SESQUICENTENNIAL
SEARCH
by Tammy Walker and
Cappy Onn
On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Cappy
Onn (grade six), Adam Blai< and
Tammy Walker (grade five) attend
ed a special program celebrating
Huron County's 150th year. It was
held at the Museum and Library in
Goderich. The six schools that par
ticipated were Huron Centennial,
Vanastra, Blyth, Clinton, Seaforth
and Hullett. The activities began at
9:45. We were split into two groups
(group A and group B). Group A
started their morning in the Library
learning how to use a microfilm
reader and researching about Huron
County. In the Library the helpers
were Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Holscher
and Marg the librarian. Group B
spent their morning in the Museum
learning about early citizens of
Huron County led by Mrs. Thomp
son and Mrs. Hamilton. Then they
went into the archives and to the
stack rooms. At 11:45 both groups
met at the museum staff lounge for
lunch. After lunch the two groups
switched activities. So Group B
went to the Library and group A
stayed at the museum. When it was
nearing the end of the day, both
groups met and were split up again
into smaller groups and talked
about what they had done that day.
Just before it was time to leave
Mrs. Johnston handed out 150th
anniversary pins. The activities
were fun and we learned a lot about
Huron County. We are glad that we
had a chance to go.

It was decided that beard growers
will have to keep their beards a lit
tle longer. Some people had felt
that the beards might be judged at
the June 6 dance but the concensus
of the meeting was that the beards
should still be in place for the
homecoming in July when the
judging should be carried out.
THEY'RE COUNTRY KIDS
NOW!
by Kathy Fraser
and Julie McNichol
The grade three class went io Mr.
and Mrs. Sieboll Siertsema's dairy
farm on Feb. 20. Jeff Lewis and
Anthony deBoer told us about their
trip. Jeff thinks it was pretty clean
(for a bam). He also told us about
the black and white Holstein cows.
The cows come in all sizes. The
spots on the cows are never the
same. They got to take a look at the
animals' feed, a cow magnet and
even an over-sized Aspirin.
Anthony had fun looking al all of
the different equipment. He looked
at two different tractors; one was a
White, and the other was a Case
International. They also looked at
the milking machine and other farm
equipment. The grade three class
had the privilege of seeing the cows
being milked.
Jeff and Anthony had the most
fun playing in the hay mow. But

they also had fun just gelling away
from school for a while. 1 think
they would have liked to slay al)
day, but good things always have tc
end.
Everyone climbed into cars and
were soon off on the second part of
their early morning adventure.
This lime they travelled to Gary
Caldwell's farm. Here they saw
some more cows: this time a vari
ety of different kinds. Some of the
kinds were Herefords, a Holstein, a
bull and some others. The cows
were all different sizes. The grade
three's learned that Gary feeds the
cows hay, corn and salt blocks
(which are blue). Gary also beds
the cows and calves with straw.
They got to see two tractors, a
John Deere, which was a loader
and a Leeland tractor. It was the big
one with the cab on it. They also
saw a harvester, which is used to
cut the com.
Cathy, Gary's daughter, got to
throw a bale of hay down from the
upstairs of the bam where it is kept.
They got to look at the com cribs
where the com is kept. All of them
were treated to hamburgers, hot
dogs and hot chocolate. They all
returned back to the school.
They tell us their favourite things
were playing with the Caldwell's
dog. We would like to thank Mr.
Sicrtsema and Gary for his time to
show them around and a thank you
to Cathy who helped pul the article
together. We think the grade three's
had lots of fun and learned quite a
bit.
