10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Apr. 26, 1978 Cartwright H.S. News It's Spring (supposedly). The snow is slowly dis- appearing and an abun- dance of water is taking its place. Here at Cartwright the spring floods have been quite noticeable especially in the basements. It seems the old well at the school, which was put into retire- ment because it used to run dry in the middle of every afternoon, has taken a turn in the complete opposite direction. The well has a superfluous amount of water which has run over into the basement. To aid and correct the problem, a pump has temporarily been installed to move the excess water from the old well. These super shallow swim- ming pools are also appear- ing in homes (with the heavy spring thaw). So for the past week or more a far from musical humming can be heard throughout the building as the pump works around the clock. Students have found it more difficult to doze off under these con- ditions but have been quite good about this slight in- D. Lois Milne, B.A., O.D.

I guess they all know C.H.S. is the best thing they have going for them. Along with the water, spring also brings its annual fever for the romantics. A few people have been hit by it. It's not serious but it's hard on the heads .when walking into the doors and brick walls. Those who have contacted spring fever have probably already been invited to our big annual "At Home" which is sche- duled for Saturday, May 13th. To save on time and costs this year the school will not be sending out invi- tation to the alumni and parents so an open invita- tion is extended to everyone interested in dancing the night away to the music of the Joey Van Quartet. Tickets are available at the school or you may wish to get them through a student. The Prince Charmings are going around with their glass slippers trying to find the right girly because the theme this year is Cinder- ella. The students are busy up at the old Kindergarten every night colouring the mural pictures. We hope for a big crowd to come to C.H.S.'s best formal ever! Also, the Yearbook staff has planned a dance and dance-a-thon for April 28 to help raise money to pay for "Memorabilia 78". The staff has decided lo donate 20 per cent of the profit to the Cancer Society since April is Cancer month. The night begins at 7 p.m. and the contestants will hope- a / fully finish up 12 hours later a 7 in the morning. The event will be held at the Rec Centre and admission to the dance is $2.00. All persons not from Cart- wright High must be signed in by one of its students. Any parents or young couples wishing to chaper- one for a few hours through- out the night are asked to contact the school. Your assistance will be .greatly appreciated to help make this a successful fund rais- ing endeavour. Prizes will be awarded for the most number of sponsors, the most money collected, and also for enduring the 12 hours. Good luck, contest- ants! The Outer's Club had another Hot Dog Day last Wednesday. The members have found it a good way for raising money as the thoughts of the long but expensive Terrace Bay Trip are starting to kindle. As usual the Hot Dog Day pro- duced no casualties. I'm sure the students and teachers appreciate it. It's a great change from the daily "lunch-bag-let-down." That just about wraps it up for Cartwright High School's latest. happenings. When discarding a refrig- erator, be sure to remove the door, or secure it so a child cannot enter. Never use a pillow in a baby's crib, and keep small objects such as coins, buttons, and pins, well out of reach.

Island Community Hall was filled to capacity with Art and Craft. On the walls were lovely arrangements by Catherine Dehaise done in various media and express- ing her love of nature. Though she studied in Paris, she is now considered self: taught and has become pro- fessional. - Along with this display there were many local productions of pictures done in charcoal, oils, water colours and stitchery of various types. Mrs. Kerr and Mrs. Spear- ing of Bethany were busy all afternoon producing lovely crochet work for rugs, samples of which could be seen in many areas. Mr. Les Parkes demon- strated his minute markings of woodburning on the picture of the Port Perry Town Hall. To keep him company was Rae Webster of Port Perry with his recently acquired hobby of 'leather craft which he dis- played and explained. Mrs. Alexander and her daughter of Taunton Road had an extensive display of iced foods and novelties which could be purchased or you could learn how it was done. Mrs. Haines of Toronto did some charcoal portrait «sketching. Port Gifts, Luke's Country Store and Creative Stop, all of Port Perry sent different types of displays. The ceramics from Norma Tower's classes, as well as Marilyn French's and Myrtle Prentice's private collections made everyone long for some of the items. The stitchery in quilts, afghans, cushions, clothing, household items, and toys showed outstanding talents. CUPE contract A spokesman with the Canadian Union of Public Employees says he expects the first contract between the union and Scugog Town- ship to cover, the outside municipal workers will be signed in the very near future. In fact, Russ Whitney of the CUPE regional office in Toronto said the contract may be signed this week following a meeting between the union and the Township held in Port Perry April 25. - Men, too, displayed cre- ative ability in furniture, clocks, toys, flower holders, carvings and bird houses. Of great interest was the woodwork and crafts done by Cubs and Scouts. Everyone was able to go home with a craft, a lucky draw, some items from a bake table, a novelty, a. green plant, or even just an afternoon pleasantly spent.
