We welcome to the hallow-
ed halls of W.D.H.S. a new
teacher, in the first year of her
career, Miss J. Small.
A native of Truro, Nova
Scotia, she received her educa-
tion in Halifax and later in New
Brunswick attending Allison Un-
iversity. Other teachers promp-
ted her to enter the teaching
profession and she also enjoys
the atmosphere of school life.
She has had some experience in
radio and television work and
will therefore be a valuable as-
set to the managing of this
year's drama club,
Miss Small is at present
teaching grade 10 and 11 Eng-
lish. She is unsure yet whether
her students are working hard
enough but feels it is too early
to pass judgment. Her views on
the educational system in On-
tario are that the various streams
are very beneficial to the stud-
ent who desires specialized
training; however, there should
be more accent on humanities
and less on the sciences. Com-
munication between individuals
is the most important thing in
life she believes.
So far, she finds the staff
and students very congenial.
From all at W.D.H.S., Miss
Small, we wish you the best in
your teaching career.
Every year a new influx of
teachers arrives at Wingham
District High. This year, if you
look behind the desk of Room
214 you are bound to see Mr.
Higgs, a new addition to the
'66-6'7 teaching staff.
Mr. Higgs hails from Mc-
Kellar, a prospering village of
200 people, located near Parry
Sound. Having received sec-
ondary schooling at Huntsville
High, he went to the University
of Western Ontario where he
received his B, A.
What does he do for crea-
tive excitement? He says that
he is a music enthusiast and
plays the clarinet and saxo-
phone. In fact, he used to play
for the Western Marching Mus-
tang Band, as well as others.
To teach was his goal and he
has seven classes to which he
teaches history and one econ-
omics class.
Mr. Higgs is just beginning
his career so we wish him luck.
He, himself, said, "It's what
you learn after you know it all
that counts", and with this as a
motto he is sure to be success-
ful.
"Marge, where did you go on
your holiday?" an English girl
asked her friend. "Majorca,"
replied Marge. "Majorca,
where's that?" "I don't know,"
replied Marge, "I flew."
MODERN MOPPET
Modem Moppet is the new-
est look for the modern
miss.
The CUT: Three inch len-
gth on top and longer at
the sides, very short back
hair, shaped close to the
nape.
The SET: Use Jumbo rol-
lers for the top, aimed
away from the angled-part
as shown. Smooth the back
down with setting lotion
and tape into place. Same
for side-swept bangs &
cheek curls.
The BRUSH-OUT: Brush
up, then back, giving each
wayward curl aback-brush-
ing for body. Sweep bangs
across the brow, and flip
the cheek-curls in a devil-
may-care look. Tuck the
rest of the side curls be-
hind the ears . . and a-
way you go,
The School Bus Driver
By STANLEY J, NIQUSBR,
School Bus Driver, Mid-Prairie Schools, Wellman, Iowa,
In that big yellow bus sits a Alan made 0f "steel"
With 'his foot on the throttle and his hand on the wheel,
His eye, at all times, he must keep Qn the road
To see that no danger approaehes his load.
His mind, from his driving, should have no clotractions.
By unnecessary commotion, or student's rude actions,
He's your friend, dear students, so treat him as such
And I'm sure he'll appreciate it very much,
Your "kids" are in school, wIhIle riding the bus
So teach them, .dear parents, to not raise a fuss,
And if they will all be -quietly seated
I'm sure that each morn, with a smile they'll be greeted,
We know they are young, full of zip, vim and vigor
Which makes driving problems so very much bigger.
In spring, fall and winter, through rain, snow, or hail
We'll drive them to school and home without fail,
To those on the road, this bus is no stranger
So please, Mr. Motorist, don't cause any danger
To the lives of those children, so young and so fine
For some may be yours and some may be. mine.
Our signals are given by flashing a light
An arrow means turn—to the left,—or the right
Two flashers and sign means STOP—without doubt
While someone gets in, or someone gets out,
Don't pass when you see that bright yellow line
Or you may end up with a ticket and fine.
It's for your safety, too, these laws have been made
But, it's left up to you to see they're obeyed.
So pause in your haste, for a moment, or two
For some child's life may depend upon you
To stop, for an instant, till the road has been crossed
Then his name won't be found among those who've been lost.
When some careless driver disregards that sign
With naught but his own selfish thoughts on his mind
And drives right on by, giving no thought nor care
To some Mother's children who were crossing there,
So think, Mr. Driver, as you drive down the road
And see that bus driver with his priceless load
Of the times you have wondered just how you would feel
If you sat in that bus as the man at the wheel,
We love all those children and drive with great care
We'll do all in our power, their young lives to spare.
Then, for their safe keeping, give thanks to our God
That not one lay sleeping somewhere "neath the sod."
(Sent in by Wes Paulin, bus ,driver, Bluevale).
