The stream was jammed with fishermen from early Satur day morning into late Sunday night. There were many good size lungers taken from the stream as evident above with John VanVeen and. Mark Fontyne holding up two good size rainbows and a large salmon, all caught within a few hours early Sunday morning. . In general the fishing was good on opening day with many fish still in the stream after spawning. by Sheri Yeo A meeting of the Western Area Advisory Committee on Co-operative Education was held at Clarke High School on Wednesday, April 23rd. It was a regular meeting with a special highlight: to hear from students in the program just what they feel about co-operative education. In attendance were the regular members of the Committee: Teachers involved involved with Co-op Ed. from Bowmanville, Courtice and Clarke High Schools; Garth Gilpin, representative from and liaison officer to the Hoard of Education; and . representatives of industries in the area including General Motors, OshaWa General Hospital, Hospital, Manpower Centre and the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was chaired by Bowmanville bank manager John Pogue. There to give their views were eight co-op ed. students involved in Literary Arts, Early Childhood Childhood Education, Journalism, and Sociology . The meeting was begun with a slide (produced by co-op ed. students) depicting the many students at their jobs. After the slides, the business business representatives were called upon to ask questions of the students and teachers present. The nature of the To secure cost of cemetery cairn Mr. John Stone, chairman, of the Clarke Township Cemetery Cemetery Boarti, who cares for abandoned cemeteries in the • former Township, stated last week that he has been authorized to obtain an estimate estimate of costs to establish a cairn for those stones remaining remaining in the old Orono Cemetery. Cemetery. the cemetery is located, just north of the Orono Publiç MW questions were what have you gained, either positively or negatively, from the experience experience and what can we do to improve the program? The eight students all agreed that what they had gained from the experience was a sense of accomplishment, accomplishment, a clearer idea of what they will choose for their profession ("I found I did like it" or "I found what I don't want to do"), they know what it is to work for someone, and what responsibilities, are ins volved in holding a job. Most- important, the students have gained a greater insight into themselves and the world. School life is sheltered by the brick walls and windows from the realities of the world. Joy, who works àt the Nursing Home, best exemplifies exemplifies the gained insight theory. When Joy first went to the Home, she said she wanted to turn around and run out. The sight of the old, wrinkled, helpless bodies brought such a feeling of pity to Joy that she couldn't bear to be there. Now she has overcome her terrible sympathy sympathy and finds happiness and satisfaction in helping the -aged but loveable human beings. An important question put to the- students was, has working as a co-op student affectéd your marks at all? There Were two answers I this. One, I realized from the program just how important my education is if I wish to make this my career. Two, I became so involved in my program that my interest in school dwindled a little, but my marks are pretty much ■ the same as before. The Co-operative Education Education Program is a success story. Of the 597 students at Clarke High School, 75 are involved in the Co-op program. program. The only setback is transportation, since Clarke is a 100 percent bused school. The communities of Orono and Newcastle have been behind the program all the way, and it is their support and assistance that keeps it alive and growing. The ideal would be to have every student on the program. program. This is being done at various schools throughout the Province, but is only presently a dream at Clarke High School. It is, though, something to strive for, because the experience and learning gained from being on the program cannot be duplicated in a classroom.

Stone said the board is concerned over the destruction destruction of the stones and states that if nothing is done shortly there will be no head-stones left. The old Orono Cemetery has over the past few days been cleaned up with remaining remaining head-stones assembled in a small area of the cemetery. These stones continue to deteriorate both from the weather and from children playing in the area. Stone points out that the .board, is considering moving the stones to a cairn in the Lawrence cemetery, east of the Village. He said it would be the intention of the board to place the Orono headstones headstones in one cairn at this location and the stones of the Lawrence cemetery in a second cairn. He said it may be necessary to store the, Orono stones until such time as funds are available to construct the cairn.
