One guest was welcomed. The meeting opened at 2 p.m. 'with the "Ode" and Mary Stewart Collect. A cordial welcome was issued' ® to all present by Mrs. Thos. Bell, Pres. of the Branch. Va 04 Susan McColl 1972 Mr. Paisley, Ladies and gentlemen, students, fellow graduates: I was very honoured to have been chosen to deliver this farewell message this evening and to represent Cartwright's graduating class. Most of us have been together for quite a long time an I hope I touch upon a few oof the sentiments that we commonly, share as we roalize, sadly I think, that this is the last commence- ment we shall attend as participating students. As a class we've enjoyed » many good and often excit- ing times together in the past thirteen years. In grade one, we encountered an entirely new way of life - being away from home all day and making so many new friends. Learning to co-ope- ¢ rate with teachers and with each other at recess was never an easy task. We were taught:"new*' math when the old kind was just. beginning to make sense,. but we undauntedly applied our mathematical skills to es- %timate the number of stu- dents we could fit into the back closet at any given moment when no teachers were in sight. - Before very long, eight years had passed and we » were ready to leave public school to enter yet another world. Along the way we lost some friends to other towns and other schools and most of us were quite apprehens- ive about grade nine and the implications that 'High School" suggested. Of course we felt quite grown up then, even if we didn't act it. I think, at least I hope, Prince Albert News Mr. and Mrs. Les Beacock were Sunday guests with her sister and husband Mr. and- Mrs. L. Devitt, Oshawa. All enjoyed the tour of the interior of the late Col. R. S. and Mrs. McLaughlin's fab- ulous residence (Parkwood). Also attended their cousins Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Vick- ery's "At Home' celebrating seventy years married life. This event was held in the Adelaide House, Oshawa. Prince Albert United Church celebrated its 106th Anniversary Service, Rev. Reeves introduced the guest speaker, Rev. George Mun- dy from Brooklin, who deliv- ered a worthwhile fhessage. Special music was under the direction - of Mr. Donald Keeler and his choir of about thirty members from King- view United Church, Osha- wa, with Miss Rundle at the piano. Many items of business were on the agenda for discussion. During correspondence in- formation was read re - the National Convention, to be held in Banff, Alberta next year, also a letter to do with the A.C.W.W. competitions for 1974. Any member desir- ing informatign regarding these items -- contact the secretary, Miss Dodd. An enjoyable evening was spent - with the Myrtle Branch recently when two car-loads attended. A Christmas programme we've all grown up quite a bit since the rowdy days of grade nine; and High School has played a major role in helping us to achieve our present degree of adulthood. We found we had to do a lot of work on our own; responsib- ilites began to lie more and more with the students, and of course this is how it should be. When I sat down to recall my years at Cartwright, certain events seemed most memorable. Compared to other larger schools, Cart- 'wright was very lucky be- cause all students could participate in excursions and other activities. Washington D.C: was a wonderful ex- perience. We sat in the Capital Building, toured the White House and strolled through the Smithsonian In- stitute. Equally interesting were old Quebec City and Montreal where everyone had a chance to employ a little French, and back in grade nine we all stood . before, and some beneath, Niagara Falls. Commencements have al- ways been exciting. Many noon hours were spent under the capable direction of Mr. Ashton as the Glee Club alternately desecrated and perfected various musical arrangements. But then I think perhaps the House competitions in one-act plays were the high point of my year. Everyone's attention becomes focused on his own house play and the tension mounts until the judges select the best per- formance and the stars of the evening. However, Cartwright's re- markable school spirit al- ways shines most brightly at track and field competitions. As friendly opponents we rival Hillbrook each year for the Bi:School trophy and we are always proud of our exceptional athletes who go on to win laurels at LOSSA and COSSA. But this school spirit extends not only to athletic events but to every- thing the students under- take. there is an aura of friendliness and comraderie that can be sensed as soon as one enters the front door of our High School, and which seldom can be found in the halls of so-called modern, highly developed complexi- ties in which students are numbers rather than per- sonalities. But the atmosphere and environment at Cartwright High School can primarily be attributed to the efforts of the teachers. They ungrud- gingly give their advice and help whenever its asked for, contributing much but rece- iving little compensation. In a situation where facilities are limited, all are chal- lenged to use imagination and initiative to pursue new has been schedule for the Community Nursing Home - the second Wednesday in December. Committee in charge comprises Mrs. C. DeYonge, Mrs. Thos. Bell, Mrs. N. Williams and Mrs..S. Cawker. Congratulations to Donna and Denna Ballard for win- ning the Honeydale Senior Prize in Home Economics (the girls were tied), also Carol Anne Sharpe for winn- ing the Honeydale Junior Prize in Home Economics. The prizes were presented (continued on page 22) edictory address by extracurricular aclivities. Student-teacher co-operation is necessary and very evident in for example, the Outers Club, the Ski Club and the Heart Fund and Clean-Up Cart- wright Campaigns. I've found that the friend- liness and sense of belonging that I associate with C.H.S. have never diminished and I know we're all inexpressibly happy that Cartwright High School still stands apart as an edifice in which the search for knowledge con- tinues and where high schol- astic standards are expected and often reached. Any politician after 'the Cart- wright vote would surely do well to advocate more small high schools. 2 Bul for the graduates, our high school days are over. We are off now into another world, but this time it's the ideas for ann Me * REAL isTATL HA PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1972 -- 13 | Should expect some answer on Regional Government this fall Arthur Meen, MPP for York East and parliamen- tary assistant to Charles McNaughton, provincial treasurer, told an audience at Durham. College recently that Oshawa should expect "some definite answer on régional government from the province by late Fall". Mr. Meen was speaking at a panel discussion on the role of the province in local government. The panel dis- cus$ion is the second in a six-week series at Durham College on various phases of local government. Other panel members were Mayor real one. We may journey far away from you Cartwright, but. we'll never forget you. What more can 1 say, except thank you Cartwright for coming tonight and for all the support and encourage- ment you give to your high school; thanks to all our parents, to the students, to the teachers and a special thanks to Mr. Paisley. My only wish is that we may now proceed to achieve goals which are a far more worhty tribute to you than my words could ever be. 2tel/ tant Lepesy CRESTS of Petroléum sik and car com- -- Panies, farm animals, constp- uction equipment etc. also avail- able, Printed in Your choice of type and colors of ink.

In his opening speech, Mr. Meen outlined the growing involvement of the province in local government affairs. "In his opening speech, Mr. Meen outlined the grow- ing involvement of the pro- vince in local government affairs. "In the past, at every level, governments governed far less than they do today," he said. "What government there was at the local level had to be pretty autonomous with communication and travel so restricted as it was in the early days." Mr. Meen said with the dvent of the internal com- bustion engine, automobiles and roads, a greater degree of mobility caused new pro- blems. "New roads were needed to aid the traffic problems; piped water and treatment plants had to replace the village pump," he said. He said in this way, the province started to become involved in local government affairs. "All the modern trends produced problems that municipalities were unable to cope with on their own," he said. "With property CRE ILOD now available from Port Perry Sta, C. LH, P.O. BOX 90 PORT PERRY taxation as their only sub- stantial source of income, they simply could not raise enough money to pay for the physical facilites a com- munity needs. "Education, in fact, is a good example of the way in which some government services that were once a completely municipal con- cern have become an n- terest strongly shared and substantially financed by the province," Mr. Meen said. Questions from the aud- ience were concerned mainly with the regional government issue. One part- icipant wanted to know why the province is recommen- ding the boundaries take up such a large part of Ontario County. Dr. Mcllveen said: "That is just talk at the present time. The province has not made up its mind on where the boundaries will be." Mayor McNeely said Osh- awa did not agree with the whole of Ontario County being included in an eastern region. 'In the Oshawa Area Planning and Development Study brief we recommen- ded only the southern part of Ontario County be inclu- ded." Mr. Meen said in regional government systems already set up (Ottawa- Carleton for example), it was not the intention of the province to have any one municipality dominate the region. He said members of the regional council were usu- ally the top eight or 10 who gained the highest number of votes in the local level (or second tier) elections.
