10 the acton free pno wednesday sapt 25 1968 1 ommercul section at ad h s and hat been teaching in acton for the past four years he has clasaes bi business commerce and bookkeeping 1 for grades 10 hand 12 pedagogues are peop ew support a hippie sewer wear swinging swarves ian mcgillivray claims hes the quiet type he hates chum like girl in curly hair and frills coaches junior boys basketball and says ike hardest thing about teaching is getting up in the morning in high school he thought he would like to become a jlet pilot once at the university of saskatchewan he swam with the school swim team for a year thought about going into medicine took an active paif ill the commerce and economics clubs and gradually channelled into business he entered the working world as a salesman before becoming a teacher the only uncomfortable experience he can recall as a teacher was during his first year in acton he admits he had the habit of saying thats very true every time he got a right i ntwer then one day he caught the students mimicking htm with thats very tuebut and from then on started a campaign to wipe the phrase from his mind many people have accused mr mcgillivray of not letting enough things bother him he admits i tust dont worry about things however one of his biggest pet peeves is students who conw to school to keep warm in the winter i hate to see people particularly students day dreaming their time away and not working to realize their dreams all t really look for in students is a willingness to work bookkeeping is not something you can look at once and know you learn by working mr mcgillivray finds that girls often get the best marks in his classes but he adds im not sure that they are necessarily understanding it better they just work harder at it final exams are fine with him depending qjwhat they ajte supposed to prove in many cases they force a student to organize his knowledge and work under pressure it is good training because when you get out in the working world you will be under continual pressure to produce within a specific lime mr mcgillivray would like lo see a change in the altitude of some students on the five year program they tend to look down on the rest of the school and think that getting a degree is the only acceptable thing to do he feels there should be expanded facilities for people who dont fit into the regular academic stream it doesnt necessarily mean they are not as bright they merely have different interests when asked for his conception of femininity mr mcgillivray was quick with a few things he doesn t consider feminine i havej nothing against ftng hairbut in the eyes and i dont think miniskirts or boots are feminine im old fashioned i think the new hair styles that are curly and the softer lines in dresses with frills and things are a step in the right direction he hates chum i dont like anything connected with chum even if another station mentions theyre getting chummy i switch them off i like square musicfolk western blues light classics and mood music for the past four summers he has been taking summer courses and hasnt had time formany extra activities outside of reading his next long range plan is to get a house but he concludes that the housing situation is not very good in acton right now a hint to his studentsthe one thing he regrets about ins own schooling is that he

material but inevitably there were eight girls with no one to invite to the next party under the circumstances we could have been disillusioned for life instead we became champion sublimators to
