Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 6, 1983 11 WAVERLEY PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS Students from Wavertey Public School recently submitted submitted stories about life in Bowmanville Bowmanville in the past, present and future. I Would Rather Live 100 years In The Future One day I finished a time machine. Nobody said it would work but I tried anyhow. I got inside, pulled the switch and the next thing I knew I was in another world. There were people taking robots for a walk! The houses seemed to be floating in the air! Then I sneaked inside a house and wow! There was a robot with a sign saying "insert coin." So I put one in and a card came out saying - day-Monday, month- June, year-2983. Then I saw a flying carpet, a video and lots more. At least people were at school. I said I had to figure out how to get home! I remembered I made a time machine so I decided to make another one. It was hard finding material but I found it and made another one, I found myself at home again. What an adventure! Jeff Laughlin Grade 4 A Hundred Years Ago I would like to live a hundred years ago. They drove in a horse and buggy. The boys wore overalls a hundred years ago. The girls wore long dresses. They had bicycles. They did not know how to play hockey. Their schools only had one , room they used ink to write with. They had guns but they did not use them much. The houses would be made out of wood. They had no electricity. You would have a candle or a lantern ancLvou would have a sheriff. They would have a saloon. And that's how I think they lived a hundred years ago. Jennifer Chambers Grade 3 , A Future Bowmanville You'll never believe this. I know you won't, but I will tell you anyway. It is 1983 and I nave decided to test my new time machine. I hopped in, pushed the ON button, and the next thing I knew, I had crash landed on some planet that looked like Mars. At least I think it did. I got out and looked around a bit. I saw a gigantic house! Or mansion even! I went up to the house, opened the door, and peeked in. It was unbelievable! As I I stood there bewildered at how different it is from 1983, a big machine of some kind had came and found me. It looked like a robot. Then, in a low, mechanical type voice it told me that this was the year 2083 and that everything is done by robots. Boy, is this ever different from before when I lived in 1983. It is different because everything is done by robots, all you have to do to clean the house is push a couple of buttons and to make food, you just type out what you would like, open the door at the bottom and there it is! Presto Chango! From nothing to something. I wondered what it would he like to live there forever. I wondered what it would be like to live here and just hang around while all the robots do the work. But I knew that I would have to get home so I said good-bye and left for the time machine but it wasn't there, so I went back to the house to ask the robots about it and they said that there is no way back and I would have to stay here for the rest of my life. Oh well, it would be a fun experience anyway.
