INewtonlville Alive [ by Peggy Mullan tiortIl Field Day at Newtonville Public School was a wonderful, ex- hiliarating success! Excitemnent and enthusiasm just bounced off each and every partici- pat and it was positively con- tagious. It was my pleasure to be able to help out at the gamnes, iast Thurs- day. It took me back, ever so vivid- ly, to myv own memnorable track and field days at school. Times -may have changed, but by the most part kids are the same. Tt does take a special personto be a really good teacher. To be so- meone who cani bring out the best in a student - whether in the classýroom or out on the field, is a r are gi ft. Some students in particular, have had more than their share of strug- gles throughout this past school year. To see these same kids literally shine in their respective track events was super. A pat on the back, an extra cheer, shout, or boast of encourage- ment from teachers or fellow students, makes such an impression on a child. Thank you Newtonville teachers for a terrific Field Day. Three cheers for every single boy and girl who gave it their ail! Little Scoops... T t is hard to believe June has arriv- ed! And it will be a busy last month of school for students.

Winners on the draw Robin Alldread, Bessie Stephenson, Lena Graham, Milford Simmerson and Marjorie Brown. I appreciate the feedback on last week's column regarding kids and vandalism. I must stress the seriousness of petty crime, and youngsters' getting into trouble at an early age. Nothing can be more deserving of immediate action and punishment than a girl or boy stealing or defac- ing someone else's property. No parent wants to ignore this, especially if the child involved is theirs. The problem has to be nipped in the bud. The child must be mnade aware of the serious consequences to be faced; that there will always be a high price to pay if he or she continues to get into trouble. Perhaps an arranged visit from a police officer would be in order. They are familiar with juvenile mischief and could quite possibly play a major role* in a healthy, positve turn around for the child. No one can over emphasize this issue. Final consequences cannot be sugar-çoated for a kid with a police record. Every parent of every kid wants to sec their child grow up to be a fine, caring adult - not a criminal. They most certainly will make it their business to do their very best at achieving this for their sons and daughters. Indeed, it is the parents' concern, as it should be; not everyone else's to pass judgement and hand down advice. "Have a Good Week!!" lu-, Forrest friends look P4-
