Sister Audrey (Dunn) received
her habit in February 1912 and
last week she was among a group
of nuns honored on completion of
50 and 60 years service.
For 48 of those years, Meter
Audrey,taught "just about every-
thing in high school and elenien-
tary" and she's noticed a few
changes along the way.
"Because of the let-Up of
parental authority there has
been perhaps a reflection cif
that in the present day boy and
girl."
But, explained Sister Audrey,
a proper approach by the teacher
can effectively cope with any
changes in students' behaviour.
And Sister Audrey, a native
of Ingersoll; hasn't log touch
with the educational system
despite, her retirement from
the teaching profession. She's,
currently the librarian at St.

trict in which he resides and
when.several.conclitio.ns.areinet, ,,
the board will greet permission
for :the change providing the re-
quest is made no later than
July 31 in any year. However,
such changes can only become
effective at' the beginning of the
school year except in situations
deemed by -the board to be of
an emergency nature.
The conditions area that there
will be no increase 'in cost to
the board for transporting stud-
ents to - and from school: that
the pupil loading factors in both
school involved will not be ad-
versely affected; that procure-
Inent of additional teaching staff

jects in his designated school
. that are needed to fulfill his
educational goals.

and that all work will be carried
out by Mrs. Couper.
Two other kilns in schools
in the county, those at Seaforth
PS and Robertson MemorialSch-
001 - were not included in the
program because these schools
are locked for a portion of the
summer while custodial staff are
on vacation. It was felt that
suitable arrangements at these
schools would be difficult to
make.
Board members agreed this
was in keeping with the board's
policy to make school facilities
accessible to the public on as
many occasions as possible.

Huron County parents will
have to accept more responsib-
ility for their children while
taking part in certain outdoor
activities offered through the sc-
--hools.-
Where siviMming is a poi's-
ibility or where participation in-
volves use of a boat, canoe or
other small lifer 'craft; Where
transportation is by other than
additiorate) regular trans-
portation provided by the board;
where students are transported
out of __the ..nr_g_.Y.thhe; or, where
there is anrpotentiaTy--hitarz .„
dous" situation , parents will be
required to sign a waiver ab-
solving the board of any res-
- poifeibility- in -case'of accident
er death.
Board member Cayley Hill
said he didn't think it was nec-
essary for the board to assume
this kind of responsibility.
"parents should be aware-
of a potential hazard," he said.
"If they are in favour of their
child participating, they should
say so. If they are not infavour,
the should say so."
Vice-chairman John Broad-
foot who conducted the meeting
in the absence of Chairman Rob-
ert , Elliott, noted that any par-
ent who doesn't sign the form
will Automatically prevent their
sons or daughters from taking
part in ,the program. He wond-
ered what would happen if the
signature of the parent was sim-
ply forgotten by the student.
"Would that student not be
permitted to participate in the
program?" he asked.
"if he's 18, he can sign his
own form," answered Mr. Hill.
"If he's 16 and his form is not
signed, I guess he'd stay at the
school."
"If parents are in favor of
the program, they'll sign," he
reasoned. "If they are not in
faeor, they shouldn't sign: After
all, how far does education go?"
Wilfred Shortreed suggested
tire a better solution would be
