Let's try something new Modern equipment in this grade eight class of the new Stephen Central school give the boys lots of op- portunity to try out their scientific theories.

T-A photo Approve site at Kitchener The Conestoga College of Ap- plied Arts and Technology will be located in Kitchener, the col- lege governors decided Tuesday. The college will serve the counties of Huron, Perth, Water- loo and Wellington. Three Huron communities had made application to have the col- lege built here, but this was de- feated, due primarily to the fact the area is not heavily populated. However, there is still a pos- sibility that a satellite campus could be located in the county. While the new college, which will be built on land donated by the Kitchener-Waterloo councils, will serve Huron, it is expected most students in South Huron seeking this type of education would go to the college of applied arts and technology in London. We have friends All children like to have pets of some sort, but at Stephen Central school some of the younger students have been enjoying the antics of a few unusual animals.
