FBetween You and Me By RUTH CHAMBEE OLC'S new prin cipal Abouùt Craig KMelle For me, it was, just Ilike belng "home" again as a day girl at Blshop Strachan'School but I was standing. ln a re ception room, at TrafalgrCse School being welcomed by Craig Kainche,-the principal. M'. Kamlche, a former Master at St. Andrew's College i Aurora, was head of the hlatory departinent, the dramna departinent, the chief instructor of the cadet corps and a housemaster durig bis 15 years there. Ontario Ladies' College, now known as Trafalgar Castie School was built and lived lii by Sherlff Nelson G. Reynolds, a Whitby resident wbo sold it te the school 105 years ago. A beautiful, old building ful of charrn and grace. Lovely grounds, a fewacres of well kept lawns, flower beds and beautiful trees two of which are copper beeches, magnificlent and especiaily 50 at thia time of the year. To me, atinosphere and environment are se important especiaily for young people. They are here in great abun- *dance. The aura 6f beauty i the castie 11k. setting ddes make a differencé to ones weil being and acts of carelessness are few and far between. The scbool is run by a board of governors, in ail, in- cluding the principal. The board makes ail major decisions icluding those wbich pertairi to budget and the hirlng of a principal. Day today decisions are in the hands of the principal, now Mr. Kainche. .The dean, Mrs. Pýerry a totally dedicated staff nmember bas just returned froin 4 y'ears ffi Israel as an assitant headinistress. Mrs. Perry, as deaîin ,sets, standards and Miposes ten ot Iportant fuction'. RS In a'd"~ocratic soclety there must always b. an ae- nate which the private school provides. If people turn away froin other "ystems the private school becomes the <beneficiary. ICharacter, ,discipline, honour -and 'values are em- <pbaslzed, not easily te. be forgotten. Doors open ail over the world l for'old boys'and girls -0f ,our' private school sstem; much like: a club andfor many people universlty offers thé saine thing.ý You cannot venture -far witbout meeting a, sebool mate, flot'necewarlly your school but one of the group and this is an Introduction in Itself.," Academnies; that ýrelatlgtehgher education, an in- troduction- te univerulty much emphaslzed at the school. -Hi1gb standards are set and are expected te, be adhere « Apàrt frein subjecta sucb as languages, math and science,' sports are an important part of. the -curriculum. Soccer, basketball, fieldhockey, volley bal, judo, cross country skilng and swlmming te, naine a few. Some of the sports are" played i competition with other schools. A necessary part of a young, person's training, a_ self discipline and excellence, two values wbich are an asset ini later life.

A secondaryfunction the school is to service a snail community of foreign students te study English and special course is 'offerefi. Fucntionaily- bilingual these girls froin age slxtenn to seventeen, are registered in grade twelve. Witbin two years, these.students speak and write perfect English. They, of course,ý take other subjects and participate in every other way but thie purpose oftheir schooling ia te make thein completely'bilingual. Due to the revolution, in Iran man y anxious parents are sending their chldren te Cananda. About a haif a dozen are at this school. To say, they are an asset te our country is putting it mildly.. When I looked at these girls, some se young and se far froin home I wondered about their entry into our country. Has It been sfimplified for their parents by our government or 18 it a horrendous tangle of red tape and bureaucracy even a source of worry and concern te the girls. Our governinent must act in an orderly and expedient mnanner. With unsettled conditions insgo many parts of the w*orld and especiaily Iran, timeis, a large factor. No, time M ust be wasted, cer.tainy not by red tape. These girls are guests in our country', paying guests and makte ne deman- ds on governinent at anýylevel.__________ New breathin*g course This fail, Durhamn Region Lung Association will in- treduce a new pregrain for young aduit asthmatics.
