York Central District H.S’. Students, Principal And Parents Protest Special Meeting Tonite Trustee Eric Axelison, Chair- man 05 the Management Commit-' tee for York Central District High School Board, has arranged a meeting with teachers, parents and the district high school board tonight, Thursday, in the belief that a tempest in the teapot at Thornhill High School may be amicably settled to everyone's sat- isfaction -â€" and in an adult and dignified manner. , A Toronto ,daily contacted by one of the parents, has evolved a story "out of all proportion to its importance” â€",â€" a board member told “The-Liberal" Tuesday night. Trouble started when a petition signed by 39 students (girls) in grades 9 and 10 referred to the method of co ducting physical ed- ucation clasges and suggested changes. They dropped the peti- tion in the suggestion box, which is supplied for suggestions to the student's administrative counCll â€"â€" and which has absolutely no- thing whatsoever to do with the administration of the school or teaching staff. Principal A. S. El- son in turn wrote a letter to . staff, students’ parents regarding the peition and askin'g for an apology to the teachers involved â€" and the parents began ‘phoning board members, including Chairman Harry Sayers and Trustee Lou Wainwright, to take action. The board will bring the mat- ter out into the open tonight.

Firstly, I should like to make it clear that the pe- tition in question was not the work of one person. It was for- mulated by a small group of cit- izens after a number of discus- sions took place and the actual petitioning was carried out by five people. The petition, prior to last Monday's meeting of the ratepayers association, had ab- solutely no connection with the ratepayers association for the simple reason that there were never enough people at previous ratepayers meetings to discuss any real serious issues. However, the petition in question cured that lethargy, at least temporarily, for of the 50 odd people there. some 20 joined the association at the beginning of the meeting. The petition asks for a house by house inspection on four counts: (a) sanitary conditions, (bl living conditions, (c) building conditions, and (d) fire hazards. Nowhere in the petition is the word “condemn” used. As you reported, the depart- ments requested to carry out the inspection are the health, fire and the Township of Whitchurch and. in turn, the township is request- ed that prompt and efficient ac- tion be taken to enforce the rec- ommendations made in the re- ports. The fact that some will have to face expense is probably possible. However, on the other hand there are a lot of citizens carrying much more of the community expense. under the present conditions than they should be asked to bear. It is the hope and wish of all concerned that at the next meet- ing of the ratepayers association ideas and suggestions will be put forward that will help to improve the lot of all in the district. Yours sincerely, L. Hanson, Lake Wilcox Letters To The Editor “The Liberal" welcomes letters to the editor on any subject of local or national interest.

The floor of Granwood (which is also used in the bright and well-equipâ€" ped kindergarten) laid in parquet style, also enhanced the large room, as well as providing extra warmth and greater wearability with less maintenance than other types of flooring. The school choir, looking very smart and trim in navy blue blaz- ers, with a school crest on the pocket, and the girls wearing grey skirts, the boys in grey flan- nels, sang three numbers, after bursting into a song about This Old Man, just after Principal Glen Wood said. “They asked to sing “This Old Man" and I said this was not a suitable number for opening night.” But it was quite clear that the choir and their accompanist, Music Super- visor Herman Fowler. enjoyed lit Crosby “the 50ke 0n the teacher" andiience before introducing the guest the audience enjoyed their singw ing very much.
