TRIBUTE TO A GOOD TEACHER i A tribute to one of our most-respected (buf least~ publicized) citizens was intended several columns ago. She is Miss Marie Shantz, of 113 Gibb street, Hundreds of students passed through her Com- mercial classes at OCVI during a 30-year teaching career that terminated last June with her retirement, She had an enviable reputation as a teacher, She never sought favor or popularity, yet she was one of the most beloved of teachers, She maintained the highest standards, was a stickler for detail, and insisted most firmly that students measure up to her own stiff scholastic yardsticks before she would rec ommend them for either employment or certificates, She did all within her power, without fear or favor, to prepare them for the rugged road of life, not to men- tion the exacting duties of a good stenographer. There was a nice touch to the reunion dinner given to her last November, when she was given a standing ovation and handsome gifts -- many of the 150 former students present had not seen her for several years, some dating back to the early 1030's, This was not only a tribute to Miss Shantz, it was a tribute to the studepts themselves for being so thoughtful in remembering 'a good teacher, sons miraculously escaped ser- | family had finished New Year's fous Injury.

He came to Oshawa in 1050 and entered into a law partnership with the late Arthur W, 8. Greer, his uncle who died in 1955 He entered the board race because he has long been interested in education matters, and this does not stem alone from the fact that he has four children. He is anxious to find out if some standardization system can not be effected in the building of public schools, especially in the way of architecural plans that vould be used for more than one school. He doesn't pretend to know the answers to such complex problems, but he would like to know why it would not bé feasible to set up technical training shops in the schools with the assistance of large industrial and manufacturing firms (such as General Motors). »He says too many technical school grads must be ro-trained and he feels there is a great need for an over haul in some aspects of the technical training system, hit "he wants to investigate more before taking any definite stand on the subject. Greer was graduated from the University of To- tonto in 1040, with a Bachelor of Applied Science de- gree, and from Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, in i TH was an RCAF pilot on anti-submarine patrol duty on the East Coast and Newfoundland and during the Second World War, x: ithe was de. | he If you are a Home-Owner, you may consolidate all of your bills into one low-cost mortgage loan. ha---- * FAST CONFIDENTIAL SERVICE * NO CO-SIGNERS NECESSARY * FREE INFORMATION * LOW MONTHLY PAYMENTS Phone RA 3-3993 Today!
