The TV program for schools is continuing each Wednesday at 3 pm. until the end of March. All the pupils from Grades 2 to 8 have had an opportunity to view sev- eral of the programs. This is a medium of education which has much potential value and we p1 dict there will be many mo programs telecast for schools. Principal A. Martindale would like to hear parental comments on the program. Miss J. McLaren, Thornhlll Ll- brarlan. is giving a serles of talks on books. to Henderson puplls. So far she has spoken to all pupils in Grades 5 to 8. We expect to see much greater library partici- pation after her talks, whether the pupils begin to take out books from Thornth or Willow- dale library. This winter proved very favor- able for skating on the school rink. Many periods in school time were ,given to skating as physical training. and not a few boys and girls became quite pro- ficient. This is the first winter we have had a person paid to flood the rink at the necessary times and it seems to have paid off. The deep snow brought a premature end to the intramural hockey schedule. Fortunately all had played the same number of games so team standing on the basis of two points for a win and one for a tie was determined. Outdoor hockey is now being replaced by floor hockey in the school auditorium. An intramural schedule has been set up and the first game took place on March 14 at noon hour. This game is packed with action and you will hear more about it in future col- umns. Education Week in the schools will be in November, 1960. to coincide with the American Edu- cation Week. The Henderson Avenue Home and School Association held their monthly meeting on Monday ev- ening. March 14. in the school au- ditorium. The meeting opened with the reading of the Home and School Creed. After the read- lng of the minutes of the last meeting and the treasurer-’3 re- port, Mrs. Gage, president, made the following announcements. Nomination forms for the new executive of the Home and School Association have been mailed to the members and they are asked to take an interest and an active part in nominating new officers. These forms are to be returned to Mrs. D. Hughes, 54 Grandview Avenue. On March 8, Henderson Avenue hockey team galned a shut-out when they defeated Powell Road School by 2-0. The two boys who scored were Art Chomiak and Terry Adkins. This was an inter- esting game as some of the play- ers on the Powell Road team are former pupils of Henderson Ave. school. However the winning streak came too late for Hender- son. Langstaff and Rlchvnle schools battle for the league championship. on Thursday. March 31. at 8 33.31., the new Ciark-Elgin school will be ofiicially opened by Mr. Frost. member of the school board and Dr. Rivers. Minister of Education. The April meeting of the Home and School Association will be of teat interest to pup- pils of Gra e 8 and their parents. Mr. O'Beirn. vice-principal of the Thornhiil High School will give an address on Vocational Guid- ance. As these pupils will be en- tering high school next fall, they are asked to attend. the meeting along yith their parent: Thanks to the voluntary dona- tions of the pupils towards the Junior Red Cross Day blitz, a sum of $30.14 was realized. Mr. Martlndale has sent out forms for parents of 5 year old children to fill out. If you have a child whose fifth birthday is in 1960 and you did not receive a form, please hone AV. 5-3132 at once. Mr. E. Welt introduced the pan- el participants for the evening. Mr. Stewart Calvert, teacher of science was chairman and the panel consisted of Mr. Evans of Thornlea Public School-.' Mrs. Bishop, Trustee of North York School Board; Mrs. Noble, repre- senting Home and School Fed- eration, and Mr. O'Beirn, vice- principal of the Thornhill High School. The subject under dis- cussion was school education. This was divided into three parts -â€" Should Children Conform was the first question. It was felt that a degree of conformity is essen- tial but that children are not en- couraged enough to be original and individual in the school and. in the home. The second phase‘ concerned The Bullies and Little Respect Property. One trend of thought on this subject was that not enough discipline was taught in the home. On the other hand. parents very often do not see or know this side of the child's char- acter and when it is discovered at school, it should be brought to the parents’ attention and worked out co-operatively between he school and the parent. The third question was â€" Is the School Responsible for the Total Edu- cation of the Child. There were a few mixed feelings on this sub- jtct but it was generally believed that the school is responsible mainly for the three R’s but the parents should not wash their hands of the child’s education once he steps into kindergarten. Mrs. Bishop felt that too much is expected from the children themselves and too much stress is placed on going to University On March 8 and March 16, Misses Jeanette Wilkins, Sandra Stewart, Geraldine Kayes, and Anna Rasmussen. students of the Thornhill High School. observed and taught in the classrooms of Misses E. Clark and M. O’Neill, Mrs. O'Beirn and Mr. Westlake. This arrangement has been car- ried out for several years and it is hoped that the students will gain some insight into public school teaching which they are contemplating as their future car- car.

SON ALL HOURS Owen/i Have you ever heard of a perm party? Perm is short for perm n- ent, you know ladies and ou also know how a perm gives you a lift when your hair is at that hard to handle stage. Well a few wor- thwhile perms were given en masse at the home of Mrs. Vi Johnson, 43 Woodward Ave.. on Tuesday, March 8. 11 ladies from hostess homes in Newmarket and a nursing home in Gormley were driven down to Mrs. Johnson's home where they were each given a permanent and they also en- joyd the day‘s outing. Coffee was served in the morning and a lovely lunch was given them at noon. The lunch was kindly pro- vided by members of the Women's Missionary Society, Evening Group. of the Thornhill United Church. Small gifts of perfumes and deodorants were donated by some of Mrs. Johnson’s 'customers and each of these ladies had her choice from them to take home. Many of the neighbors assisted in this worthwhile effort by ser- ving coffee and lunch, also with the hairdos and transportation services. These ladies are recup- erating from nervous breakdowns and‘mental illnesses and they were extremely pleased and grateful for the kindness shown to them.
