With the first semester well under way, the education society continues its active role on campus. The society concluded its elections early in September and the executive is composed of Florence McCarey — President, Gordie Cox — Vice-President, Susan Laviolette — Student Council Rep. and Mike Trainor — first year B.Ed. rep.

Earlier in the year, the society held its annual outdoor Education Weekend at Camp Riverdale. A good deal was learned about the outdoors and the wild life that was observed Friday night will be long remembered (although some might wish it wasn’t)

The society has also done a good deal of charitable work. Money was contributed to Rick Hanson’s Man In Motion Tour for spinal cord research. A donation of food was also made to the Upper Room. ~

The second half of the semester looks to be just as fun as the first. The society has two major events planned. The first is a draw for four free tickets to the Confederation Centre Old Fashioned Christmas. Tickets are $2.00 each and can be obtained from any _ society member.

The biggest event in the works is the annual Education Society Lip Sync Pub scheduled for November 20 at the Barn. Anyone who attended the Lip Sync Pubs last year knows they were the social highlights of the year and there is no reason to believe they won't be better this year.

Society members have been gathering prizes for this since September, so there are plenty of goodies to be won. Anyone interested in entering can do so by getting in touch with any society member. —~
