2A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, Merch 12, 1966 JIM VERRALL CAROL LAMI PNR emma ee TERRY DONOVAN TEENS TALK ENE TEN HOOF ROBERT STEWART OF SCHOOLS Six students of the new Oshawa Catholic High School were asked what .hey thought of their school's modern facilities. In what way do the educational innovations help them? They said: PATRICIA KAHN, 19, Grade 12: "The modern equip- ment in our building has proven to be a great heip to me. I have attended other schools but they don't have what we have. All the desks in the school have bucket seats. The chemistry lab is one of the most modern around. Television is used frequently to illustrate courses.' CAROL LAMI, 17, Grade 12: "The new facilities in our ~ school are a sharp contrast to those of former years. The projector, public address system and advanced chemistry equipment are necessary to keep up with today's fast-mov- ing world. Science, for example, has advanced so quickly that it would be impossible for students to keep up without the new equipment. One cannot omit the advanced gym- nasium equipment here." JIM VERRALL, 17 Grade 12: "With education such as math and chemistry new 'gadgets' are a necessity. This school provides these needed facilities including television on wheels, over-head projectors and tape recorders avail- able to every room in the school." TERRY DONOVAN, 14, Grade'9: "What more can you say? It's just up to date, that's all. An entirely different phase of instruction has been introduced with the new tech- nical equipment here." ENE TEN HAAF, 16, Grade 12: 'There are a great many facilities in our new school which give us a great advantage over what we had last year. The tape recorder helps our French and Latin instruction. Math and English classes are broadcast over television. Modern equipment in the cafeteria helps serve hot meals." ROBERT STEWART, 17, Grade 12: "Potential! There is all kinds of room for that in this school. It's the educa- tion institute of the future, only it's up and in use now."

(The following reviews were written by Miss Ruth Brooking, Head of the adult circulation department, Mc- Laughlin Public Library.) The Waters Under the Earth, by John Cecil Moore. For four centuries Seldons had occupied the Manor of Doddington and the red squirrels had lived in the great oaks which surround- ed it, giving rise to the belief that all would be well as long as there were Doddington squir- rels and Doddington squires. Janet Seldon had no real inkl- ing that the red squirrel she glimpsed on a July day in 1950 was the last one they would see at Doddington. Just as the grey squirrels had driven out the red ones from the great oaks, so the new social order, symboliz- ed by the socialistic gardener, Fenton, was supplanting the old one in England. The first Ferdinando-had built quired pirateering in Armada oaks which grew into the great Park. The Seldon fortunes waxed and waned over the centuries but by the mid-nineteen hun- dreds were steadily declining. When eighteen-year-old Susan refurned to Doddington from school, her mother tried to ar- range a marriage with her wealthy cousin, Tony, in a vain effort to preserve Doddington. clinging with her parents to the old order or by facing the chal- lenge of the new world is the the book.

He is also known for his earlier book, I've Been Around, and Around and Around and Around, a tongue-in-cheek Here are some of the critics' comments on Nursery Rhymes: "<->. Sin witty fashion romps through almost all of the ani- mal world. His nicely light, hu- morous verse compliments me- ticulous research that supplies all the curious, interesting and salient facts of every animal pictured. The text is amply and aptly illustrated by Colette Mac- Neil." -- The Gazette, Mont- real. "On the surface, it looks like a gently humorous abecedar- ian book . . . But on the other side, the Mad-side of Bain shows through . . .You can read this any time you want -- and find it one of the funniest lit- tle books in a long time." -- The Province, Vancouver.

The Waters Under the Earth is more than a good story. Set against the pageantry of Eng- lish _ history, this novel depicts the Passing of the aristocratic of the new socialistic order, just as the oaks of Doddington are felled for a new roadway. The author has displayed complete mastery of the English lan- guage, along with an elegant, beautiful style of writing rarely found in modern fiction. -Remi- niscent of John Galsworthy's sagas, The Waters Under the Earth is a delightful book.
