ByJsneMmuer enrolment ud decreasing financial support from the province arc about the only thorns in the side of Board of Education according to Wally Beevor who made the remarks during an Education Week Beevor who has been with the board for one claims its programs are second to none He said the nationally respected system operates within a million budget offering one of the lowest costs per pupil in the province Utilizing his opportunity to speak directly to the public he highlighted achievements of the local board and the direction of education In genera At the top of the list was the fact more students are being retained in the system than at any other time In history Probably the most pertinent point in the eyes of hia audience was the boards efforts to bridge the gap between business and schools Work experience programs which in some cases nave expanded into co operative education programs have served to enhance students who return to school with an education of how the business community operates Mr ex plained He noted 560 students in the region are Involved in coop programs Further growth has resulted in the linkage program which allows high school students to become in volved In apprenticeship programs The province has great hopes for Tilling the void in skilled trades he said Many achievements His list of achievements of the board included the outstanding per formances of students the system produces who have proved themselves In BEfcVOR public speaking competitions science fairs math contests athletic events language and drama competitions A diverse curnculum and opportunities in education for the mentally retarded gifted and learning disabled students are other measures of achievement acknowledged by the director Relating to exceptional students Mr Beevor remarked on Bill 82 and its potential to enhance education Halton began to move toward the aims of the legislation even before the Bill was introduced If we go back a few years the offered substantial grants for special educe tion and rial ton took advantage of these along with eight or nine other boards said Mr He described Bill B2 as giving parents legislative assurance their child will get special education quelled another fear saying average needs will continue to be looked after Declining enrolment brought about by the lowering of birth rates is a problem throughout in general although in Milton the tide has not yet chanted for the worse Mr Beevor pointed out the aging teach force necessitating professional development training and motivating as a problem Of direct concern to taxpayers is the province tightening of funds paid direct to individual boards Grants from the province have been decreasing on a yearly basis the last eight years the director explained This year received a 1 per cent increase in grants from the province paid the bill for per cent of the boards expenses this year compared with 46 per cent in 1982 The problem is even more evident in Toronto where the provincial Ministry of Education pays only per cent toward the operation of education in that city and is anticipating no provincial contributions at all next year In closing Mr Beevor shared a Chinese with his audience If you plan for one year plant rice 1 you plan for years trees If you plan for 100 years educate young men and women Soloists deli Hamilton choir weaves a Spring spell at Knox Master of Ceremonies Jack Carpenter jokingly told those in the balcony of Knox Church for the Hamilton Orpheus Malt Choirs concert Friday night that it was closest theyd ever get to heaven That wai before the male voices sang under the of director Harry and a spell for both those in the nave and balcom of Knox Church It was an evening to remember With over 50 voices in the choir and two excellent guest artists the choir completely captivated those who took advantage of the concert sponsored by Walker Lodge 321 and the Knox Presbyterian Choir Proceeds of the concert will be used to help the Hamilton choir on a musical tour of Great Britain next year The event was also an effort to revit community spirit in Acton by bringing people together in a setting they can enjoy and participate In a social evening after wards Both the director Harry and members TOWK Country DRY GLEANING 8770387 HILLS SHOPPING CENTRE Simon CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT 8770109 Street Georgetown Ontario

Hall and the warm welcome they received at the reception afterwards from the people of the commiui The choir formed in 1978 has made a name for Itself with appearances In such halls as the Niagara Convention Centre Hamilton Place at the Toronto Caravan and at and has cut two albums both of which were available after Fridays concert Mr Harry said it took two or three years to bring the choir Up to its present level of excellence It was obvious to the apprec iative audience Friday that It was one of the musical highlights of the last decade with a definite Welsh stamp although cholr are a mix of several nationalities The choir performed music they could handle well and which suited male voices particularly Serenade spiri tuals and folk songs and In their choice of hymns Director Harry is of Welsh the choir reflected the world of poet Dylan Thomas and the ageless hills of Wales Probably their most impressive piece of work was the Dies which Is Latin for day of wrath taken from the Requiem Mass In D Minor Those who saw The Prisoner starring English actor Alex Guineas in which he played an Imprisoned cardinal In the Balkan countries probably can remember the sombre Dies Irae theme This interpretation of the work was a new experience for music lovers probably sung on this continent for the first time accord- ing to director Harry The new arrangement took some of the out of the music and added more exultation without losing the majesty of the Latin words The 14 minute piece concluded with a tremendous Amen and a pregnant pause followed before the realization sank in that the work was finished The Dies Irae may have been the most impressive piece but the choirs handling of those old favorite hymns When I Survey the Wondrous Cross and the Dutch Jehovah the Lord Will Provide gave gave vent to the timbre of fine male voices In the realm of romance San Francisco Harbor the of a young lady who sings to the moon and prays her boy friend on ship in San Francisco keeps safe to a haunting Welsh melody was particularly moving The choir also proved its versatility with a robust Russian folk song with the deep of the Volga Boat Song preceding and concluding and the male voices showed to advantage In contrast to the powerful voices or the choir the two guest soloists Dawn Taylor and Elizabeth Wood added another slon to the concert Contralto Taylor chose numbers that brought out the richness of her voice and the audience demanded an en core which she obliged Second soloist Elizabeth Wood was an instant hit when she thrilled the aria from Jubilate by Mozart more fa mil I known as the Alleluia The remarkable range of her voice was also evident In an aria from one of Puccinis operas and again in Summertime from the street opera Porgy and Bess Her rendition Summertime was worth the price of admission alone one music lover lauded Miss Woods encore Hear Gentle Lark was an exercise in vocal gymnastics which drew a standing ovation from the audience The performance of both the choir and the soloists was aided by the unusually fine piano accompaniment both by Fred and director Harry Following In the footsteps of the Welsh
