Brussels students see Phantom
BY STACY HAHN,
LORIE ANN BLACK,
SHANE WILSON,
RYAN MAWHINNEY
AND MIKE SEILI
On May 27 the grade eight class,
three high school students and 23
adults travelled by bus to the
Pantages Theatre in Toronto where
we saw the Phantom of the Opera.
When students arrived and were
seated, the host performed a short
skit pertaining to the history of the
theatre. When the skit was finished
students were shown a short film
about the making of the Phantom
of the Opera. They then viewed a
video preview of scene six. The
host and two other actors held a
question and answer period.
For lunch they went to the food
court in the Eaton Centre for about
one hour. They enjoyed lunch and a
bit of browsing in the stores. They
then returned to the Theatre and
had about a half an hour to look at
the gift shop and be seated.
The performance began at 1:35
p.m. There were two acts. They
were both very well done. The
special effects, songs, and costumes
were breath taking. They were all
amazed at the organization and co
ordination. The show as over at
4:30 p.m.
By the time they made their way
through the crowd and boarded the
bus it was 5:00 p.m. They arrived
home at about 7:30 p.m.
We interviewed several people to
find out how they liked the show.
Two of the grade eight students say
it was “fabulous and extravagant”.
The teacher Mrs. Raymond was
impressed. She enjoyed the music
and thought the live performance
was better than the movie.
GRADE SIX
MYSTERY TOUR
BY MALINDA EXEL
On Thursday, June 11 the grade
six class went on a mystery tour.
The tour consisted of travelling to a
number of places in Huron County
and learning about them along the
way.
The first stop was a small town
called Leadbury. There we learned
that there was once a few stores
and a school in that town.
The next stop was at the
Egmondville Cemetery. There we
saw Colonel Anthony Van
Egmond's grave site. Colonel Van
Egmond lived from 1778 to 1838.
He had over 13,000 acres of land
that was later confiscated by the
government.
After the cemetery we went to
see Van Egmond House. The Van
Egmond House was owned and
lived in by Constant Van Egmond,
Colonel Anthony's son. The Van
Egmond House was the first brick
house in Huron County and was
built in 1846.
The next stop was Stapleton. In
Stapleton we saw the oldest house
in Huron County. This house was
built in 1834. Its owner was Henry
Ransford.
Then it was on to The School on
Wheels in Clinton, a train car with
a classroom inside it. This train car
had a 148 mile area to cover on one
trip. It made six stops along the
way.
Next was the Bayfield Windmill
where we stopped for lunch.

about six wagons and carriages a
year. We also saw a picture of a
wagon Mr. Pcnhalc made for The
Walt Disney Theme Park in
Florida.
The last slop was the Hullett

established 20 years ago. It was
funded by Ducks Unlimited. This
area has trails and controlled
