LEST WE FORGET Chris McMonagle Thornhill candidate were rearranged.” , Other methods of im- proving “staff morale“ would be by changing the grievance committee for teachers “to ensure that trustees who have rapport with staff are 'in a voting position.” Such is not the case at present, she said. Another method would be through open line and open mind communication with teachers, custodians and school secretaries. “Establishment of a liaison committee will help to ensure a direct pipe line," she said. Mrs. McMonagle said she hoped to restore public trust in the board through responsible action. She had been shocked when the board had voted to accept the teachers‘ resignations last winter, and felt it “created havoc“ with staff morale. Irresponsible “This vote was the height of irresponsibility and could have destroyed our secondary school system for years to come," she said. She said there should be more open meetings, which the public should be able to attend. Also trustees must be more available to their constituents. She said she would be accessible to all ratepayers and would present their requests at board meetings. Mrs. McMonagle said she would also stress “establishment of priorities in planning and spending to ensure that students have an equal opportunity." Cutâ€" backs should be made on “administrative frills," Also. alternate space should be sought for the administrative staff â€" $1,500,000 is too much to spend on an administration Mayor William C. La zenby ‘ educational building when there is no grant available from the province." Philosophy? “Establishment of a liaison committee with 'representatives from each of the schools in Markham to ensure that their (student) concerns and priorities are properly presented at the board." “Establishment of an philosophy across the country.” Should there be senior public schools. etc.‘.’ Mrs. McMonagle is a member of the Thornlea Secondary School Advisory Council; founding president of the local Association for Children with Learning Disabilities; co-founder of York Educational Clinic for children with difficulties in basic skills; president of Ontario Association for Children with Learning Disabilities: advisory member to the Ontario Commission on Emotional and Learning Disorders in Children. She and her husband, Robert, have two children, a boy at the University of Toronto, and a girl at Thornlea Secondary School. Fashion show had blackout A blackout in Thornhill on October 23 caused conâ€" siderable embarrassment and inconvenience. Hertzliah Chapter, Toronto Women’s CRT, is particularly apologetic to the public for the in- convenience caused when the blackout occurred during the fashion show and tea the chapter was having at Atwood’s Traditional Interiors, North Thornhill. The show was a financial success, however, and the students of ORT schools, who benefit through training for gainful employment, wish to thank those who so graciously accepted the interruption in their evening‘s enjoyment. By Margaret Govan North Thornhill Correspondent At the North Community Centre Board annual meeting recently George Meek presented the annual report. Here are some of the high lights: The exterior of the Community Centre received a fresh faceâ€"lifting with a change in the color scheme. The front driveway was paved. Also there was an excellent display of flowers outside. The air conditioning for the main floor finally is in working order. The “Cork Room" in the lower floor has been completely car- peted. A new boiler is to be in- stalled by the end of the year. The board received a painting of the “Home” painted by Shirley Foster, a local artist, and presented by the 7th Thornhill Girl Guides and Boy Scouts Ladies’ Auxiliary. The North Thornhill Ladies‘ Auxiliary with over 40 members, was founded in the last year. Their goal is the restoration and fur- nishing of the building in 19th Century period fur- niture and accessories. They have already held a Toy Sale and a Passport Dance, and are very busy now with the plans for a Christmas Bazaar. Large capital outlays sucn as outside painting, a new furnace, etc., are not in- cluded in the self sustaining funds. $9,500 budget The operational budget of the board for 1973 was $9,500 â€" all of which was raised through rental revenue. Over 350 functions (small, medium and large) took place at the centre which was a 40 percent increase over the previous year, and about 85 percent of the functions were “com- munity" ones. Mr. Meek concluded: “Many people over the years have contributed to the development of this facility as a living centre in this community and one of ’the people who currently fills this, role is Manager Mrs. Chris Rearden. This Centre is what the com- munity makes it and it is only when people use it that it does really come alive." The board includes the Buy Now and Save 20‘ lb.
