BY DAVID ST. JEAN
A happy hello and gracious good afternoon to you all! I
hope your week has gone well and will continue to be thus
(as Shakespeare would say). Since everyone knows that
the world revolves around my column, I will waste no
more time in tiresome Fiddle-faddel and get right to all
the juicy items I've gleaned over the past week.
At G.D.C.I :
The Formal was pretty good this year, at least that's
what I hear from those who went. 1 was indisposed on
Friday and Un(?) fortunately I could not attend.
Anyway these are the things•I've hear about it.
Una Costello was elected school queen and
congratulations go to her from everybody. Na lovlier
lady could have won although we must not forget to
mention the other contestants, all of whom looked lovely .
and deserve recognition.
Unfortunately Wendy Botz was unable to attend
because of sickness. We wish her a speedy recovery.
The decorations along the theme of "Octopus Garden",
were wonderful. The centerpiece of an octopus was set
off with a hanging seahorse, a clam shell containing the
queen's throne, and many colorful murals.
I'm sure all those who attended enjoyed themselves.
Thanks go to the formal committee, the decorating
people and all who helped to make this somewhat archaic
tradition a success.
Now I'm finished dissecting the formal, I'll turn to
other stuff.
Other stuff:
What is going down here?! ? Maybe I'm spoiled 'cause I
just moved to Goderich two years ago, but snow on May 1
is ridiculous! This cockamamy climate is going to kill
me! I walked out on my front porch yesterday and
slipped down on. the concrete! bang.! My..um:. neck still
hurts. Maybe I'll move to Florida, or' something.
Awright, hold down the cheering, it was just a
suggestion! •
I guess that's all I've got to say for this week. Catch ya
next Thursday. Hope ya have a good week.
