4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 11, 1974 Section Two Penske, Donohue May Dominate Grand Prix A sportsman with world- wide respected expertise in the field of motor racing, Roger Penske seldom gam- bles. In fact he is a gentleman who plays to win. This is one of the reasons why Penske's recently unveil- ed Formula One car just may assume the role of the spoiler when it enters its first competition, the Labatt's 50 Grand Prix of Canada at Mosport Park, September 20, 21 and 22. The Grand Prix circuit will switch from Europe to North America with two of the fifteen races remaining - the Canadian and U.S. Grands Prix.

R. 3 - Bowmanville driver Mark Donohue, is able to field a competitive car he could end up playing a part in deciding who will capture the 1974 World Driving Champion- ship, by placing ahead of some of the front runners. And there is every reason to believe that Penske's new racer designated the PC-1, will be a strong contender. The car was built at Penske's new facility in England the design developed from confe- rences between Donohue, Pen- ske and English designer Geoffrey Ferris. Finishing a Grand Prix is usually considered a success for any newly developed G.P. team and winning is the objective but considered rare until the team has matured. Donohue, a former racing standout, bas had a full two months of testing in order to put together a team which may be capable of capturing valuable World Championship points. Donohue who amassed a record of 57 wins before retiring from driving last October which included the Indy 500, the 24 Hourá of Daytona, the NASCAR Western 500, three Trans Am Champ- ionships, tow USRRC Champ- ionships and one Can Am Championship, handles the car preparation and engineer- ing for the team. Rumors had persisted that Donohue would come out of retirement to drive the car but these have been denied by both Penske and Donohue. Jochen'Mass and Brian Red- man are now the lates suspected candidates for this position.

WEST 623-2542 BOWMANVILLE The impression is reinforced when one learns that every day begins with a scripture reading. However, Mr. Speers and his staff of 52 teachers have in no way adopted a "tradienal" approach to edu- cation. A glance through the very professional-looking Program of Studies would soon dispel an notions that the words "oldfashioned" might apply. The range of courses is incredible. This year, Minis- try of Education permission was granted for a new course called Ontario Geography En- vironment and History. Three departments will collaborate here to help students unearth the significant factors which shaped the development of our province. Special emphasis will be placed on the local region of Durham. George Bettson, Head of History, is branching out into the field of photography this year. Three classes, approxi- mately 90 students, have elected to take this brand new course which proposes to teach basic camera tech- niques, including picture com position and processing. Other practical courses in- clude: Know Your Auto, Ornamental Welding, and Carpentry. All of these cour- ses boast a significant female enrollment. In one case, Ornamental Welding, girls account for 25 percent of the total enrollment. Finishing touches are now being put on the annex to the building construction shop. Technical Director, Norman Stirling, plans to use it to teach building skills, such as plastering and masonry which are not ususally taught in high school, and even such special- ized things as how to cast a statue. The labor for the annex was supplied almost entirely by senior boys enrolled in Building Construction. For the cost of materials, around $10,000, the school now bas a structure valued at approxi- mately $33,000. Courtice S. S. is justly proud of its four year course in Environmental Science. It is one of about 10 schools in the province equipped to offer this course. The large greenhouse stands empty, awaiting the horticultural efforts of this year's students. On the second day of school, some soccer enthusiasts were already in the field. The boys have a great tradition to uphold with winning teams in '70, '71, and '72. The teachers' withdrawal of voluntary ser vices last year effectively ended the soccer season. Leo Haunsberger's Judo team will be looking for another All Ontario Cham- pionship this year. Leo has been invited to referee the Judo competitions at the Montreal Olympics in '76. He nas aireaoy otticiated at both the '68 and '72 Olympics. The team is very fortunate to have world calibre coaching. Kathy Coverly, Drama Di- rector, has plans for a stimulating season in Theatre Arts. In January, the inter- mediate Theatre Arts students will go on the road with children's productions which they have written, designed and produced. They will be performing for all the feeder schools in the area. Each group bas a working budget of $5.00 which often goes to providing candies for the audience. The aim is to teach a valuable lesson through drama and the students are graded on their achievements. The senior Theatre Arts students will perform scenes from plays at Open House. In May, Mrs. Coverly is planning a Theatre Arts evening where all of the students enrolled in Theatre Arts will perform. Plans are not yet finalized for the Spring musical but the directors have several titles in mind. Other plans for '74-'75 in- clude a new Glee Club and another June excursion to Algonquin Park for a week of Outdoor Education. The Student-Teacher-Pa- rent Advisory Committee will be starting up again. Four students sit with six parents and five teachers once each, month and discuss such topics of mutual concern as student dress and drug abuse. The, committee serves in an advi- sory capacity in the planning of school functions like Open House. To co-ordinate as compre- hensive a program as is offered by Courtice S. S., the teachers will have to be very busy and work very hard Opening day attendance ex- ceeded the projected enroll- ment of 930 by about 20. Because of this, the Pupil Tea- cher Ratio is higher that in other schools in the area at 17:9:1. A word of welcome for the new staff members is in order. Miss Julie Fisher of Barry's Bay is joining the staff to teach French and Latin. Mrs. Sharon McNaught of Toronto will take up duties as an English teacher while Mrs. Laurie Thomas of Burlington will teach Physical Education. Mr. Speers and his staff are wished very good luck in what promises to be a busy and challenging year. YELVERTON The Yelverton U.C.W. met on Thursday afternoon in the church. Main business of the meeting was a discussion re forthcoming fall supper. It was decided that again this year the Thanksgiving supper would be a beef supper. More details later.
