Mid-terms just around the corner | by Laura Grabinsky Students from Penetanguishene Secon- dary School enjoyed a well deserved holiday last Mon- day for Thanksgiving, cut- ting it down to an easy four day week. Unfortunately Mid-term exams are creep- ing up on us leaving students only three weeks to study. Last Thursday the grade 12 Law students journied to Toronto to experience "court room drama" in the Provincial and Supreme Courts. This was a chance for prospective lawyers to see some action. Another school trip oc- curred today as grade 10 Geography students head- ed south to Toronto to discover the different ethnic groups in the metropolitan area. Studies on China town, mixed cultural businesses and specific points of interest kept John Bayfields' students busy all day. Aggies meet The regional annual members and county an- nual meeting of the Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture is coming up on the calendar. Provincial directors and county directors are to be elected. Roger George, OFA executive member, will talk about farmers in transition, and _ debt review. The meeting will begin at 8 psn. On Oct. 27 an Midhurst Community Hall. Tomorrow the grade 12 and 13's have the oppor- tunity to see a university of their choice in Toronto, Hamilton or Guelph. The Guidance Departments of PSS, MSS and Elmvale District High School an- nually provide this excur- sion that will help students decide on which post secondary institution best suits them. Good luck in your choices. As a follow up to the visits at these schools MSS will host a college day on Nov. 2 for students in the surrounding area and on Nov. 11 our school will sponsor a university day. To end this week off, students will go back in time with a 50's dress-up day followed by a dance on Friday. ; Have a good week! Town of Midland releases fund , On Oct. 1 Midland coun- cil approved the use of © money in the Midland Library building reserve and $50,000 from next year's municipal budget, to pay for the renovation of the library. Ontario Renovations Limited will be working in- side the building mid- October through mid- or late January. The Library board received only one tender, of $242,000, which was $50,000 higher than the ar- chitect's estimate. The board asked the town for an additional $50,000 this year, to be marked as from the library's 1987 capital budget. Penetang Library Log Man alive: theme for week by Peggy Stewart 'Man Alive"' has been a popular television show for several yers. But long before the advent of televi- sion a few public libraries in Ontario began wrestling with the same concerns. What do men and women need to be really '"'alive"? It's the contemporary ver- sion of the simple but pro- found observation "that man lives not by bread alone". For many years most public libraries have con- centrated on providing their users with '"'bread": "bread"' in the form of books and periodicals and newspapers, films, records, and what have you: "bread" in the guise of hard information located (SELLE, CUCORS CLICHE OR HIDLAND in some obscure reference book or, more recently, ex- tracted from some mysterious database by some equally mysterious computer. But it all adds up to "bread"! Recently another aspect of "bread", a different slice, has been put on the library menu. More and more public libraries are venturing into programs and activities that nourish the emotional, spiritual, cultural and imaginative aspects of human nature. Through music, art, and drama; through craft groups, seminars, and social activities, the local public library is endeavouring to address the needs of the 'whole man". "Man Alive" is a great theme; a theme worth celebrating in this province-wide celebration of Public Library Week, October, 20-26. The Penetanguishene Public Library has not been backward in putting this theme into action. In the past year we sponsored 5 programs, attracting a total attendance of 225. One of the most successful pro- grams for adults was Angus Baxter-geneologist. We are currently plann- ing "Mousetales"' a puppet- show for 3-8 year olds per- formed by Waterwood Pro- ductions from Toronto during Public Library Week on October 21 at 2 p.m. in the Penetanguishene Arena.
