, Cottam, Turnberry and St. Joseph's joined the student body. Staff numbers, however were reduced .when Donna Shaddick, a Grade One teacher was transferred to Victoria Public School in Goderich. Another staff change occurred as a mutual transfer saw Niall Straw move to Usborne and Al Beattie from Usborne, teaching Grade 5 at Huron Centennial. Each Grade 8 class visited Camp Sylvan for two days during the days of Sd!bt. 20-23. AW' StLVAN' Our trip to Camp Sylvan was a great success. It was fun, lively, exciting and educational. We arrived home tired but happy. On our way to Sylvan we stopped at the Lambton Heritage museum. We saw three crafts, shingle splitting, candle making and weaving wool. My favorite was shingle splitting because you could really get into it. When we arrived at Sylvan we ate our lunch and got right to work. Our first activity was orienteering where we used compasses to find our way around the 400 acres of woods. My partner and I made it over the course in 5240nutes. My'feNotite activity of the outdoor' education school was a game called survival where each student became an animal for two hours and attempted to survive in the face of predators, fire, disease, flood and man. We certainly found out how difficult survival was for animals in the wild. We took nature hikes, did a historical tour of Sylvan including where the pioneers lived and the wagon trail they used. We identified some trees and still found time for an evening sing song by the camp fire. It was a very busy but enjoyable time and a great experience in outdoor education. -Danny Kipfer Open House saw an excellent representa- tion of students and parents on Tuesday evening, Sept. 27, as students gave their parents guided tours of the building, and introduced their teachers. Huron Centennial played host to a Junior Soccer Tournament attended by Hallett, Blyth, Seaforth, Clinton, Vanastra and of course Huron Centennial. Tuesday, October 4, we will once more play host to the Sr. Soccer Tournament. Two students have written their account of the Jr. girls games. GIRLS JR. SOCCER ' Our soccer tournament was on Tues. Sept. 27, 1983. In our first game we beat Hallett 1 to 0. In our second game we beat Seaforth 3 to 0 and in our final game we beat Clinton 2 to 0. We all had fun and hope the Junior Soccer Tournament will continue next year. -By: Lisa Faber and Kate Papple, 5B The Jr. boys tied one game and lost two tightly contested games. '. Sept. 30, the student body of Grades 5 to 8 elected their students' council for 1983-84. Election results are: President -Tracy St. Louis, Vice President -Joe Fansher, Secre- tary -Lisa Strong. The executive will be assisted by student representatives from 8A -Paul Menery and Murray Townsend, 8B -Dean Dobson, 7A -Laurie Kerr and Kevin Stirling, 7B -Kent Rathwell and Cindy Scott. Many other activities are well underway. disadvantages. The advantages include getting lots of +est, attention, pampering and sympathy, catching up on soap opera and having an excuse not to go to school. However, there are many disadvantages aS well. These include the terrible way you, feel; the loss of privileges such as visiting the TV room; missing social events such as all those held last weekend and tfie contact you lose with your friends during those few days unless they are kind enough to visit or call you. One good thing about being silk is the fact you can't get into work. Unfortunately though, one can still write a column while lying in bed sick. This week I wouldn't blame you at all if you felt this cclumn was "sick". In fact, I'd have to agree) SKATING SIGN-UPS were held Thursday at the arena as well as a used equipment,sale.
