by Norm Mealinq Sonie 75 niemibers of the West Lynde Coniunity Association atteiided the general meeting at Henry Street 1-ligh School last Thursday nighit and elected the 1976/77 Association Excecutive. While 75 mienbers is confortably in excess of the numiber required for a quorum, the turnout hiad tobe considered disappointing in lighit of' the previous years' attendance, 110 in '74, and 225 in '75, and the fact that, witlî approximiately 600 miember househiolds, the potential turnout wvas in the neighibourhood of I ,200p)eople, At aîîy rate, the elections wvere hield, and, in the race for President, Bob Hopson emnerged victorîous over Marg Boyce and John Giles. Jimi Mills was voted the \Vice - President's spot over incombent Tony Bate, Mrs. Boyce was elected to lier third termi as Secretary, defeating Peggy Thomn; and the Treasurer's post was won by Sharon Owens who defeated 1974/75 Vice-President Kevin French. Mr. French camne back in the Directors election, however, and was elected to a two-year terni along with AI Finnegan. Together, they defeated Tony Bate and Pete Copland. The 1976/77 Executive, therefore, will consist of Bob Hopson- President; Jini Milîs - Vice-President; Marg Boyce - Secretary; Sharon Owens - Treasurer; and AI Finnegan, Kevin French, Karen Kerr and John Giles Direc tors. A few kudos are in order. To the 1975/76 Executive, thanks for y.our timie and effort. To those who stepped down, Bill Hoffmnan, wvho lias been heavily involved sirîce 1973. Tony Bate, who filled in admnirably as V-P wvheni Dari Pelletier mnoved, Ed Dawson, who led the spirited fight against the highrise, and Dianne Noble, who did a b'y Ol'ra» Winteir, THE HARE HOUSE Tlîis small yellow brick building, tlîe residence oif tlîe principal cf the Ortario Ladies' College, was the home (if many noted educators during the past century, the nost pronîinent of which was Rev. Dr. John I'-iies Ilare, principal cf the college for 41 years. J The building is originaîly believed to have been the rcarniage house for Trafalgar Castle, the home of Shieriff Nelson G. !".eynolds svhich becamethe college in I1874. It stood separate from the main building util it was joined te it by Frances Hali4 in 1895. From 1874 te 1879 it was the residence cf college's governor, Rev. Joseph E. Sanderson. From Mr. Sanderson's resignation in 1879 until 1915, it was the residence cf Rev. Dr. Hare, the college's first principal. r Dr. Hare, who was born on Oct. 3, 1847 in the Township cf Nepean near Ottawa, was regarded in his youth as a child prodigy. At the age cf 1 2 he took a second cîass teacher's certificate, matriculated into Victoria University at I15 and began a career as a teacher at the age cf 17. At 19 he entered the Methodist ministrY and was given charges at Chatham, Smith's Falls and London. He graduated from Victoria University in 1873, winning four first prizes. In I1874, when he was assistant pastor at the largest church in London, Ont., he was appointed as the first principal cf the Ontario La dies' College in Whitby. Here he showed a fine educatiotial and administrative ability, and assumed the position cf gevernor as well as principal when Mr. Sanderson resigned in 1879. In I1887 Dr. Hare received his Ph.D degree from the Illinois Wesîeyan University in the United States. During his career as principal and governer cf the OntarioeULadies' College, Dr. Hare had high ideals for the institution, with his major aim being to make it inte a femnale university affiliated with the University of Toronto, In 1877 and 1895 two major additions were made te the nmainbildngpoil îsrOMS, dormatories and-a firstclass job as Recreation Director, we add a special thanks. And to the Nomninating Corriitice, Erie Laycock, Pat Baxter, Sharoni Owens, and AI Finnegari, congratulations on running the elections. During the clection speeches, a numiber of iniportant issues were identified for future discussion. Day care services and the Association's involvemient in sanie, a commiunity centre and a credit union were but a few of those mcentioned. On a motion by Eric Laycock, the new Execut kme was instrrîcted to investigate these issues, and report back to the Executive at the next meeting. Much wilI be said over the next few mionthis about these issues, 5ome cf il in this columln. 1 only mention il here so as to informi those who were not at the meeting that there are'a number of important itemis on the table. At the risk of being accused of put ting my two cents in Wthout heing asked, I îhink the new Executive hias a funidamiental question of Association purpose to deal1 with over tlie next few weeks. The Association lias gone ini many directions over its first two years, net al of whiclr have enjoyed the whole- hearted support of thelienebers. Social and recreational fonctions have been well-attended, leading this observer to the conclusion that as a social and recreational body, the Association ik operating with the support of the miembers. Political activities, on the o'ther hand, have neyer enjoyed such enthusiastic endorsemnent, and, in fact, the one candidate who spoke openly of a poliical purpose for the W.L.C.A. was flot elected. One mnight infer fromi that that- the Association, as a political body, does not have the support of thie rmembers. Now that the Association is nearly tliree years old, and lias past experienice te draw on, 1 wotild suggest that an evaluatien of' purp)ose is i order. 1 would furtlier suggest that sucli an evaliration involve thé, îucmbersliîp as far as possible and conie before any othier censideration of such thinigs as Day Care.
