List progress on Bible appeal Howard Ince, treasurer of the Exeter Branch of the Canadian Bible Society, reports that $301. - 49 has been turned in this week by canvassers from area church- es. He indicated several canvass- ers have not completed their calls and hopes the total will reach last year's figure of over $900. He urged canvassers to com- plete their work as soon as pos- sible. Anyone who may have been missed in the appeal may leave donations with Mr. Ince, The gymnasium at $11DHS was filled for the annual commence- ment, Friday, It was the last time the event will be held there, as next year's will be staged in the auditorium being built in the new addition. "It's obvious this facility here is not adequate," Principal J. L. Wooden stated after looking over the large numbers in attendance, lie said teachers come to com- mencement with a depressed feeling, wondering if everything that could be done for the stu- dents had been done. However, he said students get as much out of school as they put in, so the feelings of both the teachers and the students balance, as each group realizes they could do better. Mr. Wooden said the secondary school still operates quite well despite the comments of critics, although he admitted there was probably a problem of aims in secondary school education. He said the variety of the student personalities and the great state of mental turmoil and confusion they were going through during their teens con- stituted the main problems in defining the goals. Morley Sanders was in charge of the presentation of diplomas and special awards. During his introduction of the graduates, he pointed out several were in en- gineering courses and many were taking natural science at UWO. This leads to medicine. Mr. Wooden recently compiled statistics on the class which showed the following: Twenty-five are going to uni- versities, nine to teachers' col- leges, six in nursing, three to Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, one to agricultural school, one to Radio College of Canada, one to School of Medical Technology, Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev.
