- Six members
•, of Auxiliary
enjoy conference
A very enjoyable and informative
day was spent in Exeter by six
members of the Auxiliary to Wing-
ham and District Hospital. The
day's events were led by chairman
of Region Two, Alice Moore of
Guelph. President's roll call was
answered by telling different ways
each hospital represented recog-
nizes Hospital Day. Several are cele-
brating by recognizing the volun-
teers, as is the Wingham area.
Julie Lee from Survival Through
' Friendship House in Goderich was
an informative speaker. The statis-
tics she gave made the members
shudder and vow to do more to
stop this horrifying offense in our
society.
Three workshops completed the
morning, with a choice of "Tray
Favors", "Drug Use and Abuse"
and "Break -Open Lottery". At the
luncheon, greetings were extended
from several dignitaries, including
Mary Lou Thompson, chairman of
Region Two Council.
A fashion show of spring clothes
was interesting afternoon entertain-
ment. The annual meeting of
Region Two followed, with installa-
tion of officers and the announcing
of the fall conference Sept. 25 in
Guelph.

C. Curzon works at WPS
through co-op education
By Christa Curzon
Hello, my name is Christa Cur-
zon. I am in my graduating year at
the F. E. Madill Secondary School
and am participating in the co-
operative education program at the
school. I have found it to be very
rewarding.
I am working at the Wingham
Public School, helping the school
secretary in the office.
My job is very interesting and I
am learning a lot. I am at the school
four mornings each week for a tonal
of 10 hours per week.
When I am at the school, I use the
computer a great deal of the time. I
usually type letters, newsletters,
agendas for meetings, minutes of
meetings, as well as stories and
songs.
I also use the typewriter a lot,
along with the ditto machine and
the photocopy machine.
My duties vary from day to day. I
collect the daily attendance from
each classroom, I answer the tele-
phone and take messages. I also
greet visitors to the school.
Sometimes I care for a child who
has been hurt and every Thursday I
type the "What's News" column
for the newspaper. I also place mail
for the teachers in their mailboxes.
I find that having something dif-
ferent to do every day is good
because I never get bored doing the
same things day in and day out.
My supervisor is Mrs. Nicholson
and I appreciate everything she has
taught me. She has always been
patient with me, even when I am
learning to do something new and
ask a lot of questions.
I have learned a great deal about
what goes on in the office of a full-
service school-. When I went to• the
Wingham Public School, I never
really knew what went on in the
office.
Now that I am on the other side
of the fence, I am amazed at how
much work Mrs. Nicholson is
expected to do.
I decided to enroll in co-operative
education because I wanted to learn
what it would be like to work in an
area in which I am interested.
It allows you to get a feeling
about what it is like to work in real
work. I also wanted to get hands-on
experience, which many people
never get a chance to do.
I have benefitted a great deal
from my experience. I have learned
how to complete tasks to the best of
my ability. Also, I have learned
how to deal with co-workers, chil-
dren and visitors to the school.
I have gained a great deal of
valuable information from my
experience at the public school.
1 feel that anyone considering
taking a co-op course should do so
because you will find it to be very
rewarding.
I thank (co-op program co-ordi-
nator) Jim Inwood very much for
all his help and a special thanks
goes to Mrs. Nicholson for allowing
me to learn, while having the
patience to teach me.
Also, I thank the staff at Wing -
ham Public School for all their help
and support. I feel like I am part of
their little family. Thanks, every-
one!
