Installed at the new Lord Elgin School In Burlington and which has been made available to schools in Halton County County benefit Director of Business and Commerce Ian McQIlllvray is enthusiastic about tho now course This Is one way In which the County Board System has benefited us a school our size could never offer computer faculties on its own We still have the regular accounting and programs along with some Marketing and Law he points out but this new course Is something that students might really get worked up about The Data Processing trip was another example of tho trend towards the outdoor education philosophy Certainly the classroom Is place for theory says principal Dave but real learning occurs when the theory Is seen In practical application Outdoor education can refer to any organized learning situation of school and might be regarded as the new terminology for field trips It Is new only because It has been placed In a new perspective Reversing the idea that if you know the theory you be able to put It into practice supporters of the outdoor education philosophy claim that the theory Is best learned and understood by seeing it applied Comes olives The classroom can be a sterile place comments Ian McGUllvray but outdoor education can make it come alive Obviously the new emphasis will result In a greater number of Student reports on conference BUSINESS EQUIPMENT AND DATA PROCESSING CONFERENCE ByBarbBeler On Thursday October a group of business students from Acton High School went on a field trip to Toronto Under the supervision of Mr Shean and Mr the students left the school at noon and travelled by bus to the Exhibition Park The purpose of this outing was to attend The Canadian Data Processing Conference The theme of the conference was Understanding Computer Capability and Profit Potential Computers role A large number of people seem to lack confidence In the modem applications of today This results from not appreciating the full role the computer can play in any given business To many persons who are unfamiliar with the various functions of the computer it Is only a machine capable of answering simple problems However Its function extends far beyond this The computer Is today problem solving business tool Try machines The students of Acton District High School found this Business Show extremely Interesting All were welcome to try out the various machines that were on display at the conference Questions asked by the students were answered in detail by representatives of the Data Systems Division of each respective company Even though the group was unable to stay long everyone enjoyed themselves The majority of the students are looking forward to a similar trip in the near future All in all the Data Processing trip was a success ventures outside of the school And what the students see and learn they will have done first hand School store Although outdoor education has the advantages of making learning more Interesting and meaningful It Is not always practical The Business and Commerce department has an alternative If you can take the students Into the outside world bring the outside world into the school This Is exactly what teachers Ian and Boris Shean have In mind In connection with a school store Business students and primarily the marketing class will be trying their hand at some real commercial activities right in the school buying selling advertising and hopefully making a profit The venture should prove to be a valuable experience for the young en and will provide a much needed service to the student body Elect direct on A makeshift store operation had been unveiled on the first day of school but it was intended to sell only a few essentials until such a time as the marketing class could take over Now a board of directors has been elected It Is made up of students Randy Coker president Ron Steven Milne and Nancy Gibson Purchasing agent Wayne Bar is In the process
