THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1996 PAGE 7. Walton Public School news Rev. Banks pulls off April Fool's Day prank RURAL OVERVIEWS LTD. VIENNA, ONTARIO Staff and visitors of Walton Public School, Our company will be taking aerial photographs in your area today. Some time around 11:30 a.m., our aircraft will be flying over your school to enable the photo- grapher to take several exposures of the school buildings and property. We invite the co-operation of all owners of vehicles stationed in the parking lot with respect to one small matter. In order to help us ensure the optimum uniformity and symmetry in the finished product, we would ask that at some point before 11:30 a:m., all vehicles be positioned with the front of the car facing northward. We have found in our experience that such parking lot configurations produce the finest quality photographs. Thank you very much for your co-operation. A sales representative will call on you later in the spring in order to give you the opportunity to view the proofs. We are Elva and Ian Wilbee were greeters at Duffs United April 14. Geoffrey Banks lit the Christ Candle and Rev. Randy Banks led the worshippers into the Call to Worship, followed by the singing of the hymn This is the Day. After announcements and scripture reading he called the young worshippers to the front and reread the last verse of the hymn, In the Bulb there is a Flower. He had Sarah McDonald read the name of the writer of the song - Natalie Sleeth. Rev. Banks went on to tell them that Natalie died a few years ago and that she had written this song for her grandchildren. She had written a little story for her family and Rev. Banks read it to the kids. The sermon was called, "The door is locked". Rev. Banks noted that what he called the 'parked car confident that you will be very pleased with the results. Sincerely, Rick Martinson, President, Rural Overviews. The above letter was found in the Walton school mailbox on April 1 and brought into the office where secretary Linda showed it to the staff. Just before 9 a.m. all owners of the cars could be seen obediently turning their cars around. Little did they know that this was a diabolical scheme of Rev. Randy Banks, who was watching out his window and I'm sure, laughing his head off, knowing that the gullible staff had taken the bait. A few days later he went to the school and was going to confess his little trick but they were all so serious about it that he couldn't do it. However, last Wednesday he showed up at the school with a picture in his hand and produced it for the group. They laughed to see their aerial photo which was taken from the balcony of the Rev. Banks's home. April Fools! Well the Rev. may have thought index' was up last Sunday at every - church he passed on his way to Bluevale. This is his unscientific method for estimating the attendance at church services. Last Sunday being Easter the index was up and he expects the index to go down now until Christmas. The church used to refer to the Sunday after Easter as 'Low Sunday' as if to concede that the church had begun its long journey into the doldrums that -fie between Easter and Christmas. Rev. Banks went on to talk about how we keep our homes and cars locked as well as church buildings. The church began locking its doors on the first Easter night. In John 20 it says that the disciples were hiding out behind locked doors for Continued on page 27 that he had the last laugh but now he admits to living in fear as he is sure the teachers will plot to get even. Stay tuned to the exciting Walton news for the continuing saga of how the teachers 'get even.' Student teacher Tracey Fischer finished her last day on Friday with the kindergartens and now it's back to school for her. She spent her time teaching a unit on nutrition. The kids made bread, paper pizzas and food collages. The Grade Is are... doing experiments in air adventures. Part of this adventure includes putting on a magic show for the kinder- gartens using balloons, straws etc. Next week they have a very big challenge. They will attempt to lift a desk using air, straws and a big bag. Can it be done? Stay tuned for the results or better yet to and visit their classroom and see for yourself. Then you can see their squirt bottle art out in the hallway. The Grade 2s have been busy working with eggs. They made egg carton critters, wrote some egg poetry, shrunk some eggs using maple syrup, found out the strength of eggs, made washcloth bunnies and bunny baskets and in between that did some creative writing. Mrs. Scott's Grade 3s have started their magnet unit. All kinds of magnets have been coming into the classroom. There are cow magnets, welder magnets and smaller magnets as well. They are experimenting witli what items are attracted to magnets. The kids have now completed their stories and are finishing up by making covers for their books.
