The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 1, 1986 13 Bowmanville High School News Local Pathfinders Enjoy Trip to Britain by Merrilee Brown, Editor-in-chief by Laura Silver, Co-editor Editorial: The Expense of Learning by Laura Silver Sunday: It's now become too expensive to do my homework. homework. No, I'm not paying to have it done for me and the price of pencils is still minimal. minimal. I bought my notebook on sale. Yet, I simply can't afford to do my homework, I don't mean I can't afford to do any of it. I can handle Art, Chemistry, Chemistry, English, French, Physics, Physics, Law and Music. But that leaves one subject, doesn't it? It leaves Math. Math! I just can't do it. It's not a lack of understanding on my part, and it's not that I don't like it. It's simply too expensive. You' ask,"What's the pro blem?" The problem is this: I have no math text. After talking to over thirty people, and requesting over thirty times the loan of a math textbook, I've found that contrary contrary to popular belief, there are not oodles of people eager to part with their books. Once in possession of the cherished MATHEMATICS 12, students are very protective of it. I don't blame them. The situation is this: There is a shortage of grade 12 math books this year due to increased increased enrollment. It's not a serious serious shortage. Of the 150 (my rough estimate) students taking the course, there are perhaps five people without books. I'm one of the five. My fellow students and I were advised to "buddy up" until more textbooks could be found.

CA Highway 401 and Liberty St W. Bowmanville Kreisz, informed us that no more textbooks would be a- vailable for some time, yet we are still responsible for homework homework assigned. Mr. Kreisz suggested borrowing a textbook textbook or photocopying the work. As I mentioned above, borrowing a book is, I've found extremely difficult. So, I suppose I will have to resort to photocopying. Hence, the expense. expense. And why should five people have to pay to do homework homework when others get homework homework bestowed upon them for free? In answer, Mr. Hubbs stated that he was aware of the problem and the school is doing its best to borrow textbooks textbooks from neighbouring high schools. I calculated the cost of photocopying my math notes for the entire year (approx. 38 weeks) having ten pages of homework per week. To photocopy photocopy my notes at the $.07 store in Oshawa would cost $26.00 per annum, without the gas to get me there. I would have to get there three times a week as homework must be completed completed every two days. To photocopy my notes at B.H.S., where it costs $.20 a copy would mean $76.00 per annum. Hopefully textbooks will be available before my budget is shot. As I mentioned, Math is great but right now its a bit expensive. as successful.

Pathfinders. Tanya Ketela, of Selina, and Cathy Sale, of Enniskillen, Enniskillen, flew for their first time on a three week trip to England England this past summer. Tanya and Cathy were two of the 16 girls selected to travel, from their Central Area, on this year's international international exchange trip. The exchange program is not a set annual event, however if the opportunity rises to make an exchange the pathfinders are always glad to participate. It is possible for a pathfinder pathfinder to participate in the exchange exchange program only once every four years. This will enable other girls to travel also. In addition to the sixteen Guides, four Guide leaders attend the England trip as official chaperones. During the girl's stay in England they attended the official reception for the Lord Mayor of Burningham, which Tanya described as "a beautiful place and really really big." The girls also attended a four day camping trip with the English Guides, but this wasn't a highlight of then- trip since they soon discovered discovered that camping involved involved being out on deserted deserted land in an open field. However they were provided provided with indoor washroom washroom facilities and showers, showers, so it wasn't exactly roughing it. They really enjoyed their trip to London to sightsee, but the one thing that stands out the most in the girls' minds is all the friends they met. "The main goal of the trips are to promote international international friendship," said Liz Kerr, Guide leader. Tanya and Cathy were surprised to find about 20 other girls from various areas of Canada travelling day October 2, from 7-9 p.m. at the arena.

Cathy Salo (left), of Enniskillen, and Tanya Ketela, of Solina, were two of the girls who travelled to England for three weeks this past summer. They saw the sights and met new friends, which represents the Pathfinders' main goal, "To promote international friendship." England too. They even met a few girls from the Toronto and Oshawa area. Accommodations were set up in Olave houses, which are Guiding centres looking similar to a hostel. In order to participate in the trip the pathfinders must be selected from a Guiding seleciton committee. committee. The girls must then, prepare a letter to be submitted submitted to the committee, fill out an application form and provide references from the Guiding organization as well as outside sources. The selection process is based on the number of points a Pathfinder receives receives according to their submissions. Each item in their information is given points. And a high number of points is required for a camping trip.; Tanya and Cathy both received a high point ranking since they are actively involved in various community events, many Guide camping trips, and they also help out with the Brownie organization. The approximate cost of the trip for each Pathfinder was $1,500. Several community community groups and Guiding movements held fundraising fundraising events or donated towards towards the girls' expense. Both Tanya and Cathy would like to extend their appreciation to the support given to them by their communities. communities. The international exchange exchange program will continue continue until next summer, at which lime the English girls will visit Canada for three weeks and spend time with the girls. Tanya and Cathy are both looking forward to showing them the sights when they arrive. Tanya has been involved with Brownies and Guides for the past nine years and Cathy has been for the past seven years. Both girls are working towards towards their Canada Cord, which is the highest Guide achievement. If the girls continue on in Pathfinders and Rangers they will work towards their Duke of Edin- borough and Ranger Emblems.
