TEACHER OF THE WEEK: Mrs. R.D . Forgues Mrs. Forgues comes to us from Hearst, Ontario, where she was employed as a teacher of Commercial subjects and a Guidance Counsellor at Hearst High School for three years. Prior to this, she taught at Finch, Chesterville, and Schreiber. Mrs. Forgues was born in Eastern Ontario, and upon graduation from Alexandria High School she was employed in business in several centres in Eastern Ontario, and in Sudbury. Since entering the teaching profession in 1964, she has spent all but one summer attending Summer School in Toronto and Kingston, taking O.C .E., the Department of Education courses in Guidance, and degree credits from Queen's University." She now holds a Voc-Com. certificate, and a Specialist Certificate in Guidance. Two summers ago Mr. and Mrs. Forgues, and their daughter Marla Sue, spent a month touring the British Isles and several countries on the continent. They are looking for- ward to another overseas trip in the near future. We are pleased that the Forgues family has re- turned to Schreiber to take up residence, and we wish them all the best. LEST WE FORGET The students of Schreiber Campus assembled in the gymnasium on November 10, 1971, to honour the dead of the two world wars. The President of the Student Council, Dale Boutilier, gave a brief talk stressing the contribu- tion that the many soliders made for their country. Following this talk, the students and staff watch- ed a 20-minute programme which Mr. Angelini and Mr. Pokorny of the History Department presented. ~The presentation consisted of slides being shown on a split-screen (two screens) along with a musical soundtrack which featured excerpts from such recordings as "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again," "Cruel War", "Lily Marlene", and "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" as 'well as excerpts from Chamberlain's, Churchill's and Roosevelt's speeches. The emphasis was on "never go to war again.' The unique split-screen image helped to establish the contrast between war and peace, and the scenes and music were excellently combined by Messrs. Angelini and Pokorny to portray a most effective and touching way of honouring our dead soldiers. Before returning to class, everyone rose for a minute of silence to dwell on the pictures they had seen and to remember what our fallen had done. WAGE Raw Prklia T ihenw--
