thiiirmlav ixxcmlxt 17 1970 tiih tribunk puix- 9 editors mail catholic high schools a neglected right lvar sir t am writing in regard to an article published in the tribune recently nov 261 under the heading oppose grant extension to separate schools this item interested me because i have been at tending separate schools for the past ten years i am 15 in grade 10 and attend senator oconnor college school toronto i travel there by a bus provided by the separate school board i board this bus at 650 am and do not arrive until 815 1 do not arrive back at home until about 450 pm this as you can see is a long way to go particularly when a local public and high school are located so near however the important thing is that i do this because i want to and not because i have to i am a catholic and want to practice understand and become involved in something that i have had ever since i can remem ber my parents have never forced religion on me the choice has been my own to attend a separate high school in writing this letter 1 am not seeking sympathy i am merely stating a point of view our side of the issue i am not asking you for an extension of school grants because i want them though i really do i am simply trying to fulfill a longneglected right i agree that religion can be taught in the home and so can sex education but wellington way travel service for all your travel nihds

secord christmas candies made with sweet dairy cream and fresh country butter our teachers are more qualified out of a 6day cycle with nine periods each day i have religion classes for three periods even here i do not discuss and study only religion it is something that cannot be locked up on a shelf in a textbook or even in a school it is a way of life that is experienced in my school i have a right to this just as you have a right to your public schools it is not just that my rights should be denied as i pointed out earlier i have attended separate schools for the past ten years i like the kids the teachers the atmosphere and the values placed on morals why must i then change schools and leave something that i am en titled to you are not just asking this of me but of my family and all catholics across ontario who had hopes of attending a separate high school would you ask the same of a public high school student the final reason is perhaps emotional but i cannot overemphasize the value my school holds for me it is something that must be experienced it is not the three religion periods a week but the integration and value of religion in life i can more fully realize that happiness is not a oneway street i can see a reason for kind ness and a reason for humanity but i dont intend to revolutionize the world just understand it a little better i attended the ontario catholic student federation oct 25 wrote letters argued carried signs reading we give a damn and prayed until i can do no more ah i know is that while i still cannot vote my parents can and when the day comes that my generation selects the next leaders there will be a few of us around who wont have forgotten what we have learned and will with all power fight for that which we are entitled julie
