Principal ' s Message This year we are dedicating our School Yearbook to the International Year of the Child. This will be one of the school ' s major IYC projects. We hope it will be a lasting memento of this very special year for all the youngsters in the school. The General Assembly of the United Nations has proclaimed 1979 as the International Year of the Child for the purpose of focusing world attention on the condition of children everywhere. This special year provides us with the opportunity to promote special projects in our schools and communities which will focus on children. Someone has said that the 80 s will be the decade of the child. According to statistics, the child population in this country will form a lesser percentage of the whole population in the future than ever before. This is all the more reason to make sure that this and future generations have the best education society can offer, because they are the citizens of the future who will be called upon to support more of us in our older age. The children of today are our future — let ' s make sure that we do everything we can to help them make the world of tomorrow a better place for all.

From The President of the Student Council As president of the student council, and speaking for the rest of the executive, I would like to tell you how honoured I am to represent the students of Fenelon Township Public School. It was a great feeling to know that so many grade seven and eight students would think we were capable of making the best of their year. I think we accomplished this by raising money for films, dances, skating, bus trips, athletic uniforms and a trip to the Lindsay Academy Theatre. Members of the student council are: President: Dennis Patterson Vice President: Kathy Naylor Secretary: Shauna Graham Treasurer: Kim Dichazi Class representatives are: Room 104: Mike Wood, Lori Sullivan Room 105: Linda Callaghan, Tracey Gillis Room 106: Matthew Serdar, Michelle Boadway Mr. Anderson who attended all the meetings as student advisor deserves our thanks. He helped us plan events for the year. He also kept us up to date with the bank and arranged such things as films and dances with Mr. Wenzel. We can also thank Mrs. Duxbury for assisting with gym decorations for dances. Mr. Allen and Mr. Anderson contributed to house league and interschool volleyball and basketball. We are very grateful to the parents who arranged transportation for their children to these events. Mr. Wenzel also played an important role in the school year. He kept the students in line and contented whether it was an indoor activity day because of the weather, or playing ping pong through the winter months. The ' 78-79 year is gone now, but I will always remember what an experience it was. I really enjoyed working with my fellow students and three teachers, and appreciated playing an important part during my last school year at Cameron.
