Mrs. Copp reminded canvassers that seeking donations will not be easy, and that they should remember remember they are not out to collect money for the United Way -- they are out to provide services for the community. MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY§ The guest speaker was quick to point out the importance of the collection collection of agencies under the United Way umbrella. "Without the United Way, there would be more than 30 different campaigns fighting fighting for donations. Not only would they be unsuccessful!, but they would divide a community," explained Mrs. Copp. Thirty-eight different agencies benefit from the Oshawa - Whitby - Newcastle United Way campaign. Of these, more than 20 service the Town of Newcastle. Agenices range from the Association for the Mentally Mentally Retarded, to the Block Parents Association, to the Canadian Red Cross. In closing, Mrs. Copp made mention mention of those people who have not made a contribution to the United Way because, as they say, they will never need the agencies services. The guest speaker responded to this claim by saying, "never is a very, very long time." s A Home of the Fuel Economy Car MIDWAY MOTORS 1300 Dundas St. E„ Whitby 668-6828 MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY 0 1 The Canadian Statesman Advertising Deadlines Display- Tues. 4:00 p.m. Classified - Mon. 4:30 p.m. Wilson Furniture50th Anniversary is celebrating with a fabulous MATTRESS SALE ÏIÎkfA -- bôbl-GARb -- ATNÜ kOII~ Quality Bedding at Sale Prices SUPER PEDIC SETS by Bodi-Gard 312 coil construction, layers of insulating pads, attractive, durable knitted cover, multi-quilted to foam for comfort.

Downtown Ottawa 723-3211 1 L0t ËLL Wesley ville Church service at Welcome United was opened on Sunday morning by Elder Tom Wilson until Rev. Gordon Rutherford was able to be there. This was a special service when Mary Kellogg who is chairman of Cobourg Presbytery and was a commissioner at Dominion Council, gave a report on that council's doings. Unlike her presentation at the U.C.W. meeting, she dealt with actual deliberations and brought her work book of impressive size to show the amount of work that was accomplished. There was more publicity given to the report on homosexuals than on so many other important important matters. But after much study it was left for Conferences Conferences to make their decisions. She explained to the children in their story time the important important role they had. Discussions took place around a table and at Mary's for part of the time were three children, one each from Peterborough, Morden and Saskatchewan. Meetings were held in an Arena, and Community Centre, and smaller smaller sessions held in a school. Marriage and family life was re-affirmed as the ideal pattern pattern for humans. It was an excellent report but could touch on a portion of the happenings happenings only and not even mention many. It was the first time a Council had been held in a small town and planning and organization was excellent. excellent. Next Sunday, Rev. Rutherford will speak on the prophet Haggai. The offering was received by Allin Osborne, Osborne, Cliff Bryce, Glen Thompson and Bruce Hendry. A basket of fall flowers composed composed of highbush cranberries and chrysanthemums were a foretaste of the colour to come. The choir is busy practising practising for their concert and Russell Baker was a new member for this Sunday. Russell and Reta Baker greeted greeted the congregation at the door. Congratulations to Charlene Austin who won two firsts, three seconds, two thirds, and a fourth in the horse jumping classes at the Port Hope Fair on Saturday. TOMORROW'S FORESTS... %l TODAY'S CHALLENGE 1 %]. The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 19,1984 13 News from Hay don By Merrilee Brown Editorial: Timetables are Turned Think of it. Just four classes a day, five minute breaks between classes and one hour lunches. Students returning to Bowmanville High School this fall figured they really had it made. It certainly sounded good. The changes in the timetable timetable of the high school this year even meant that the school day was 15 minutes shorter than last year. Then students came into reality. They hit their first day of classes. Students began to realize that one hour and fifteen fifteen minutes of conjugating irregular French verbs was not what they had anticipated. With 1059 students enrolled at B.H.S. and a cafeteria for less than half that number, noon hours became a frantic dash from last class to the cafeteria door to avoid the long line-ups or a half-hour wait to get a seat. And homework! With the number of classes decreased and dedicated teachers determined determined to cover the same amount of work, more responsibility responsibility is placed on the student to work at home. The classes themselves are more important - if you miss one, you miss a great deal. This may discourage "skipping" classes but if you miss a class or two for legitimate reasons, there is a heavy burden of homework to "catch up on." The lengthened lunch hour does, encourage people to go home for lunch and it does allow students to play intramural intramural sports. The four day cycle is a boon to the Co-op Department (students can attend work at the same time every morning). In the afternoon afternoon on Days three and four, the order of subjects is changed changed for the sake of variety. Also, if you play on a school team, you don't miss the same class every time you have a game. You get to miss a variety of classes." There is one unarguable advantage to the new timetable timetable - students only have to do their English homework every other day. New to B.H.S. B.H.S. would like to welcome welcome three French Exchange students from Quebec who arrived in Bowmanville on September^ 8th, for a three month stay, All three girls are. in grade 11 (they call it "year two" in Quebec) and take Physics, Chemistry, Computer Computer Science, History, Phys. Ed., Math, English and Grade 13 French. In Quebec, they start studying English in grade four for 45 minutes a day. This accounts for their excellent English (it certainly is better than most B.H.S. students' French!). Sylvie Jodin is a 15 year old girl from Trois Rivieres who is billeted with Kathy Netten. She's noticed some differences differences between people here and in Quebec. First, we speak too fast, but she can still understand. Sylvie also notes that we are more shy and conservative than most Québécois Québécois but we are still very friendly. School is stricter here than at home - students can smoke in school if they please. Her favourite subject here is French (because it is so easy) but she also enjoys English and Physics (Editor's note: no wonder, when your, billet's father is your Physics teacher). Sylvie doesn't want anyone to be afraid to come and talk to her and the other exchange students, because as she herself says, "We're not... how do you say...snobs." Martine Dupuis is staying with Andrea Murdoch. 15 year old Martine lives in a small town of 1500 called St. Bruno- de-Gigues which is near Notre Dame du nord and 75 miles away from Rouyn. She has a 25 year old brother and two sisters in their twenties in her family. Her high school has only 500 people and "everyone knows everyone. People aren't hard to understand," so Martine says. "Everyone is friendly or nice." Even though she comes from a very small town, she doesn't find Bowmanville Bowmanville that different. Movies are the same in Quebec, notes Martine, except that they are dubbed in French. She is certainly glad that she came. Chantal Laliberle wasted no time in getting involved at B.H.S. This 15 year old from Iberville, which is about 25 miles from Montreal, attends Marcel Landry Polyvalente in Quebec. Already, she plays the alto saxophone in the Senior Band and has joined an intramural volleyball team. She says that she plays on her school Badminton team back home in Iberville. She really likes Bowmanville but thinks Iberville is better. Iberville, even though it is a rural area, has more activities and is more sports-oriented. Chantal notes that we dress differently here. Girls in Iberville don't wear jeans to school very much. They wear dress pants and jumpsuits. Chantal is spending her three month stay with Kerri Lingard. Flashback 1930 - School spirit was tremendous back when the "new" school opened on February 13, 1930 as evident by the official school cheer: Get a vee vi Get a vee vo Get a vee vi vo vivum Vum! get a rat trap Bigger than a cat trap Vum! Vum! Vum! Cannibal! Cannibal! Sis boom bah! Bowmanville High School Rah! Rah I Rah! 1952 - An excerpt from the 1952 "Screech Owl" - "A quarrel between Miss Cunningham (Mrs. Sheridan) and a student in English class: Miss Cunningham - Wanna fight about it? Student - Yah! Miss Cunningham - Well, you'd better watch out because because I'm a lot bigger than you!" 1959 - You'd be surprised at how many teachers were around 25 years ago. Get out the 1958-59 "Screech Owl" and you'll see Mr. Auger, Mr. Ball, Mr. Munday, Mr. LeGresley, Mrs. Krakenberg, Mr. Sheridan Sheridan and Mr. L. Johnston. You might not recognize some of the male teachers because they all have crew cuts - except Mr. Munday. 1973 - In November, the students at B.H.S. were fed up and they walked out. Contract negotiations between the teachers and the Board of Education were in progress and the teachers refused to help out with extra-curricular sports teams, clubs or organizations. organizations. The B.H.S. Senior Football Team had not lost a single game in season play and were about to enter the play-offs when contract negotiations negotiations began. To voice their outrage, a student walkout was organized..Representatives organized..Representatives from CTV and CBC were covering the event and the march to mèet the students from Courtice. Did You Know ...that the 1959 "Screech Owl" had an "Advice to the Lovelorn" Column? Dear Abby, more over. ...that Mr. C. Lynch of the Physical Education Department Department went to school with Prime Minister John Turner? ...that in 1971 our B.H.S. Senior Football Team (the Redmen) won the C.O.S.S.A. championship? The Music Beat The date for the First General Parents' Association Meeting is Thursday, September September the 27th, 1984. A reminder that the film A Sense of Music will be screened.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION By A1 Woodlock All the people in Co-operative Co-operative Education have been quite busy preparing for employment employment which begins on Monday, October 1st. Students are busy in class and job placements are being finalized finalized as September seems to be drawing to a close. Each cooperative cooperative education student, his or her parent and employer employer as well as the teacher will sign a "work contract" which specifies the nature of the job. This contract also outlines the insurance coverage by the Northumberland and Newcastle Newcastle Board of Education and Workmen's Compensation. This year we will have approximately approximately 130 - 150 students in Co-operative Education. Business Family Studies and Technical Education will each have around 30 students while about 50 more will come from the remaining subject areas in the school. We are looking forward to many new employers employers and job placements this year. Hairdressing, nursing, nursing, computer science and pharmacy are some of the new careers that will be explored by B.H.S. students this school year. Hopefully, our students will all benefit from their cooperative cooperative experiences. In the past students have received valuable work experience for further education or employment. employment. Work experience in a field of interest, is extremely hard for young people to acquire, but it allows them to make wise career decisions. Also, students experience the real demands and responsibilities responsibilities of employment. Self- confidence, employer references references and recommendations, as well as full or part-time employment are some other student benefits of this work- experience program. We are looking forward to highlighting some of our students and employers once jobs become finalized and work begins in October. Once again we'd like to thank our employers in the community who have co-operated in helping helping us with job placements. Also, our thanks are extended to The Canadian Statesman, and in particular Cathy Denny, for their support and assistance with our weekly article.
