WINGHAM
BY GLORIA REED
A United Nations l'it.versity
Seminar was held at Huron Col-
lege on the L'iiiversity of West-
ern Ontario campus between
June 25th and June 2d. Among
the 125 representatives from
Ontario secondary schools were
two W.D.H.S,. students -- Mur-
ray Elston and Gloria Reed.
The seminar was conducted
by the London Branch of the
U.N. Association for the pur-
pose of giving young people an
accurate knowledge of the U.
N. organization -- its work and
problems, and to create interest
and enthusiasm in the world sit-
uations.
This year's theme was "Can-
ada and the U.N.'. with Profes-
sor Gwynne-Timothy and Mr.
Livingston of the Department
of External Affairs lecturing on
Canada's position in the dy-
namic United Nations Organiza-
tion and the world. Mr. Gwyn-
ne-Timothy spoke on Canada's
political foreign policy ("Grand
Politique") while Mr. Living-
ston stressed Canada's "Boy
Scout Activities' . that is what
Canada is doing to relieve hu-
man suffering throughout the
world. He mentioned the pro-
gram of grants, loans, and food
aids to foreign countries as well
as aid in the form of teachers
and doctors, giving the exam-
ple of Mr. Hildebrand, a teach-
er in West Samoa.
Other speakers were Professor
Hilborn, who spoke on the South
East Asian crisis; Dr. Wild,
Professor of Journalism at the
university; Mr. Anderson who
was for twenty years a member
of the permanent U. N. Secre-
tariat; and Captain Allen, who
just returned from Viet Narn
with impressive views of the
crisis from personal involve-
ment.
After each lecture the sem-
inar was divided into smaller
discussion groups in which most
of the problems and questions of
the world today, such as "Is the
U.S. involvement in Viet Nam
justified", "What are the possi-
ble solutions to the crisis?" and
"In the forseeahle future can
the U.N. be the basis of an ef-
fective world order?" were dis-
cussed.
Movies were shown in some
cases to supplement the lectures
and to provide extra informa-
tion for discussion.
Special activities planned
for the seminar included a tour
of the city of London pointing
out such places of interest as
the Art Gallery, the Military
Museum at Woolsley Barracks,
the Eldon House, once the cen-
tre of social and cultural life in
London. On the final evening
of the seminar, the City of Lon-
don provided a civic banquet
for the students at which Dr.
Gwynne-Timothy, professor of
history at U.W.O. and director
of the seminar was speaker,
Of course, during these few
days the students of the seminar
could not possibly solve all the
problems of today's complex
world but by expressing their
own ideas and listening to those
of others, enough conclusions
were arrived at to assure the
(fading?) generation that when
it is time to pass the torch on
to their successors -- the youth
of today, they can do so, con-
fident that the world of tomor-
row will be in capable hands.
Attending the seminar was
an unforgettable experience and
we would like to express our
sincere thanks to the school
board and Student Council for
making it possible.
Two weeks at
leadership camp,
Lake Couchiching
BY RENNAE MACKENZIE 12A
It was my privilege this sum-
mer to attend the Ontario Ath-
letic Leadership Camp at Lake
Couchiching for two weeks.
Campers from all over the
province of Ontario came to
learn and practise the skills of
varied sports and most import-
ant, to develop those qualities
of leadership that would make
us more valuable to our school,
as a centre for training in both
athletics and good sportsman-
ship.
My major activities were
swimming, tennis, and basket-
ball officiating as they were
compulsory. My options were
gymnastics and folk dancing
which I found most enjoyable.
Despite many constantly aching
muscles and plunges into an icy
lake I will always remember
my summer at 0.A.L.C., not
only for the many things I learn-
ed but also for the atmosphere
of keen enthusiasm and interest
in athletics; the virtues of
sportsmanship and fair play, and
the many friendships started
there.
I thank the school for the op-
portunity of attending such a
camp and partaking of its many
invaluable experiences which I
trust will be of some help to
them this year.

It's been a
hectic week
for everyone ,
It's hard to believe, but on
September 5th at 9:10 a.m.
classes at Wingham and District
High School began for another
year of hard workl The first
week of school is always hectic
but this year must have been
the worst. It's bad enough to
have 1,015 students, but it's
even worse when there isn't
enough room for all of us. No
longer do you meet your friends
in the hall, but also outside
when you're going to Room 209
or 208, the portable classrooms.
It was ,just as difficult for the
seniors to find our way around
last week as it was for the grade
niners. A friend of mine (who,
by the way, is in Grade 12) was
taking the class list to the of-
fice and she couldn't find the
office! ! However, all these in-
conveniences will be worth-
while when our school is com-
pleted.
I would'like to welcome the
new teachers and hope that
you will find your year a pleas-
ant one. As for the new stud-
ents, especially the grade nin-
ers, I would also like to wel-
come you to our high school.
Of course, you will be lost for
a week or two, but I know the
rest of us will help you find
your way around, if we aren't
lost ourselves! So cheer up,
kids, after all, there are only
165 school days left!
