Wareham graduated from South Huron District High School in 1961, having spent his high school years in Ontario and most of his elementary school years in New- foundland. The Newfoundland -born superin- tendent has a degree in chemistry from Western University and a Masters degree in education through the University of New York. The introduction of a Roman Catholic high school in Huron provides a challenge to the public board of education, said Wareham. "That will affect enrolment," he said. "Our public secondary schools, we've got to make the community aware of the excellence which is provided in schools like SDHS." Graduates of Huron County high schools have gone on to success in many fields and some have become senior corporate executives, he said. Technology offers another chal- lenge for the school system. The new principal at Seaforth District High School will be Jim Moore, of Seaforth. He is a former teacher and vice-principal of SDHS. i Dr. Gerald Hany Dr. Elizabeth van Maanen are pleased to announce that they have assumed the dental practice of Dr. Cyril Lacko at 40 Franklin St., Seaforth.
