A delicious buffet lunch was served by the ladies of St. Mary's, who were thank- ed by the chairman, Rev. Dil. [Evans of Thornhill. The special nature of this monthly meeting was in recog- >nition of two ministers who 'are leaving the area. They are .the Rev. “Bill” Patterson and the Rev. "Dick" Moore. In presenting farewell gifts in the form of books to the brethren the chairman spoke of their enduring qualities. The Rev. Wm. Patterson by his dynamic friendliness has prodded the organization into many of its most worthwhile activities. In the case of the Rev. J. R. F. Moore mention was made of his particular gifts in the field i of teacher training. The final and concluding meeting of the season will be held in Holy Trinity Church, ‘Thornhill.

On view were such things as a stereo set, and a pair of racing cars operating on a track, de- monstrating the solenoid prin- ciple. One interesting piece of equipment was labelled “look at your voice". Here, voices of different pitch and intensity spoken into the attached mic- rophone made a different pat- tern of waves on a tiny screen. In the auto mechanics shop an equally serious group of young men demonstrated an engine analyzer, a spark plug tester and other pieces of equipment, while up on the hoist. a car was being lubri- cated. In the boys occupations room, several youngsters were ab- sorbed in doing sheet metal work. while two others were tiling the walls of a small room. Mr. R. Harvey was in charge and advised that the en- tire room had been built by students and would be comâ€" pletely finished and painted by them. Mr. Harvey has 19 boys in grade 9 and 12 in grade 10 and reports that they are1 very enthusiastic about their work - which was quite obvious‘ from their happy concentration on it. An interesting item in the girls occupations room was a series of photographs of a fashion show the girls from ‘this course had put on at Say- ivette on April 5 and 6. This {course is designed to acquaint ‘the girls with various aspects 10f the wholesale retail and ser- vice occupations. The drafting room‘had a fine architectural model of the school on display, while in the machine shop was a model shop. The wood shop was hum- ming with activity with the boys intent on various types of woodworking. Here, incidentally, members of the model airplane club de- monstrated their fascinating “controlled light” model planes. They also had a room allotted‘ to them on the upper floor and had an amazing collection of some 30 planes on view, all built by members of the club. They were in all sizes, some up to a 48 inch wing span and were designed for either free flight, radio control or with a control line. This club is di- vided into five teams and is in its second year of operation. The boys in this club are obviously all “real nuts" about planes and full of all kinds of technical information and des- criptions that left this reporter slightly dazed - especially since they were so eager to inform Nursery School For Oak Ridges A group of interested moth- ers are organizing a nursery school for three and four year olds of the Oak Ridges district. The truly co-operative school is planned to serve a wide area stretching as far west as King City and east to Gormley. A fully qualified and exper- ienced teacher has been secur- ed for the classes scheduled to start September 16 in St. John’s Anglican Church parish hall at son. They will continue until the middle of June 1964. School will be held five mornings a week from 9:15 to 1245 2am. Arrangements are being made to provide trans- portation for children where it is needed on a pay-as-youâ€"go basis. The school will be conducted under a licence issued by the Department of Welfare, and has receivd a go-ahead signal from health and fire author i- ties. A general meeting of mothers and registration of prospective pupils will be held Tuesday evening, May 14. at 8 pm. at St. John's Anglican Church. It was difficult to get past the foyer Where a foot-tapping musical ensemble “The Continentals”, complete with piano, guitar, bass Viol, drums and trombone were setting the pace for the evening, beating out a medley of popular tunes, old and new. Enthusiasm was the key-note of the open house at Thornhill Secondary School last Friday. Every classroom, shop and lab in the school was staffed with a group of lively, interested students, all eager to explain to the constant stream of visi- tors just what they were studying. Interested parents_ may se- cure more information by phon- ing Mrs. Gerald Woods, R.

The technical wing is join- ed to the rest of the school on the west side by an at- tractive “glazed corridor”. which encloses in the cen- tre of the school a qua- drangle of bright grass. me that several of them talked at once! In a nearby roof was an im- pressive display of equipment on display by the Scuba Diving Club. Organized for the first time this year, this club is un- der the direction of staff mem- ber Mr. R. Winstall who at one time was a professional diver. The club has 20 members, two of whom were on hand to in- form interested visitors on any and all aspects of SCUBA div- ing - which is diving with the use of controlled underwater breathing apparatus. The group has lectures in theory at the school weekly and do their training in the pool at North- view Heights Secondary School. Following tests in the pool, they will do open water tests at Lake Simcoe. The geography room also‘ showed evidence of great en- thusiasm on the part of the members of both the senior and junior geography clubs. An in- terested and interesting .young lady was standing beside a col- lection of rocks and fossils, ready to explain them to all comers. Most of them had been found by members of the sen- ior geography club on a field trip to Guelph and another to Craigleith. Hanging from the ceiling were scale models of the plan- ets each hung at the correct comparative distance from the sun which was represented in the corner of the room. Grade 9 has also been studying the continent of Africa and had on display a series of photo- graphs, maps and charts all meticulously done and certain- ly eye-catching. The room was absolutely filled with a variety of group and individual pro-i jects pertaining to the course of study - and reflecting indi- vidual interests - a model met- eorology station, a topograph- ical map of the Markham area, a huge wall-mounted map of Africa, wired so that various political divisions could be lit up at will, a model showing land forms, including a cross section of a volcano. There was something to interest everyone in this room, and I could hard-‘ 1y pry my five-year old away from it all - not to mention his Dad!

A com- petent young man carefully ex- plained a spectroscope to me, which was demonstrating the spectrum of hydrogen gas; an- other serious and intent young scientist demonstrated how sympathetic vibrations are set up, while still another coaxed various young ladies to place their hands on a Van De Graaf generator and see their hair stand up on end. (This young man was a little put out when this experiment didn‘t work with some of the girls - evi- dently he doesn't know about the lacquer hair sprays). And what do you suppose an English room could display to interest such varied visitors? As well as copies of various books and a “reading labora- tory" kit to help retarded readers, a tape recorder was busy playing excerpts from Pygmalion and Antony and Cleopatra, spoken by the stu- dents and on the wall there was a series of vocabulary tests for both parents and students. These varied all the way from a very simple one to one titled “If you pass this you have every right to be a snob". I came away deciding I certainly never could be a good snob when I missed “rodomontade”, discoverd it just means “a vain boasting" - must try to work it into my next column). The art room was well and thoroughly visited during the evening, where visitors were treated to a variety of art forms all the way from pencil sketches to linoleum mosaics. Students were working on en- amelling on copper and various types of mosaic work with glazed tiles and tiny pieces of linoleum, while their enthu- siastic teacher, Mrs. Trott, con- ducted visitors around the room proudly displaying the However, I was a little perk- ed up to find I could pick out 14 of the 15 spelling mistakes in the paragraph pinned up on the wall to test your spelling - although I couldn’t possibly tell you the right way to spell the words, as my editor would no doubt attest.

Unfortunately, I was unable to spend as much time as I would have liked in the home economics room both because my small son exclaimed flatly on entering “There’s nothing to interest me here" and be- cause by this time it was al- most 10 pm. However, I did‘ do a whirlwind tour, long enough to admire and envy the beautiful workmanship evi- denced in the dazzling array of suits, dresses. skirts, knitted sweaters and baby clothes which were so attractively dis- played against a colorful back- ground of festoons of fabrics. It is not hard to imagine the pride and satisfaction with which these garments will be worn.

Young people’s groups from three churches â€" St. Phillips Unionville, St. Mary’s Rich-‘ mond Hill, and Trinity Church Aurora â€" have each entered a one-act, twenty-minute play in the competition.
