Cornish, Pioprietot HU 206646 Clinton during Congregation At Holniesville Hears .fine Annual 'Report In the first column of this series, we outlined the facilie ties to be available in the Cen- tral Huron Secondary School in September 1963, Last week we attempted to present the many urgent reasons which brought the new educational programs to the fore and made them a reality in Huron County. This week we shall try to provide a somewhat detailed explanation of these progeame and to describe their suitability for various types of students. Some students find the prim- ary school work taxing to the extent that they are not pro- moted from grade eight. In the past many of these students have remained in grade eight until age 16 and then entered. the labour pool while others have been transferred to secondary school and 'en- rolled in the standard course directed toward grade 13—the only one available. Now two programs are being instituted, one for girls and one for boys, under the title "Diversified Occupational Training". These will provide a basic academic instruction in English,history, geography, science, arithmetic and physical education for 50 percent of the student's class time. The other half of his time will be spent in a specially equipped classroom area (see first article for details where the student will he rotated to a number of different spedialized areas throughout the term. Can Experiment This will provide an oppor- tunity to "try his or her hand" at these different jobs and al- low the instructor to evaluate the student's potential in each area. It is then likely that the student will choose to continue with further specialization in an area that interests him. It is hoped that in this pro- gram the boys and girls will receive a furthering of their basic education and sufficient practical skills to enable them to enter the labour market bet- ter equipped to secure suitable employment, Following completion of this one-year program the students receive a Certificate of Train- ing from the Department of Education. Those students who wish to complete their formal schooling at the grade 10 level, either because they feel their capa- bilities do not allow a longer program, or for other reasons, may choose one of the two-year programs to be offered. Have Two-Year Course Both boys and girls may select the two-year business and commerce program in which the accent is on a sound basic instruction in English, history, arithmetic, geography a n d physical education, with about 40 percent of the time given to the commercial skills of typing, business practice, record keep- ing, business machines and pen- manship. This prepares students for entry into the business world at the level of a clerk or typist. From here they may continue to pursue their education through ppecialized business courses available by correspon- dence or at night school. Boys may select a two-year science, technology and trades program, Here they receive the "core" subjects of English, his- tory, geography, science, mathe- matics and physical education, plus 40 percent of their time in five shop areas. This allows them to attain a sufficient degree of proficiency to enter junior industrial jobs or to aprpentice in a trade with the advantage of being able to select the trade with a know- ledge of their interests and apti- tudes. On completion of either of the two-year programs, a Dep- artment of Education Certifi- cate of Standing is granted. Offer Wide Range For the large group of stu- dents whose interests or apti- tudes indicate the suitability of a four-year program, three chOices are open, Each provid- es the Secondary School Grad- uation Diploma upon success- ful completion of Grade 12. Boys may pick the science, technology and trades branch where they receive advanced instruction in English, history, geography, mathematics, science and physical education for 60- 70 percent of the time. In grades 9 and 10 they re- ceive instruction in the six shop areas — electricity, drafting, motor mechanics, building con- struction, machine shop, sheet metal and welding — and in grades 11 and 12 they cnoose to specialize in one shop and receive supporting instruction in two related shops. This program provides suf- ficient time to permit a boy to become highly skilled prior to entrance into industry or ap- prenticeship training. In the case of motor mechanics, he re- ceives a two-year credit off the length of his apprenticeship. Agriculture Course For the boy interested in agriculture, a new agriculture option will be available in this branch. In grades nine and 10 a student may take agriculture in lieu of machine shop and then may specialize in agricul- ture for grades n and 12. In the business and commerce branch, boys and girls receive advanced education in the basic subjects and complete program of training in commercial skills including typing, office prac- tice, shorthand, bookkeeping, accountancy, business organiza- tion and business machines. This 'program prepares the student for entry into the busi- ness world at an advanced level comparable to the stenographer or merchandise management trainee functions. The arts and science branch provides boys and' girls a more general basic education without emphasis on saleable skills. It offers a conversational French course, a hobby-oriented shop- work course and a complete home economics course, all pro- gressing to the grade 12 level. Three five-year programs will be offered, all leading to a common grade 13 and univer- sity, or to other higher educa- tion beyond grade 12 or 13. These are challenging programs designed for the above average student. All three have the same aca- demic subjects of English, his- tory, geography, mathematics, science, physical education and a foreign language. In addition depending upon the branch chosen, the student can velect "enrichment subjects" taking 20 percent of his time, Boys can choose the science, technology and trades branch where they get a taste of six shops during grades 9 and 10 and then a more concentrated program in the University-re- lated shops of drafting, elec- tricity (including electronics) and machine shop during grades n and 12. This will provide an excellent background for future engineering students, among others. See Modern Procedures Students choosing the busi- ness and commerce branch get the opportunity to explore moe dern business procedures and receive training in the secre- tarial area or business organi- zation and accountancy field. This Could be a prelude to commerce and finante, business administration, secretarial science, nursing or any other course where business methods are a factor. The arts and science branch contains a program for stud- ents wishing three foreign lan- guages — French, Latin and Spanish or two languages with home economics or one subject from another branch. This program could be con- sidered the preparation for language, history or drama courses but, as with the other two,. leads to almost all uni- versity courses. To round out the school's of- ferings, two special one-year programs will be given, The special commercial program is open' to students after grades U, 12 or 13 and offers a year of concentrated business train- ing with practical experience in the methods and machinery of business. Can Broaden Education The special technical program will make available to students after grades 11, 12 or 13 a year of study in one of the shop areas with supporting instruc- tion in a second shop and a core of academic subjects. These programs are of parti- cular value to students graduat- ing from grades 12 and 13 who wish to broaden their educaa- tional background before entry into the employment world. From the foregoing, it can easily be seen that the Central Huron Secondary School has been designed to cater to the capacities, interests and needs of all students. A sufficient variety of programs will be available to enable each in- dividual to obtain a suitable education for the future, Rebekah Lodge To Meet Monday The Htironic Rebekah Lodge No. 306 will hold its regular meeting on Monday night, Feb- ruary 4 at 8 o'clock in the lodge rooms on Princess Street. They will have as their guests the sisters from Amber Re- bekah Lodge, Hensel], During the meeting the Rebekah De- gree will be conferred on four new candidates.

The UCW had a particularly successful year, raising a net total of $1,184.00. The congreg- ation contributed $343.00 to Presbytery Projects (Capital Fund). The Sunday School enjoyed an average attendance of 60 during 1962. The Messengers reported a membership of 40 and an average attendance of 28. The United Church Women have a paid membership of 38.

Office Several 4-H leaders from throughout the area attended the two-day training school in the department of agriculture board rooms last week, with home economist, Miss Isabelle Gilchrist in charge. Project for the club this year is "Being well dressed and well groomed". Besides receiving some tips on dress making, the ladies re- ceived a brief course in "phy- sical fitness", so they will be able to tell the girls how to keep their figures trim and neat. Those attending the course were: Mrs. W. L. Whyte, RR 2 Seaforth; Mrs, John Broadfoot, Brucefield; Mrs. Lorne Hodge and Mrs. A. Smith, Crediton; Miss Jo-Anne Martene, RR 2 Crediton; Mrs. Hugh McWhin- ney and Mrs, Graham McNee, Dungannon; Mrs. Wellington Good and Mrs. Gordon Mason, Bly th.

With virtual unanimity two- important departures in pro- cedure were ..approved, Tt was agreed that cliefch should be- gin at 12,30 p,m, as at present, but that sunday 'school should be held after „church instead of before church, The new ar- rangement begins February 3. It was also agreed that the monthly Sunday school erivel- epee should bp dropped. • and that ^inetead three special, mis- sionary sundays would be held during the year on each of Which the entire offerings would be given to the M & M fund--- Easter, Rally Day, and White Gift Sunday, with the thought that special emphasis upon the stewardship of giving to mis- sions would be provided on these occasions. After spirited discussion con- cerning declining support of the Capital Fund and the size of the unfulfilled part of the pledge, it was voted that Harry Williams would secure more complete information concern- ing the proportion of church in- come being devoted to Capital Funds (Presbytery Projects) in the Presbytery by the various charges, and present this • in- formation to the congregation at a special meeting to be cal= led after church in .the not too distant future. A J. & T. Murphy bus will leave the Legion Hall sharp at 4 p.m. or before and members are asked to be on time. A full turnout for this and every oc- casion is imperative for all members. A heavy schedule is predict- ed for 1963, including spring events such as concerts at the RCAF Station Clinton Sunday evenings, February 10 and March 17. A band review is also contemplated at the sta- tion on the first of July week- end. Practice is being carried out on the test piece for the Toron- to Exhibition competition Aug- ust 26 as well as new music for summer and fall of 1903. The band will take part in tattoos in out of town points, fairs, parades and concerts, as well as special events in the fall. The Parade of Bands '63 is also on the planning pro- gramme. New routines and drills are contemplated as well as chang- es in uniforming. Extra prac- tices are being carried out by some sections as well as inter- ested band members. Recent new members wel- comed to the band are: John Ricard; masters Currie and El- liott, trumpets; Ken Hamilton, baritone; George McIntyre, drums; Carol Steepe, major- ette; Nancy Johnson, color, party as well as Doug IVIcBeath, trombone. Other new members are contemplated to be named upon enrollment. All sections of the band are up to strength except trom- bone, clarinet and basses. Ex- perienced and beginner mater- ial is needed on these instru- ments as soon as possible as well as other instrumentation, such as french horns.` It is also hoped that glocken- spiels will be added to the band in the spring. This year a strict policy of better attendance at all rehear- sals and engagements in Clin- ton and elsewhere by all mem- bers is number one on the band committee's agenda to accomp- lish perfection in all depart ments.

MS Dance (By Jayne Vos, 11C) On January 19, Dick Wil- liams, disc jockey of CFPL radio, London, arrived at CHSS Students Want SomeSay In Picking Queen (By Gwen Davies, 11C) CHSS—Most people of CHSS agree with me on one subject— we, the student body, should at least have a good part of the say in choosing our school queens. Here are a few varied opin- ions I have received: Ron Elliott, 11C; It doesn't really make any difference to me, to tell you the truth. Miss Rogers, teacher: I don't like the idea of a queen, but if one is to be chosen, I feel the students should be the choosers. Brenda Adams, 9H; I think the students should vote for the queen. Pat Harland, 13: Oh, I def- initely think that the students should have a say, Lyn Rees, 11C: The students know each other better than the teachers. Mrs. ,Hart, teacher: Perhaps a compromise could be reached with the staff making nomina- tions and the students voting for the final choice, at 10:4Q p.m. when his arrival was announced by Lois Spano, who had waited at the door of the auditorium. A good crowd was present and was on the floor long be fore Mr. Williams arrived. Prizes were given to Greg Brandon and Pat McKenzie. Dick Williams is a very friendly, very talkative, very tall young man, with a pleasant personality. He had worked most of the day and all night yet he didn't mind signing many autographs and a smile never left his face. A beautiful, girl accompanied. Dick but stayed mostly behind the scenes. Around 11:45 p.m. the crowd began to break up and 12;30 marked the end of the Dick Williams dance,"which was en- joyed by all who attended. RECEPTION for Mr. and Mrs. Terry Elliott .
