Clinton News-Record, 1977-06-16, Page 2PAGE 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1977
Being of that vintage era
when we watched election
results come on the TV screen
without the aid of a com-
puterized projection - I'm all
for going back. It was more
entertaining, even if perhaps
the outcome was inevitable,
to watch the standings build
up without having the final
result on the screen all
evening as a projection.
And sometimes even the
perfect make mistakes. Many
,readers will recall the United
States presidential election
between Governor Thomas
Dewey and Harry S. Truman
when a New York newspaper
came out with a banner
headline announcing
Truman's defeat and the
result was just the opposite.
Planters on the main street
- and they are looking better
every day. Many of the
merchants are giving them
plenty of T.L.C. From the
observation platform of the
News -Record we see Elwin
Merrill tending those by the
library park which might
otherwise suffer from lack of
attention.
And now that our Hor-
ticultural Society. have the
hanging pots in place on the
lamp standards we can feel
justly proud- of our main
street - it can hold its ,owl,
with any other small town.
While mentioning the pots -
all 87 of them, this year,
besides planting same, some
of the members of,,the society
undertook to repaint each
one.

Separate Board cancels some academic positions
by Wilma Oke
The Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board will
eliminate the position of one of its two
academic superintendents this summer
it was learned at the board session in
Dublin Monday night. The decision for
elimination was made in committee -of -
the -whole May 16.
This will leave the board with The
positions of a director of education, one
academic superintendent and one
superintendent of business.
The board is presently discussing the
hiring of a director of education to
replace John Vintar who resigned April
25, effective July 31. Mr. Vintar has been
with the board since it was formed in
1969.
Mr. Vintar will take a position as
superintendent of schools with the
Dufferin-Peel Roman Catholic Separate
School Board.
The two academic superintendents
with the board now are Joseph Mills,
superintendent of special services and
W illiam Eckert, superintendent of
program.
Jack Lane is the superintendent of
business and finance.
The board will hold a special meeting
in committee -of -the -whole in camera
Wednesday night to discuss the re-
organization of the administration staff
and to finalize the details of advertising
for a director, such as the salary to offer.
The board has advertised in the
Huron -Perth system for a new director
but to date no application has been
received.
Ron Gladding, Stratford, co-ordinator
of the Family Life committee presented
the Grade 8 Family Life revised
curriculum. He was invited to speak at 9
p.m. but was kept waiting along with the
press representative until 9:50 p.m.
while the board met in committee of the
whole having started at 8 p.m.
Mr. Gladding said his initial
preparation of a basic curriculum, with
input from administration, was made to
a committee of teachers and the religion
consultants who made a number of
changes, additions and deletions. Then it
was taken to a committee of parents who
represented the two counties. They
made more changes. Then it was
presented to the priests of the deanery
who also made changes and gave their
moral support of the `curriculum. The
board tabled the report for the next
meeting to give themselves time to study
it before giving final approval.
The following teachers were hired,
From up here
by Shelley McPhee
Four years ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I cried. This
was the last and final step into adulthood and for me the
first step into an identity crisis. What would I do with my
life? Where would I go? Could I get a job? Should I begin
planning my trousseau and collecting bridal clippings from
magazines?
Somehow I survived through those traumatic moments of
becoming an adult and began searching through a series of
career opportunities, with my prime objective, to be
famous. Famous at what I don't know, but I figured to make
growing up worthwhile my name would have to become a
household word.
Alas, I'm just about to celebrate my twenty-second bir-
thday and identity crisis, part two.
Although I've made it far enough to begin a career I'm
suddenly realizing that my chances of becoming a star are
slim. I don't think I'll ever be on the cover of People
magazine, or drink tea with Queen Elizabeth. I'm riot likely
to compare notes with Woodward and Bernstein or sing with
Barbra Streisand. Prime Minister Trudeau is unlikely to
phone me for advice and Truman Capote is not going to ask
me the spelling of a word.
I now have to face the fact that reaching the magical age
of adulthood does not give me special rights or added op-
portunities. I'm still intimidated by the -same people, I still
make the same mistakes, no one is bowing at my feet and
the only recognition of my age I receive is when someone
notices my gray hair.
After some thought and some birthday drinks I decided
that I have done some things that I wouldn't trade with
anyone, for they are uniquely me. I once received the famed
Citizenship Award when I graduated from public school and
I felt like an academy aw rii winner. In high school friepds
were always asking for my Mae West and Streisand im-
personations. I'm .probably one of the few people to fall flat
on their faces on downtown Yonge Street during Toronto's
rush hour. I've gotten up the nerve to tell someone off
without crying and then learned to say hello to them later. I
can proudly say that I've had my name in print and seen
myself on television.
The point is, I've done things that are important to me and
had experiences that I wouldn't even trade with Liz Taylor.
More reassuring,, and calming, I've accepted anonymity
and now I can finapy go to the movies without craving to be
in the arms, of .Paul Newman or in the shoes of Faye
Dunaway.
