There are two special education classes, complete with expertly qualified teachers, a new principal, and a vice-principal. Joyce Bain was born in Saskatchewan and moved to Whitby in 1939. Joy attended Sinclair Public School on Taunton Road, and Whitby High School prior to entering Toronto Teachers College. Later she earned a bachelor of arts degree in English from the University of Toronto, and taught in Niagara on the Lake and Ajax before moving back to Whitby in 1959. Bain in married and has one daughter, Wendy, who lives with her husband Wayne and three children on Way Road in Brooklin. Her oldest son Matthew has entered kindergarten at Meadowcrest this term. She has been teaching locally since 1959 and was music consultant to the board of education for several years. She has held the position of vice- principal for the past four years, two of which were m er 1 Mid WHITBY FREE PR] at Meadowcrest. "My business is kids," says Bain, "to see they are happy, and are ensured of the best possible program available to brîng forth their strong poin- ts." Aithough she stresses children are her number one priority, she is also very interested in the in- service training of staff, the special education procedure, to see the excellent sports program con- tinue, and especially to form a close iason with the parents. Those who reniember her from two years ago, and those who will be shortly meeting her, will, I'm sure join me in welcoming Joy Bain to our school, and wilI co-operate with her in every way possible. A special welcome is also extended to Bob Kochan, our vice-principal. He was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, graduating from public and high school there. He earned a B.A. in physical and health education froni the University of Western Ontario, and a teaching certificate fromn Altouse Coilege which enables him to teach in both public and high schoollevels. Kochan has lived in the Whitby area for the past nine years, and has an excellent career in teaching. He will be a great asset as our new vice principal. He is sports oriented and.has done an exceptional amount of coaching in ail facets of sports within the school systeni. He wants to create a positive feeling for the kids. Wants themn to feel proud of "mteir" school, even protective, to the extent of curbing vandalism and theft. He wouid hope the students can feel Meadowcrest is a great place to be. "Sports through proper coaching can aid childr- en. It heips develop a dloser relationship between teacher and student, teaches discipline, and helps to earn the respect of the kids, " he says. This year Meadowcrest has 18 staff members and an enrolment of 416 - approximately 70 per cent of which are transported on five buses. As mentioned previously there are two special education classes this year. This is a marvelous opportunity for the child who has learning diffi- culties. This is also an exceptional asset to Meadowcrest School because it also involves an 4 4academic resource program". This 'is basically designed to help students who require assistance in possibly one subject only. Through this agendum they are able to obtain additionai help during school hours in order to upgrade their marks. It is also an asset to the particularly gifted child. Instead of being constricted by the average level of the rest of the class, they are able to pursue ttbeir knowledge and possibly surpass what they might have received in a regular classroorn situation. To my way of thinking, this can only benefit al lOWIS THE TIME TO REPAIR THAT hRI(NWINDOW ORSChEEN FOR FAST EFFICIENT REPAIRS AT COMPETITIVE PRICES VISIT Wanda & Tony Martin at THE COMPLETE HARDWARE STORE CORK ILES (in stock) MITCHELL BROTHERS (.fSSELS & CHIJRCII ST.

TIP 0F THE WEEK Isn't it annoying when you open a can of left-over oul hased paint and there is a rubbery film to be chiselled through. I've found the answer. When you are finished, pour a littie bit of minerai spirits gen- tly over the paint and it will keep fresh for several years. Don't mix until you are ready to use it again. Mixing won't hurt a bit because it is an oil base, same as the paint. I have had it up to here with the women's lib, men 's lib contraversy. If we are lucky, men and women will discover mhat they are people, with the same talents, commitments and, most important of ail, vulnerabilities.
