OLYMPIC FLAME - Roy Tebow and Matthew Baker lit the flame to open
the special Olympics- held at SHbHS with young people from Exeter,
Godcrich and Wingham taking part. Looking on is area coordinator Bill
Mills.
congratulated the athletes and com-
mended their efforts.
After the raising of the Olympic
Flag, the Exeter Junior Choir, un-
der the direction of Joan Perry, per-
formed several numbers, including
."Dare to Dream".
Athlete Mary Lou Masse recited
the Special Olympics Oath"Let me
win and if I cannot win, let me be
brave!" Two torch bearers lit the
Olympic Flame, then the McCurdy
choir provided the audience with
several songs. The games were offi-
cially opened by John Gray, and to
close the ceremonies, the athletes
released helium balloons into the
blue sky.
A special committee of South
Huron District High School stu-
dents coordinated students and teach-
ers to conduct the various events, or
to assist the.athletes as runners or
support crew. Events included the
running and the standing, long
jumps, shot put, ball throw, high
jump, and the 50 .m., 100 m., and
400 meter race for the athletes who
varied from ages six to 21 years, at
all levels of ability.
Each student was supervised, and
some had their own special' helper
for the day, usually a high school
student, to support and cheer their
efforts. There were games of a dif-
ferent sort for about 20 wheelchair
athletes, allowing for their more
challenging needs.
Members of the Alhambra, Algar-
va # 168 dispensed cold drinks to
the thirsty, and they did a brisk
business in the hot sun. Two mem-
bers of the St. John's Ambulance
were on hand, just in case, and an
old familiar face "Uncle Charlie"
was there to cheer the children on to
thcir best efforts.
Lunch was a real picnic for the
group, spread out under shade trees,
with free icc cream and guitar music
provided by oneof the helpers, for a'
festi%e air.
The children worked very hard to
practice for these events and it
showed, with overall improvements
from last year's performances. Han-
dicapped kids aren't quitters - they
face obstacles every day, and they
participated with real enthusiasm to
meet the challenges of running,
jumping and throwing - a very
moving experience for those in thc
cheering section.
Each child won a ribbon for par-
ticipating in an event, and at the
end of the day, the results wcrc tab-
ulated.

medals were awarded to the follow-
