The Brussels Post, 1975-02-05, Page 14A .,:>‘\\W .000' GRAHAM. "What a shock! woke up face to face with th' Help 'Wanted columnsir FEBRUARY 5 1975 Inside Howick Central 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, Marlin Good 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. Donna! hurler Gary l',,aglas 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. Gary Douglas 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' 14—THE BRUSSELS POST 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. Tammy Brown 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. Donn a,Forler 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! Michael Disley 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.
