Leishman, COBALT PUBLIC SCHOOL HEAD RESIGNS Mrs. 37153 THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol 513 No.39 Northern Ontario's Oldest Weekly Newspaper THURSDAY, DEC. Ist, 1955 GOUGH CALLS FOR UNIVERSITY HERE School Principal Claims Pressure ©. Of C. Votes From Board Forced Resignation Cobalters got a shock yester- day, when Cecil Wilton, principal of the Public School for eight years, handed in his resignation at noon. In a blunt statement, Mr. Wil- ton blamed the school board for "insistent pressure to resign" and said that he blamed the chair- man of the school board, Arnold Todd, for exercising a personal prudge. Mr. Wilton said that Mr. Todd told him he should resign last September, and at an October board meeting, asked if Mr. Wil- ton intended to-carry out his sug- gestion. "T told him then that the public school inspector has told me not to resign." Mr. Wilton said. "But there's no use hanging on when I know that every move that I and the teachers make is watched and criticised." Mr. Wilton said that the only criticism he has. received from the board, is that of poor public relations. "I have done every thing I can do for the town," he said. The public school principal said that the Cobat school is not an easy one to teach, but that he has enjoyed his stay in the town, and bitteryl regret having to leave. He has taken a position as as- istant principal at Lively, Ont., and expect to leave Cobalt after Christmas. Mr. Todd described Mr. Wil- ton's allegations as "a lot of mal- arkey. "He said that the board had been asking for improvem- ents in discipline for the past four years. He said that the board had not asked Mr. Wilton for his resignation. The rumors of a change in the Cobalt public school have been current for several months. Con- cern is being expressed that the school principal may have been asked to resign, without a formal vote of the board as a whole. Ken Buffam, mayor of Cobalt, said yesterday that he is seriously concerned over the situation. "Tf 1am asked by the public school supporters, I may request the deparement to investigate," he added. Legal High Jinks At High School Graduation Haileybury's legal profession got a shock Friday night when the Haileybury High School pre- sented its one-act play "The Shadow of a Dream." The play was all part of the high school's graduation exer- cises, and well up to the high dramatic standards set in past years by the students. The plot involved a Crown Att-_ orney who apparently loved his court more than his missus, and as a result got himself mixed up maritally and legally. Directed by Pat Cassldy, Gor- don Campbell, played the part of the Crown, Jane Ledwell was a charming wife, Bob Brumell wa the chauffeur with the brother in jail, and Pat Arnold and Cathy Neelands did well at supporting roles.
