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. The Bayfield Wagon and Brussels People When the Toronto Blue Jays played the Detroit Tigers at the SkyDome in Toronto on Thursday afternoon, June 18, Jean and Gordon Stiles watched proudly as their daughter Donelda led the Hodgson Senior Public School choir, Toronto onto the baseball field and directed the singing of the two National anthems.
