Communication Day
By, Kevin South
On May 7 the school held their spring con-
cert. The theme of the concert was com-
munication. The title of the play was the
Grapevine Connection. Each grade was ir--
volved in a study of a particular method of
communication during the week.
During the concert, each method of com-
munication was described in song and story.
The play began with a caveman sending a
message by drumbeats. Grade 1 sang about
the alphabet which Grade 2 described the
importance of newspapers. The Pony Ex-
press was the theme of Grade 3 class while
the Grade 4 group punched out a message by
Morse Code.
The 5/6 group described the invention of
the telephone and television in song and
dance. The newest concept in communica-
tion - the computer - was described by the
7/8 class.
The narrator, Kelly Cook, did an excellent
job. Shirley Vincent was the accompanist
and Mr. Black coordinated the whole event.
Following the play, the senior choir enter-
tained with several excellent numbers.
'Their director is Laurie Little.
Canada Fitness Day
By Sarah Allan
May 5 was a perfect day for Canada
Fitness. The sun shone brightly but a breeze
kept the temperature down to a comfortable
level for running.
At lunch time, Mr. Yeats divided all the
students into 10 teams. There were 10 sta-
tions in the school yard with a staff member
to supervise the activity. The teams rotated
from station to station to complete the
events outlined in the Canada Fitness
schedule. -
Each student works to better his/her own
performance and is not in direct competi-
tion with others. If a student's efforts match
certain requirements (time or distance) for
each event, they are presented with a badge
and a certificate.

participants.
It seems as if the lift goal may be -reached.
A vote of thanks was extended to the special
committee of the tremendous efforts with
this project.
Six ladies attended the zone rally in Kin-
cardine on May 3 and reported on a wor-
thwhile learning experience. Appreciation
was received from the branch for the help
given to them with the video and fingerprin-
ting of the school children.
