Tekawennake New Credit - Six Nations Reporter May 18-24 Twenty-Fifth Issue Six Nations News Two Six Nations Students Chosen to Attend the Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp Every year the Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp, at Longford Mills on Lake Couchiching, is operated during the months of July and August by the Ontario Department of Education. The courses are administered by specialists in Physical Education and are designed to develop and improve: 1. The students' leadership skills. 2. The students' athletic skills. 3. The students' organizing ability. 4. Teacher potential. 5. A continuing sense of responsibility, co-operation and self-confidence. Each high school, which enrolls students in grades 11, 12 and 13, may select one boy and one girl to attend the camp. Careful consideration of the Secondary School Principal is necessary to ensure that the proper and worthy candidates are selected. The selections are on a scholarship basis. We take pride and pleasure in announcing that two Six Nations students of the Hagersville Secondary School have been selected to attend this selective camp. Teresa and David General. It is a curious coincidence that both students are in Grade 11 and they are twins. They are the children of Mr. & Mrs. Ross (Roma) LaForme. Teresa and David bring honour to their school, their parents and their Reserve. Hearty congratulations from "Tekawennake". Teresa will attend the camp the first two weeks in July, and David the last two weeks in August. We are mighty proud of Teresa and David!
