Hold reunion School days....revisited The past weekend was a weekend to remember for many former students teachers, board members and friends of Blackstock Continuation School. and Cartwright High School. Per: fect summer weather and large crowds of people com: bined to provide a mem: orable reunion which had been carefully planned by the Students Council and staff with much help from innumerable people in the Cartwright community. The celebrations got off to a good start on Saturday evening when a capacity crowd of almost 400 people - attended the dance held at the Recreation Centre. The McDonald Stage Band from Oshawa provided an excel- lent variety of music for people of all ages. A delic- ious luncheon was served at which time there was much J Deanna Gray with mom, the student (former) reminiscing about the "good old days." An even larger crowd at- tended the variety program which was held at the rec- reation Centre Sunday after- noon. The program was quite informal and attempted to stress some of the highlights of the past 53 years with representatives of each five year period entertaining in some way or providing some recollections -- both sublime and ridiculous -- of their era at school. Miss Mary Lou Malcolm, President of the Students Council, extended a welcome to all the guests. On behalf of the students, Mary Lou pre- sented a silver tray to Princi- pal Gordon Paisley who has been teaching at the school for 25 years. After expres- sing his appreciation and gratitude, Mr. Paisley acted as chairman for the program the various time periods were highlighted with world wide and local "news- flashes' and with theme music played by Mrs. Linda Kyte. Mr. Wallace Marlow, who was Chairman of the first continuation school board and who served on both school boards locally for a period of 35 years, was pre- sented with an honorary plaque by Mr. Dalton Dorrell. In addition to many years of dedicated service on the school board, Mr. Marlow has always promot- ed the cause of education in the Cartwright community directly and indirectly in a variety of ways. Following the program birthday cake, coffee and lemonade were served. The school was open over the weekend to give former students an opportunity to come back and browse over many displays which had been set up. The highlight of the displays was _ the Women's Institute Twéeds- muir History of the school which has been faithfully and expertly kept by Mrs. Lorenza McArthur. Another interesting display, prepar- ed by students Suzanne Catty and Nancie Wygerde, pin- pointed the present location of former Cartwright students on maps of Canada, the United States and the World. Many people enjoyed viewing photographs dating fiom the 1920's to the present or browsing through old school magazines, textbooks commencement programs, and even copies of 3act and 1 act plays which have been presented down through the years. All in all the weekend provided a wonderful oppor- tunity to renew acquaint- ances and take many people on a 'nostalgia trip" into those never-to-be-forgotten days at school in Blackstock. Response good to You might say Theatre Workshop '75 received an enthusiastic response among the area's young people last week when the six project workers visited area schools to recruit participants in the theatre-music Opportunities tor Youth project. "The response', describes Sharon Lackie, one of the project workers, '"'was simp- ly overwhelming." The pro- ject was originally geared to handle around 70 to 75 parti- cipants -- young people be- tween the ages of 8-14 -- but organizers are alread study- ing the possibility of taking on a few more volunteers to handle the huge number of students who've signalled an interest. There is no way the project Second Section Vol. 109 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, June 25, 1975. -- No. 33 ~ Men's choir (1945-1949) a i nd 1960s cheerleaders ocal OFY project can handle the over 1,200 who took an application when the group toured the schools, however. Miss Lackie thinks there will be no need, since most of these would probably not be car- ried through. 'Many of these kids just took one because their friends did," she said. But there is a very real possibility of a substantially greater number of people taking part than originally estimated. it is with this in mind that more volunteers is being considered. "It isn't fair to simply drop off a lot of kids," said Miss Lackie. "We'll try to run the program with as many as we possibly can.". Organizers also point out that with an increased num- ber of participants, the pro- ject will be ensured of a good number of young people who will stay with the program for the summer...after an expected early drop-out rate as the Workshop gets under- way. Such things as holidays and perhaps an early loss of interest among a percentage will bring the number of participants down somewhat leaving a nucleus of interest- ed, eager young people. The program, scheduled to start in July and go through to the end of August, will consist of an afternoon theatre workshop and a morning music workshop, five days a week. To be held at the Port Perry High School, the work- shops are designed to teach music--on instruments rang- ing from guitar to banjo--and theatre crafts from make-up to readying a play. OMB zoning change ruling An Ontario Municipal Board ruling will result in changes in the Port Perry official plan, designating land at the north end of Water Street medium dens- ity residential.
