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.

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.
