South Huron District High School
Here's the thing. There are some things worth
spendirdg'money on whether as a government, a citi-
zen or an individual; one of these things is the ans.
Music, drama, visual arts and dance are essential
experiences ina young person's education and in
my opinion, are one of the components of a good
I school.
As we address fiscal restraint, bottom lines, roll-
backs and restructuring we would do well to
remember why it is the arts are good for the school
' and the school is good for the arts.
Not surprisingly, major North American
employers speak openly about their desire to have
employees who arc creative, imaginative and, of
course. literate.
' Richard Garin, the CEO of Binney and Smith, the Crayola
company, says it so well, "If we don't encourage people to develop
imagination and vision when they are young, why would we ever
expect them to exhibit those qualities as adults, in a pressure -packed
business career?
It's not just 'the ans for art's sake' or even appreciation of culture.
It may be that the economic future ... depends on our ...ability to
develop innovative ways of learning." Never mind the opportunity -
of practise teamwork on a very sophisticated scale as a member of a
concert band, a drama group or a dance troupe.
• The ans define us as a people, they challenge us to think, and they
help us give meaning to our short time here. Kids who come to
understand their own culture, through the arts, are far more likely to
want to know what everyone else is about by studying theirs. Quite
simply, the arts are good for the soul. • 1
During the next few weeks students at South Huron will he sharing
their artistic accomplishments with the public on a number of
occasions:
Sat. May 2 - 7:30 pm - Music CabaretNight
Fri. May 22 - 8:00 pm - "Blood Relations" .
A Drama Production
Tues. May 29 - 7:00 pm - Arts Night: A Display of
Student Visual Art Work
Please join us for any or all of these events. With our arca com-
munity as an.audience, we are sure to strut our best stuff.
Partnerships are beginning to spring up between the artists and
artisans, the theatres and the galleries in our county. For example,
our drama students and the Huron Country Playhouse will he partici-
pating together in a joint fundraiser in a few weeks at the Pincry
Provincial Park. Student trips from the school to the Playhouse and
to'the Stratford Festival are planned. Our teachers and students have
a great deal to offer the local arts and vice -versa.
One of the tnost deeply human and humane faculties is the power
of imagination and hence, creation. Let our arts classroom remind us
of that. Por it just might be there that our children, in their own
peculiar fashion, arrive at our collective truth.
