'yy/'j'x,-: 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, December 17,1986 Section Two Vincent Massey Report C.S.S. Drama Club Brings "Charlie Brown" to Life On November 26 I went to the Royal Ontario Museum. It was an enjoyable trip. One student from every elementary school in our board was chosen to attend this science workshop. I thought that it was interesting in many ways. For one thing I thought that the discovery gallery where you could touch, feel and look closely at bones and things was neat. We went through the different galleries including early music, rocks and minerals, birds and ancient Egypt. Then we came to the dinosaurs and early mammals. I asked the guide how they find out how old the objects are. He told me they use carbon dating and chemical reactions. I heard many interesting facts and stories that you would have enjoyed as much as me, I'm sure!

The Courtice Secondary School Drama Club brought Charlie Brown and his gang to life at Bowmanville High School December 11, 12, and 13. The performance instantly instantly aroused the audi- by Grace Freethy In our assembly on Hallowe'en Mrs. Falls' class recited a poem called Hallowe'en Ghost by Sandra Liatros. It was very funny! Mrs. Collins' class sang Hallowe'en songs. Some of the teachers were dressed up. At every assembly, awards and birthday certificates are given out. I can't wait until my birthday comes! Some members of the band played music too and they sounded great! The flute was played by Cathy Smart, and Faye Logan played the clarinet. They both were pleasant to listen to. We also had a policewoman in to talk about Hallowe'en safety. At our last assembly Lt. Shirran from The Salvation Army came. He told us that there are many poor people in our community. We are trying to help them by bringing things like food, toys and warm winter clothes to the special boxes at Central School. Central is looking forward to carol singing, special Christmas plays and concerts by our own band. ence's attention when the lead cast appeared on stage, joined by the chorus, who filled the aisles voicing "You're A Good Man Charlie Charlie Brown." And anyone who believes the audience would be only young children would be mistaken. The faces of people from all ages lit up when the Peanuts gang entered entered the stage. Roger Gray, in the lead role of Charlie Brown, had the audience feeling happy and sad all in one emotion. Charlie Brown is well- known by all for his failures, failures, shynèss, clumsiness, and many other undesirable undesirable traits. And with a combination combination of strong acting and humorous gestures, Roger Gray had the audience actually actually believing he held all of those characteristics. However, throughout the performance Mr. Gray's ability to show feelings of warmth and love, especially to that cute little redhead, leaves the audience with mixed emotions. On the other hand, there is Lucy. Anne Marks put on a wonderful wonderful performance of how a "crabby" Lucy should act and talk. Miss Marks had a strong voice, carrying well throughout the auditorium. This is a great advantage when playing the part of Lucy. Even her comments, tone of voice and humorous ploys were performed with believeability in the character she was to be portraying. portraying. Lucy's younger brother, Linus, played by Junaid Shaikh, was a treat. Mr. Shaikh was bright and cheerful, which showed through in his performance. And he managed to have the audience believe that he really really had an attachment to his security blanket. And then there is Schroeder, who you might say has a piano as a security blanket. Randy Norton, performing performing in this more serious serious role, added a sense of reality to the performance. And Michelle Nichols, as Patty, was a bright and humourous character to re- CORPORATION OFTHETOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC NOTICE TO ITS CITIZENS CHRISTMAS SEASON GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICES For the Urban Area of Bowmanville Please be advised Garbaae Collection Services will be suspended suspended for Thursday, December 25th and Friday, December 26th, 1986, In the urban area of Bowmanville. ; Garbage normally collected on Thursday, January 1st, 1987, will be collected on Friday, January 2nd, 1987.
