I'm hoping for some allowance on your part for the one vehicle vehicle contractor. I'm not going going to be at this job much- longer (at least the store owner hopes not). If we can't be granted free parking perhaps perhaps it could be brought to council to establish a $1-2.00 permit which would allow us this space.

The line-up for the week started with a guest performance performance by the Bowmanville High School Junior, and Stage Bands on Monday af- temon. Some of the songs included included "The Original Thirteen" Thirteen" and "In The Mood". The performance was lively and kept everyone's toes tapping! tapping! Tuesday morning, Pines students visited Clarke High School throughout the morning morning for "Lifestyle Day". In the gymnasium, several booths were set up to give information information on anything from smoking to dental hygiene. (Numerous pamplets and brochures made their way- back to The Furies). - Tuesday afternoon was devoted to the Music Night Dress rehearsal. Wednesday, The Pines was visited by Toronto's "poet laureate", Robert Priest. The poet read some of his poems from his book called "The Ruby Hat" and from his upcoming book. The poet's most popular poem with the students seemed to be "Darth Orange" Orange" which is also featured on his album, "Summerlong". Everyone enjoyed his humorous and, sometimes, serious poems and we hope he'll return. Also, keep an eye out for his video, "Congo Toronto" on Toronto Rocks. The Pines Annual Music Night was a hit! The two- hour performance began shortly after seven, Wednesday Wednesday night. This year's Music Night theme was "It's A Small World - A Salute to To The Olympics". The | performers were asked to pick a piece of music music to represent any country of their choice. We had performers performers with music froin France to the Carribean to Japan. The performers also dressed in costumes for further further entertainment. The highlight of the evening evening was the surprise act, with Mrs. Prole and Mr. Farrington Farrington singing, "It's Hard To Be Humble . This hilarious hilarious act got the second part of the show rolling. Darren Currie and Jarret Prescott were the M.C.'s and did a good job of keeping the audience going. I would like to take this opportunity to again thank Mrs. Prole for the organization organization of Music Night; Mrs. Farrow, our accompanist, the stage hands, the people in charge of sound and lights, the performers, the band, and Mr. Smith and the decorating crew. I hope next Bowmanville High School's School Reach Team has enjoyed a very successful year. The talented seven "member team took first place in the Northum- year's performance is going to be as much of a hit! by Leslie Flazek. Jump Rope For Heart Well, it's this time of year again, when you'll be seeing Tne Pines students up and down your streets. Last week the students of The Pines searched their town for sponsors to donate money money to The Heart and Stroke Foundation. On Thursday, April 21, all of the time and effort paid off, because on that day, most of the kids skipped rope for two hours. Anything goes, as long as you skip. The high school students in charge of the jumping event went around the auditorium and searched for the most dedicated skippers. skippers. At the end of the two hours, four boys were chosen chosen as the best skippers. They then competed against each other, to show the group their moves and, all four were given chocolate bars for their excellent efforts. efforts. The jump was great, and everyone's muscles were sore the next day. We really appreciate the gene rosity of thé sponsors and the teachers ana high school students who donated their time to help with the event. We would also like to thank Quaker Oats for the drinks donated and Newcastle and Orono I.G.A. for the oranges. Chris Evans Today, The Pines Sr. Public Public School was fortunate to have Chris Evans, a song writer and musician, visit our school. He came to our school to introduce us to the art of music writing and singing, also to play and sing his own songs. Two classes at a time worked with Chris and the grade 8's composed their own song, with the help of Chris, of course. Then during the afternoon, afternoon, the grade 7's learned some of Chris Evan's own songs and practised a song for an assembly later in the day. All of the student body assembled in the gym' to sing their songs to the group. The Pines really enjoyed enjoyed the presence of Chris Evans and, hopefully, he'll come back next year, by Brendenn Bates. berland and Newcastle competition based on the popular popular television program, Reach for the Top, They went undefeated in 13 matches.
