¢ { { e 1 | | SEE > a L a J CHR IT ISIE RS i with John Gast You have a great little town here, folks, but your kids are duds. That goes for many of the tots at Port Perry High who were given a big recess Friday afternoon to play. It was the school's annual winter carnival, but nobody seemed to mind that too much. For those few who didn't go home or the many who took part in the school activity from downtown, it was an afternoon of rubbing each other in the face with snow, throwing snowballs, or stretching out in the school's hallways. It was even more fun for the boys who showed off a verile, daring profile as they slouched atop daddy's snowmobile. In this 1975 version of cruisin' the drag, the young lads demonstrated their prowness and youthful intellects by roaring their snow soothers back and forth from the school to the playing field, weaving back and forth between their pedestrian schoolmates, and taking small elevat- ions with a smart, skiis-up configuration, designed to send the girl's heart a flutter. The dudes on the mobiles waited out most of the activities to get back to their unannounced performances. There is no reason to believe, however, that the females notices, and many girls revealed adult characteristics and vocabulary. One sweet young thing, for example, was the complete verbal image of a workboot wearing, unshaven, t-shirted thum- per | met one time in a beverage room. As for the carnival, there was an egg toss, a chariot race, an obstacle course, tug-of-war and snow sculpture contest, and even a teacher-student basketball game. If you're used to high schools where kids get involved in this king of thing, forget it. Not one of the kids in the chariot race wore the usual makeshift gladiator's helmet, wooden sword or even a cape over his shoulder. At Port Perry High, internal competition is such that no more than one tug-of-war contest could be mustered, and you had to feel sorry for the guy with the rope who asked the uninterested, quickly-diminishing group of onlook- ers who was next. : : My heart goes out to the two men, senior students at the school, who wore dresses on the basketball court in what appeared like a single: handed attempt to get.into the spirit of things. Even the election of a snow queen, demanding only a candidate and a vote, was eliminated this year. ~ There will be those, of course, who will blame school policy or teachers. While staff participation wasn't all that visible, having the event planned for them would have undoubtedly left a lot of the students indignant. In dozens of similar events that I've covered in other schools and municipalities, most are almost completely planned and operated by students, with a degree of competence and imagination that rivals anything offered by their adult counterparts. What's needed is a good shot of school spirit. Port Perry Fea Market 227 QUEEN STREET -- PORT PERRY, ONT.

As a result our church congregation partially bene- fitted when our minister's wife Mrs. Brawn occupied the pulpit by first taking us on an imaginary trip of picturesque Bermuda and continued by voicing what a fascinating and meaningful | experience she gained at the conference. Therefore we all appreciated your message Shirley. The United Church Women units 1 and 2 had full charge of this service as a result were fortunate in being able to secure Mrs. Brawn as the speaker. Eight members took part in various duties. Offering was collected by Mrs. D. McMillan and Mrs. K. Williamson. Another Sunday the newly elected stewards and elders were officially installed by our minister Rev. R. Brawn. The attractive floral baskets were placed in the sanctuary by the Pugh family during their bereave- ment.
