Ross Metcalf remembers his stint in the Bugle Band. Rifle drill is remembered by many - in the Old Armouries Ci.e. Badminton Hall used during the war.? I tried out for football, but the others mistook me for the ball most of the time. He also writes: The one factor that stands out in my mind is the comradeship, togetherness, everyone knowing each other, all rejoicing in our accomplishments and sym- pathizing with us in our set backs. The staff was interested in all students, practically knowing each one by name. He remembers being pianist for the Literary Society for two years and playing for the orchestra in opening exercises and special occasions. Ross has achieved enviable recognition as a concert singer, church soloist, organist, choir master, music teacher, supervisor, consultant for N. and D. C.B. of E., adjudicator and clinician. Music is his hobby as well as his career. Wit and good nature is his trademark. fir Ik ik 41 Ik Sk Mr. Witherspoon going to the phone one day and coming back to the class and saying 'It's a girl, take the rest of the period off!

Medal at the International competition at Geneva in 1952. A year later, he received the Harriet Cohen Commonwealth Medal as the outstanding young musician of the British Com- monwealth. After making his debut with the Toronto Symphony under Sir Ernest McMillan, he went on to do recitals, orchestral engagements, radio and television ap- pearances, recordings and concerts in New York, London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Munich, the Hague, followed by tours across the United States and Canada. He has written articles for music magazines, given master classes and workshops in the U.S., been in demand as a judge and lecturer. In 1958 , he returned to Bowmanville to play at a Cen- tennial concert here, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. This was a musical good turn to thank the Town and Lions Club for their support in 1953 for his European studies. In 1958, Ray married Francis Young of Ox- ford, N. Carolina, and they have two children, David 10 and Catherine 2. In 1971, Ray was appointed Head of the Ap- plied Music Faculty at Cincinnati College of Music, University of Cincinnati. This includes all vocal and instrumental music of the College. He is also Artist in Residence and has a full schedule of 20 concerts in the U.S.A. and Canada in the 1971-'2 season. This is in addition to his teaching and administrative duties at the College, plus adjudicating and workshops in many centers of the U.S. Ray played with the Toronto Symphony at Ontario Place in July 1971. All of us who knew him, and still remember him, are justly proud of his talents and success. Ik Ik if Pk Pk lk An Article by Mr. M. Stacey Subjects, Courses, etc. In a letter from Mrs. Elsie Water CBraggJ, a former Bowmanville High School student, it was stated that in 1910 only three years of high school standing were required to obtain Normal School Entrance ii.e. entrance to Teachers' College, as it is now called, where students are trained for public school teachingl. This would likely lead to a Third Class Certificate, the most common certificate held by elementary school teachers in those days. This certificate was discontinued in the 1920'sg and in the depression years of the 1930's, because of the surplus of teachers, the Second Class Cer- tificate was no longer issued after 1936. At this time, to be admitted to a Normal School, the high school graduate must have ob- tained standing in Grade 13 English, History and five other papers, and in addition, before he could obtain a permanent First Class Cer- tificate, he had to complete one year of univer- sity courses Ci.e. five? or the equivalent in sum- mer courses in Art, Agriculture, Music, etc. sponsored by the Department of Education. During World War II and the years im- mediately afterwards, because of the scarcity of qualified teachers, the standards of entrance to Normal Schools were lowered from eight Up- per School papers in 1940, to 7 in 1943, and to five in 1944. Also from 1944 to 1956 the Depart- ment of Education offered emergency summer school sessions to qualify teachers, and even revived the Second Class Certificate, the demise of which had been hailed with joy by the teaching profession twenty years before. wk Sk ik 'K if 4' The requirements for Junior Matriculation and for University Entrance, in 1915, were twelve papers of Middle School, namely, two in Latin, two in English, two in History, two in Mathematics, and two in each of the any two of Greek, German, French or Experimental Science CChemistry, and Physicsl. These requirements remained almost unchanged even into the 1930's. Also for Senior Matriculation CGrade 13 or V forml, which became compulsory after 1931 for entry to University of Toronto, Latin, English and another language, plus at least three other sub- jects, were necessary, particularly for an Arts course. For other faculties, such as engineering, English and one other language was acceptable, providing the student had stan- ding in the equivalent number of papers in ad- ditional mathematics and science subjects. Another unpleasant touch back in the 1920's and 1930's was that every student had to present one dollar to the presiding officer
