An honor student of Grade XI
hazel -eyed Marlene . Walsh , ha
been chosen school queen of CIin
ton District Collegiate Institute.
On Saturday with 43 otherg
School "Queens" she visited Lo
don and,toured the Free Pre"_
newspaper, radio and TV station
Marlene is the daughter of Mr,
and Mrs, Ben Walsh, Blyth,; an
is a. keen •basketball- player. , Sta
has her goal set on becoming
high school teacher,'.
Marlene: feels that Canada of
fers all the freedoms to• her pe
ple, and that Canadians from tithe
countries ° as well as those wh
count many generations from(thi
land may find the apportunitie
here to work and play side by side
"Our heritage is preserved in
homes," she says; "and here par
ents and 'their children should not
each go his own way, but should'
form one closely knit unit"
';The mother in the home is the
present homemaker," she feels,
But she' raises our homemakers
foz the. future generation."
School is important to Marlen`e,"
who has ranked high in her oias
"les,' She urges that parents and
friends take a ,real interest in
school affairs and try to under-
stand school problems. It is the
interest shown by parents and
teachers, which guides young peo-
ple toward greater achievement,
she maintains.
"A pupil who works hard, will
achieve his goal," she says, 'This
in turn will produce a better citi-
zen and a better country."
Marlene looks at current events
in a very practical fashion..
"Another way to produce better
adults for tomorrow is by familiar-
izing today's youth with tomor-
row's history. If students were
made to realize this, I think they
would develop an interest in world
affairs. Current events should be
discussed in our schools by active
current affairs discussion clubs.
"If one can't recognize the pit-
falls --one cannot avoid them,"
she continues.
She emphasizes the part that
newspapers, radio-. and television
play in bringing world affairs in-
to the student's life.
Sports, she feels, are another
way of teaching young people the

"It gives the girls, as well as
the boys of the school a goal in
school affairs," she states. "I am
particularly proud to be chosen
