But in the fall of 1968, a group of keenly interested students broke with tradition and set out on a new path of endeavour by forming a psychology club. This academic club was formed upon the suggestion of Mr. White and functioned smoothly under his able guidance. During the school year club activities were directed towards the attaining of a greater fund of knowledge in the field of psychology, and to this end, members worked diligently. All individuals prepared specific topics for presentation which stimulated a great deal of discussion. Some of the topics readily covered were the nature of intelligence, learning theories, and mental retardation. Further knowledge was also gained by viewing films and making visits to the North Bay Psychiatric Hospital and the West Bayfield School for retarded children. We, the members of this newly formed club, feel our activities have been both enjoyable and worthwhile. We hope the study we have undertaken will help us to be more responsive and understanding as teachers of the future .
