IN MEMORIAM KOEHLER In loving memory of a dear mother and grand- mother Betty Koehler who passed away 10 years ago Feb. 19, 1978. God saw you getting weary, When a cure was not to be, So he closed his arms around you, And whispered "Come to Me." How quickly your body weakened, And words became so few, The battle you fought, We wish they only knew. So long you kept on fighting, The answers you could not find, Your pain and frustrations, So vivid in our minds. Put your arms around her Lord, Treat her with special care,,. Make up for all Mom suffered, And all that seemed unfair. So you who have a Mother, Cherish her with care, For you'll never know the heartache, When she's no longer there. Always loved and remembered by Gary and Kathy, Gord and Merlyn, Ron and Joyce, Al and Pat, Marilyn and Glen and their families. 40-07-1 VAN DYK In loving memory of a dear father and grand- father, Ted, who passed away eine years ago, February 16, 1979. God made a Dad so loving and kind, We had the honour of'calling him "Mine" No one can know the sorrow we share, When the family meets and you're not there, We hold our tears when we speak your name, But the ache intbur hearts remains the same, If there was only some way, we could let you know, God bless you Dad, we miss you so. So dearly loved and deeply missed by Kevin, Marg, Jason, Michelle, Kyle and Bradley. 40-07-4 DOERR'S Appliance & TV G.E. and ZENITH Phone 348-9033 Open 6 Days a Week MAIN ST. MITCHELL VEALS 41.

The reports indicate very high rate of suc- cess at all grades and levels of difficulty - superior to provincial averages. Of 59 courses offered during first semester only six have pass rates lower than 90 percent and of those six below a 90 percent pass rate, none was lower than 85 percent. Even more outstanding statistics collected by Howard James, Head of Guidance, indicated that of the 892 course credits attempted by students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 (each student took 4 course credits first semester) there were only 44 failures an overall success rate of 95.1 percent. Of the 107 students in Grades 12 and 13, 98 suc- cessfully passed all courses they attempted. Staff and students are proud of these students achievements and of the efforts ex- panded to make them possible. Mr. James believes "these statistics are a .tribute to a student body that is generally hard working and conscientious. It is, in no small way, a reflection of a dedicated, talented, and caring staff." Not prepared to rest as its laurels, Mr. James and Mrs. Doig of the Guidance Department will be counselling students who were unsuccessful in one or more credits to provide direction and assistance. This effort is intended to lessen the likelihood of failure amongst this group in the future. A recent review of the current graduating class' plans for college and a summary look at the registration forms recently com- pleted by the Grade 8 students who will begin their secondary education at Seaforth District High School next September point to a marked contrast from the way things were 10,15 or 20 years ago when much of the Seaforth area adult population attended S.D.H.S. In addition to the university applications submitted in December the Guidance Department has recently submitted 117 col- lege applications on behalf of the students who will graduate this June. The more remarkable statistic is the applicants ap- plied to 17 different colleges and 21 different career programs. Fanshawe College re- mains the most popular choice with 27 ap- plicants, with Conestoga College in Kit- chener a close second. Colleges in Sarnia, Hamilton, Toronto, Windsor and as far north as Sudbury and east to Ottawa are selected by some applicants. In terms of career choice, no longer is it nursing or secretarial programs for the girls and trades or directly into employment for most of the boys. Career choices for male and female graduates now include several business programs in marketing, accounting, data processing and ad- ministration. Other choices include such wide ranging career goals as graphic design, social work, child care worker, funeral service technician, legal assistant, engine technology, air conditioning and refrigeration, recreation leadership, early childhood education, food services as well as the nursing and secretarial programs. The guidance department is pleased ,to have some part in providing career counselling matching a student interests, aptitudes and abilities to an appropriate career choice and providing an excellent library of resource materials in the guidance reading room to enable students to research potential career choices. It should be noted that successful career planning is a very difficult task and just like in English, Math or Science students have to do their homework to be successful. FRESHMAN CLASS Now a brief look at the freshman class, the Grade 85 that will be at S.D.H.S. next September. Virtually all of the students residing in the S.D.H.S. school area now register at Seaforth. No longer do students need to travel to a neighboring school for special programs. The local community school now offers a full range of academic programs at the advanced, general and basic level. A much imps ed technical or shop facility will provide a sound technical education in several shop areas. The business department has modern equip- ment in keyboarding and word processing and a number of computer courses where the goal is a computer for every student. Many students with special needs have in- dividualized programs designed exclusively for their special need, providing all students the opportunity to experience success. The administration and staff at S.D.H.S. takes pride in providing an opportunity for all students in the Seaforth area and en- couraging them to earn a graduation diploma and to go on to satisfying careers and become a credit to the community. AFFILIATED GROUPS The recent Central Huron Drama Festival saw a very successful production of "The Valedictorian" put on by the S.D.H.S. Drama Club. The student body was able to view this play at an assembly on February 17. The well-known Seaforth and District High School Marching Band left for Fort Myers, Florida and the Edison Pageant of Light competitions on February 12. The girls will be billeted with students from Cor- al Gables High School. The band hopes to improve upon the success achieved at the 1986 competitions. After a strenuous week of practice and competition the girls return to Seaforth in the early hours of February 22. An excellent opportunity to hear a wide range of good music will occur on Thursday, February 25 at 2 p.m. The Canadian Forces Vimy Band will be performing at 'an assembly in the school. The following is a brief history of the Vimy Band. On October 1, 1968, in keeping with the Canadian Armed Forces policy on unifica- tion, professional musicians were chosen from the Canadian Navy, Army and Mr - force to form The Canadian Forces Vimy Band based in Kingston, Ontario. To fulfill its many musical duties within the Armed Forces, the band assumed many identities. As a ceremonial band it welcomes uniting royalty and foreign digni . ries, and has added colour to many state occasions. Various salon and dance groups within the band perform regularly at numerous social functions. However, it is best known in its basic role as a modern concert band, and one of its purposes is to stimulate a keener interest in Canadians of all ages. Regular concerts, in- cluding universities and high schools, assist in accomplishing this object. Vimy Band in concert is noted for its ✓ rsa ' 'ty and variety of programmes, and s' is formation in 1968, has gained inter- na nal recognition. Highly acclaimed per- fo nces in the major cities of Canada and E ope, including Amsterdam's world famous concert hall "The Concertgebouw" has assisted in establishing the band's outstanding reputation. This Canadian Forces Band is proud to be playing a part in the development of Cana- dian culture and as Ambassadors of Good- will at home and abroad, adding to, the stature of The Canadian Armed Forces. Any member of the public is welcome to attend. Abattoir and Meat Market Hwy. 83 - 31/2 miles east of Exeter 235-1123 42.

Dr. McKelvey will also visit hospitals in Vienna and will take a tour of the best in England and will spend two or three months abroad. On returning to Canada he proposes locating in Toronto, where he will follow his profession as a specialist in ear, nose and throat ailments. A residence has been purchased in the city, to which the doctors' mother and sister will remove. FEBRUARY 18,1938 Miss H. I. Graham, of Seaforth, is one of Ontario's outstanding poetesses. Miss Graham has written many peoms and has published three books of verse which have received very favourable comment from critics. The sixty-second annual meeting of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company held in the Town Hall, Seaforth on Fnday, heard encouraging reports of the company's progress. Mr, A.

Passing by Ed VanMilten- burg and Gordon Edward. DUMPERS 3 - KNIGHTS 0 An unprofitable night for the Knights as no goals could be accomplished. However, Dale Kennedy, on his knees, wound up all in one motion, and scored the pass from Den- nis Murray. Bob Nash stood at blue line, took his time, and finally blasted the ball towards the net to score. Ed VanRossel gave Bob a helping hand. No help was needed by Brad Finlayson as the opposing goalie of- fered a little assistance for him. RAIDERS 2 - RUSTLERS 3 Tony Arts maneouvered around three peo- ple then used a quick wrist shot and scored. Jack Holmes was his backup. Defenceman Steve Jansen shot from blue line, and scored. Help came from Tony. A powerplay shot by Robert Anderson and he scored with the aid of Art Veenstra. Tying up game was Robert again with Ralph Hiving helping. Art Veenstra pulled his team into the lead with a shot from the face off. Dinner • from page 3 associated with success. Dedication make the difference between a champion and the rest of us, and persistence is another aspect of success. You have to be able to set a goal for yourself - something tangible. And to get fulfillment you've got to be able to push yourself," he said, adding it took him six years from the time he started jumping to get where he did. "And it was the most fulfilling time of my life." "Success come from a lot of hard work and leads to fulfillment, and fulfillment leads to success. You've got to have those dimensions in your life." If you don't push limits you don't find out what your limits are, and you're never going to get there. Sport teaches you what you can do, and gives you a feeling about yourself and whet you can do." After sitting bypatiently while practically every speaker got their digs in at him, Glen Weir finally got his opportunity to talk. Starting his speech by referring to Greg Joy as a "tall, skinny puke", he continued to get even by putting Eddie Shack in his place company, presided. During the year the number of policies in force increased from 2,661 to 2,716. Cash surplus increased by $5,998.50. The first equalization of assessment since 1927 in Huron County will be undertaken this year and will be completed about June, 1939, H. G. Mogg told a meeting in Seaforth Mon- day night. He and H.J. Quinlan, who have had several years experience in this line of work throughout the province have been hired by the county council at a cost of $7,000, the final contract having been signed last week. FEBRUARY 14, 1963 The half -way mark in the Seaforth Com- munity Hospital campaign was reached and passed this week. Campaign headquarters reported Tuesday that the total of cash and pledges at that time was $101,054.85. The campaign objective is $195,000. Seaforth's five-year-old police cruiser will be retired. Council Monday night accepted the tender of Rowcliffe Motors to provide a new six -cylinder sedan for $3,017.85, less trade -In of $1,267.85 for a net of $1,750. While everyone agreed a new car was a necessity, the decision to purchase came only after a long discussion' concerning the merits of six or eight cylinders. Problems arising in connection with sewer construction occupied much of coun- cil's time Monday evening. High on the list was providing protection at the excavations, prompted by an incident last week where a collie dog spent some hours in a muddy water -filled hole. The water was about five feet deep and many present were concerned that it could just as easily have been a child in the hole. Plans for rebuilding Goderich Street ad- vanced a stage Monday evening when coun- cil approved construction of a 32 -foot pave- ment. Boulevards will parallel the pave- ment and new sidewalks will be located bet- ween existing trees and the property lines. GRADS 2 - MUSTANGS 2 Tony Vandenheuvel had an excellent shot from the face off. Of course, Robert Wydeven seemed to need a little help as Mike Vandenheuvel approved the superb shot on net. Credit for first goal goes to Dave Leonhardt as he drilled it by the goalie. Back up was Ted Kellar and Murray Siemon. Ted Kellar was in the right place at the right time, as he tied the game up with help from Brian Moura and Mike Jacobs. Tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. Winthrop vs Raiders, at 8:20 p.m. Grads vs Parr Line, and 9:10 p.m. Mustangs vs Red Rustlers.

Mr. Weir played 13 seasons with Montreal in the Canadian Football League, and was an all-star for six years. He did an excellent job as a. auctioneer during the mini -auction and managed to inspire the audience to pay top dollar for the many items up for grabs. The co-chairmen of the dinner, Marty Bedard and Graham Nesbitt, are happy with how this year's dinner went and are looking forward to next year's. They can see some of the weaknesses of this year's dinner and will be able to do an even better job in the future. Next year they hope to have athletes from a broader range of sports, and said they would like to see more female athletes. This year most of the female athletes they tried to reach were in Calgary. For next year they would like to have some baseball celebrities from the Toronto Blue Jays and • or the Detroit Tigers. They would also like to get a wrestling celebrity, to meet his needs that would also retain the building or its facade and has every ap- pearance of undertaking the improvments proposed in a sensitive and honorable manner; • although the building itself is a 19th cen- tury commercial structure inside the Con- servation District, and is a good example of its type, it is not particularly outstanding, is separated from the main core of 19th century buildings by two modern struc- tures and is in questionable condition; •the owner has no intention of selling the building, renting it, or filing it up. and they nave contacted Lion Cherry and have their sights set on him. Another local celebrity who couldn't attend the dinner this year but may be able to in the future is Lloyd Eisler. In organizing next year's dinner they would like to see a comunittee assembled to help organize the event. This year the chairmen and the entire arena staff put in a lot of extra time to get it organized. Board of health • from page 1 The board settled a one-year deal with the Ontario Nursing Association that calls for a 4.5 per cent increase over the 1987 pay rates for all classifications The contract includes a change in work hours from 6.75 to seven hours, a new four year over five plan (the same as approved for CUPE), a common-law spouse is in- cluded in the three day bereavement plan, an increase in the transportation allowance from 19.5 cents to 20 cents per kilometer and updating of letters of understanding with respect to guarantee of jobs and agreement concerning job sharing.
