For her a- chievements in the field of education and in the com- munity, Mrs. Rogers well de- serves this medal. At the present time, Mrs. Rogers is Head of the Occu- pations Department at the Pickering High School, but she is retiring this June after forty years of teaching. With the exception of one--year, her teaching career has been continuous. She began this career in a country school near Lanark where she taught for two years, and then she went to the Con- tinuation School in Navan, Ontario where she was a teacher for two years and Principal for two. She was Principal at the Continuation School in Wooler for five years and in Brooklin for fifteen. She completed her degree and came to the Pick- ering High School twelve years ago. Integrity has always been an outstanding attribute of Pearl Rogers. The standards she has set have had a last- ing influence on her stud- ents, many of whom have benefited even more directly from her understanding and warm-hearted counselling. An indication of her sprite- ly personality is the fact that she was District Public Rela. tions Officer of District 20 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation for five years and is Public 'Relations Officer for the T.B. Association of Ontario County. , We congratulate Mrs. Ro- gers on her achievements, and we know that even though she is retiring from teaching, she will be leading a cheerful and active life in her home and community. -- Approximately 150 profes- sional foresters will graduate this year from the four uni- versities in Canada which give forestry training.
