Enriched 3/690 Contemporary music playpci at pretty, summer wedding Sixteen years ago the Exeter School Board hired the first married woman teacher ever to be retained on their staff, She was Mrs. Cecil Wilson, and if there is some gumbling about the impersonal attitude of the County Board now, there was nothing impersonal about the trustees then. Mrs. Wilson, who retired last week from her Latin teaching position at the local high school, remembered, "I had to give them my firm assurance that I had a capable housekeeper to look after my home and children before they would even consider taking me on staff!" Since that date Connie Wilson has given unstintingly of her encouragement and understanding ,to hundreds of South Huron students who learned the skill of conjugating and translating Latin. Lately, there have been fewer and fewer pupils studying Latin and Connie admits to a feeling of sadness. "I feel people who don't study Latir miss a great deal . There is a certain philosophy to be garnered from it and a sense of achievement from mastering what is a difficult language." Of all the pupils who passed under her guidance she remembers most of them clearly and says, "I never had a child I didn't like." One only has to speak to a few of her pupils to realize this 'liking' was a mutual affair. A former student said, "Mrs. Wilson was a terrific teacher. She made a dull, difficult subject interesting by livening it up with her wit and spark. She was understanding and helpful and made herself available for extra help, or just for a friendly chat, after regular classes." Another remarked, "I hope I can be half the teacher she was!" Connie was asked, "What is the difference between students of 16 years ago and now?" On the negative side, she replied, "Well, they don't seem to want to work as hard. They are more uncertain about where they are going . . . but then, the world has never been so complex for young people before." Speaking positively about the current crop of teenagers she stated, "Their interests are much wider, and therefore, they are more stimulating to talk to and they are much more open in their speech. These kids have a good sense of values and we have to assume they are basically good ... if we don't there will be no communication with them." Mrs. Wilson confesses she feels more comfortable with young people than she does with most of her contemporaries. Asked what she will do with all her free time now, she answered enthusiastically, "I have never been bored a day in my life and I never expect to be! "There will be time to do more of the things I really enjoy, like reading, listening to records, attending movies, which I adore, getting involved in some kind of volunteer work, and doing a bit of travelling with Cecil." Cecil Wilson, her husband, also retired from teaching this year. He was on the staff of S.H.D.H.S. for many years before going to Stratford where he taught the last three years at Stratford North Western Collegiate. Since both the Wilsons enjoy doing the same things it sounds like a happy time ahead . . . with no feelings of having been put out to pasture! Mr. & Mrs. Wilson have three children; Paul, who has been teaching and translating English in Czechosy'vakia for over three years and who is expected home this summer for holidays Ted, who will attend Althouse College this fall, and who is featured with a musical group touring the night spots of Western Ontario; and Mary, planning to enter Innis College, University of Toronto, in September and who is working with Operation Beaver in Northern Alberta during the summer. To the contemporary air of Joy is Like the Rain, Jane Adele Southcott, escorted by her father, entered Exeter United Church which was beautifully decorated with yellow tapers, ferns, white and yellow daisies and snapdragons, to exchange the vows of matrimony with Bruce Lawrence Lee, June 20, 1970. She is the daughter of Mr, & Mrs. Robert Southcott, Exeter, and the groom is the son of Mr. & Mrs, Eric Lee, Toronto, In performing the marriage ceremony, Rev. Glen Wright was assisted by an uncle of the bride, Rev. R. E. Southcott, Oil City. Mrs. Roland McCaffrey, guest soloist, sang several selections and was accompanied by Robert Cameron, organist, who also supplied wedding music in the modern theme. The bride was lovely in a floor length gown of white tannisa with raised waistline and long full sleeves. Wide butterfly patterned lace trimmed the rounded neckline, sleeves, train and bottom of the dress. She wore a picture hat draped with white tulle which featured a large bow at back to which the bridal veil was held by butterfly daisies and pink violets. Her bouquet consisted of a single, large white orchid surrounded with English ivy. The maid of honor was If you are planning a family vacation trip, stop to ask yourself what you would do if a medical emergency arose far from home. For example, how would you get medical help if you became ill or were injured in an accident? Suppose your supply of needed medicines ran out or became lost or broken. Anticipate such emergencies, and make proper preparations well in advance of the trip. Consult your own doctor about whom to contact if you become ill or injured away from home. If he cannot make a specific recommendation, you can contact the local hospital or medical society where you are visiting. If the family is traveling in a foreign country and needs medical attention, obtain the name of a doctor from the hotel desk, the Canadian or U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or a travel agency. If medication is prescribed, ask that the label directions be translated so that you fully understand the prescribed dosage and frequency. Once you have decided where you are going, find out if certain special immunizations are required. Diseases that have been eliminated or controlled in Canada may still be fairly common in other parts of the world. Allow enough time in advance of your travels for all needed inoculations and booster Elizabeth Snell, Ottawa, while Mary Jane Sanders and Mrs, Robert Blair were the brides- maids. They wore white voile gowns over deep yellow underskirts, trimmed with daisies and green waistbands. Green mohair picture hats completed their ensembles and they carried white baskets of yellow and white daisies. Flower girl Nancy Southcott, cousin of the bride, wore a floor length dress of green daisied voile with scalloped hemline and short sleeves. Her basket of flowers was similar to the other attendants. Allan Lee, Toronto, was best man for his brother, and Glen Byers, Toronto, and Barry Southcott, Exeter, ushered. The wedding guests were entertained at the summer home of Miss Stella Southcott in South cott Pines. The bride left with her husband on a honeymoon to Cape Cod wearing a yellow and white print dress, yellow picture hat and white accessories, They will reside in Toronto where Mrs. Lee is employed at the York Finch Hospital, and Mr. Lee, who recently graduated from York University, plans to enter law school. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Lee was honored at a luncheon held at the summer home in Southcott Pines of Mrs. Donald Brown, shots. Ask your doctor about taking a supply of essential medicines sufficient for the duration of the trip. For a prolonged journey he may suggest you take along typewritten prescriptions. Keep your medicines in their original containers, and see that the labels are undamaged and easy to read. When travelling with the family by car, take a first aid kit along. And check it, before leaving on the trip, to make sure the kit is complete. Grosse Point, Michigan, Mrs. Douglas Snow, Muriel Walwyn, Mrs, Robert Pennick, and Mrs. Charles.
