applicants had to meet a number of criteria
before they would be considered. Those
selected for the trip were picked because of
camping skills, .persenalaty as well asgihelp-
fulness and consideration for others.

Guides involved in the British excursion
met in Waterloo to discuss the itinerary
and what they planned to take on the trip.
Most of the girls come from Waterloo, with

Brookside teacher's career
By Alan Rivett
A standing ovation and the singing of
"For He's a . Jolly Food Fellow" by
parents, teachers and students at the
Brookside Grade. 8 Graduation ceremonies
on June 23 broug t a fitting. close to the
teaching career of on Cameron.
"The most rewarding part of : my
teaching has been the appreciation shown
in the last few days - the appreciation
shown at the concert lastspring and the
appreciation shown by the graduating class
this year," said Mr. Cameron, a teacher at
Brookside Public School since its opening
in 1967. ' •
35 -year career .
After a 35 -year teaching career which
includes: 19 years as a grade 8, music
teacher, vice-principal' and organizer of
countless spring and Christmas concerts at
the school, Mr. Cameron will retire this
year;
"The man has the ability to treat people
- students, parents and teachers - as equals
with good faith, good will and good cheer:
Ile has a knack for treating people as
equals and as human beings," said` French
teacher Rudy Roof tman as a tribute to, his
colleague, ,
After attending SS No. 3 West Wawa -
nosh and graduating from Lucknow High
School in 1949, he studied at the Toronto
Teachers' College during the summers of
1950 and 51. Upon graduation,. • he began
teaching at age 19 at his former school, SS
No. 3 where he taught for six years until
1956.
• 12 pupils:
Mr. Cameron said the °ane room schfsgl in
l West Wawanosh Township consisted of all
grades from Grade 1 to '8 with only 12
pupils at the school.
He also taught for one year at the St.
Helens school in 1956 before taking a
teaching position at the Belfast school in
1957. He taught at this school for 10 years
until Brookside opened in 1967.
The transition from one room school
houses to the modern facility of Brookside.
school was a relatively easy one, he said, as
Brookside's first' principal Agus 'Mcten-
nail worked with the teachers coining from
these • schools to help them make the
adjustment.
"It was also easier because many of te
Grade 8 pupils from the Belfast sch l
were in :my room .at Brookside," said Mr.
Cameron.

As the music teacher, at Brookside, • Mr.
Cameron also found himself in charge of
the Christmas and spring' concerts at the
school, a task he says he will Miss, in
retirement. Ile estimates over the :ears,
he has been • involved in 42 concerts.
"1 accepted the concerts as part of my
job, it went with the music program. I'll
miss that particular part of teaching - a
chance to create interesting programs," he,
said.
The main goal of the concerts through
'the years was, to involve as many of the
pupils in•the productions as possible with a
lot of work going into these productions,
Sometimes a few things went wrong during,
the concerts, but never anything disast-
rous. "Once it's over, you '» couldn't do
anything about it," he said,
As for a particular favorite concert,: Mr.
Cameron said the two school productions of
Joseph's Technicolor Dreantcoat were a
,good adaptation of the Broadway musical. -
"It had a nice variety of music,"
140A t of •all, he said theconcerts were
successful because of • the co>tm>nunity•
support which the school received in the
area.,•.
"The community always turned . out ,to
the concerts. The cone unity support here
is tremendous. 1 went to a concert in
Goderich-this spring and there was nobody
there. The people here turn out at the
concerts and ' are always receptive, he
said.
Over the years, he says,the students.
coming through the education system at
Brookside haven't changed that much from
when he first 'started teaching. "There's a
fine quality of students". The service the
schools provide has also expanded greatly,
especially in the area of teaching ' "excep-
tional' children. He also believes educa-
tion has also broadened to include. more
than just the ',43 Rs" with chore economics
and industr l artslourses expected to be
in operation next year..
"The attention is still on the .3 Rs but,
education has also broadened out. The
addition of "handson" education to the
old standards has made for more interest-
ing education," he said,
Mr, Cameron says he will use his
retirement to catch up ,on "a lot of things
I've wanted to do". He included gardening
and woodworking on his list of hobbies
which will keep him busy in his retirement,
"I'll miss the association with the staff
and pupils, there's no doubt about it. I'll
alsomiss all the school activities," he said,
