Mrs. Evelyn Chaffe retired. For a quarter of a century, Mrs. Chaffe had been secretary at Beck. When she began at Beck, she was the only secretary; in her last year, she was senior of three secretaries. During her twenty-five years of service, Mrs. Chaffe had seen the school in- crease in enrolment from three or four hundred, into the thousand students it numbers today. This change in size meant that, for Mrs. Chaffe, relationships with students that had at one time been familiar grew impersonal. She could no longer know all the students by their first names; they became statistics, names that didn ' t have faces associated with them. The growth of the school could not dampen her interest in anything at Beck. Mrs. Chaffe was always the first to point out the successes --and failures --of Beck students in their chosen fields, wherever they might have roamed. Mrs. Chaffe always had great faith in Beck students, which was rewarded. Countless times she lent her students lunch money, or bus tickets with which to get home. It is commendable for Beck that she was always repaid. The rapid growth of the school since 1961, along with the growing numbers of children of former Beck students who were enrolling, caused Mrs. Chaffe to feel that it was time to retire, or, as she put it, Time to call it a day. She says, however, that she will never really leave Beck, as, Your interests have become mine. We dedicate this book to Mrs. Chaffe. CONTENTS DEDICATION EDITOR ' S MESSAGE ADMINISTRATION LACEDAEMON STAFF FACULTY GRADUATES CLASSES ATHLETICS LITERARY ACTIVITIES SPECIAL EVENTS ADVERTISING AUTOGRAPHS EDITOR ' S MESSAGE It is difficult to write a yearbook editorial. The editor wants so much to write a significant comment on life, or on youth, that will still be valid in twenty years or forty years. The problem of most editors, myself included, is that they lack comments which are universal, or timeless. They can comment on the Vietnam War, or on the Middle East Crisis, but what is said derives its meaning from our acquaintance with the context of life today. The type of leading article found in a newspaper or magazine becomes unacceptable when placed in a year- book. A yearbook is a memory book. Its prime function is to serve as a souvenir. If in the years to come this book causes you to remember a certain unjust detention, or the remark Mr. Franks made about your gum in biology class, it will have served its purpose. It follows that an editorial in a yearbook should com- plement the book ' s purpose by stimulating your memory of the school year and its events. The sheer number of events, however, along with the fact that this editorial is written in the Fall before any major events have happened, make it impossible to accomplish this purpose. Most editors, when faced by this double dilemma, write editorials which be- come thank -you notes to those who aided in the production of the book, or worse yet, they write editorials which become a montage of platitudes congratulating graduates for their successes thus far, and wishing them luck and courage to face the trials to come. If we avoid this stereotyped kind of editorial, we are left with only one thing to say: Remember Beck; remember 1968. Remember the joys and remember the tears. Most of all, my now -middle-aged classmates, Remember Youth ! ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE C.G. CHAPMAN PRINCIPAL Before this is published our eagerly anticipated Centennial year will have become history. But it will not soon be for- gotten. For Canadians generally it gave birth to a strong surge of national pride. Through it we be- came conscious of our important place in the community of nations. It will be remembered by many in a personal sense as well. The enthusiastic involvement of the Beck Family in our Centennial project was a vital experience for us all. Pos- sibly the united effort itself will be our fondest memory, but the mural itself will bring pleasure and will recall for posterity this unique year. We cannot hope, and would not wish, to have an annual repetition. None the less I expect that this school year will see the same proportion of successes and failures as did 1967. This year, as any other, will be exactly what we make it. My hope is that you carry over some of the enthusiasm, some of the co-operation with one another, some of the pride in a task well done that you displayed so admirably. May you learn to blend in adequate proportion all aspects of your school life so that you may attain the goals you have set for yourselves. To the members of the graduating class I extend sin- cere wishes for a happy and successful future and to the Yearbook staff hearty congratu- lations on another splendid publication. C.G. CHAPMAN STUDENTS ' COUNCIL L . The Students ' Council this year has been y L-, mainly an advisary committee for individual or- ganizations in the school. With the introduction Hp of a new treasury system, based on budgets, and the elections of major of ficers in the spring, it , was necessary for many groups to function on flk their own initiative. While the Council occasion- k M I k ally guided these groups, it carried on its tradi- B Jl fl Wk tional activities, such as sponsoring the Grade H ffl I Nine Party, the United Appeal Campaign, the M__. BBl B B- Canadian Save the Children Fund, and other such items. This year was also successful in that our third yearbook was completed, our two-year-old Spirit Club became a very active sector of school life, and also, the dream of a school play was finally realized. I express my true thanks to everyone who was associated with the past year ' s pro- jects, helping to create a year that was both memorable and beneficial in many ways. Special thanks must be given to Mr. Jackson, our staff adviser, and to Mr. Chapman, whose time and patience were encouraging and helpful. I extend the Students ' Council ' s congratulations, and my own, to those graduating, and I hope this year has been memorable in some aspect to everyone personally. To all remaining, I hope the future holds for you a time of gratifying memories and exciting prospects. The future is yours.

A. --the Girls ' Athletic Association--is to develop leadership qualities in the girls of the school. This is achieved through the senior leaders ' group, and inter-form and inter-school sports. The senior leaders ' group, which is made up of girls from grades ten through thirteen, hosts two dances- -the Holiday Hop at Christmas and the Turnabout in early Spring- -and a banquet in May. The senior leaders participate on committees for these activities, thereby earning points. Points are also earned by playing inter-form and inter-school sports. These points add up until a letter or crest is won. Bars and other smaller awards are awarded to girls who play on school and winning intramural teams. The G.A.A. tries to develop the leadership qualities and responsi- bility of Beck ' s girls while they are having fun participating in the many ac- tivities it sponsors. Rosemarie Falle, President.

It was suggested by two prominent local educators, as a worthwhile substitute for an un- desirable high school fraternity. Its purpose was to enable Kiwanians to give vocational guidance to key boys in the high school and through them reach the entire student body. Other Kiwanis clubs soon became interested in the project and sponsored similar clubs. As the number of Key Clubs multiplied and their experience grew, the original purpose expanded, so that today the Key Club offers as many services to the school as Kiwanis does to the community. For its members, it offers practical leadership training. During its first fifteen years, the movement spread by word of mouth. Then in 1939 a number of Key Clubs in Florida organized a state association to promote an exchange of ideas and the building of new clubs. In the spring of 1943, the Florida State Association of Key Clubs invited clubs in Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Tennessee to form an International Association and elect officers. At its Third Annual Convention in New Orleans in 1946, the Associ- ation adopted the International Constitution and Bylaws. Growth in the ensuing years was rapid, until today there are 3, 000 clubs, with more than 80, 000 members, throughout Canada and the U. S. A.

GLEE CLUB The school year 1967-68 proved to be the most productive ever for the Glee Club. It was a great honour to be invited to sing at Centennial Hall October. We were con- ducted by Nicholas Goldschmidt, Chief of the Performing Arts Division of the Centennial Commission. At Christmas we sang on CFPL radio, and appeared on CFPL television. We carolled at various places across the city. We were proud to hear that many requests were made to have our carols repeated on the radio. In January we were requested to perform at an Ecumenical Service held at Centen- nial Hall. We performed for the Home and School Association, and were the only solo group in an all-secondary school concert at Alumni Hall. It was our privilege to sing at Peterborough ' s Trent University in February, and it was another great honour to lead a Communion Service at St. Paul ' s Cathedral. As press time approached, we were preparing to sing in London ' s Kiwanis Festival, looking forward to a first prize which would round out our most successful year yet. This Page is Sponsored by TED AVER DRUGS The Choral Ensemble, the smaller senior choir, specializes in Renaissance and Modern music forms, such as the Madrigal. Many of the members of the ensemble intend to become professional musicians. The Ensemble and its choice of music is unique in the province. The Ensemble sang with the Glee Club at Trent University, St. Paul ' s Cathedral, and on CFPL radio and television. The group sang at Centennial United Church, and at the Ecumenical Service at Centennial Hall. Dani Heinen, President, Glee Club.

LIBRARY CLUB Book-thin behind the desk With fingers rigid as pencils she stamps, Stacks returns, read or unread, She cares not. Anne Marriott In the library of this school, thirty or more book-thin- -and not so book thin- -Library Club members work from 8:30 in the morning to 4:15 in the afternoon (with time off for classes, of course). It is their duty to keep the library orderly for your benefit. This involves stamping, slipping, reading, shelving, and mending literally piles of books. In their spare time they fulfil such duties as pasting, typing, and making displays. Fortunately, however, the club does other things besides work. We have visited many places, both old and new. We have been to Althouse College, the new Free Press building, and Eldon House. We have also been further afield, to the Stratford Festival, and to Toronto. The Library Club has thus managed to combine work and pleasure, much to the bene- fit of all its members. By the way, and despite popular opinion, you don ' t have to be a girl to join.

(The Society for the Preserva- tion and Encouragement of Green Giant Worshipping in Beck), works tirelessly to drum up and maintain spirit. It also strives to encourage the growth of a Beck identity . To accomplish these pur- poses, the Green Giant Fan Club each year makes hundreds of posters supporting school teams, and sponsors a Winter Weekend in February. This year, when our football team went into the Conference finals undefeated, the Spirit Club organized a car cavalcade to Western ' s J. W. Little Stadium, and built a minia- ture Green Giant, who led our Spartans to victory (he lost his head halfway through the game, which shows HIS spirit).

PREFECTS Beck ' s prefects are all Senior students (this year, for the first time, they are in Grade 11, as well as Grade 12) who are chosen by their peers to be prefects on the basis of their maturity and sense of responsibility. These qualities are vital to the success of the prefect system, and the organization itself is instrumental in encouraging them. A prefect ' s main function is to enable the school to proceed smoothly at lunch hour by maintaining some order in the cafeteria and in the halls of the school. The prefects also are in charge of the school ' s lost and found department, and volunteer to perform special duties in special or extraordinary situations.

Vandenbosch o is a beautiful word. Consider it. Savour it until you see the delicacy of its lines and the lacy intricacy of its meaning. It stands on a page like a balanced thing, not entirely without beauty. The sharpness of the N; the roundness of the O. It means so much, but it MEANS ' Nothing ' . You use it each day, throwing it about the room as if it were your own personal property and as though no-one cared what happened to it. No hurts. It hurts children, dogs, employees, wives. But you dare use it as your private domain without savouring its beauty or feeling its It is the root for so many words of negation that I can ' t even name them all. But if you wish to be awed by the negation of it all, read that part of your dictionary dedicated to the suffix ' No- ' . Noplace, Noplace, Notime, Nobody, Nowise, None. You can almost feel the rhythm of No. A mystical anti- rhythm. The personal annihilation of Hindu- Nirvana. The primeval tribal dance rhythm that speaks No, No, No, No. The words are like a poem, forming, unforming, flowing together to mean anything. Nothing No- one Nowhere No is not a negative word that opposes Yes in meaning. It is negative in the undoing of Yes. The annihilation of Yes. It does not negate, it destroys. When you say yes, or connected words, you mean that you are giving permission to do SOMETHING. But no and connected words do not say to do the opposite of that something (a sort of anti-yes), they say NOT to do something. Sit still, do not move unless you can do something else. The French understand the feeling that must go with no. They give it a symmetry that the English word does not have. Nothingness IS symmetric. They also give it the dignity of being as negative as it wants to be. Forever do English teachers warn us not to use the double (and heaven forbid the triple!) negative. But the French let the negatives roll out. Personne ne fait jamais rien. That translates as, Nobody doesn ' t never do nothing. Ah, how that lightens the heart of the true no-lover. No is a blackness. Black is as little understood as No, and its completeness is abused by the fools who don ' t even like it, but play with it because it is a new toy. Black is more than a colour, it is a state of mind; and more than an op- posite of white, it is the catharsis of white. Black is absolute absence. And you can ' t see a hole, you can only see the walls of a hole. And you can ' t see black because it isn ' t there. A smudge of truly black paint is a poem in itself, if only because it expresses more than a hundred thousand words--or a hundred essays such as this one. It is one of the most beautiful things in the universe- -it is quiet, infinite. . . it is not. Question mark. I see a large (?) rising out of the audience. Please take it back. You aren ' t ready for (?). A question mark is, like black, and, especially like no, the absence of something, anything. Most of us think of it as the absence of an answer. True, it represents man ' s quest for truth, and that is something- - a most important thing. But what, in four thousand years of civilized thought (filled with question marks) has man learned of truth (question mark, period) He asks but he never answers; so there is a lack, a vacuum: there is black. The question mark is no. No isn ' t statement, it is a question. O my reader (yes ' my reader ' --for while you are here reading this, you are experiencing my mind, and while you are in my mind you are mine), I could, as you have no doubt surmised, go on and on about Nothing. But what I have said should be enough to at least let you see No from a different direction. And if you can ' t see it, it ' s only because it isn ' t there. Please remember that my essay is imperfect. In fact, it is all wrong, and I wish you ' d forget it all right away. But you won ' t because, like me, you don ' t understand no, and you can ' t forget you can ' t negate, you are incapable of remembering black in the place where this essay used to be. All you can do is lay these pages down now and whisper a quiet emphatic No TWO POEMS WAR ORPHAN Cringing, crying, craving, crawling, Starved, forgotten child of Hell, Innocence broken by feud of superior minds, Knowing naught but pain and hate, Pure childhood marred by guilt of those Too foolish to realize; too wise to heed. And in a city home, a white child is rocked to sleep, Cradled, clothed, and nourished, Gifted by God, guaranteed a home. The orphan has no home but faith, He often longs for a word of hope, Tonight he may be dead-- Thoughts of death and parting in the twilight Of some quiet era. A knowing smile Between two hearts grown fond, older, Wiser; a scent of earth, of air, of water, A dreadful fear of night, of time itself and A longing for our life, our prime. Of years swallowed up in folly: we die Before the earth yet digests our deeds. The gilded world is but a foil, For our night surely comes: The night comes. BY CAROL ANN OULTRAM PADISHAH HILL he sun poked his head over Padishah Hill and with long, almost lecherous fingers began to remove the cloak of darkness from Liana and the valley in which she lay. One of the fingers found Clayton Seriate leaving his house, on his expedition to the village. Nearby a rabbit shot out of the earth and bounced across the moor. Clayton, otherwise unoccupied, was aware of this and numerous other occurrences to which he would normally have been blind. But, after all, one can ' t return to the norm after an experience like the previous day. It ' s simply impos- sible. Thus he continued down the hill from his home, sublimely aware of things. What experience could push a man to this - to forget his established pattern of life and withdraw out of himself? As many times as he had, to no avail, reviewed the events of the previous day he decided to try just once more. Perhaps in the morning air his motives would be clearer. The day before, Wednesday, had been rather an unorthodox day. Having com- pleted his chores, and with them the morning, he found himself sitting on the porch, as was his custom. While watching the world spin around, Seriate was startled to see a girl climbing his hill- -HIS hill ! Picking HIS flowers ! In the years that he had lived on Padishah Hill he had never seen anyone foolhardy enough to quit the safety of the highway and set foot on Seriate land. Since the death of Thomas Baxter at the hands of Diablo Seriate twenty years ago it seemed that even angels feared to make their way up the hill. But not her! There she was, clearly a hundred yards from the road! As Clayton rose to chase her off, she glanced up and saw him; she hesitated, markedly surprised, then started to- ward him, absolutely unafraid. Toward him ! This was too much. He lept from the porch and scrambled down after her, determined now to break her neck. Yvette Grimoire had finished her Wednesday housecleaning, and it had struck her fancy to wander the moors. When she had seen the young elderly man, his face smothering in a dusty beard, she had been surprised. It was the house that had drawn her off the road and in her haste to examine it, it hadn ' t occurred to her that anyone could live there. She quite liked the design, but was sure that it was the sort that she alone could appreciate. The gentleman had been hurrying down to meet her when his foot caught in a rabbit hole and he had sprawled out like a misshapen starfish. His fall had been so utterly ridiculous that she just had to laugh, and so she did. Damn that stupid rabbit ! What a place to put a burrow ! Clayton made a mental note it wouldn ' t be there tomorrow. Looking up he saw the girl laughing. He rose angrily and was preparing to strike her when suddenly, suddenly he realized that she wasn ' t mocking him. She was. . . oh, the idea was there, but what it was exactly couldn ' t be expressed by any words he knew. She was, in any case different from the ugly people of Liana. Still she laughed. - In his rather moted mind ' s eye, he envisioned his fall. It was hardly hilarious he decided, but perhaps it was somewhat comical. In spite of his sore hip and battered ego he was to a degree able to appreciate how someone unconnected with the incident could laugh at it. For perhaps the first time in his entire life, he enjoyed a degree of empathy with another human being. The bearded man got to his feet, raising his fist as if to strike her, and for the first time since her father ' s death, Yvette was afraid. But his yes locked in hers and as he stared, his face softened ever so slightly. Subsequently a look more embarrassment than anything else invaded his eyes, and for a few infinite seconds they stood locked in a visual embrace. Uneasily he motioned her to join him on the porch. And yet the silence lin- gered. Even after they had taken up position on the swing the sickly noiseless- ness continued. She didn ' t want to speak, for one speaks only when spoken to. Nonetheless his blank look indicated nothing was forthcoming. Curiosity finally took the place of refinement and rather timidly she introduced herself. He had nothing to say. He had had nothing to say for twenty years or more, and for this reason he sat there, just sharing the silence with her. He longed to look at her eyes again, but a quick glance would be worse than not seeing them at all. He would have to study them, and that would seem like staring. No, that wouldn ' t do at all. He enjoyed living alone too much. And so he gazed over the hill, contemplating, enjoying secure. And then it was all shattered. The girl had found the gall to destroy the silence, to upset his delicately tuned ears, and with nothing to say. It was only I ' m. . . followed by some gibberish that must have been her name. Maybe it wasn ' t quite so unimportant. He had yearned to talk to someone for such a long time; now here was the chance and he was passing it by. What a fool ! What to say? She had told him her name, it seemed like the sort of thing one does. Now his name, his name. . . The words stumbled off his tongue. He hadn ' t heard his own voice since. . . The first rapids cleared, Yvette was in mid-stream. Like an archeologist with a frail find she gingerly began brushing away the mystery with gentle questions, receiving at first rather curt answers. Nevertheless, he slowly opened up into a torrent of thoughts and words, slightly garbled, but comprehensible. She was asking questions. He didn ' t like that much at first, but as he felt her seeminly genuine interest, as he enjoyed the pleasure of having someone listen, he babbled on, telling her about the moon, the sun, and most of all, about the valley. His th oughts came faster than his tongue could follow - twenty three years to be relived before sundown. Finally he surprised both of them. Where do you live? He had no idea why he had asked it. He really couldn ' t care less where she lived; the fact that she was there, with him, should have been enough. She too was startled. No one had ever really cared where she lived, even enough to ask. She answered and the monologue worked its way into a conversation. And the day wore on. It was likely a mistake, he knew that and yet he didn ' t care. He hoped she wouldn ' t give him over to the world. She was different, as was he. She bore no resemblance to those lonely old women who used to come around with their unfail- ing smiles, their Important Things to Say, and their total incomprehension. She smiled only at the right times, and if a point was unclear she would look puzzled, and he ' d explain. Maybe, maybe she was interested. The afternoon fled before the night, and still they sat. But she had to return to Liana, and so he walked her halfway down the hill, as far as the rabbit hole, whence she faded down the moor, and disappeared into the lowlands. She had asked him to come visit the next day. She would show him Liana, and give him a chance to see the changes. He had never seen Liana and was certain to be unimpressed by any change. Nonetheless it would please her if he visited. He slept little that night, debating, wondering, worrying. Had it been a dream, or worse still a bad joke ? Nothing was clearer. He was still muddled. And he was still on his way to town, timidly unaware of the human race he was about to discover. He was off to make his visit. And that was all.

FIFTH REPORT ON GRIEVANCES By Gord Bagley Standing starkly On a darkened shore of despair. Watching, afraid and lustful; Time scumming towards eternal fires. Watching sadly, as the hills Of nothing scrape the cancered Brains of decay. Blindly I cry, while Curdled ears slither stealthily Past the meaning of oblivion. Walking silently, superficially, Laughing, at comical sighs of love; Staring at the claws of society Scratching into the cavernous depths Of what the world has meant. Listening, quietly crying At the cascading sounds Of anarchy and death. Watching, while they pour Filth onto the pornigraphic pumpkins That lie rotting on the borders of war. Tear ing tearfully, Flesh from the ravaged skeleton Of a tarnished eagle. Where has the glory gone? Apollo has deserted the Smelling gardens of God. The children are growing in the ways of Hell and Lucifer smiles. Standing starkly, deftly mute; Sounds are silence to my sodden ears. Downs of stoney Mondays in my mind, Outside, the great chase slackens on.

SENIOR SPARTANS For the past three years, the Spartans have dominated the London football con- ference. For the last two of those three years, the Spartan team has finished un- defeated city champions. This type of suc- cess is by no means common (only one other school besides Beck has ever won two championships in a row) in the highly competitive London District High School Football Conference. The Spartan ability to win does not stem from luck. There is a special tradition that is instilled in Spartan teams, beginning with the very first practice. Although the team usually is small in both number and size, it carries a far greater weapon than bulk onto the playing field. Spartans have an intense desire to win, drive that will not let up, and a spirit that will not be daunted. There is a certain pride that each player has in himself and those that play with him. The team func- tions as a unit, AND a powerful one at that, each player continually doing his best. It is the ability to fight back when behind, never giving up, and the belief that per- severance, reasoning and conditioning can overcome the greatest odds, that makes Mike Essex, Hans Valkenier, Jim Kelly, Randy Heimple, Stan Diavolitsis, Gary Footwinkler. Dave Vowles, Julian Bialkowski, Pete Smolders, Jim Lapthorne, Jimm Barr, Mr. Chapman, captain; Wayne Thornton, Co-captain; John Cirello, Brian Woodley, John Giokas, Jeff FOOTBALL the Spartans what they are. This of course does not happen by chance. A football team does only as well as it is coached. The Spartans are lucky in having two of the city ' s best coaches to teach them to play football in a winning style: Mr. Dunlop, the head coach, had an extraordinary ability to instill that pecul- iar tradition. He usually coaches the of- fensive squad, taking an unorganized group of boys and polishing them to their best possible degree of efficiency. Mr. Stuart had, by the end of his first week of practices, shown his own coaching ability. He took control of the defensive squad, making them a unit that rattled any of- fensive opponent they encountered. Much more could be said, but, on reflecti on, let this be known: the 1967 Spartan team wishes to thank these coaches, the greatest factors for Spartan success, for a great season and at the same time wishes them the best of luck and success with future teams ! !

How clearly do you see your future ? Are you personally committed to a certain goal? Are you dedicated to a specific aim? The Library was filled; as the Conference began. According to Mr. Walker, the purpose of his organization is to encourage youth participation in World Affairs. He feels that every generation needs a challenge and a cause. Our cause is not to change, but to expose. And, since we have the means, the challenge is to our will ! We are being educated on the premise that the world will not change. For this reason, we find it easy to get used to some burdens and not feel that they are problems anymore. We take them for granted. This is how the disagreements between the Havers and the Wanters have arisen. Two thirds of the world is made up of the wanters --groups such as the FLQ or the Mobs in Detroit, etc. We are undergoing a revolution of rising expectations. We are getting more sophisticated and we are demanding and expecting more. To balance this with our needs, we must have more co- operation in international development in the future. The world ' s population will be doubled by the year 2000, but food pro- duction MUST be quadrupled if we are to survive. The only way of succeeding is through total dedication to education. WE ARE NOT OUR BROTHER ' S KEEPERS, BUT OUR BROTHER ' S BROTHERS! WE MUST HELP HIM TO HELP HIMSELF. If increased, Foreign Aid will provide the potential and the resources for this. The Seventh Annual Current Affairs Club Conference, presented by our Cur- rent Affairs Club for the Students of the City of London, was held on Saturday, October 14, here at Beck, with 16 schools participating. This year ' s conference was especially interesting and informa- tive due to the fact that no politicians were invited as speakers. All speakers, rather, propounded many new and con- troversial ideas in a straight-forward and clear manner. They presented such thought-provoking questions as those above, posed by Mr. Hugh Bremner of CFPL Radio in his introduction of Mr. James Walker from the Centennial Inter- national Development Program, of Ottawa. Mr. James Walker, the keynote speaker. THE COMMITTED AFFAIRS ' 67- ' 68 Through apprenticeship, our brothers can learn and become more involved in the world- -not just be helped, but help others ! Professor G. Milburn intro- duces the morning panel dis- cussion. ward. It was justified by the fact that school boards are electorally responsible to those of a very select strata of society. This strata includes mostly businessmen who are interested in the student be- cause; in the future, these businessmen will be hiring him. Students are also restricted because the teacher controls the way you learn certain knowledge. We must smash the critical barrier and stop to ask our- selves how it is possible to gi ve the best answer under given circumstances. We must also be allowed to take other views into consideration and evaluate their worth. The teacher should be the guide, not the spoon-feeder. Students are not motivated enough. This topic of education was carried through in the next series of speakers. Professor G. Milburn of Althouse College and an originator of these conferences, introduced the panel, whose subject was The Role of the Student in the School. In his introduction, he noted the recent explosion of knowledge, and the changes in outlook on discipline. Today the stu- dent wants a greater say in what he learns and how he learns it, with more freedom to discuss things or change his mind. The panel- -Mr. Peter Schwartz, Moderator; Mr. Peter Larson, Mr. Andrew Wright (all of UWO)— continued this theme, feeling that education is for, and of, society. They argued that only 25% of a person is stimulated in the classroom; he learns the rest outside. We are developed through disciplined education. We must be taught, however, to fit into society, rather than just being taught a job. There must be the means for a student to be what he wants, not what others want him to be ! The idea that the business world decides on the educational system and the type of student produced was put for- University students were also among our guests. Their lack of any constructive ideas to- wards change is generated by an illusion of powerlessness. They are undergoing a value revolution and need to accept and be trusted with more authority. This is being greatly ignored by the administra- tion and the whole school stystem. These authority figures are the greatest bar- riers to the student. Dr. S. E. Maine introduces the afternoon panel discussion. Operation Cross-Roads Africa is quite similar to the groups already described. Their aims are the same, although their work camps are distributed internationally. CUSO, Canadian University Students Overseas, is an extended Cross-Roads Africa. These Young Canadians work for two year terms overseas, and are paid by the nation in which they are working. They are interested, as well, in developing relationships with the people to share customs and knowledge. The above are only several of the endless and varied roles that the student can assume outside the school. These are ways in which we- -Mr. Walkers ' Havers --can be committed. By con- tributing to other areas, we thus con- tribute to Canada. We can do something ! We mustn ' t just let the world go by ! We are members of a larger com- munity than Canada. The problems of the world affect our own little problems. Unless you have relations and inter- actions with others, forcing your atten- tion towards others, you will become disillusioned, like the hippies, who are The student should be more of an in- dividual, not having to continue to ad- here to a prescribed curriculum. A student must be trained to be free-- because that ' s how he will be in society, out of the protective and sheltered em- brace of the school. Let us remember, however, the goodness of the system of education today ! The afternoon session was devoted to a panel discussion on The Role of the Student Outside the School. Dr. S. F. Maine introduced the Moderator, Mr. Charles Brown. The latter, chair- man of the Canadian Committee of Operation CrossRoads Africa, intro- duced the other members of the panel: Miss Betty Plewes, a member of Operation CrossRoads Africa; Mr. Bill Curry, from the Company of Young Canadians; and Miss Paula Knopf, a stu- dent at Oakridge Secondary School and a member of Summer of Service in 1967. Summer of Service is a volunteer organization in which teens and young adults try to determine the needs and problems in a community, and to over- come them. They set up projects and teach the people how to continue after the Volunteers ' Departure. The company of Young Canadians has been called a Canadian Peace Corps. Their aim is to harness the energy of youth, and to attempt, with government aid, beneficial social actions. Two thirds of the members are volunteers, who hope that, through experimenation, they can narrow the gap between the af- fluent and the poor. Miss Betty Plewes, of Operation CrossRoads Africa. searching for a goal. The New Morality is the need and desire to share very meaningful things, to become an authentic, real person, to reach out to all. By channelling our feelings we can prove that Where there is a Will, there is a Way. If. I f Mr. Rice, former teacher renews an acquaintanceship with Professor Milburn, also a former teacher at Beck. Mr. Charles Brown, and Miss Paula Knopf participate in a panel discussion. There are so many problems and such a variety of answers, not one of which is perfect. BUT we have so many gifts: we are the havers. Why not share our bounties with the wanters? We ' re still at the stage of Doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Will we ever succeed? Many questions were asked by interested students. COMMENCEMENT ' 67 This year ' s commencement was a special affair. In addition to honouring graduates and prize winners, our mural was unveiled. The ceremony, which took place in the foyer was televised on a closed circuit to enable the audience in the auditorium to view the proceedings. The mural, by London artist Herb Ariss, combines sculpture with painting to pro- vide a unique and attractive Centennial project. Art student Bob Fones, one of many graduates present. Miss K.H. Dolan, who until 1963 was Beck ' s librarian, was also in attendance. A group of recent graduates enjoys memories of Beck. Mr. H. S. Stewart, and Mr. R. T. Macaulay, both former Beck teachers. Mr. H. J. Ariss, the artist, ad- dresses the television audience. Bob Zinner, former Students ' Council president. Mr. B.H. Robinson directs the closed circuit telecast of the unveiling ceremony. ... of course, a commencement ceremony has little interest for graduates -to- be. . . 95 OUR TOWN Our Town, a rather quaint play by Thorton Wilder, was the choice of the Player ' s Guild for performance this year. This play depicts the life of a small town through the course of the years. It por- trays the lives of George Gibbs (played by Joe Zeeman) and Emily Webb (Sharon Moad), their romance, marriage and finally Emily ' s death. Interwoven with this plot were scenes with other townsfolk such as choir practice (the Choral Ensenble) and the malt shop. While it isn ' t a spec- tacle of any sort, Our Town beautifully portrayed the life and times of a small town. Casting for the play began late in the fall term under the guiding eyes of Mr. Fowler and after innumerable rehearsals, and a great amount of shuffling among the cast 3 times) the play was performed. A seat was to sell at one dollar, but due to royalties and one thing or another, the admission was dropped. Director McCausland and Producer McAlister led the entire cast to a most successful presentation. It was however, found that the captive audience of the senior school was less sensitive to the play than the juniors. The final performance was attended by a critic from the Gazette for U. W. O. and was written up in their special high school issue. Our Town did us proud indeed. ADVERTISING y r a n a e vS I o o .
