Victoria Public School
honors retirin • 'teacher
The staff of Victoria Public School hosted
an evening to honour Donalda MacDonald,
who will be retiring at the end of June, for
her many years of dedicated teaching. Over
150 friends, family and colleagues gathered
at the Goderich Legion auditorium on June
10 to offer her their best wishes and convey
their fond memories of her years in educa-
tion.
She began her teaching career at S.S. No.
4, Ashfield (Lochalsh). She taught in
Uranium City, Saskatchewan and then
began teaching at Victoria in 1962. She held
several offices in the county Federation of
Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario.
The evening program consisted of a song
of tribute, a humourous skit depicting a
glimpse of her leisure hours and recollec-
tions of past events that were supplied by
family and friends. Her former principals,
Hal h Smith, Don O'Brien and John Kane
voic d their congratulations and corn -
me ted on situations they fondly remember
her by. Bill Linfield, principal at Victoria,
pres ted her with a gift on behalf of her
many ' iends. Her family surprise s her with
a beauti
Mrs. MacDonald thanked those who at-
tended and wanted to clarify that many peo-
ple stretched the truth in their recall of past
events. She was accompanied by all of her
family, including two daughters who flew'
from British Columbia just to be present at
this memorable occasion. She promised to
be around for many years to keep track of
former students, teachers and friends.

Board sets fusing poiicy for students
who want French language education
By Stephanie Levesque
It's either daily bussing or boarding for
those in Huron and Perth counties who want
French language education for their
children.
The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic
Separate Board set a policy at its June 10
meeting. on how it will provide access to
French language education for students in
its jurisdiction.
The superintendent of education, Gaeten
Blanchette, said the board is" now bussing
two Stratford s1uue,tt,a Lu Marguerite
Bourgeoys, a French school in Woodstock.
The French as a first language school is
not an immersion school. The difference is
that French immersion can be taken by
children who have no history of French.
French as a first language school, on the
other hand, is for students who are French
speaking,. or have parents who are French
speaking, or themselves or siblings have
previously attended a French school.
The board's policy allows for
transportation over 24 km. From that
distance ode, tue parents have the right Ati
have their children either bussed daily of
boarded. ''•
No costs have been set in the policy
because that is determined in individual
cases, said Blanchette.
Under 24 km, the board automaticaOy
transports the students daily, Blanchetge
said.
The board earlier decided not to set up tt'S
own French school, although French im-
mersion classes will be set up in Stratford
and Goderich for this September.
Gryseels leaves Huron for job with London board:
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The Huron County Board of Education's
superintendent of personnel will be leaving
at the end of August to take up a similar
position with the London Board of Educa-
I tion.
Peter Gryseels presented his resignation
to director of education Robert Allan on
Wednesday, June 5. Allan said the board
had been made aware of the possibility that
Gryseels may leave at the committee -of -
the -whole session on Monday, June 3.
Allan said an advertisement will be plac-
ed soon. He said that the board will actually
be looking for a personnel relations ad-
ministrator, Gryseels' original title before
he obtained his supervisory officers' papers.
The director said the board prefers that the
applicant have supervisory officers'
qualifications or working towards such
qualifications.
He said the position has a salary of about
$62,000.
Gryseels has been with the board for five
and a half years.

Taking into consideration that the school
board and its secondary school teachers are
at a sensitive stage in negotiations, Mr.
Allan said it is his personal hope that all ma-
jor contracts are tidied up before Gryseels
leaves. Negotiations are Gryseels major
task.
"That will take cornmitment from both
sides," said Mr. Allan.
Mr. Gryseels said the test of any decision
is to determine if you wohld make it again.
He said his decision to come to Huron was a
good one and he would do it again.
"I look back at my time with a lot of happy
memories," said Gryseels.
He noted that his new employer in
September has allowed that if the Huron
County board of education thinks its
necessary for Mr. Gryseels to continue
negotiations after September 1, they would
allow that. Whether or not that actually hap-
pens depends on the school board's hiring
procedure, said Gryseels.
This, said the superintendent, doesn't
leave the impression that he is walking ottt
in the middle of secondary school negotia-
tions.
Gryseels and his wife Veronica, and their
three children, Lynnette, Bryden-Anne and
Peter, will continue to live in Exeter.
