Boughen and Mrs. F. McGregor with Miss M. McQueen at the piano. The study, led by Mrs. R. Allan was based on "The Church" from "The Word and the Way". The introductory remarks were centred around four main aspects of Christianity that must be considered in our at- tempt to get together with other churches, namely "The Nicene Creed" which describes the.church as being One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. A conversation between a few members was centred around reasons why people can't at- tend church and why we need to attend church to be a Chris- tian. It was felt that Chris- tianity involved sacrifice; or- ganization is necessary if a family is going to attend church and that the church should provide fellowship, expert in- struction and an example. One member told of a warmer fellowship that had been ex- perienced in other churches as compared with. some United Churches. One concrete suggestion was that we should give newcomers a warmer welcome in our church and not wait for them first to prove themselves wor- thy. out the percentage of pupils promoted in the grades from nine to 1.1 was good and there was a high percentage of pupils passed in grade 12 (83,6 per- cent) and grade 13 (84.8 per- cent), "There is a considerable var- iety in the effectiveness of the teaching observed," Scott noted, "but much of it was good to Very good and the staff is get- ting strong leadership from the principal." The report advised the board to appoint more department heads where enough teachers were involved, It recommend- ed that department heads be appointed for the history, geo- graphy, physical education, mathe,matics, guidance, langu- age and commercial depart- ments this fall. seek /Land Scott reported the board was investigating the need f or more land for outside activi- ties, but a report given later by the property committee re- vealed little progress was being made. Chairman George Falconer reported his committee had in- vestigatecl some properties, but the cost was almost prohibi- tive. Most of the school grounds have been taken up by the voca- tional additions, parking lots and landscaping. Falconer reported investiga- tion into suitable sites would be continued.

Reason for the action is the fact that the•board has no way of knowing what stage of con- struction will be underway when the auditorium will be used. At present, there is only one door leading from the room and it was pointed out this would be a fire hazard. "It's a fire trap with 'only one door," Frank Burns noted. "If they didn't burn to death they would get trampled." Principal D. J. Cochrane, B.A. reported the school had receiv- ed special permission from the fire inspector to stage their an- nual at-home dance next week. Board member Boyd Taylor, noted a motion was already on the books to hold back rent- al of the facilities until the new year (1963) and he suggested it be extended until the build- ing was completed. Ken McRae, B.S.A., pointed out the board would have to take a serious look and deter- mine what would be classed as "educational" functions when they rented out any portions of the school. "This may have a tendency to get out of hand," he stated, George Falconer also noted the caretakers should be paid for the extra cleaning work in- volved in extra-curricular acti- vities held at the school, and he suggested it was not fair that it should come out of nor- mal school operating funds as the ratepayers in. Perth and Lambton shouldn't have to pay for activities that they would probably not join. Falconer stated there was considerable extra cleaning be- ing done with the rental of facilities to other groups. 0 MIDDLETON Dr. and Mrs, Andrew Grind- lay and family, London, spent last Weekend with Mr, and Mrs. Fred Middleton.
