CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1985—Page 5
eacher is sorry to leave
SEAFORTH - Coinciding with the end of
this school year will be the retirement of one
of Seaforth Public School's most loved
teachers.
June Boussey of Clinton, has taught there
since the construction of the school in 1953,
spending the past 19 years as its
kindergarten teacher.
"I could go on for another nine years," she
says. "But I think it's best for the kids (that
I retire).
"They need someone young and lively,
like I used to be."
She says she loves the excitement of
teaching, and her biggest thrill is, "When
I'm out on the street and one of (my former
students) remembers me."
Three of her former students are now
teachers in Huron County, she says. There
may be more; she's not exactly sure.
Having taught at the school for more than
a generation, Mrs. Boussey has seen the
children of her first students in her
classroom.
"Each child is special," she says. "I
never bring up the past or talk about what
morn and dad did."
The warnings she's heard about students
she was about to get have proven largely un-
true.
"I laugh when someone says, 'Wait until
you get so-and-so."There are," she says "no
holy terrors."
If she's noticed one difference in today's
kids, it's that they know more, says Mrs.
Boussey, "i Thanks to television, they have
a much wider vocabulary and much broader
knowledge."
She earned her teaching certificate at the
London Normal School, where she
graduated in 1948. Her first teaching post
was in Windsor, where she remained for
three years.
Paul Carroll, who taught with Mrs.
Sousse' for five years and was her principal
for another four, describes her as, "Ex-
tremely dedicated to meeting the needs of
her students."
He also says her best quality is her ability
to adapt to changing times and new teaching
methods.
She was so committed to her work, said
Mr. Carroll, that there were times when he
had to engage in some "arm -twisting" to get
her to take some time off.
In the early '60s, she took time off to raise
her own family, sons Bill, who's .now 33 and
Stephen, 21. She also served as a trustee on
the local school board from 1964 until 1966.
As a result of her life-long interest in
public speaking, and to provide a parting
gift to the school, Mrs. Boussey has set up a
bursary fund to encourage students to in-
volve them in that activity. Eligible
students will begin receiving prizes from the
fund in September 1987.
She sums up her philosophy about
teaching -about life in general -with a quote
from George Bernard Shaw: " We don't
cease to play because we get old; we get old
because we cease to play."
"I love the kids and the school. And I love
the excitement it initiates." 't'
