pA Sdn OY, bE ht BA SA, | rate POSE CARTWRIGHT NEWS By Carol Rushton Speaking of small schools, I found an 'interesting article in this month's Reader's Digest which seems to be on our side. It was rather humourous, as the education department decides the school should combine with other schools and make a great big one.. This was so all the new teaching techniques could be used. Everything goes fine in the big school until the Board of Education decides it's not providing the students with enough mean- ingful experiences. So, the Board tears down some walls so all the kids are in one big room. Finally, an important educator comes -along and says the school is too big and the kids are loosing their identity. He decides that what they really need, is a little school house, and that since Red is a cheerful colour, they'd paint it red. I must give congratul- ations to our boys basketball team, for their determin- ation. They've been practic- ing every morning at some ungodly hour, for -quite a while now. With all that work and team spirit going for them, how can they go wrong? Our grade 12 English class spent an enjoyable evening 'in Toronto last week. They went to see the stage produc- tion of "The Glass Men- agerie' and they were really impressed by the perfor- mance.' Night school is off to a good start. We have many inter- esting courses being offered. Last week, all were indus- trious to the tune of over 20 yelping and barking dogs. Mr. Fletcher seems to like the gourmet cooking class. (Do I smell burned water?) The Gymnastics class is hos- ting more than 100 children. Future Olympic stars? Macrame is knotty, but fun, and they seem to get a bang out of Leathercraft. Also are offered caning, and neddle- craft-Sewing. We have some nice new library volunteers who are greatly appreciated. They are Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Bar- ton and Mrs. Sleep. We thank you for your time and talent spent carding and organizing our books for us. Outer's meetings go on as usual, a few minor casual- ties, but nothing fatal. On the bottle drive, we were very proud of our haul. The people of Cartwright are much appreciated for their donations. Have you had your door knocked upon by anyone sell- ing hallowe'en candies? Well, we're selling them, another money raising idea from the boss. So far, we've been doing pretty well, as long as we don't get mugged Take advantage of the 1975 price.

In Glee Club, affection- ately called '"The Choir", we --are---singing--'Climb--every-- Mountain" from 'Sound of Music". Other songs are on the way. The Ping-Pong table in the English room is a point of high interest in the mornings and at lunchtime. We have a whole batch of kids trying to be champions. It sounds a little safer than soccer. ~ Keith Dalton's car ran out of gas on the way to McGre- gor's Store last week. (Is that any more than 100 yards?) Well, Keith, now that you can find your keys, how about checking out the gas gauge? - We have now got a grand total of three posts in our school. Enough for a fence? The swarming lady bugs have finally departed, only to be followed by swarming snowflakes. I figure we can almost guarantee a white Christmas. Hope everyone has a happy Hallowe'en and don't forget to watch for the "Great Pumpkin". PORT PERRY SCHOOL NEWS By Georgina Kemp Last Friday, 34 grade 11, 12, and 13 students accom- panied by Mrs. Lackie went to the St. Lawrence Centre. They saw Tennessee Wil- liam's "Glass Menagerie", presented by Theatre Plus. Fortunately for Port Perry, they had the best seats in the theatre, the first and second rows. Menagerie was a memory play, intertwined between fantasy and the troubled reality of a family in 1945in St. Louis. The four characters played their roles convincingly. Carol Teital was excellent when she portrayed a not-yet faded southern belle who dominated her children. Her son, Tom (Stephen Keep) is laden with the problems of this poor family. Nancy Beatty played a crippled daughter Laura, who was extremely withdrawn. All her time was spent gazing at her glass animals - the men- agerie - while she drifts in reverie. The final character appeared only in the final scene, as Jim (Ivan Brog- ger), the 'Gentleman Caller', who, through his conceit tries to help Laura. After the play the cast returned to the stage for a question and answer period The overall reaction to the play was excellent, and we all had a good time. Last Friday was sucker day. All proceeds will go to the Yearbook. The school clubs are doing well, and this may be because of the switch of Activity Period to noon hour. The Drivers' Ed. Class has successfully been form- ed again this year. The Junior band will be selected shortly. The Group 'Wednesday' will appear Thursday, Nov. 4th. The dance will be held on this day due to the Pro- fessional Development Day, which is on Friday, Nov. 5. Port High has a foreign child, 72 year old Yuni Lestari from Indonesia, who is supported by the school's monthly donations. We now have enough to buy her a Christmas present. Remember Folks, for up to the minute news at Port High, tune in for episode No. 4, next week.
