clearly shows its a school with a difference Probably the biggest dlf Terence is In the attitude of the pupils While they are much like other high school students in Halton the students seem to possess a degree of maturity not seen in other schools They have much to prove both to themselves and the community since they are often wrongly viewed as poor students delinquents and a burden the community and school system must endure As with any group there are the bad apples They go to as they will future employers regular high schools in Halton too However the vast majority of Wolfe pupils

they hope the board decides in favor of the north Each day over youth from Georgetown sing Milton ana Acton are bused to Gen Wolfe Oakvllle and General Brock Burlington because there are no voca la rial facilities in the north In March General Brock celebrated 10 years or opera with a week of special activities On May Wolfe is holding its annual open house Glenn a senior instructor at Wolfe is careful not to get embroiled in the argument regarding the cost versus the value of having vocational facilities in the north He admits students have frequently told him they don relish the daily round trip bus ride and he can appreciate their feelings but he also understands the economics of the situation One thing he emphasized was that every effort is made by staff of the vocational schools to make sure north cm pupils t penalized and dont miss out on any thing just because they live far away from the schools The open house the two schools have this year could turn out to be wonderful inducement to trustees to spend for north vocational facilities a topic of debate for more than five years While enrolment is ingat both schools it is sure to drop substantially If a voca tlonal school materializes in the north Board officials believe there are quite a number of north pupils who would like to be In vocational school but dont go because of the long bus ride If vocational facilities do open In the north it might not be until The vocational school would be in either a new Milton high school or in EC whlch the board is consider ing moving into they generally have
