Activities in School School is not really as irksome as some think, at least not in Room II. Sports, that ' s our favourite. In autumn, when we played football, we won all games played. At recess the girls competed against the boys and the girls usually won. Later on in the year we played soccer at recess. We also thought up a new game, a combination of soccer and football. On stormy days we stayed inside and played ping-pong on on a ping-pong table without a net. Our teacher made arrangements to go pleasure skating and play hockey at the Winkler and Altona arena. At times we competed with Gnadenthal or Thames North in hockey. As days and months went by we could finally play baseball, which is the favourite sport of most of the pupils. As for parties, we would enjoy them any day, but work comes first and then play. We had a Hallowe ' en party, Christmas program, Valentine party and an Easter program which we presented in the Wakeham school on March30. On March 8 we had Parents Day and the parents in the district came to visit our school. In the evening we had a program after which lunch was served. School is not so dull and boring as you may think;, but quite exciting. So all in all, we at Thames South enjoy it quite well. Sharon Zacharias Above is a short summary of the highlights of the school term. I believe you realize that according to Sharon ' s composition that all students enjoy sports more than curricular activities because it isn ' t quite so strenuous on their grey matter. Therefore, Room II s motto is, First we work and then we play. 22
