Holmesville School hosted a workshop sponsored jointly by the Ontario Public School Me -n- Teachers - Federation and the Federation of Women Teachers Association of Ontario. Teachers from Brookside, Colborne, Holmesville, Queen Elizabeth, Robertson and Victoria elementary schools attended, as well as solve secondary t�•,nhPrs frn.,, (:TlCT Topic of the day was, —Discipline Strategies That Work", which was presented by Dr: Ed Pino of the Educational Consultant' Association Services from Denver, Colorado. Dr. Pino is a former teacher, principal and director of education. He was, for a time, in charge of United States education overseas, and has lectured throughout Canada and the U.S. His name appears in "Who's Who in America." Dr. Pino maintained that uniqueness should be one of the goals of education and warned educators against producing "assembly- line"°graduates. He challenged teachers to keep children busy in order to prevent boredom, which, Jie argued, is the cause of 90 percent of all discipline problems. He offered many new and interesting suggestions on' ac- complishing this. Dr. Pino's dynamic delivery combined with the timely topic, held the attention of the audience throughout the day, and provided stimulation to try his methods. Small attendance, great plays at GDCI BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Trigon '79 came and went without much notice -this weekend at G.D.C.I. The three evenings of one act plays, as presented by members of the G.D.C.I. drama club, drew only, small audiences each night. It was obvious that club members had worked hard at each of the plays and they deserved more than the appreciative applause that a few teachers„ some fellow students and a smat- tering of parents could give them. This year, drama club members tried something new. Four of the six plays presented were directed by drama 'club students themselves. Since six _plays were too long for one evening, the playbill was varied over each of the ___three evenings with four plays being presented per evening. Nobody Sleeps was a delightful comedy directed by student Allison Bain with Shawn Worse]] as stage manager. In this play, Greg Smith portrays a frustrated and not -too - clever burglar who stumbles into the wrong house to rob. He is con- fronted by' three sisters, played by Melanie Dustow, Lori Dykstra and Shirley Hall and their mother, played by Janice Robinson. -These women reduce him to a bundle of nerves and he leaves without taking a thing.. The Still Alarm, written in the style of a drawing -room comedy, was directed by students - Angela Carter and Beth Morris. 1 Laura Raithby and Suzanne Smith visit t together calmly in n hotel s room as the building burns down around them s in this zany play. Cheryl Main and Anne Smith play a couple of un- concerned firewomen who come to put out the blaze and Patrick Madden plays the bellboy who dutifully announces the fire in the first place. The Trysting Place, a more serious play set in a arge country hotel catering exclusively to he rich, was directed by t ii nt Terri Lounch with Jackie Meriam as tage manager. Terri Couch takes time out from her directing duties to apply some make-up to one of her actors, Andrew Ross. Terri directed The Trysting Place, one of six plays performed by members of the G.D.C.I. drama club during Trigon '79 last weekend. (Photo by Joanne Buchanan) This play revolves around various romances and stars Lisa Roske, Andrew Ross, Tammy Louch, Gillian Bain, Dean Doherty, Greg Wilson and the voice of Neil Coughlan. The World Tipped Over and Laying On Its Side was my personal favorite of the six plays. The acting was excellent with each member of the cast taking on several roles. ft was directed by student Sandra Gauley with assistance from Kevin Bundy and Patrick ,Murphy. These three also portrayed all the characters in the "play along with Anthony Renee Lortie, -Kevin Murphy) as he relives memories of his life in an• attempt to locate his lost soul. Once Upon A Playground featured the Lighting for all the largest cast of the six plays was handled by Jeff plays and was quite good., ., ykstra with assistance This play shows the from Shawn Worsell. cruelty' of children as Students working on they pick on one of their peers to hide their own weaknesses. "You're different. You don't belong," they repeatedly tell the girl with the funny nose, played by Debbie Shaddick. The cruel playmates are portrayed by Marilyn Cox, Sally Taman, Brenda Feagan, Jennifer, Harrison, Patti Grace and Darlene Moore with Lucia Zmekhol as the ring leader. Shawn Worsell and_ Ea:mon... Doorly also appear in the play. Impromptu, directe_d. by teacher Philip McMillan with Lou De Winter as stage manager, is a serious play revolving around four actors trying to im- provise a play. Thesis actors are played by provising by pretending to be something they're not and trying not to let their real selves show through.
