By JOY SCHEIFELE
In his column which appeared
in last week's edition, Bill Smiley
commented, "I can think of no
fate more horrible than being a
teacher who doesn't like kids, and
no better life than for one who
does." Anyone who is the least
acquainted with Mrs. Margaret
Duncan recognizes that the latter
has particular merit.
After thirty-two years of
teaching public school in the
area, Mrs. Duncan felt perhaps it
was time to retire. "I'm still not
sure I've made the right
decision", she smiled thought-
fully last Thursday afternoon.
And one wonders too, as they see
the special love and respect the
children hold for her,
"But I really decided it was
time when I recently discovered I
had taught the grandfather of one
of the pupils now in/my class",
she marvelled. "Archie Pedden
was one of my first students, and
he married quite young. I guess
his son did also, and now I have
his grandaughter, Pam Pedden
in kindergarten!"
And indeed it is hard to
visualize this vivacious, youthful
looking teacher teaching
anyone's grandfather!
Her career began in the old S.S.
10 Springbank school in East
Williams township in 1937. For
the first few years she suc-
cessfully taught all grades in the
one room school. While she was
on the staff there, the school won
the Robert McCubbin medal on
three occasions for the highest
results in the entrance exams in
the county which were written at
that time.
But the Springbank school also
holds fond memories for her for
other reasons. It was while
teaching here that she and her
nusband were married, and after
five and a half years, she tem-
porarily retired for six years
while they had two sons,
"I came back to school with my
oldest son", she laughs. "As soon
as he was old enough to start
school, I returned to the
classroom, too",
On resuming her career, she
began teaching at the Sylvan
School where she spent the next
three yesrs. From there she
moved to the Parkhill Memorial
School where she spent the
following 14 years - four of which
were spent in the principalship.
Stephen Central was her next
school for 'two years.
It was at this time that the
County school boards came into
effect, "I thought I'd like to
return to Middlesex County
where I'd spent so much of my
time teaching", she recalled.
"And so I accepted a position at
East Williams Memorial School
where I taught grades two and
three, for a couple of years before
trying kindergarten".
At East Williams she taught
kindergarten half time, and half
time at Adelaide. "It was awfully
difficult keeping up two kin-
dergarten rooms", she admitted,
and the following year tran-
sferred to Ailsa Craig when
kindergarten was begun in the
old Ailsa Craig school.
Here ,the children from the
village attended one day, and the
children from McGillivray were
bused in the next day. On the
Tops 796
celebrate
By JOY SCHEIFELE
The sixth anniversary of "Tops
796" was held at the Ailsa Craig
United Church Wednesday. One
of the members wrote a song
especially for the occasion which
was used during the opening of
the meeting.
Members from the Thedford
Tops joined the group for the
special occasion.
All who showed a weight loss
for the evening were given a red
rose to wear. Those who had
stayed the same weight were
presented with a white flower.
Short quotes that had been
handed out earlier were read.
Such helpful advice as "Don't
forget! The most, important
muscles are iri the mind, for
exercise of self control is just as
important as exercise of the
body" and "in the long run, push
ups in the gym will not do much
good without some push aways
from the table" brought home the
'truth of the situation.
Ones like "those who can't
count calories, have the figure to
prove it" - and so do the ones who
can!" and "every calorie counts
in the end - and that is exadtly
where it Shows!" lent some
humour as well as truth,
Members who had lost from
fifteen to sixty pounds modelled a
dress worn before joining tops,
and displayed promise weighing
the mount lost. Some were able to
'carry it in, while others used little
wagons orhus to ease the load,
This made everyone acutely
aware of the improvement that
can take place when excess
pounds are,lost.rind what, a strain

a corsage as best loser for 1975,

closing of the Ailsa Craig School,
she transferred back to East
Williams with the kindergarten.
"It has been wonderful to be
able to teach in the new kin-
dergarten room", she confided
looking around at the modern,
attractive room. "But most of all
I've really appreciated the staff
here at East Williams, They have
been a great group to be
associated with, and I par-
ticularly value the leadership
given by Glen Stott, our prin-
cipal",
On the final day of school,
many of the young kindergarten
children knew this was to be their
teacher's final day teaching, but
East Williams
class graduates
By JOY SCHEIFELE
Wednesday, June 25 marked
one more milestone in the lives of
twenty-eight students .at the East
Williams, Memorial School as .
they graduated from public
school,.
A special graduation
programme was held in the
auditorium which was well filled
with parents and friends. The
Rev. Marshall,an English
teacher at the Strathroy
Collegiate was the guest speaker
for the evening.
A tape-slide show was
presented following Mr.. Mar-
shall's address, which
highlighted many of the events in
the year the grade eight students
had enjoyed. The field day, out-
door school and athletic events
had all been captured on film,
and re-lived by the students as
they viewed themselves
throughout the show.
The grade eight choir, under
the direction of music teacher,
Mrs. Schram; gave an out-
standing performance.
Wayne Currie acted as the
class valedictoriam and gave
special thanks to Mrs, Schram
for the support she'd given the
group throughout the year, along
with all the regular teachers on
the staff,
Refreshments were served at
the conclusion of the program by
the Home and School Association.
were unable to comprehend
"retirement", and fondly wished
their favourite teacher all sorts of
favourable experiences, in-
cluding "happy birthday"!
However, her plans do include a
bit of extensive travelling with
her husband,
