CASTOR REVIEW We recently stumbled upon an opportunity to purchase an old piano: Buying it was easy; moving it turned out to be a different story. There is only one place for a piano in our home - downstairs in the family room. After much Ottawa moving firm to pick up it to our basement. Picking up the piano was little trouble but, upon arrival at our: backdoor, the two movers in- formed us that our piano was more like a three or four man job and could never be carried into shopping around, we engaged an. our piano in Embrun and deliver: Scrapbook By Suzanne Schroeter A moving experience our basement by two men alone. As the minutes - and dollars - ticked by we waited while a third muscle-bound mover drove out from Ottawa with the equipment to tackle stairs, something the first truck did not contain. The third man arrived while the old upright waited at our back door, our deck wincing under its 800 pounds. At this point, it looked as if the whole endeavor might come to an abrupt halt. After some tense discussion and measuring, it appeared the design of our stairway might not allow enough room for the piano's descent. With the piano perched pre- cariously on the top step, husband Steve and I persuaded the movers to attempt it anyway. If it didn't fit we'd heave it up again somehow. It was now time for me to take a few sedetives or leave. I chose the latter while skids, dollies, and casters were removed. When I returned 20 minutes later, the sight of four men gratefully downing cold beer announced victory. We had the old Mason and Risch in our family room with only one nick to remind us of its perilous journey.

During the school year, the grade eight students have sold chocolate bars, hot dogs and held special events to raise money for a class trip. On Monday, June 12, their efforts were rewarded. They were off for a three day trip to Niagara Falls with all ex- penses paid except meals. On the first day, they stopped in Toronto and viewed the capital city from the C.N. Tower. They then preceeded to Niagara Falls where they were given free lodging at Lundy's Lane Church only two miles from the famous falls. The evening was spent viewing the falls and touring the museums in the area. The next morning featured a closer inspection of the falls from the deck of "The Maid of the Mist'? and the tunnels in the cliffs. At Fort George, the students experienced _ living history as they were greeted by personnel wearing period cos- tumes and speaking as if 1812 was the present. A tour of Marineland ended a busy day. On Wednesday, the students spent a short time shopping for souvenirs and then started home. On the way, they stopped at the Metro Toronto Zoo. From all reports it was a very enjoyable trip and special thanks is extended to parent volunteers Mrs. Joyce MacGregor and Mrs. Merle McVey. On June 15 and 16 the track and field competition was held at the school. Students compete not only against each other but also school records, some of which have stood for several years. Brain Gunnell and Mr. Dave Chapman have also selected and coached a very successful com- petitive track and field team. Ata recent meet in Vankleek Hill, this team won two of the four trophies - the midget division champion- ship and the grand aggregate. The most important time of the last week is "Awards Day"' when students from grades five to eight receive bars for achieve- ment in academic subjects, sports, choir and public speaking. An accumulation of twenty-four bars in four years entitles a student to a school crest as special recognition. On Friday a movie was shown followed by the distribution of report cards and final good-byes until September.
