Seminar Gives Glimpse of Work ti Facing The U.N. BY RUTH SINCLAIR AND ARCHIE MCDONALD A United Nations Seminar, I sponsored by the London branch I of the United Nations Associa- I tion, was held at Huron College on the University of Western lOntario campus from June 27- 30. One hundred and twenty- five Southern Ontario secondary school students attended the seminar; its theme was "La France Seule Toujours". The two students representing Wing- ham and District High School I were Archie McDonald of Brus- sels, and Ruth Sinclair of Wing- ! ham. A scheduled programme for every day included lectures by United Nations and Canadian Government authorities, such as External Affairs Minister Paul Martin, and M. Jacques Rom- melhardt of the French Embas- sy, as well as Tom Schatzky, Youth and Education Secretary of U. N. Association. For discussion purposes the seminar was divided into six groups of approximately 20 each. Eight questions were handed our and the groups were asked to come to some conclu- sion on each subject. Movies were shown to supplement the lectures given by the speakers and to provide extra informa- tion for discussion. Each night a special activi- ty was planned for the Seminar group; for instance, the stud- ents travelled by bus to Strat- ford to see "Henry VI" . On the last evening the City of London provided a civic banquet for the students at which James M. Minifee, CBC correspondent spoke. The entire Seminar was under the direction of Dr. J. W. Gwynne-Timothy, who ac- claimed this group "The latest stayer-uppers —. Attending the Seminar was an unforgettable experience. It was the hope of the U.N. As- sociation in running the Semin- ar to give the students a glimpse into some of the work and prob- lems of the U.N. and also to equip them in leading a dy- namic U.N. and International Affairs Club in their own com- munities.

BY VIRGINIA MURRAY •12A Again we pay tribute to an- other new member of the W, D. H. S. teaching sta ff. This tim e it is Mr. T. Wilson who hails from a farm outside of neigh- bouring Lucknow. There, he grew up, and with completion of his secondary school education, he attended the University of Western On- tario for three years and obtain- ed his B.A. In continuance of his education he then went to Althouse College of Education for one year. During this course he had the opportunity to prac- tise teach; 2g in various schools and admitted tIlar Wingham High School compared quite well with the others. He is at the present time teaching mathematics to four- year 9 and 10 students and WILSOM physics and science to four and ; five-year grade 11 students. He conceded that he chose these subjects because they are ;perhaps the most practical sub- jects being taught in the high !school system. ; When asked for his opinion of our school set-up he stated Ihis approval of the four-year land vocational courses we offer. !These provide interest for the students who are not attracted Ito the five-year program. Mr. Wilson's interests lie mainly in the field of music. (He plays the piano, the trum- pet and occasionally he trans- j forms into the organist at ;church. Farming takes second- { ary standing to his summer I courses. We wish this promising young man every success in his teach- ling career, BY JOAN CANTELON, GR.11 From amongst the teaching staff of W.D.1-1,S, we find a native of British Guiana, Mr. Haly. He received his elemen- tary schooling mainly in Eng- land and his first three years of high school in British Guiana and the rest in England. He went to McGill University in Montreal for four years inter- mittently and went through for a chartered accountant. He spent six years in B.G. before he came to Canada to teach. At present he teaches bookkeeping and business prac- tire. He has never taught be- fore except substitute teaching in Winnipeg, He worked in different busi- nesses in B.G., England and Canada, most of his experience being after his university educa• tion. His main reason for teaching is because he always wanted to be a teacher, so when he came to Canada he decided to have a try. At university he received his B.A., his degree in Political Science and a degree in Philos- ophy. To be a good teacher is Mr. Haly's main aspiration, His dislikes are students who aren't interested in learning, yet are in school, He says they are the hardest people to teach, His hobbies are golf, tennis, sailing, squash, English rugby, field hockey and he enjoys read- ing. Mr. Haly's philosophy of life is to find something you enjoy and do it to the best of your ability. Travelling is Mr. Haly's highlight of life, He has travelled to Europe, West In- dies, Canada and. England. Mr. Holy thinks Ontario's educational system is excellent and he says it trys to meet the needs of every student and to offer them something. He enjoys our school and all in it. From all of us at W.D. H, S. we wish him success in his teaching career as well as a long stay at our school.
