22 eis aig ) Students enjoy fair activities By: Michelle Grant and Cindy Strath The annual Elmvale fall fair is over for another year. The weekend will be remembered by everyone for its fun and excitement. One of the most ex- citing moments was the choosing of the Fall Fair Queen. Nancy Trace had completed her year as Queen and now the 1980 Elmvale Fall Fair Queen, Michele King, will reign along with first princess Joanne Nesbit and _ second princess Theresa Desroches. The Queen and princesses were chosen on Saturday, October 11. All last week high school students worked very hard to create an original float that would best suit their house- name. Also, along with the float, each house had marchers _ calling out chants to lead their float to the fair ground where the parade en- ded. Throughout Friday's parade there were judges watching the high school and public school floats and marchers as they went by, to decide which one was best. The out- standing house for the high students was the pirates which did their version of the H.M.S. NOBOTTOM ship. Many hours of hard work were put in by a group of determined students and teachers to make a winning float. Closely behind the Pirates, second place was awarded to the Blizzards which did an outside winter scene. Honourable mention Jean Robertson and Mark Mills H.C.E.S. is saddened this week by the death of Joshua Playford, one of our Kindergarten pupils. We extend our sincere sympathy to the Playford family. On October 14 Mrs. Marg Sperling, who is a consultant with the County Board of Education, came in and took pictures of classes at work. She is going to use these pictures in a Home and_ School presentation on November 3. This Friday, our music teacher, Mrs. Spring, is going to at- tend a music conference in Toronto. Last Thursday, Mrs. Spring went to Collingwood to receive some instruments that the Lions Club donated. These are instruments that were left over from a band they used to have. Last week was Fire Prevention Week and many activities con- cerning fire prevention took place starting with a film called "The National Fire Drill". Last week Mr. Archer and Mrs. Handley had auditors in who were checking accounts and enrolment figures. Last Monday our Home and School held their first meeting of the was. given to the ' Rowdies and Trojans who also worked hard en their flvats. Unfortunately the t- shirts for each house have not been received as of yet therefore could not be worn by the students in the parade on Friday. In the public school : competition House A the Harvesters came out on top with their excellent marching done by kindergarten students right through to the grade eight students. House B also did very well in the parade on Friday. On Friday night there was a dance held at the community hall, featuring Slinger. There was a very good turnout and it appeared that everyone enjoyed the band. Also on Friday night Variety Night was held at the arena. Here you could meet the contestants in the Queen contest and there was a special appearance by Miss C.N.E. On Saturday there was a parade at ap- proximately twelve o'clock. This parade was one of the longest in recent years. It was highlighted by the Carlsburg Champio- nship Team and also the Golden Helmets. Unfortunately it started -f to rain for a short while but people still attended | S the fair. There, you could see the baby competition, the 4-H showing, the exhibits, and for the children there were rides. The rides started to be taken down about six o'clock and the arena Part of. the month. meeting took place in the teachers' classrooms' where teachers gave program presentations. Last Friday Mrs. Trace's class led House B in marching. As house leaders they conducted the cheers and guided the mar- ching. This helped improve the standard of our marching in the parade. Each class led by its teacher, gave extra effort and en- thusiasm to our mar- ching this year. Last week our Cross Country team went to Wasaga Beach to run in their meet.
