SPENCER — Poodle skirts, saddle shoes, ponytails, cigarettes wrapped in T-shirt sleeves and everyone acting their age from long ago. These are all things you would have seen had you been at the Spencer Town Hall on Saturday,May 12 from 7-11 p.m. For on that night, American Legion Post 138 hosted its first annual ’50s and ’60s Dance. Dance organ- izers were Dean Stevens, Phil and Claire Harding, Carol Southworth, Jerry Perron and several others. Songs by Rich played music from the 1950s and 1960s to jog the memories of dances performed so long ago. A Hula Hoop, limbo and costume contest had a few nervous entrants but it was all in good fun. Everyone who attended seemed to have a wonderful time and wanted to know when the next ’50s and ’60s dance would be. So, mark your calendars for Spring 2013 and watch for the advertisements.

A Fire Department ambulance, a fire engine and a police car were on display as pupils went from vehicle to vehicle. They walked through each car or truck and talked with the public safety workers standing next to the vehicles. Classes read a poem and pre- sented posters to Police Chief James Hurley, who spoke next to a police car and brought tools of the trade with him. Principal Kathleen Pelley said the event gave children a chance to “put a face with a name” and know who to turn to if there is a problem. Every month, Morneau explained, a differ- ent trait was featured. Citizenship was the choice for May and June. Pupils who did something demonstrating that month’s trait were featured in an “aquarium” display out- side the main office. Every Friday, Morneau said, pupils were picked to read names and deeds written on some of the paper “fish” in Leicester Fire Company 2 was at Leicester Primary School to allow kids to walk through the fire truck and the display over the public address system learn what’s carried on the truck. and share them with the school.

As they saw the last member of our running club turn the corner near the finish, where they were all waiting and cheering each other on, they spontaneously erupted into a chant of her name, then all ran to meet her and ran the remainder of the race with her so they all finished together.” According to Johnson, the Running Club team earned spe- cial recognition from Dean Reinke, CEO and president of Reinke Sports Group, which organized and sponsored the event. She said Reinke “was so impressed with our spirit and togetherness that he gave us a special team award during the ceremony. It was a wonderful day all around!” The racers who took part in the 5-kilometer run were Sergy Choz, Jordan DeGaetano, Lucas Ford (tied for third overall Courtesy photos and first place in his age division), Benjamin Kenney, Mac Members of the Leicester Middle School Running Club meet on the Posing for a photo at the finish line.

David Dore photos NORTH BROOKFIELD — The North Brookfield Playground Committee and the Friends of the Playground hosted a Family Fun Day on the Common Saturday, June 16 in conjunction with the celebration of North Brookfield’s 200th anniversary. Among the activities people could enjoy were a bicycle and doll carriage parade, a dunk tank, a mechanical bull, a lift (for adults only) on the town’s new fire tower truck, various contests for the kids, karaoke, a dance on the basketball court, a bonfire, a flea market and a movie.

Adults could catch a ride on the town’s new fire tower truck and see Aaron Fontaine, 14, of North Brookfield throws a Frisbee at a disc golf Elijah Thacker, 9, of North Brookfield throws a baseball at a target to quite a view of the area around the common. hole. test his throwing speed.
