As the School year draws
towards its close, I can't help
looking back on the past 10
months, Tay first hitch, as head
of the English department in
our factory, with a mingling of
amazement and amusement.
I am amazed that I have not
gone down for the third time in
a sea of paper. There were
times whep I rose to the surface
only long enough to gulp a
breath of ink, before being swept
under by another wave of es-
says, or book report forms,
or memos.
My amusement stems from
another source—the old-
fashioned image of the English
teacher. There just ain't no
such thing as a modern image
of same.
For many years the image
of the English teacher was fairly
concrete.
It was that of a wispy, gentle
spinster of either sex, wholly
dedicated to the written word,
The only person in town who
actually read poetry. Some kind
of a nut who actually believed
Shakespeare was thrilling thee-
tre.
When I hold up that image
beside the gallery of characters
who taught English in my de-
partment this year, I chortle.
There isn't even the most re-
mote resemblance.
Let's see now. There's Jack,
a vast young man of great good
nature and courtly manner, who
is a dead ringer for Henry VIII
on one of the latter's good days.
He's a beer drinker, a collector
of antiques and a former adver-
tising salesman.
There's Mac, a former golf
pro. He's also an ex-bus driver,
ex-house painter, ex-airman.
He's an inveterate punster who
writes some pretty funny stuff.
As witness our production this
year of his master-piece, "Jul-
ius Seize 'er", in which the
principal character was Dr.
Bladder from Gaul.
There's Jeanette, five-foot-
nothing, 98 pounds of doe-eyed
French-Canadian, who spent the
first six months trying to con-
vince the other teachers she
was not one of the students,
who can pin a six-foot 200-
pound lout into paralyzed, petri-
fied panic with one flash of
those eyes.
There's Geoff, the young Eng-
lishman who came here after a
year of teaching in a good
English grammar school. He
planned to spend a year in
Canada, as a lark, He was
horrified at the free-and-easy
attitude of our teen-agers. He

its first pigeon race, May 16,

uated in St. Thomas, Sarnta,

formance taking seven positions
in the first 25 positions,
Lucan's consignment of
birds, consisting of 52 crates,
was picked up and transported
by Cecil Lewis of Lucan. A
convoyer accompanied the pig-
eons and released them. Mr.
Lewis said it was a wonderful
sight to see so many birds
liberated simultaneously, in one
place, circling and breaking
away en their homeward jour-
ney.
