SMARION and DOROTHY CHILDS y~Ladies' Wear M and backstage preparation culminated in a fine perfor- mance of the children s play "~The Pink Dragon". The play was performed in, the -gym- nasium 50 that the actors could bring the action as close as possible to the audience. Debbie MacDonald excelled as the beautiful Princess 'Pinkie. The step-sister (Ellen Vaneyk), with the help of ber mother (1.aura Kaptyn) and a local witch (Sandy Jensen) plot to turn Pinkie into an ugly dragon. The enchantment is only broken when a brave warrior (Lawrence Taylor) refuses to draw his sword against ber. Comedy abounds in the play but two performances of particular note were those of the squire (Cameron Grant) and the chamberlain (Janice Dowie). 'These characters were ably supported by the king (Scott Suddard) the ladies in waiting (Patti McKenna, Linda Vetzal and Nancy Downes), the cat (Darlene Patenaude) and the villa ers (Gale Heard Deb Coul, Marie Jobnson, M-àÙg Hall and Carol Thoropson). Lawrence Taylor and Julia Eyman designed the dragon, and the fanciful set' and costumes were created by Bev, Barb and Donna Daigle, bori Bennett, Betty Kuyer, Lynn Tink and Sheila Mar- chant. The entire performance was superbly accompanied by pianist Brian McGill. Congratulations on a fine performance!

Do you have any idea of the hours of work and travelling~ required to have a recording made? Well, a group at St. Mary of the People Parish, on Stevenson Road North in Oshawa certainly, know, as their first album is about to be released. To those 'ho attend St. Ma ry's, they're simply the Folk Group who lead the congregation in singing at the 12 Noon Mass each Sunday, but according to the front of their Album. thev're- "The Lovin' Sound". The Group has been active for approximately B$.H.SO History Concentr ates ohn Canadian, by Jean Ablvik This year the bhistory de- partment of BH.S. offered three new courses at the year one level. As a result, the enrolîment at that level doubl- ed. Gary Milovich, Head~ of the History Department plans to rework tbe second year courses next year, and tbe third year courses the year, after. In five year-s, tbe entire programi will be complefely revamped. Mr. Milovîch feels that at least one year is needed f0 muil over curriculum changes at eacb level. lie feels that most of the courses need up-dafing to meef the iîterests and needs of to-davs students. 'Great Men and Bio- graphy' is one1 of the new grade nine courses. If deals wîfh Canadian personalifies and current affairs. The students study the policies and philosophies of suchj diverse characters as Marc Lalonde and Stompin' Tom Connors. "Native Studies" and 'Civili- zation' are the othier courses offered at the year one level. Mr. Milovich is, currently revamping the year two courses for next year. The twentieth century Canadian course will concentrate on social istory especially dur- ing the Depression period. Another year two course called "The Now World" will deal with contemporary Can-, adian issues. Mr. Milovîck is getfing, help from Dick Bowles, formerly of Black- stock, and presently teaching at the College of Educafion, University of Toronto. Mr. Bowles is a founding member of the Canadian Studies Foun- dation, an organization which funds local ind regional study Srojects. The final year fwo istory course deals with the poltical hisfory of the North Atlantic triangle but will be changed f0 concentrafe more on the Canadian scene. As if stands now, the third year Politics course attempts to show students how political decisions are made and whaf role the individual can play in this process. The Ancient His- tory course is also taughf at the third level. Despite ifs tra- ditional flavor. if is sfîll a popular course. Wben the vofing age was lowered in 1972, Mr. Milovicb insfituted a survey course in Canadian History and Polifîcs wi th, the expressed intention of educating the students f0 vote. The course proved f0 be s0 successful t ha t if continues virfually unchanged. Another hisfory option offered at the year four level is a Man and Society course which again treats contemporary issues but this time from a sociolog- ical angle. For example, they do a detailed examinafion of a French village, frying f0 understand the cultural patt- erns and apply them f0 their, own experience. The advanc- ed level course attempts f0 show how all of the "isms" (nationalism, socialism, com- munism, fascism and even capitalîsrn) originally grew ouf of some form of revolution. The final year bistory course is a survey of Canadian and American history. If is primarily a reading and wrîfing course wbich concen- tra tes on developing skills that will be useful in university. "I want f0 give them (the senior students) any edge, possible for universify,' ex- plains Mr. Milovich. In facf, in bis objectives for teacbing history, Mr. Milovich ranks skill development right beside giving the student an idea of' the hows and whys of, the development 0f civili- zation. In the specifically Canadian selise,,Mi. hM.ilov[chý aiso wants students to absorb some notion of the Canadian identity and the relationship Canada has to the rest of the world. Mr. Milovich is an inveter- af e studenit himself. Hie al- ready holds a Masters of Education in administration and now hie is working on a Masters of Educafion in curriculum. "This is the only way you can keep in touch wifh what is going on,' lie explains. Hie feels that the cur- riculum developmrent courses will help -hîm in revising courses and developing new ones. iio short it will help lhim do is job well as a teacher. Mr. lvihcame tio B mlanlle ý,fromingfo fu years ago. lie en1joys teacbing at BH.S. and finds the students much less cynical than tbe, students in larger centres.

Merry Christmais!, VARIETY STORE Dolly and Frank and Staff BOWM&NVILLE four years, and has been beard in many of the Churches within the city and surround- ing communities during -Wed- dings and other special Ser- vices. Bowmanville has be- come quite familiar to the Group this year with their participation in the, Scout's Own Baden Powell Service last winter, and recently at a Sing-Along Evening of Folk Music with the Jack & Jîli Club at Trinity United Church. Last month, the Youth Group. at St. John's Anglican Church spent an evening sminn with ~The bovin', Soun'during their regular Prayer Service., Last February, the Folk Group decided the time, was right to 'begin this 'tiring exercise', but with a real purpose - to help people in need. A Priest from Ghana, Africa visited St. Mary's one Sunday and explained, in his beautiful African manner, some of the many ways in whicb suffering exists in his country. His sincerity touched many that morning including "The bovin' Sound", and so a purpose' for the Album was born. Alf proceeds from the sale of this record will go to assist these impoverished pepein a land where scolshoes and drinking water are stili uncommon. Weeks of rehearsals ani recording sessions were coin- pleted in Oshawa with the technical abilities of Paul Lawrence, and the finishhing touch was added at the R.C.A. Recording Studio in Torýonto. Using acoustic guitars, a harmonica, tambourine and a bass guitar, "The bovin' Sound" has produced an b.P. that reflects the type of music sun g in many churches across our land, in Folk-style partici- pati on. Songs like Follow Me, Where Have Ahl the Flowers Gone and Blowin' in the Wind are among some of the sixteen selections recorded. As Rev. Norbert Gignac, Pastor ofSt. Mary's', writes on the back of the Album: "Thanks to the committed perseverence, the hours of patient and exacting rehearsal of people like those who have given us 'The bovin' Sound', Catholics, we have The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 23, 1974, 7 found, are being stimulated bring "The bovin' Sound" into and activated to let 'their their homes and perhaps, as aý voices 'RING OUT'."
