the clock a decade recently by
returning to her elermentary school
to open a time cansule planted in
1979 by a class of Plymouth

October 24, 1979 was the official
day celebrating the International
Year of the Child. Plymouth
Elementary School teacher Tony
Hassard had his students mark the
occasion by putting together the
time capsule project. Twenty-six
students each filled a large
envelope with personal memen-
toes, Eighteen returned to open the
capsule 10 years later to the day.

Among the items rediscovered
by Curtis were newspaper clip-
pings, price lists, six cents and
photos of the things she likea. A
note to herself recorded that bus
fares ranged from !5 to 50 cents.
A movie admission cost a max-
imum of $2 — a candy bar, 30
cents. She wondered if there would
be gasoline and what nickels would

be made of. Would there be a
North Shore newspaper?

Her envelope also included a
taped message to the 20-year-old
Colleen: ‘‘Hi. I'm Colleen. I sup-
pose you are, too. This is 1979 In-
ternational Year of The Child. I'm
10. I guess you’re 20. I’m in Mr.
Hassard’s class Grade 6. This
speech is in a time capsule. It will
be opened by mc !0 years later in
1989. This day, Wednesday Oc-
tober 24, 1979 is special. i hope I
will remember. But will I?’’ The
tape also included a few barked
words from her dog Teddy:
“Woof! Woof!’’

Said the contemporary Curtis,
“1 thought everything would be so
advanced and futuristic. | thought
in 1989, cars would be flying. At
age 20, I thought J’d be married
with children.’’

But as this futuristic year closes,
cars remain bound to the ground,
movie admissions are over $7 and
Curtis is a fourth year, single,
nutritional science student at UBC.

Meanwhile, FHiassard’s latest
time-travelling project is a time
capsule buried for 480 students to
be opened in the year 2,000.
