10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 27,1984 Section Two Bowmanville High School Happenings By Janice Seto, Editor What are you doing this summer? The majority of us at Bowmanville High School will probably answer that we are either working or relaxing. relaxing. A few will be attending summer school. Two studious Seniors, Joanne Carruthers and Kim Simpson, will be changing locations from Bowmanville for the province of Quebec for six weeks of schooling. Joanne, who will be in grade 13 in September, will be in the city of Three Rivers. She is looking forward to going to Montreal and Quebec, time permitting, to see the celebrations celebrations for the 450th anniversary of Cartier's arrival. Having been awarded a government- sponsored bursary, Kim will complete a French course at the university level in a town in the Gaspe peninsula. Kim hopes to have the opportunity to go to the province of New Brunswick to see the bicentennial bicentennial anniversary festivals. Kim has been accepted at Wilfrid Laurier University where she will study finance and accounting. Here are the destinations of some of the graduating grade 13 students.

Merrilee has submitted the following article as an introduction to the community. community. NEW CHANGES HERALD THE NEW YEAR By Merrilee Brown The school year has come and gone. It is time to look to the future. This year's graduates are looking forward to enrolling in university, a community college or entering entering the work force. Those who are remaining at B.H.S. next year are looking forward to a year of change. In the past, the student body nominated and elected Grade 11,12 or 13 representatives to the offices of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. These people made up the Student Council Executive Executive to work in conjunction with the class representative of every grade in the General (Students') Council. The offices of Student Council Treasurer and Secretary could only be filled by those who had taken previous Economics and Business courses (respectively). This barred some interested students students from running for those positions. There were other factors which prevented students from running for Executive Council, including the minimum academic standing standing of at least 66 percent and the huge amount of time required required serving on Council, time which eroded high marks. Because the duties of the Executive are numerous and there is a need in these times for high standing for post-secondary schooling, many interested students shied away from being candidates. This coming year, however, instead of the Executive power being distributed among four people, with the greatest importance being placed on the President, the Executive will be initially divided among twelve grade 12 and 13 students who will serve on three committees. This arrangement allows people to serve on Council without putting a great deal of strain on their studies. It also BRICK DIRTY?

The Executive Council will still work with the General Council members and staff advisors. An addition to the staff advisors is Ms. Murray, who will join Mr. Morris and Mr. Chambers. Another major change in the school is the new schedule. The present system of three forty minute lunch periods preceded and followed by two one hour classes, will be replaced replaced by a longer one period lunch and longer classtimes. The administration, however, is still finalizing the new time table. Every student returning to B.H.S. in the fall does indeed indeed have a great deal to which he or she can look forward. These changes promise promise a new and exciting school year for us all. QUE SERA, SERA: THE LAST WORD By Janice Seto, Editor, Merrilee's article describes the proposed changes to a school which I'll be leaving. Perhaps I'll miss writing the B.H.S. News the most. Although Although I have written for this column since only May 1983,1 can't remember much about a B.H.S. without having a weekly deadline. Like all departing writers and personalities, personalities, I will give some advise to those I leave to the mercies of the B.H.S. staff. To the incoming people, I say welcome welcome and wish you a pleasant stay. Become involved with the extra-curricular activities. activities. There are the clubs for the active and thinking. I've seen the work of some grade eight people while attending a book presentation afternoon in Port Hope. The evidence of talent is found in the Board's book Sunshine in My Eyes, a collection of poetry from the students in our school board. Do yourself a favour and get involved. I'll be an incoming student to the University of Toronto and I intend to get involved there as I shiver about a new place. After declining McGill and the free tuition offers of Guelph and York, I collected the huge piles of information from the registrar. There's another piece of advice: read. Yes, read the B.H.S. course calendar and anything that interests you in the library. Read the papers and magazines magazines to be informed about life. Now comes the end of my last writing for B.H.S. Thank you, Sam, and Mrs. Twist for your support. Even though you don't read B.H.S. News, Mrs. Twist, you've been a great help. Thank you, Mr. James and The Statesman staff for accepting my articles for print. To my family, thanks for their support and proofreading. And especially to the readership, which stayed stayed with me through reviews of B.H.S. productions (to Merrilee Merrilee and Sam, review at your own caution!), trips to Quebec, St. Thomas, and Windsor, the Yearbook, and The King and I, a very sincere thank you for saying "I read B.H.S. News" to me. One memorable moment was the time a person whom I shall call RA crossed the street to say a few words of encouragement. encouragement. You are all very generous generous and kind for keeping an eye on a budding writer. May God bless you all! Have a safe summer and be a success in .the future. Remember to vote, conserve water, and be careful. Hope to meet you soon at the Strawberry Strawberry Socials! Councillors Selected to Attend AMO Conference Newcastle's general purpose purpose and administration committee has recommended recommended that Councillors Hobbs, Hubbard, and Taylor serve as voting delegates delegates to the annual conference conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. Terry Edwards, the town's planning director, will also be a voting delegate delegate if the committee recommendation recommendation is approved by council. The annual AMO conference conference will be held August 19 to 22. DRIVE SAFELY The summer months can be dangerous dangerous months for vacation time kids away from school. Busy playing, often on the streets, they act compulsively, foolishly. Bë à good citizëh -- be a good driver. Be alert for out-of-school kids having a ball. Play ball with the safety rules -- drive carefully and let everyone have a great summer! Sponsored by your local Bowmanville Merchants PRESTON TRANSPORT LIMITED 420 Base Line Rd. W.
