ec teacher calls kids friendly
Not only was it her first
day of school here at F.E.
Madill for the new Home
Economics teacher last.
Tuesday, it was also her first
glimpse into the sea of faces
that will soon become
familiar to her as time goes
on. The cheering and
clapping that welcomed Miss
Acton to F.E. Madill that
first day at the assembly
overwhelmed the shy teacher
at first, but she now con-
siders us students a friendly
and well-behaved lot, and
ooks with anticipation to-
ward the coming months as
she fills in as supply teacher
for Mrs. Machan who is on
maternity leave.
Born in Toronto, Miss
Acton attended the John
Wanless School there and
then the Northern Secondary
School where her education
included home economics
from the sixth grade to the
thirteenth. Her last year
there had merely been a test
basis called the Canadian
Family in Perspective which
she greatly enjoyed. Her
interest in home economics
stemmed from grade school,
but bloomed into a partiality
in high school, and especially
in the areas of sewing and
interior decorating.
After four years at Ryerson
College where she majored
in Consumers' Studies and
Budgeting, the Faculty of
Education at Toronto gave
her a position under the
Federal government for
Indian and Northern Affairs
at Manitoba. Here she
taught public school from
grades seven to tern. The next
year she filled a position at
Grand View, a town so small
that in comparison,
Wingham is "like a city." In
this school, Miss Acton
taught home ec to grades
seven, eight, and nine which
she greatly enjoyed.
However, there was a great
disruption with maturity . the
levels, as the school con-
tained the different age
groups ranging from kinder-
garten through to grade
twelve.
After one year there, she
returned home to Ontario,
and then accepted this
teaching position for a few
months as a Family Studies
teacher. She is very interest-
ed in adult education and
training programs, and -is
aware of night school held
in the high school. She once
led a Girl Guide troop, and
last year coached for a Grade
7 and 8 badminton club. -
Other hobbies include cross
country skiing, travel,
gourmet cooking, handi-
crafts, and live theatres like
the one in Blyth.
Miss Acton is not really
new to the town of Wingham,
and so far has had an
enjoyable stay. We all hope
that her stay here will be
pleasant and rewarding, 'both
'for her and for ourselves.

Learning , to draw
Catch the excitement
The first function of an art
student is to observe, to
study nature. Learning to
draw is really a matter of
learning to see - to see
correctly - and that means a
good deal more than merely
looking with the eye. Al-
though you use your eyes,
you do not close up the other
senses - rather, the reverse,
because all of the senses
have a part in the sort of
observation you are to make.
A blindcontour drawing is
made by sitting close to the
model which you intend to
draw. Focus your eyes on
some point along the contour
(outline or edge) of the
model. Place the point of
your pencil or pen on the
paper, imagining it is touch-
ing the model instead of the
paper.
Then move your eye slowly
along the contour of the
model and move the pencil
slowly along the paper. Be
guided more by the sense of
touch than by sight. This
means that you must draw
without looking at the paper,
continuously looking at the
model. A successful blind
contour drawing demands
exact coordination of the
pencil with with eye.
