SThis is Mr. Milovick's .tenth year of teaching. He taught in Kingston for four years before coming to BHS.

Other teachers in the History Department are Miss Maclean, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Morris. Miss Hughes and Miss Shrock are part-time history teachers. Mr. Milovick, says the philosophy of the History Department is to make courses in- teresting to the student, to bring in as much current events as pos- sible, and to focus on skills. such as writing and research which are helpful in everyday life. By showingstudents what happened in the past and today, they can get a clearer viw of this world Mr. Milovick says the most noteworthy thing, in the History classes is the change in student' s attitudes in that they are more questioning and generally interested. in world problems. This year, several History trips are on the History curriculum. In January, the grades nine and ten classes went to the Royal Ontario Museum. On H.pril1 19, four BHS Hîtory students are going to j3righton to compete in a "Canada Quiz". Oný May 11, students wilL be involv- ed in a seminar at Port Hope High School on the question of Quebec in Canada., Some future plans for the Histery Department are rewriting the grades nine and ten programs. The department is wait- ing to see what the Ministry is -going to suggest for senior levels. It is the third time infive years that the Ministry has chang- ed the guidelines as well as courses in lower levels. Mr. Milovick says that History Education is important because through History, the student learns what is going on and History provides a background of Canada.7 It puts the student in perspective with his worls .and allows him to find out why things are the way they are. The Ministry of Education has recog- nized the need for more Canadian History for Canadian Students. in conclusion,. Mr. Milovick says that the staff of BHS and the students are great.

A public concert was held at nighit in the Junior High School auditorium., A large audience enjoyed listening- to each band perform alone and then a few combined' numbers.

The minutes of 1977 annual meeting was read an approved. The treasurer reported,$410.91 on hand. He was instructed to pay remaîn- ing outstanding bills. A letter was received from Hon. Wm. Newman explaining that when per cent of corn farmers requested necessary legisiation the Ontario government could set up a corn marketing board. This was discussed. The feeling of the meeting was that a commission, appointed, should have sufficient powers to effectively regulate the assembly, buying, selling, transporting, storing and processing of corn. Also they would desire the Canadian government to allow the Canadian Wheat Board to, include corn, so that imports could be controlled.' Pauline Gould gave a fine report on the youth seminar she attended last month. The QUOTE 0F THE WEEK "Wbether you find satis- faction in life depends notonyor tleof Celebrates Hier.
