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,

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.

from the previous year,.
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.

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.
