Will Need Two More Secondary SCh°°ls By 196‘9 They discussed the next euch- re. a new Christmas social for themselves. and as usual at this The Doncaster mmun-ity Ladles’ Club held executive meeting at the hon‘o of Mrs. J. Barbour, 140 Henderson Ave., November 28. At the November 26 meeting York Central District High School Board adopted a recommendation of its plan- ning committee to give consideration to the acquisition of a site for the area’s sixth high school, to be opened in 1967 and for a seventh to be opened in 1969. The board also vieWed preliminary architect’s sketches of artwo stage ad- dition to Bayview Secondary School, the first of which is to be completed by 1965 and the second by 1969. The final stage will accommodate 2,000 pupils, just about doubling the present capacity of the building. The site will allow for 'no more additions beyond this point. Mr. Chapman presented to the board a summary of projected enrol- ments up to 1970 when it is expected the total enrolment in the area’s schools will be 5,644. Both Bayview and Thorn- hill schools will be overcrowded by 1964 When questioned as to the advisabil- ity of having such a large number of students accommodated in one school, Superintendent Sam Chapman admitted that it was generally considered best to have no more than 1,000 students in any one school. However, he stated that to be reasonably economic in the use of the very expensive shops provid- ed in the schools ,it is necessary to have the 2,000 students per school. “It is either double the existing school or build an entirely new one further north.” he said. The children to fill these high schools are already in the elementary school systems in the area. 20 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, December 6, 196g HERRIDGE ELECTRIC NORDMENDE WIRING.

Mr. Chap- man pointed out that the School Act in- sists on certain qualifications for an at- tendance officer and that the position required someone who although not necessarily a social worker, was fam- iliar with case work, and was also thor- oughly familiar with the school system generally. The board also passed the recom- mendation of the planning committee that projected enrolments for an eight year period by course, school and grade be re-worked each year. Mr. Chapman’s figures indicate very little change in the expected enrol- ment at both Richmond Hill and Wood- bridge where 865 and 421 students res- pectively are expected by 1970. He commented however on the difficulty of making accurate forecasts so far ahead and said the figures presented “my best guess at the moment”. but this will be relieved by the Lang- staff School to be opened in 1963 and to accommodate 800 students. This is to have only two courses, business and commerce and arts and sciences with no technology and trade courses offered.

A shoulder train of satin peau de stoie fell in grace- ful folds over the entire dress and along the floor. Her coro- net was of satin peau die soie, with a butterfly effect veil of French silk illusion falling to the waist. She carried the white prayer book given on her con- firmation, which was covered with a white orchid. Her only ‘jewellery was “something bor- rowed". her mother’s gold cross. Mr. Eugene Lazar was soloist, and sang the “Lords Prayer" and “The Lord is my Shep- herd." 'I‘he organist was Mr. While it was admitted that the need for an attendance officer was not acute at this time, Mr. Chapman felt that if a man started next year. he would just be getting properly organized by the time the school system started to enlarge to the point where it is ex- pected to double in the next six or sev- en years. While there is at present no interest in an attendance officer shown by either Vaughan or Markham Town- ship School Boards, there is a possibility that the Richmond Hill Public School Board would be interested and could share in the expense. The board was also pleased to pass the recommendations of the manage- ment committee that four of the area’s teachers be given salary increases as they had upgraded their qualifications through summer courses. “There are some problems which require a kind of contact which is diffi- cult for a staff member to make. We need someone who can go into the home, find the facts and interpret them to the school. He must also know enough about the school situation to interpret it to the family.” stated Mr. Chapman. There was considerable dismay however at the recommendation that two teachers have their salaries de- The board finally passed a motion to authorize the superintendent to ad_ vertise for and employ an attendance officer effective January lst, 1963 on either a full time or part time basis in co-operation with one or more element- ary school boards.

Elizabeth Ar- nold, Judy Harrison and Bren- d‘a Thomson. They chese dress- es of gold satin peau de soie, with bell shaped skirts. The bo- dice was covered with a short overblouse of gold embroidered lace. and they wore glovelets of gold satin with lace applique. Their coronets were the same as the brides, only in gold with a short gold veil. They carried bouquets of white 'm'ums with touches of gold in the leaves. Don Corbett Best mafi was Lt. John Ar- nold, brother of the groom, and ushers were Dr. James Mc- creased when it was learned that this action was being taken because both these teachers had failed at their sum- mer course at teachers’ college. Unable to obtain fully qualified teachers last spring, the board had been forced to employ persons with university degrees who agreed to take the summer course at teachers’ college. The board’s con- tracts with the two teachers who failed the course are actually invalid and these teachers have no license to teach. The board then passed a motion that in future all salary policy be in- cluded as part of the salary schedule and that the superintendent be charged with the elimination of any salary an- omalies in 1963. They also carried a motion to have their teacher category system conform with that approved by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, except for variations speci- fically approved by the board. The management committee's rec- ommendation on language laboratories also received a great deal of discussion. Mr. Chapman defined a language labora- tory as a means for giving more and better drill in the speaking of foreign languages. They use systems of ear- phones and tapes, with specially train- ed teachers and each one could cost in the neighbourhood of $25,000 per room. The management committee’s recom- mendation was that one such labora- tory be established in a school by September 1963 and that the board bud- get to equip one school each year with Please call my home, TU. 4- 4104, for transportaton or information on election day.

The bodice was covered with moss green lace, and she wore a hat of matching green sa‘tin roses. The groom's mother wore a, dress of dusty pink lace over taffeta, with matching marabou h-at. Following the reception the couple left for a 3 week honey- moon in Honolulu. On their return they will live in Victo- ria, B.C. where Lt. Arnold is sports director of Venture Na- val Academy. Trustee Mrs. Kathleen James stat- ed that the proposal had been referred back and forth from the committee to the board for two years and she felt it was time the board reached a decision. She felt at the present time and in- creasingly so in the future, people with only one language at their command were handicapped and that the language laboratory would make it possible for students to become bilingual. a language laboratory until all schools have an installation. Trustee John Honsberger stated that he had seen them in use at McMas- ter University and Victoria College and was completely in favour. He pointed out that this emphasis on the spoken language would tie in nicely with the Oral French program already in Mark- ham Township and expected in Vaughan shortly. He also felt strongly that the language laboratories would be an at- traction to language teachers and would assist the board in their hiring this Other board members were equally in favour. One member questioned whether the delay in installing labora- tories in all the schools was because they weren’t convinced of their benefit. Mr. Chapman pointed out that this was not the case, but that specially trained staff was required to operate them. The management committee’s recom- spring menuation was that one teacher attend a summer course to become expert in the required teaching techniques and that an in-service training programme be set up for all modern language tea- chers during the school year 1963-64 in order that they may become familiar with the equipment and teaching pro- cedures. It was also recommended that a teacher or teachers be given some al- lowance in teaching time to prepare tapes during the year 1963-64. All these recommendations of the management committee were passed unanimously by the board. mendation was that The board also passed the recom- mendation of the management commit- tee that rather than an official opening of the addition to the Thornhill Sec- ondary School, they hold an open house to enable parents of elementary school pupils to learn just what all the school has to offer. Trustee Robert Endean emphasized that it was the duty of the board to let the parents know about the different courses and just what the “four streams” means. The board passed the payment of gen- eral accounts to a total of $192,122.63 and cafeteria accounts of $4,639.27. They also accepted the resignation of board member Trustee T. W. Pitt, chair- man of the planning committee, due to pressure of business. Mr. Pitt is coun- ty council representative on the board.
