THE. OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 19,1963 7 STAFF OF NEW SIMCOE HALL BOYS' CLUB HAROLD McNEILL GRAHAM "TIM" NELSON GEORGE MUDD McNeill Is Pioneer Worker Simcoe Hall Development Although the working hours at Simcoe Hall are. not to be envied, the hard-working staff and volunteer workers show no signs of flagging. With two clubs now requiring supervision, there will probably be still more to fit into the time. The staff members, who will be divided between the two clubs, are Mr. and Mrs. Har- old McNeill, Miss Sally Parker, Mrs. Doris Nash, Mrs. Edith Taylor, Mrs. W. (Doris) Cole, Graham Nelson, Wes. Ogden, Walter Cole, Bernard Muzeen and George Mudd. Mr. McNeill is the executive director of Simcoe Hall. He joined the staff of the Settle- ment House in 1947, at that time only man there.. Previous to this, he was a teacher with the Canadian Indian Home Mission run by the Presbyterian Church. In his first year at Simcoe Hall, Mr. McNeill saw the need for a building to house a gymnasium, theatre, games - room, finally completed in 1951,. Since 1951, Mr. McNeill has also. been Probation Officer for the City of Oshawa Juvenile and Fam- ily courts. Mrs. McNeill came with her husband to Simcoe Hall, work- ing voluntarily until 1954 when she began working part-time. Although officially, she is still working as secretary-treasurer, part-time, her hours are the same as those of the other mem- bers of the staff. NURSERY SCHOOL Miss Parker joined the staff in 1954. She is director of all the girls' activities conducted in Simcoe Hall and also of the Nursery school. When Mrs. Nash joined the Staff in 1956, she originally assisted with the girls' activi- ties and the Nursery school. Later she moved on to the ad- ministrative side, where she is now secretary. The supervisor of the junior girls' activities, Mrs. Taylor, also assists ,in the Nursery school. She came to Simcoe Hall in 1959. One of the very important wel- fare services centred at Simcoe Hall is used clothing. In charge of the used clothing building is Mrs. Cole, who sorts out the incoming garmenis and decides where they should go next. The building was provided by the City of Oshawa and the Wom- en's Welfare League, and orig- inally the city stored furniture in one section, There is no longer any room for this, and Mrs. Cole comes in every day to do what used te be a one-day-a- week job.
