(photo by Mary Chessell) Christian School Society holds meeting On Tuesday, Sept. 6, the Clinton and District Christian School Society held its annual meeting in the meeting rooms of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church. The chairman, Mr. J. VanDyke, by choosing hymn 222, "Oh Give the Lord Whole Hearted Praise", and by reading Psalm 113, a passage which tells how God bestows His rich blessings upon those who fear and trust Him, set the tope for the evening. The tone was one of thanksgiving to God because He had in the past years so generously prospered not only the Christian School, but also those who had sacrificed to support it for so many years. The chairman's prayer called for the Lord's continued faithfulness in ' the coming year. One of the highlights of enthusiastic and well tended meeting was report by the board secretary, Cecil Bruinsma. He pointed out that this was the 16th year of the existence of the local Christian School. He spoke thankfully of the willingness .of school sup- porters to give their time and epergies in school activities and school upkeep. He spolcd.` enthusiastically about the new kindergarten class and of the recently acquired teachers to fill the vacancies since the last school year. The board has hired Mrs. Eva Roorda to fill in for the principal for four afternoons a week. The board has also hired Miss Elsina Van Den Berg to teach in grade one. She is, a native of New Zealand and a graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids. Finally to fill the vacancy created by the new this at - the You con be a millionaire for a day!

SOUTH 235.640 • kindergarten, the board has hired a Christian School graduate, Miss Judy Dater -11a from Blyth. She has had extensive training in the .nurtureof kindergarten and pre-school children. The secretary touched upon a rather abortive attempt by the board to reach, through the help of the provincial ombudsman, some kind of a satisfactory solution regarding government funding for the school. There was, he went. on to say, some government aid forthcoming in the form of a small grant to' private schools for the pur- pose of encouraging the teaching of French. . He closed his report on a positive note by pointing out that, as long as our future was in the hands of God, then whatever that future might he it would be a good one. The agenda called next for the election of new board members. The retiring members were from Blyth — Mervin Datema and f ro 01 Clinton — Cecil -Bruinsma, Peter Damsma and Johan Van Dyke. Elected from Blyth were: John Benja m ins from Clinton, Henry Baker, John Maaskant: and from Goderich, Evert Middel. After a brief intermission, the budget for next year ($182,000) was discussed and unanimously accepted. One member rose briefly to share his frustration with what he called the govern- ment's and the public's inability to see the injustice of the situation whereby sup- porters of a Christian school were expected to support, on their own, a school system which was necessitated by their religious convictions, _ and to support equally with those who used the public system, a public school whose use was denied them because of those same religious ' convictions. In the closing moments of the evening, the .members were informed that the school had begun on schedulethat same day with an enrolment of 188 pupils in grades one to eight and 27 pupils in kin- dergarten. - To adjourn the meeting, everyone sang the hymn "Oh. For a Closer Walk With Thee". The Reverend T. Hoogteen closed in prayer. Brucefield By Mrs. H.F.
