THE MODEL on the left was Robert Tiffin's gimmick as a
vote getter. Perhaps the live model, Jackie Goldrich, is
a Tiffin booster too.
vious to coming to Wingham in
the fall of '54, held two other
teaching positions at Beams-
vine and Arnprior. Other than
home economics, the subject
which has dominated her car-
eer, she has taught history and
English.
On being asked her com-
ments about the teaching pro-
fession today, she stated that
this career is a most desirable
one, mainly because of the
contacts the teacher makes with
tomorrow's citizens. She also
believes that the equipment and
hrist mas carols
fill the air with joy.
We echo their message.

One of the better known
faces around the high school is
that of Mr. Horwood, whose
life began at a place called
Mimic° which is in Metropoli-
tan Toronto. It was here that
he received his elementary and
secondary school education. Af-
ter graduating from high school,
he attended O. A. C. at Guelph
for four years. The next year
he went to Toronto where he
majored in Mechanical Engin-
eering. In 1960, after Mr.
Horwood had completed this
part of his education, he came
to W.D.H.S. During the past
six years he has taught math
every year to various grades
and for two years he taught
Grade 11 physics.
He teaches math because he
is interested in it and he likes
it. He finds that it also can be
a lot of fun for often the ans-
wers of some of the students are
quite humorous.
The highlights of Mr. Hor-
wood's life are his marriage and
his two children, (a boy and a
girl).
Mr. Horwood likes the
school system and the school
itself which is shown by his
statement, "I think that it is
one of the best." I am glad to
report that his comments on the
students were also quite favor-
able.
His outside interests include
the Gideons, the cadets and
teaching Sunday School. Ile
BY ROBERT WORRALL 11A
A very highlighted career
has marked the life of one of
the veteran teachers of the
W,D.H.S. staff.
Miss Comber was born in a
small resort-town called Bob-
caygeon, north of Lindsay.Dur-
ing the summer she still main-
tains a home there and also
helps out in the hometown li-
brary.
Surprisingly enough, she re-
ceived her elementary educa-
tion at a boys' school which her
father built, previous to the
first war. She continued her
secondary education after her
entrance examinations, at St.
Joseph's Convent in Lindsay.
Although an Anglican herself,
she feels that this contact with
the Catholic religion deepened
and enlightened her under-
standing of this denomination.
She completed her secondary
education at the Bishop Strau-
chan School in Toronto. She
then went on to St. Hilda's
College (part of Trinity Col-
lege), where she entered the
Department of Household Sci-
ence course, and where she re-
ceived her B.A. degree. Later
she received her B. Paed. by
summer and winter study.
Miss Comber has been teach-
ing for thirty years, and pre-

BY SALLY GALBRAITH
The Student Council, after
a great deal of consideration
has decided what to do with the
chocolate bar money. A bur-
sary of $200.00 is to be given
to a student having received his
Secondary Diploma with 60/0
or more and continuing his edu-
cation, and someone who real-
ly needs this money. The stud-
ents will be given, an applica-
tion form to fill out and a sel-
ected committee will decide
who receives this.
The Council came up with
some other excellent ideas but
because of the new school they
would not be of any great use.
Therefore the remaining mon ,
ey is to be left to support other
Councils.
I hope the Council's decis-
ion is satisfactory to all and we
would like to thank everyone
for supporting us,
Mandate: what girls are al-
ways trying to get,
finds that these activities plus
teaching, keep his time will
occupied.
When he was asked what his
dislikes were his reply was gum
chewing.
Mr. Horwood has proven
himself quite successful as a
teacher so far in life and I am
sure that all the students of
W.D.H. S. hope that Mr. Hor-
wood will stay at W.D.H.S.
and continue trying to get the
"New Math" across to us.
the variety of courses the school
offers add to the intelligence,
preparation, and above all, the
contentment of today's student,
and that this variation in school
courses is eventually going to
build up our country.
She remarked that today's
teenagers are comparatively
loud in comparison to those of
former years, but she believes
the reason lies in the fact that
they now have so much more
money. She doesn't, however,
object completely to today's
so-called fads, but on the con-
trary, thinks that this is a rath-
er innocent means of entertain-
ment, and in many cases keeps
teenagers from getting into ser-
ious trouble.
Her outside interests lie
mainly in raising pets and grow-
ing plants. A probably second-
ary interest lies in her home-
town library, which she hopes
to organize in the near future.
