The Joyful Antique-o-Holics
If you visit our home, you
will find that we have several
antique items and pieces of furniture in every room.
My husband and I love and
are fascinated by things that
were made at least a hundred
years ago.
We enjoy browsing in antique stores and thrift shops. It
is always a pleasure to find some
treasure from the past and place
it in just the right spot in our
house. We find that many of
our friends have been bitten by
the same bug and it is always a
pleasure to hear the history of
how they acquired some of their
choice possessions. Several of
our pieces of furniture came
from Europe and hold places of
honor in our livingroom.
We had the pleasure of attending some meetings of antique enthusiasts and being with
them prompted the following
poem:
THE JOYFUL ANTIQUE-OHOLICS
All things bright, new and
shining,
To us have no appeal.
Our passion for the old and
When we are browsing through
the rubble,
Of all the junk in discard
bins.
You may think we are deranged.
But, you cannot say we're
melancholics.
We are just crazy about old
things.
We are THE JOYFUL ANTIQUE-O-HOLICS!!!!!
LINES FROM LORIE

tarnished,
We simply can't conceal.
That rickety old rocking chair,
Can make our hearts skip a
beat.
Finding a piece of Depression
Glass,
Can make any day complete!
You'll see us snooping in
strange places,
Among clutter, dirt and dust,
Looking for some ancient
treasure.
We don't mind debris and rust.
There is anticipation on our
faces.
We may display some silly
grins,

Students Deliver A Little Love To Area Seniors
DIAMOND BAR
—
Valentine's Day was Saturday.
And doesn't getting valentines
just make you feel good inside?
Made you feel special and cared
for?
That's just what students at
Quail Summit Elementary intended when they delivered hundreds of simple notes of appreciation to the Diamond Bar Seniors Club on Tuesday.
About 25 students, representing each class on campus, traveled by school bus to the meeting held at the Diamond Bar
Center.
The students had decorated
pink and red handmade cards
with sweet sentiments.
Many of the heart-shaped
cards read "You are my Hero".
Others said "You are my Valen-
tine, UR Cool" or "Happy
Valentine's Day". Some even
sparked with glitter.
The seniors were thrilled to
receive the colorful cards.
"I'm going to put these on my
refrigerator!" exclaimed Ann
Muzi.
"And I will think of you students every time I look at them!"
The young visitors are members of Student Council and
Character Crew, the school's
two leadership groups.
Teachers and advisors Leann
Legind, Pam Leslie, and Klinda
Burke work with students coordinating monthly activities
promoting good character.
This month focused on the
attribute of citizenship and students decided to honor good
citizens in the community.
The Diamond Bar Seniors
Club has been a wonderful role
model for the youngsters.
Members have donated soup
labels, box tops, and soda can
tabs, enabling the school to purchase physical education equipment and help other children at
the Ronald McDonald House.
The valentines warm wishes
were the perfect way to for students to show their appreciation.
"Our students were so excited about this project!" said
Pam Leslie.
1st grader Emily Ruhl
proudly said. "I colored my
card."
"It's important for the students to see the good they are
doing and make that connection,' added Leann Legind.
The seniors gave lots of hugs
to the children. Many sat and
smiled as they read the messages written by the children.
Some even posed for pictures,
proudly holding their Valentine's
Day gifts.
"I think the valentine cards
made them feel happy," said
fourth grader Emily Slater.
Isn't love grand!?
