10 4 - gp!!! Notes - Yes, the members of the staff have had a few highlights too which will make this year a memorable one. H D Perhaps we should give first place.to that event in Guelph, -December 20, 1952, when Mr. M. Young deciding he needed a sympathetic campanion to whom-he could tell his troubles, made Miss Audrey Wilson his bride. She didn't have long to wait to hear his troubles either for, on coming out of the'reception, a police ticket decorated his car. Well, Mrs. Young, that's just the beginning. we wish you every joy and happiness. Mr. Young, we think you're a very fortunate young man. Another event, almost as disastrous as our first one was happy took place during the Easter holidays when our principal, on his way to Rochester, had the misfortune to be involved in an accident. There were many thankful people when it was learned that no one had been seriously hurt although Mr. Cline received ainumber of nasty scratches and his car was badly smashed. Fortunately Mr. Cline carried insurance so that all was not lost and he was able to replace his car with a 1950 Oldsmobile. This year too we congratulate Mr. Gibson who completed his specialist standing last summer in his course in Industrial Arts and Crafts. Q Once inia lifetime, and for most of us never, comes the opportunity to view the pomp and pagentry of a coronation and our school is fortunate to have nOur Miss Kiddn who teaches English at O.D.H.S. attend this spectacle. we are sure she will have a marvellous time and that she will share her trip with us on her return. Congratulations and bon voyage, Miss Kidd. we regret that Miss Ewing who has been teaching girls' P.T. and Latin for the past two years has decided to withdraw from the profession and so will not be with us next year. Whatever your plans, Miss Ewing, we wish you the best of success. We will miss you. This year two new members were added to the staff - Mr. N. Maynard who is the new Com ercial teacher, and Mr. A. Smith, who heads the newly instituted music department which has added so much to our school functions. Mr. Smith has an orchestra well under way as well as a military band which now leads the cadet corps instead of the tradit- ional girls' bugle band. Last summer Captain Yates and Lieutenant Seltzer attended the sum er cadet camp at Ipperwash, the former as instructor, the latter as platoon commander. This su er it looks as if our cadet ' instructor Mr. Yates intends to get in a little golf whereas Mr. Seltzer is going to try his charm as a salesman. The whole staff again, of course, presents its mythical bouquet to Miss McPhedran who seems to have the knack of knowing when a spot of tea will lift those drooping spirits or smooth over the rough spots which are bound to crop up during a school year. Thanks, Miss Mcphedrano

- O.D.H.S. Honours - Once again the time has come to review the school year and to do honours to those who have given unstintingly of their time and abilities to make the Orangeville District High School function smooth- ly, to make it a better place in which to work and play. In so doing, they have not only helped to keep our school outstanding but have firmly grasped the first rungs to success - - trustworthiness, relia- bility, and cooperation. The student council, that group elected by the students to represent their interests and voice their desires, can be a powerful influence for good when the president is a level-headed person, one who sees things in proper perspective, who can keep within the council and hence the student body, the spirit of fairness and cooperation necessary for school harmony. Such a president the Council had this year in Bob Dods. Yes, Bob, we gratefully acknowledge your stabiliz- ing influence among the students and offer you -Honours-. we know the qualities you have developed will prove invaluable to you. One of the intregal parts of our daily school life is the cafeteria, a cafeteria which so many students take for granted without realizing the hard work of organization behind the quick efficient service they receive every day. No small task it is to secure cong- enial helpers, estimate quantities, finance payments, avoid waste and so keep the business on a sound financial basis, but you did it Dawn Kirkness and for your splendid contribution we present to you - - Honours - -. we know your experience and that of your helpers who did such a fine job will prove its value to you in later life. -2--1 -....- - Sock Dances - Three gloomy Friday afternoons were considerably brightened this term by the sparkling addition of Sock Dances, Many students in a dancing mood gained admission to these affairs for a nominal fee, det- ermined by tickets from l cent to 25 cents, Music was provided by records, and at the first two gatherings we were able to hear the pleasant strains of the school orchestra. we are looking forward to more of these friendly frolics. 222

ll The school secretary, Miss Dodds, cleared the school headaches frcm her brain last summer with the sea breezes of the Atlantic and came back refreshed and with a new sparkle in her eye. This sum er she was picked by Mr. McClelland to be secretary of the summer school at the Ontario Agricultural College. After subtracting the shakes, rattles and racket frcm his Ford, Mr. Kalbfleisch came to the conclusion he had Wnothingn left. The action resulting from his calculations prbduced a 'Ll Chevrolet. Mr. and Mrs. Percy had a very pleasant motor trip to southern Arizona last July. we appreciate very much the work of our caretaker, Mr. G. Rawn, who we feel is not only doing a very fine job of keeping our school spick and span, but is also pleasant and cooperative. f'fN,.N to -Do UUUQ Db QQGBL Ee cgoaa wr., .1 THQ -scenbe. - GQELQH- Kmox 7DR,6,513r1 eRbAl0 Cdoggy
