Clifford Coultes retiring
Cliff Coultes of Belgrave, an
English teacher at Listowel District
Secondary School since 1970, is
retiring from teaching after 33
years in the profession.
The years have gone quickly for
the man who began his career at the
Chesley High School in 1959 fol
lowing "two hot summers" of
school at the College of Education
in Toronto.
Mr. Coultes later taught at Centre
Grey High School in Markdale
from 1961 to 1968 and Grey High
lands Secondary School in Flesher-
ton from 1968 to 1970.
Early in his career business, eco
nomics and law were also on his
curriculum, as well as teaching
English.
In and out of school, Mr. Coultes
is famous for his performing abili
ties, having often been called upon
to entertain with recitations he's
gathered throughout the years.
His students know him well for
his portrayal of Merculio's last
sword fight and death in "Romeo
and Juliet" and for donning a
nightgown and effectively becom
ing Lady Macbeth in the sleep
walking scene from "Macbeth".
At the school year-end assembly,
he, along with a few students, per-
formed the scene form "Romeo and
Juliet" for one last show.
He's taken his public speaking
ability and assisted many students
in perfecting their own as well,
encouraging them to enter local
oratorical competitions.
He has gotten the greatest satis
faction from his career though and
enjoys seeing his students get out
in the world and make lives for
themselves. He remains in touch
with many of them.
"Their youthfulness is stimulat
ing for those of us who are getting
over the hill," he says.
Although he doesn’t have any
specific plans for his retirement,
Mr. Coultes says he won't be idle.
He still lives on his family farm at
Belgrave and plans to remain there,
perhaps pursuing an interest in
shorthorn cattle.
Purchasing a vehicle
is a big decision!
Let us help you
make the right one!
