150 DARE TO BE WISE
LECTIVES
•••
Student and staff commitment make it a huge success!
Two years of ideas, enthusiasm, co-operation and participation all fell into place this year and produced an immensely successful winter elec- tives Enrichment Program. Thirty-five activhies were set up in the school and surrounding com- munity enabling 1300 students to participate for three consecutive Tuesdays from 1:00 to 3:15 p.m.
Some seminars involved special community professionals giving up valuable business time, but most had staff .members call upon their special abilities. Perhaps you might have been able to challenge Mr. J. Moore to a squash game at the Queen's Squash Club, assist Mr. Bluemke with some first aid techniques or learned the perils of winter survival with. Mr. Field. Mrs. Weigand helped 'those in the dark' in learning how to develop their own photos or you could have had a complete new look with Mrs. Top- ping's make-up courses.
The success of a program of this magnitude demanded: l. full student participation and 2. a dedicated staff willing to spend the extra time. We had plenty of both and we are confident all person's gained from the experience.

The worst part of part of this year's Elective Program was trying to decide upon which workshop to attend. With some 35 choices, the decision was not easy. A popular choice was Mr. Purdy's first-aid course (Top Lt.) while David Cousins took to the parking lot for some hockey (Top Rt.) (Mid Lt.) Some chess enthusiasts had the opportunity to challenge others while some engaged in a hobby perhaps they had never tried before, (Mid. Rt.) such as weaving.
For those "who have always wanted to throw their weight around"', judo was offered (Bot. Lt.) The make-up session was very popular (Bot. Mid.) among the school 's fairer sex. Carrie Rafters and Lorraine Oster displayed their talents in the stained-glass elective. (Bot. Rt.)
