The Association's Council
representative, Mil. Helesic,
attended a leadership confer-
ence in London on March 29th
and was most enthusiastic about,
the projects under discussion.
She felt it viould be pxo fitable
for more members to attend
these meetings.
Jack Kopas introduced the
guest speaker, Robert Ritter
vice-principal of the F. E. Ma-
dill Secondary School. Mr. Rit-
ter joined the Wingham school
staff 1'1 years ago as a teacher
of English and Geography and
was appointed vice-principal in
1959. He was described as a
teacher°who is vitally interestid
in the development of the whole
person. mentally, spiritually
and physically.
Mr. Ritter asked the question,.
"What is counselling?" and an-
swered that ideally it is a re-
lationship based on the assump-
tion that some discussion of the
matter will be helpful. Usual-
ly, he said, the counsellor is in
a much better position to advise
a course of action than, a parent,
but sometimes a student tunes
a directorout, just as he does a
parent., Unless a student takes
an interest himself, no progress
can be made. The counsellor
must be sharply conscious of the
needs of the pupil and the ulti-
mate, goal is to help the pupil
make his own decision.
The speaker said there is a
great need- for ,counselling in
public school and should start
early in the pupil's school life.
Mr. Ritter said that the role of
the counsellor in public school
should be that of a co-ordinator
whose task would be to help new.
teachers, assist in the selection
and placement of children in
classes and assist parents in the
guidance they offer their young-
sters.
Mr. Ritter dealt with the
courses 'which are now av ail -
able:

able: the five-year courses in
arts and science, business and
coke, science, technol-
ogy and Stades. The ur* year
prop= fits the student for
further training in the business
woldd. A lively question period
followed Mr. Ritter's address.
Mrs. K. Wood thanked the,
speaker for hie talk, mention-
ing that 1t was of particular
value to the parents. of pupils
in grade 8.

ident Alex Graham presided.
Guest speaker was District

Mount Forest, whose subject was
"What It Means to Me to Be a
Lion. "
A few thoughts expressed by
the D. G.• in his speech -were:
"Those who have gone before
have left a golden legacy of
Llonism for us leo follow. "• He
urged every Lion to go beyond
his commitment, doing more
than he is called upon to do.
He said: "Stoop down and grasp
the opportunities of Lionism.
Don't saythat you are sorry you
didn't do a little more. Let us
all rededicate ourselves to the
long road of Lionism, and when
you go home tonight. ask your-.
self, 'What have I done for the
Howick Lions' Club?' "
He concluded his address
with the poem:
Will you win the day or lose it?
Will it be well, or poorly
spent?
Will you leave a ray of sunshine
Ora scar of discontent?
When you lie down in the even-
ing,
Do you think your God will
Whiitiir.
