CANADIAN STUDIES PROGRAMME This programme involves an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Canada. and is being introduced in grades 5, 6. 9. 10. 11 and 13. Various projects are being carried out as part of the programme and brief descriptions of the various projects follow: The Ashbury Journal This publication was launched with the aim of establishing a forum for the exchange of student views across the country at the lowest possible price. The idea was prompted both by the lack of a national student-level journal devoted to Canadian affairs and by the fact that so many interesting projects are being carried out today which do not receive the publicity they deserve. The Journal invites contributions from students across Canada and provides those published with a country-wide circulation. The response has been very encouraging and after its first year the Journal boasts a subscription list which includes high schools in every province of the country as well as the North West Territories. S. M. Stirling Canadian Stamp Collection As part of the Canadian Studies Programme and with the generous help of the Ladies' Guild. a School stamp collection has been started. Two Minkus albums were purchased. one for mint stamps and the other for used stamps. Special thanks are extended to Mrs. Loftus and Mr. Joyce for their assist- ance and interest. Mrs. Loftus spent many tedious hours organizing the stamp sale. the proceeds of which were put towards the collection. Mr. Joyce has donated innumerable stamps which were used both for the collec- tion and for the sale. Thanks are extended to the following who have made donations of stamps to the collection: Mrs. Loftus, Mr. Joyce. P. Campbell. R. Robertson, S. Belding, J. Beedell, R. Newbergher, J. Longsworth, J. Heaton. P. Stenger, C. Teron. C. N. Teron H.M.C.S. Iroquois Form II has adopted HMCS Iroquois, one of the new DDH 280 class destroyers being built at Sorel, Quebec. The Iroquois is one of the most modern warships in the world and she will be commissioned in July, 1972. Her captain is Commander Duncan Macgillivray and he visited us one afternoon and told us about his ship. He also gave us many pictures and photographs for our classroom display. We shall be visiting the ship in August before she sails for Halifax, where she will be based. Next year the new Form II will take over and maintain contact with Commander Macgillivray and his crew on the Iroquois. D. G. Meyers Gallery of Great Canadians Our special project was to write to famous Canadians and ask them if they would send us an autographed photograph to hang in our gallery. By the end of the year we had received photographs and letters from Chief Dan George. Dr. Herzberg, Mr. Diefenbaker and Cordie Howe. We hope that next year's Form I will add more famous people to the gallery. D. C. Beedell 26
