Iloggarth Nine members of Kippeh East met at Sloman Park in Clinton on Wednes- day June 17 for their educational meeting which had been organized by Helen MacLean. Little did we realize what an interesting evening was in store for us! We gathered around the ginkgo tree which had been planted on the site on May 17, 1982. We were then shown aboard the school house on wheels number 15089 by Margaret Sloman, daughter of Fred Sloman who had taught in that school for :19 years. What a pleasure it was to meet Cela Sloman, Fred's wife, who assisted him in the school house as well as raising five children. Cela told us that the school house was discovered in 1982 on a siding in Mississauga after they had lost track of it in the late sixties.• - Margaret Sloman showed slides on the old days in the school house and Cela had many memories to pass along. . Helen MacLean presented a bou- quet of pink carnations to Cela and Margaret Sloman. We were then served refreshments and reluctantly left the school house. all promised to return again someday, as the Slomans told us that more items of in- terest are to be added to the already well stocked and informative school CORRECTION The two budding farmers in -last week's paper were incorrectly iden- tified. They were Ryan Kyle and H¢rather Wood.

Grace Eyre and Agnes Eyre had to each pay a 15 cent fine for failing to wear their institute pin.

Mondays afternoon it was arts and crafts time at Queensway. Several of us got together to make a very silly craft - 'cone heads.' Our craft turned out pretty good, not to mention humorous. Tuesday morning we all gol together for exercises to loosen up and visit with each other. And in the afternoon Rev. Vipperman came'in to conduct the church service. which was enjoyed by all. Wednesday afternoon the ladies from the Christian Reformed Church came by to take several of us for car rides. Those who went had a super .time, and the weather was terrific! Thursday afternoon Joyce Pepper came in to help us through our choir practice. We hadn't met for choir in a while, and this showed at the begin- ning. But as time progressed. so did we, and we ended sounding pretty good. It was a very pleasant not to mention challenging afternoon. Thursday evening the movie of the week was shown at 7 p.m. 11 was call- ed "Three Grandmothers." It por- trayed three elderly women who were from different parts oI the world. and their unique and very different roles that they play due to their cultures. Friday morning the Hensi►1l Public School Choir came over to visit us one more time before the summer holidays. and we're very glad they did! They gave us a tremendous show with singing, piano playing and of course the choir itself. We'd like to thank all the children tor corning to Queensway. and we'd like to wish them all a very safe and happy sum- mer holiday. In the afternoon. several of • us gathered outside for the "Sharing of. Stories" which is always an enjoyable activity for all those involved. There is one more announcement before we sign off Today.
