The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 25, 1975 15 Shows PublicSchool Closeswith Program Nlus Presentatlions by Margaret Killeen About 200 friends and neigh- oours crowded into Shaw's School on Thursday evening, June 19th to enjoy a fine program put on entirely by students and former students of Shaw's. Mr. Lewis Wood was the capable chairman who intro- duced the guitar players who were playing as the friends arrived. Ron Hendrikx played lead; Dale Hendrikx on bass; and John David Killeen played rhythm which got the pro- gram off to a fine start. The pupils of the Junior School sang and played their recorders for several num- bers, with Mrs. A. Creighton at the piano. Then a group of 10 teenage boys staged« a meeting of the Shaw's Boys' Club wth lots of local humor. Those taking part were J. Ayre, M. Ball, K. Barrie, J. Elliott, G. Guthrie, M. Price, M. Hendrikx, J.D. Killeen, B. Robinson and K. Wood. Miss Carol Wight sang several son gs in her own delightful style as the teenage girls of Shaw's prepared for a show of School Fashions Through the Years. The com- mentator was Karen Ball with Heather Barrie as pianist. The models very professional-like in their genume. school cost- umes from the forties, fifties, sixties and seventies were J. Bragg, K. Dow, L. Fraser, R. Killeen, C. Pocock, D. Robin- son, S. Robinson, W. Robin- son, P. Van Meer. At this time Mr. Wood called to the platform Mrs. Betty Foster - Jr. Room teacher and Mrs. Auriele Creighton - Music Director. After a few well chosen words of ap- preciation for all their help these past few years they were presented with lovely gifts - cups and saucers and an attractive attache case to Mrs. Foster, from her pupils. They both graciously thanked the Shaw's people for their kindness and promised to always remember the plea- sant times they had both enjoyed while at this school. The program continued with severa favorite musical sel- ections by the Senior Room -pupils. They also played their recorders and addedý a bar- niony section which provided a very enjoyable presentation. This was followed by several )Ilendid piano duets by Janet ragg and Rosemary Kileen. "Be it resolved that a small school is more beneficial to a community and its children than a large one" was the subject of a very lively debate chaired by Miss Heather Barrie. The debaters who had given the subject much thought, presented their var- ibus points admirably. On the affirmative side were James Robir"on and Kenneth Bragg while Donald Rickard and Gerâld Brown presented views of disagreement with the resolution. The debate was well received ànd the aud- ience's reaction as- to the winning team was difficult to evaluate. Mrs. Thelma Gilbank, prin- cipal at Shaw's for 13 years was called to the platform. Mr. Wood expressed the sincere gratitude of the whole community to a good and faithful friend and teacher and offered best wishes as she goes on to become a town teacher at Vincent Massey Public School while the senior boys made the presentation of a set of redwood patio furniture. Mrs. Gilbank, though overwhelmed by the gifts and from seeing so many of her former pupils gathered together again, replied grac- iously as all present san "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow". Mrs. Cindy Ayre-Russell then favored those present with two of her fine vocal solos and asked all to join in on the second chorus of "Consider Yourself One of Us" especial- ly for Mrs. Gilbank. By this time a young square dance caller named Robbie Green was in position at the mike for an exhibition dance complete with straw hats to the tune of Darling Nellie Gray. The well practised dancers were S. Verch and S. Wood; G. Burgess and A. Price; N. Williams and R. Elliott; S. Derby and G. Wight. After Mr. Wood had thanked all those who had taken part as well as Mrs. M. Dow for her work in making two banners saying "Farewell to Shaw's", he reminded all present to sign the guest books where Muriel Lane was in charge. The group then moved to the Junior School where a tradit- ional Shaw's lunch had been placed in buffet style. A very pleasant social hour took place both in and out of doors. The committee in charge of the rogram was: Mesdames G. Hendrikx, M. Killeen, P. Price, and B. Wood. Others on the committee were Mes- dames B. Campbell, L. Cox, B. Ball, G. Guthrie, T. Lane, D. Barrie and M. Wood. And so - another school closes and with it another era passes. Trinity On Tuesday, June 17th, Trinity U.C.W. held a lunch- eon, entertaining the Friend- ship Club.

A sing song followed, led by Mrs. macher, with Mrs. Smith at the piano. Mrs. H. Gibson rea a poem, "Thought for the Day" to open the devotional period.

The McDonald Stage Band from Oshawa provided an excellent variety of music for people of all ages. A dehicious luncheon was served at which time there was much remìniscing about the "Good old days." An even larger crowd at- tended the variety program which was held at the Recrea- tion Centre Sunday afternoon. The program was quite in- formal and attempted to stress some of the highlights of the past 53 years with representatives of eachfive year period entertaining in some way or providing some recollections - both sublime and ridiculous - of their era at school. Two emotion packed sur- prises were included in the program. Mary Lou Malcolm, presented Mr. Gordon Pais-, ey, ber principal a gift of appreciation from the school body. She then led in the singing of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" to which the large crowd responded with a standing ovation. During the rogram, Dalton Dorrell, pai a weil-earned' glowing tribute to Mr. Wallace Marlow for his many, many years of work in the field of education in Cartwright. He called Mr. Marlow to the stage and presented him with a suitable plaque. Mr. Marlow gave a fitting reply and in turn gave tribute to the late Mr. W.A.
