After the first recess which ends at 10:35 a.m. the bell rang as i was just entering the room. So I turned around and slipped on my boots.

They are doing a play called "Peter, Pan". Room 16 is doing two commercials and at the end of the play they are put- ting on a fashion show.

BELMORE — Due to the generosity of many sponsors and the energy and endurance of many skaters, the Belmore skate-a-thon was a roaring success raising an amount of $2,648.27. Special mention must be made of the Belmore W.I. for supplying the food and drink for nearly 100 skaters for the ten-hour period. The effort of all concerned was very rewarding for the artificial ice fund. Brad Horton raised the most, amounting to $150.00. The young- est skater was Chris Eadie., three years old, and the eldest was Ivan Mawhinney. Thanks to one and -all.
