(1 spring concert by Sylvia Brown The Scugog Choir musical Spring Concert was held on Friday, April 25th at Grace United Church on Scugog Island. Helen Redman presided as Master of Cere- monies. The program began, as couples sauntered arm in arm across the stage, sing- ing "Swinging Down The Lane' followed by Up a Lazy River and Enjoy Yourself. The women were dressed in long flowery summer gowns, and fresh spring bonnets, the gentlemen in suits and ties. The Junior Choir then sang (and whistled), "Give a Little Whistle,"" 'Whistle While You Work" and 'The Preacher and the Bear"'. the latter was a very funny spoof about a preacher being chased up a tree by a bear, and was acted out in panto- mime as they sang. Next came a comical duet by Betty Reader and Irene Carter, dressed as a perky English couple, and singing and ringing out with "I've Got a Loverly Bunch of Coconuts." The audience joined along with the singing the second time around. This was followed by the Dixie Land band playing some rousing good old favourites. This group con- sisted of Ethel and George Freeman, Edna Beckett, Alex Ingram, and Bob Cawker. Then came a short intermission of popcorn and lemonade. When the curtains re- opened, the stage was set up as a carnival complete with coloured balloons and con- cession stands. The theme was from State Fair. Beryl Pearce was a very funny clown, and Dorothy Mander- son acted as the Carnival barker. The singers appear- ed at the Fair dressed in swinging gingham skirts and colourful blouses, and the men in straw hats and fancy, vests. All proceeded to sing "Our State Fair", and "It's a Grand Night for Singing". Then Lodi Raffin sang a solo entitled If This Isn't Heaven. Audrey Beauchamp return- ed this ballad with That's For Me. When the men stepped forward jauntily and sang 'It's the Little Things in Texas'. The women sang Never Say No To A Man. After this came a toe- tapping square dance, with Maurice Fralick as the caller. The swinging dancers were Bev Raines, Lodi Raffin, Reta Brown, Bob Cawker, Marilyn Heayn, Harold Luke, Yvonne Appleton, and Alex Ingram. Following this, Mike Free- man popped on stage as a down-and-out photographer and did a funny skit. Next, Norm Watson sang a tune called Willing and Eager, which was followed by the choir singing It Might as Well Be Spring, and Our State Fair, as all exited from the stage. Bob Cawker and Alex Ingram, on clarinet and flute, played some music. Then the singers all returned dressed in choir gowns. Allan Redman sang two solos - I Believe and He. The choir closed the program with Deep River, Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor and When You Come To The End of the Day. Rev. Chas Clarke gave a few choice words on behalf of the group's efforts. Once again we commend Senior Choir leader Ethel Freeman, with Doreen Adain and Helen Redman with Junior Choir, pianist Edna Beckett, Geo. Free- man on guitar, and special prelude by Eva Hunter, Alex Ingram and Robt. Cawker, and Geo. Freeman. A hearty lunch was served afterward. By Joyce Kelly Who says trouble doesn't come in pairs?

The ceremony starts at 1 p.m. in theOshawa Civic Audito- rium. Under Dr. Willey's leader- ship, the College has deve- loped an enviable reputation for excellence. Durham's enrollment has increased from 207 full-time post secondary students in 1967 to 1640 in 1980. There are more than 8,000 students in the continuing education programs. In addition the College serves 400 adult training students during the year. The 1980 convocation will be the biggest ever, as there are more than 600 prospec- tive graduating students.

Marie, Vice President of Sales for the Electro-Metal- lurgical Company in Welland and General Sales Manager of Metals and Carbon Pro- ducts at Union Carbide Canada Limited. When he came to Durham College in March 1967 there were no buildings. The first College office was a little house on the corner of Alma and Simcoe Streets. Classes began that Fall in portables. A single storey pre-engi- neered structure was in use in 1968. In 1971 the Main College Building was erec- ted.

His management approach has been pragmatic, using. money wisely and effective- ly.
