What happens at .euchre conferences?
(By Dorothy Williams)
• For many years„I have heard
about school trustees attending
eqnferences and I often wondered
what, they learned and -if the
conference was of any value Last
week, I finally found out what
does happen when I was'asked to
accompany Marian Zinn to a
conference in Niagara Falls. It
was a conference on community
education. We thought it would
be beneficial to 'Huron County,
since we are presently involved
with the curriculum evaluation.
We left snowy Huron County at
9:30 ' Thursday morning and
returned at 5:30 Saturday
afternoon. We arrived at Brock
Sheraton Hotel in plenty of time
for the opening session which was
scheduled for 2 p.m. Round
tables were set up and, everyone
sat anywhere they wished, which
resulted in a real mixture at every
table. At our table, we had two
volunteer parents from Niagara,
who taught English' to 'new'
Canadians, two instructors from
Humber College, a mother from
Toronto, an elementary principal
from North York. Originally this,
young man came from Trinidad
and he was One of three vice-
principals in his school.
Thursday evening, we were
guests at a wine and cheese party r
in the Foxhead, where we met a
lady from Winnipeg and Bruce
"Shitiv', principal at Seaforth
'Secondary School: We were
entertained th ere by a group
called the "Carousels" from St.
Catharines. They presented two
performances depicting early
days of Canadian 'history. The
first was a . take-off of a council
meeting Of the 1,000's and the
latter was a harvest process
showing grain-cutting by cradle
and ,secondly, an early threshing
bee
Their research was accurate,
because as surely as the
threshing machine would arrive,
it invariably broke down at our
place. This one did toe, and the
men all trooped in for dinenr two
h ours early and the poor wife was
in a dilemma. Being a true
pioneer, she rustled up some food
ip a hurry and soon the men were
Back at• *irk, feeding in the
sheaves, building a straw mow
and carrying grain in a bushel
measure. Their third performance
was one where they involved the
audience and one that they would
use• in a classroom. It could be
used in any classroom from
Kindergarten to 13, depending on
how long or short they wanted to
make their , chanti. This group
was 'Working on a LIP grant and
hope to tour the Western Canada
this summer.
Friday 'was a full day with
seminars starting at 9 a.m. and
running until 4:30 p.m. Marian
and A tried to attend different
classes, so that we could
exchange notes and information
later Late Friday afternoon, I took
advantage of the bus trip to the
museum at Niagara-on-the-Lake
where we were given an outline of
its founding and continuing
progress and its contribution' to
the early peninsula history.
Friday evening was reserved
for the minister of education whO
was late arriving because his
plane was grounded in London by
fog and he had to drive by car.
The waiting period was hastily
filled in by their contacting a
group of Croation singers, who
sang and played some native.
songs and some popular songs
Saturday morning, after a
standup continental breakfast, I
-attended a seminar conducted by
a director from Napanee. He
spent some time describing what ,,
he called a parents advisor/,
committee where parents got
together and discussed
curriculum or any topic they
wished and submitted their
findings to the board for their
consideration. Another principal
explained his method of
contacting parents by a network
of phone calls. tle had two grade
mothers whom he could contact,
who in turn made three calls and
these in turn made four calls and
in this way a message could be
sent throughout every household
in a matter of minutes. This man'
also had volunteer 'mothers who
would host a coffee party. We
would give them a ` topic to
discuss and after the party, the
mother 'would call in with the
feed-back that he requested. The
whole topic was community
involvement.
Topics of seminars which I
attended were, The role of a
trustee, The role of a principal,
parental involvement in
educational decision making, the
museum as .a community
education resource information,
critics and good friends and the
case for- active school comnitinity
involvement. By Saturday noon,
we had reached the saturation
point, so after lunch, we headed
for home. It took all that time 'to
realize what this new and
wonderful idea was all about:
For those -of us, who- attended'
or taught in' a rural school, it
wasn't new at all. I well
remember returning to school
after- supper and e tering a
different world, desk laall along
the walls boards all clew, floor all
oiled, and the only friendly sign
that hadn't changed was the
smell. We' held concerts,
quiltings, ,card parties, shovlrers
and the school was the centre of
sour rural community. Now, they
are trying to make their large,
sprawling city schools into
community schools and they are
even trying out something else
that's new - a core curricylum.
- We tried to tell-some of those
intellectual directors and co-or-
dinators and superintendents and
planning associates and chairmen
and researchers and consultants
who were as thick as flies, that
this was nothing new to us. It was
just the completion of the cycle
and we are right back where we
started 30 years ago.
What they are trying to do is
make use of classrooms, which
will soon be closing, due to a drop
in the birthrate and utilize the
schools more than eight or nine
hours 'a day, The cities are
catching up to ..the country and
small centre schools at last. Look
at our Clinton Public School. It is
in use almost every night as are
many other Huron County
schools. And this in my• opinion is
what the conference was all
about. Was it wOrthwhle? Yes, I
would say so, because now we
knovv that we already have
community schools -a. brand new
term.
For the past Rine days we've
enjoyed total freedom 'from the
pains of school. Now we are back.
There are roughly 5Q slayer left
(school days, that is). One term '
and we're free. Let's hope the
time passes quickly.
Last year's yearbook is almost
ready to send, There are three
pages left to type and a handful of
pictures to glue in then it's
complete. It should be back by
June. Thank you, for your
patienc

Visit France? Thats just what
32 members , of SDHS did last
week and. according to one'
'student-Deb Van. Vliet, the trip
was fantastic.
During their seven day tour the
students along with their
chaperones d-Mr s.,
Mr. and Mrs. Renshaw and Mr.
and Mrs. Russel, managed to see
not only France but were able to
catch glimpses of four other
countries, Ireland (from the
plane), Spain, Monaco and Italy.
While in France they were able •
to take a train trip right across the
country which allowed them • to
see a good part of it.
Home base was nice' and while
in Paris they saw the famous Eifel
Tower. Other events worth noting
were the tour of a French perfume
factory in Grasse and the fact that
they had the chance to dip their
—feet info the Meditteranean.

many of those who appeared tebe

Finally, there was the tour of

most about this' country?' They
very tiny, single lane 'streets.; the
fact that you could manage to see
the majority of the small country
while standing in one place, and
the crazy.. driving.
While' in 1Monaco, they were
also able to see both the castle,
-which houses the current royal
family; • and the,_ impressive
changing of the guards outside of
the palace. And now. Well, the
students are back' at home with
memories which just 'might
enable them to . get through 'the
