Your Council therefore. wishes to inform you of the facts. W ' . below-9 Cert'fy these to be the true facts. as ex'ldenced by the signatures H. C. T. CRISP S. F. TINKER Monday, Nov. 18 1. A petition, signed by well over one hundred ratepayers in the area, was presented to Markham Township Connc1l early in 1957, requesting appropriate action be taken to dissolve the Union School Area No. 1. 2. By Statute, upon receipt of such a petition, your Council is obligated to take the necessary action. An Educational Com- mittee was therefore set up which, after much investigation and deliberation, presented a report. This report was approved in principle by both Markham and Vaughan Township Councils with the understanding â€" (8) THAT THERE BE NO HARSHIP IMPOSED ON EITHER MUNICIPALITY. (b) AND THAT THERE BE NO LOWERING OF THE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS ALREADY EXISTING. 3. It was directed that a financial report be prepared and when forthcoming your Council will present it to the ratepayers and the School Board for study and comment before any further action is considered Clerk (Continued from page 1) day be fired with ambition to take on the serious project of writing good books themselves some day. He said he felt that on such a symbolic evening such as this one, such ambition might take hold of some of his listeners and bear fruit. Referring to history, mathe- matics, business, chemistry and biology the speaker adjured his listeners. “Never look back on your period of the second training and say, cynically, ‘Why did we ever have to learn these subjects!’ Every teacher you have had and the knowledge they have impart- ed to you will be a part of your life and your satisfaction in the life which lies ahead for you."~ Earning power is often low at the beginning of a career, Mr. Jeannert continued. More often than not when one takes on‘a career or job they really like to do the financial returns are small. But one must realize they are re- ceiving something far more para- mount than money. Mr. Jeannert emphatically urg- ed his listeners to open their minds to the importance of learn- ing foreign languages. particu- larly French, stating that, “Al- though I am of Heugnot-Swedish decent, I long ago ‘ecognized the ‘fact that 331.33% of Canadian citi- ‘zens speak French and it is vital 1that more and more English- ;speaking citizens learn this lan- guage if we are going to go ahead in education and business in Canada and the world.” "I put it to you and I put it to you most seriously," he said in conclusion. “it will be the odd one among you who will beâ€" come a 70% Canadian Citizenâ€" unless you put your knowledge of languages into good effect. Go forth tonight as graduates of Richmond Hill High School â€" capable of speaking for your country anywhere-in the world."

'Tinker should also be com- mended for David’s success. The Kinette Club Scholarship was presented to Mary Lou Wal- burn by Mrs. Peggy Donaldson, past president. Donald Leno Scholarship The awarding of the Donald Leno Memorial Scholarship to John Graves. by Miss Edna Iz- zard, for highest standing in Grade XIII Modern Languages and History, was one of the most inspiring moments of a highly memorable evening and in pre- senting the scholarship Miss Izzard recalled, “Donald was the first of a second generation to graduate from my class. His mother, Mrs. Stanley Leno, was the first graduate of my first year at this High School.” Paying further tribute to Don’s interest in modern languages and history as well as the interest he‘ had in this school and community during his 25 years of life Miss Izzard concluded, “Donald still walks among us and this Scholar- ship is given to keep alive his spirit among us.” She then quoted the following words from John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, “My. sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.” The academic side of school life in Richmond Hill High School was relived and reviewed by David Tinker in his Valedic- tory when he mentioned by name and department each teacher who had played a large part in the lives of the graduating class. He spoke most sincerely, yet with humour and pathos of the years that lie behind and said. “To all the teachers we extend our gra- titude. We owe you a great deal at Richmond Hill . . . where we got much more than a formal ed- ucation.” Then quietly concluding he said, “It is with sadness to- night we take a last look around at our Alma Materâ€"and bid her adieu." The George M. Hill 8; Son Plaque for Public Speaking, was presented to Donald Large by Miss Frances Hurst. Valedictory Chairman Morrow remarked that Miss Izzard is, “The one and only member of the Quarter Century Club at Richmond Hill High School.” Cecilia Anderson, pianist for both the band and choir of the school, was presented with the Music Club Scholarship by Pa- tricia Lund, president, and a bouquet of roses. The Morley Kinnee Plaque for highest standing in Grade XIII English was another presenta- tion made by Miss Izzard and was won by Mary Lou Walburn. Lewis D.
