ONT.. MAY 15, 1959 Area Students Among Graduates From Centralia The first graduation at Cen- .1:ralia College took place Thurs- day and featured the awarding of Diplomas to about 50 studen- ts cotnpleting the first two-Year courses in Agriculture and in Home Economics at the Centra- lia College of Agricultural Te- chnology. The College was established in 196'7 on the form- er Armed Forces Base at Centra- lia, Ontario. Addressing the college's first graduation exercises, Agricult- ure Minister William A. Stewart said co-operation of area farm- ers in prOviding their facilities for student use has meant the college does not require large acreages, barns, and livestock herds. „ "This is not to say that the de- partment plans to discontinue or phase out those very useful and important farineand facilities that are a vital part of the colleges at Ridgetown, Kenmt- ville and New Liskeard", he added. "We have no such in- tentions, rather we want to en- courage them to expand their practical studies and research work", He added hOwever, that Cen- tralia is proving that it is also practical to establish a college of agricultural technology where the emphasis is on working labs on the farms and in businesses' of" community. Mr. Stewart Said the college's first 49 graduates have been,pio- neers in many ways, but mainly by eparticipating in a new approach to agricultural educa- tion. He called the services pro- vided by practical farmers a valuable experiment in agricul- ture. "It has given our students an opportunity to see at first hand the conditions that facepractic- al farmers, am convinced that this' approach to research, invest= igation and study will be of be- nefit for the young men who will now move out into the agricult- ural community as farm managers and professional agriculturalists. "It may well be that you have assisted in developing a new rule for agricultural sctiools, one ba- sed on community involvement and close relationships with co- operating farmers". Groups of students spent part of their school year learning their courses on area farms. Dur- ing the on-farm period they com- pleted in-depth studieo of the total farm business and projected methods to improve profits. The top group of students on this project received a $70. prize. They included Robert Drummond, Kippen, Ontario Junior Farmer Scholar- ship's went to two students whq, made a major contribution to school life. The winners were Enid Mae Petheram of Waterford, in the home economics course, and Robert John Pryce of Dublin, in the agricultural course. John Plidham of Mitchell received the Ontario Plant Food Council trophy for being the top student in soils studies. Diplomas were presented by Deputy Agriculture Minister Ev- erett M. Biggs. At the conclusion of the cer-, emonie,s,..C. L, Collard of West- bill, of the student actiVities council; presented the college with a trophy case on . behalf of the graduates. Area students who received diplomas included ; Home Economics - Dorothy Elizabeth Jamieson, Clinton. Agricultural technology - Larry Edward Ballantyne, Exeter; Bruce Andrew Drummond, Kippen Robert James 'Albert Drummond, Kippen; Donald Delbert Geiger, Zurich; Peter Postma, Clinton; John Franklin Pridham, Mitchell; Robert John Pryce, Dublin; Doug- las Clarence Trewartha, entralia School Stresses Management it In Agriculture, farm business management is stressed to equip. geaduates who return to the profession of farming with a functional knowledge of how to cope with the Rroblems of agriculture. during 1969, five thousand farm people will leave farms in Ontario. Those who remain must be prepared to manage larger and more-efficient operations. To prepare gtudents who wish to accept the challenge of farming Centralia College laSt fill implemented a unique idea, Why not give the students the opportunity to project them- selves into a typical farm sit-. uarion during th4ir Senior Year?,, This idea led to the selection of farms in the area to act as "liv- ing laboratories" for this new educational technique called the "Senior Project". Considerable rime was spent by the groups of students throughout the winter months in assembling and analyz- ing information pertaining to the Crops, Livestock, Machinery and Financial Management of the Project:farms and then following up with recommendations on how to improve the operation, What better.environment could a stud-' ent have to apply, clasSroom prin- ciples to real farm situations'?
