Pictures in the Hall
Last week Mr, Livermore was
assigned the job of arranging the
bulletin board on the north wing
of the school. He has titled it
"Remember The ear 1971 -
1972?" He has posted pictures of
the carnivals at Kurtsville and
Fordwich. Also he has the Volley
Ball "A" Champs, at.the Goderich
Tournament. Mr. Livermore has
pictures up of the staff, Howick
Fall Fair, Public Speaking
Contest winners, and many other
events. This is very effective, for
many students stop to look at
them. Some students want to see
what they looked like a couple of
years ago. Others are interested
in just looking at the pictures. I
believe many students approve of
having pictures like this posted,

Canadian Test of Basic Shills
About this time of year,
students seem to be writing tests
or filling in blanks as we are
working on the Canadian Test of
Basic Skills. This is not as simple
as it sounds. These tests arc
presented to every student from
Grade 3 to 8. The tests 'include
such areas as spelling,
vocabulary. 'language usage,
punctuation, capitalization,
reading, map reading, math and
others. This test of bask skills
indicates tt you your grade
standing in --tese ba:ic concepts
and subject. ,:real, and shows the
amount of year-to-yvar progress
in each area.

Curling
The grade seven and eight
students of Howick Central
School are lucky enough to have
the privilege of curling after
school on. Tuesday nights. There
are appreximatcly 41 students
participating in this sport. Each
person was asked to pay $3.00 to
help pay for the ice. I feel this is a
worthwhile sport because it is full
of excitement and skill.

Many live-year-olds across
.!iron County are probably
;)king forward already to
iarting school in September.
heir mothers too are looking
wward to the day with a certain
'mount of relief.
The Huron County Health Unit
:s certainly anticipating the new
crop of school beginners. Next
week the Health Unit begins their
health screening program for
pre-schoolers.
For the first time the Health
Unit is spreading the pre-school
screening clinics out over several
months, according to the director
of public health nursing, Mrs.
Gurpal Thind. Pre-school
screening .. will be done at the
regular Child Health Clinics in
the area. One will be held in
Brussels next Tuesday, Feb. 11
from 9:30 to 11:30 and in Seaforth
on. Thursday, Feb. 13, also in the
Morning.
A public health nurse, who has
been trained by the province in
health assessment ; will cheek
pre-schooler's development, Mrs.
Thind says. "Language, speech,
Muscle co-ordination, recognition
of colours, all the things that are
important when you begin school
will be tested," the nurse says.
The clinics will also do anaemia
and urine testing and will have
the children's teeth brushed with
flouride.
Children who need help in
sonic area will be referred to'

Kindergarten Photos
Some of our students have been
very disappointed at the. news
that has just been received. Mr.
Robertson, the principal of our
school has just received some of
the childrens' school photographs
which were taken. prior to the
Christmas break. These pictures,
we are sorry to say were involved
in the fide at Toronto's main post
office,The photos have suffered
too much damage to be sold so
the photographer will be
returning soon to take these
pictures again. These pictures
will come but the time is still
unknown.

Volleyball TournaMent
January 18, 1975
The Volleyball Tournament was
held at the Wingham High.
School. All of the teams were
dressed in their school colours
which was very effective.
Mr. Livermore and Miss Amos
were present and all the games
were extremely exciting. I think
all the teams put forth a great
team spirit. I think the most
exciting game was the last. We
..vere all nervous to see whether
our teams or Wingham's, teams
would win the Trophy. I think
oth the boys' team and the girls'
,:am tried their hardest, as you
an tell by the two trophies we
,nought home with us.
As a member of the Girls
volleyball team I would like to
thank Mr. Livermore and Miss
Amos for giving us the privilege
of attending the tournament.

Music Night
Doh, ray, nice. Ali yes! The
sounds of Mr. and Mrs. parsons'
electives and choirs are at it
again. All of the time, at school.
the sounds of the choir practices
ring through the halls. The first
Gazette of the year had a
calendar. The date on the
calendar said February 11. This
date has been changed to
February 20. All at the school are
"helpful places" and the family
doctor will be informed. "We can
help par ents to expose their
children to some things and then
retest them later on. If a child
can't do well in clinic testing, we
can sometimes arrange to test in
the home," Mrs. Thind said.
Parents of children who will
attend school in September w ill
be getting calls from Health Unit
secretaries, asking them to make
appointnicnts for the pre-school
screening, Mrs. Thind said. The.
waiting for a gr eat turnout- This
is the Second Annual Music
Night.
Come on everybody lets go to.
the music night!

Ceramics Elective
For this article I have asked
Mr. Collor fOr details about the
Ceramics Elective., The clay is
imported from California. Local
clay is not suitable. The clay is
pre-mixed and ready for use. Clay
must be wedged first to remove
air bubbles, this'means to throw it
down on 'the desk several times.
The clay must be worked very
quickly before it dries out. Hot
hands will dry out clay fast er.
Pinch Pots
For pinch pots4ou roll the clay
into a ball. Then you push your
thumb into the centre, and pinch
into desired shape and form.
Then the article is allowed to dry
14 a week bccausc it must dry
slowly.
'This is called greenware
because its not fired in the kiln.
Mugs
For mugs you use a rolling pin
to flatten clay into 1/3" thick.
piece. Then you cut out a circular
base. The rest of the clay is rolled
into a ball, and by using small
pieces you roll with fingers into
elongated "snakes" of uniform
thickness. These are coiled onto
the base. You must be careful to
cut the ends so they meet
perfectly and do not trap air.
Continue to add coils until about
half done. By using a dull knife
and water smooth sides, then
complete coils. Also add the
handles. Then let this dry for a
week.. This is called greenware at
this stage. When this work of art
is completed the greenware is
ready to "fire" in the kiln at
2200' F. for 51/2 hours. it remains
in, the kiln to cool. Three layers of
glaze arc added. Then it is placed
hack into the kiln and baked
again. When cooled, this is the
finished product.

Health Unit clinics set
to test pre-schoolers
children who attend the county's '
separate schools will go through
the screening at the schools when
they [we-register later in the year.
Spreading the pre-school
screening out for the children in
the county's other schools will
take the end of the year load off
the health unit nurses and will
also make it easier for farm
parents to have ,„their children
tested during the winter when the
work load on the farm is relatively
light, Mes:Thind said,
