E. Madill Secondary School, Wingham. Congratulations to all these young men and women and good luck to them. It was Mary Humphries' birthday and the party girls, Viola Traviss, Marie Coutts, Anne Ryan, Audrey Hackwell and Marilyn McDonald, However, in response to questions from Seaforth-area trustee Charles Smith, both Gerth and director of education Lorne Rachlis left the door open for further closures, as well as other possible chan-ges. Gerth told Smith that that trustees should expect a more comprehensive accommodation report next fall, including the possibility of recommendations for change. And both he and Rachlis agreed one of those possible changes could be closure. Process put on hold travelled off to celebrate at the Fireside Cafe. A nice meal and afternoon was enjoyed by all.
