Glen Elementary celebrates 95 years.

What:__** Glen elementary school is hosting a celebration for 95 years of memories this friday. There has been lots of history in the school like Miss LC Howe, who earned 65$ per month to teach 23 students wo had to excuse themselves to use the outhouses out back. There was no electricity so Howe stoked the wood stove to keep the classroom warm. And in 1935, Glen elementary was rebuilt at the school's current site on Glen Drive near Westwood street but four years later the school burned to the ground in a blaze believed to be casue by a vagrant. The school was then rebuilt 6 years later in 1941.

The event will happen in Glen Elementary school. The celebration will happen this Friday May 22nd from 5-9pm The people mentioned in the article are pricipal Derek Passaglia, gr. 4/5 teacher Luciano Stella, ESL teacher pat Demco, gifted teacher Barbara Inkster, and grade 2/3 teachers Petra Mckean and Maria Morello. They are celebrating because the school will be soon torn down and and a new one will be built with a state of the art technology. I chose this article because it reminded me of my old elementary school Millside which was over 100 years old.

Smarties vs. Pucks By Tom fletcher

WHAT: Another elction got underway in B.C. Tuesday night. Voters in the May 12 B.C. election will be presented with the second referendum on the (STV) system. This time voters will have a clearer choice, with the Yes and No campaingns funded with $500 000 each from taxpayers. The yes campaign has made a video to engage voters. The video uses a box of smarties to illustrate the STV systems. The top four coloured smarties win seats and the remaining smarties of the other colours are discarded, The most popular colour gets elected and the excess smarties are distributed, the next most popular color is elected. The No campaign offers an allegory to NHL playoffs, with a hypothetical final series between the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Series goes seven games and despite loosing one game 6-2 the Canucks prevail. University professor John Redekop argues, the total score fo the series would be taken to account and Leafs would win wih 20 goals to 14 despite loosing four games.
