will Operate on a twelve-room plan rather than fourteen. thus discontinuing classes in the “por- ta’bles”. Speaking with Mr. Hall. principal of the school. I was able to learn that one of the portables will probably be put to Ilse as a utility room and pos- sibly house other than school activities, such as the Brownies, etc. This plan would greatly help the caretakers who now have to wait around to clean the Kinder- garten room after each function and prepare it for the next morn- ing. Mr. Hall was also able to settle one rumour that has been circulating, that of only one Kin- dergarten Class. It had been the plan to. have just one, but the e’nrolment of’ so many young ‘opéfuls makes the idea impos- ‘ble, and so Kindergarten will eontinue as usual.

Buses were packed each night carrying children to and from the classes. A special Sunday Farewell service was held 'where the 1 children, directed by Richard Duffield, sang hymns. Fourteen girls. members of the Friday evening'Girls Club held under the auspices of The Breth- ren in Christ Church, Aubrey Ave. Oak Ridges enjoyed a weinâ€" er and corn roast last Friday at the home of Mrs. Ed Cook of the South Road. The group is sup- ervised by Mrs. Cook. Mrs. Har- old Heise and Mrs. Jack Tariff. Unfortunately Mrs. Helse was unable to attend the festivities last Friday but will take her place with the group this week as usual. Legion News Last Friday saw the end of the summer supervised playground activities held on the community grounds on Wildwood Ave. near Lake Wilcox School. Mr. John Shearer, Grade Eight teacher at the school, was in charge, and among the other assistants was Mrs. Elsie Hendricks and Miss Jade Seager. Approximately 20 parents attended closing day cel- ebrations and a hilarious time was enjoyed by all. Fancy Dress and Bike Parades were held to the delight f the junior classes, with Villo luband winning the bike parade and Donna McMillan heading the list for the fancy dress. Hurdling, another junior feature, was won by Bonnie'Cum- mings. Mr. Shearer’s group, the seniors, held an all-star baseball game. There were many other races, ,both for children and adults, such as Throwing Egg race, Shoe Scramble, Shoe Kick. and the Slow Bike race. Another feature was the Pet Show. Crests which had been ordered for pre- sentation to the children were delayed in the making so the supervisors will present each child with theirs at a later date. probably at“ school. In the Bean Guessing contest where, by the way. three thousand, nine hun- dred and twenty-five beans were placed in the jar, Mrs. Frieda Munro, of Moray Ave. Lake Wil- cox made the closest guess. She very generously requested that they draw names for her prize of ‘ $5.00 which was then won by Mrs. Moore of Elm Grove Lake. Wilcox. All in all, a most enjoy-‘ able day was spent, a fitting clos- ing for a moSt successful season.

There will be two other groups, one beginning at eight in the morning and running through until twelve-thirty and the other will commence at twelve-thirty on till five. Mr. Jeans, principal at the school, realizes the inconvenience that will inevitably arise in some fam- ilies where there are two or more children and therefore school hours are likely to be in at least two, possibly three, of the group, but asks parents to please be patient. this condition is only temporary and is for the better- ment of all concerned. I was unable to speak with anyone from “Our Lady of Annunciation School" to report possible chang- es or improvements there and ask if someone affiliated with that school could get in touch with me, I would be most happy‘ to report their news also. 0a; qu gedj Mr. and Mrs. Gene Osbourne and family of Illinois motored over last week to visit his bro- ther, Mr. Elmer Osbourne and family of Bayview Ave., North, Lake Wilcox who they have not seen in over three years.
