Blyth Recreation Committee Ramirez earns scholarship Popular photographer Harvey McDowell and his wife Ferne cele- brated their 50th wedding anniver- sary with a reception at Blyth United Church May 15. The couple married May 22, 1943 at the bride's parents' home in Westfield. Feme is the daughter of Alva and Della McDowell and Har- vey is the son of Marvin and Mary McDowell. Attendants for the couple were Norma Nethery of Hamilton and Graeme McDowell of Westfield. The couple honeymooned in Nia- gara Falls before returning to their home on the 6th concession of East Wawanosh where they farmed for many years. As well, Mr. McDow- ell was a photographer. The couple also had six children. Later, the McDowells moved to Blyth where they continued their photography business. A Blyth youth has been awarded a full scholarship to attend a presti- gious Canadian secondary school. John Ramirez, a Grade 11 Cen- tral Huron Secondary student, has been accepted by Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific in British Columbia. He was one of only 3 students from Ontario which the school accepts. In all, the school accepts only 250 students in total from countries around the world. Twenty-five of these students are Canadian. JOHN RAMIREZ 4Hers discuss By Mandy Machan The North Huron Vet Club's third meeting took place May 13 at Blyth Vet Clinic. We talked about our achievement program which will be held early in July. The topic was a discussion of the secondary parts of the respiratory system. We talked about the exchange that occurs between the oxygen and carbon dioxide. We welcomed Paula Burnett, a student of the Vet College to our meeting. This time we looked at three lungs of cattle, a calf, a young animal and an adult. We opened the adult lung. He heads out there September 6 and if he passes the final exam at Lester B. Pearson, he will receive an International Baccalaureate Degree, which John says is recog- nized by universities throughout the world. Being accepted by the school came as a bit of a shock to John because counsellors at CHSS had warned him he would be lucky just to get an interview by the accep- tance board. Now that he's been accepted, he's keen to begin learning with the world-view philosophy the school offers. "The school teaches similar sub- jects to most high schools but at a higher academic level," explains John. "And they teach subjects on the basis of how they affect the world." The school's goal is to promote world peace through interaction with people from other countries, races and creeds, he says. The school itself doesn't discrim- inate on any basis, including finan- cial status. Every student accepted by the school is awarded two year's tuition, worth over $34,000. Though he hasn't decided on a career, he's thinking about studying sciences, diplomatic work or possi- bly music in university following his schooling in British Columbia. Besides being accepted at Lester B. Pearson, John also won a Cen- tral Huron Secondary School 'Award of Excellence' recently. His contributions scholastically and his participation in school activities are exceptional. He's been involved with debat- ing, the student newspaper, the choir, the band, Reach for the Top, Amnesty International and student's council. John is also director of the school choir and accompanist for the school band. 50 years!
