Similar thougits were expresâ€" sed at the recent graduation exerâ€" cise which was attended by sevâ€" eral hundred students and parâ€" ents. Numerous awards and burâ€" saries were given to those stuâ€" dents who, in Grade 13 and throughout their high school years had shown academic excellence and initiative. # Waterice Chronicle, Thureday, November 27, 1969 By SUSAN MERTENS The challenge presented by exâ€" aminations has been met for another term and the results which have been filtering back to the students this past week are an indication of how well they rose to the challenge. Consolation lies in the second term which provides a fresh opâ€" portunity to better the previous record. For most, the work involved seems a bit senseless until they have graduated. It is then that they can see the value of their education, and the potential that it gives them for the future. Eskimo pilots in training for northern development Pilots fiying in Canadian Arctic skies soon might be startled to hear the crackle of the Eskimo language over their radio receivâ€" ers. Aâ€"contingent of three Eskimo youths, what the federal governâ€" ment hopes is the vanguard of northern residents who will beâ€" come aviators, have reported to the Canadian forces airbase at Borden, Ont. to begin training as pilots. Eskimo pilots are already beâ€" hind the controls of aircraft in Canada‘s north, but these three young men represent a concerted government effort to bring people of the high Arctic into the foreâ€" front of modern aviation. Sponsored by the departnient of Indian affairs and northern deâ€" velopment, the three will undergo two years of flight training aimâ€" ed at equipping them with both fixedâ€"wing and helicopter pilot liâ€" censes. The demand for pilots in the Yukon and Northwest Terriâ€" tories has increased rapidly as a result of oil and mineral exploraâ€" tion activity. WCI notes In their course at CFB Borden the trainees will study air frame and aero engine mechanics. Folâ€" lowing that, they will receive onâ€" theâ€"job training during the sumâ€" mer of 1970 with Okanagan Heliâ€" copters Limited of Vancouver which has agreed with the federal government to provide employâ€" ment for successful graduates of this program. Part of the summer will be spent as trainees in bush eamps supporting field parties. MOUNSTEPHEN Dance helps students to unwind WATERLOO TOWNSHIP COUNCIL FLECT JOHN for School activities are beginning to resume their usual hectic pace with the culmination of exams. Last weekend students were able to unwind from exam pressures at a dance which featured the sound of the Hooker Family. â€"Planning is already under way for a Christmas dance. The date and the band are yet to be deâ€" cided, but the dance should offer a great way to start off the Christâ€" mas holidays. The students are expected to graduate in the winter of 1971 as both fixedâ€"wing and helicopter pilots. The training is divided into phases to enable any trainee leaving the program after successâ€" fully completing phase one or phase two to qualify/for a particuâ€" lar kind of work in the aviation industry compatible with his tra@n- ing. + Plans are also being made for the annual Pot Bellyâ€"a student operated coffee house which is held the week befort holidays. Proceeds from the venture go to charity. Auditions for this year‘s musiâ€" cal comedy have been completed and the results will be available for next week‘s column. However, there‘s still room backstage for any interested, hardâ€"working stuâ€" dents. The project to train the Eskiâ€" mos was initiated under the deâ€" partment of Indian affairs and northern development‘s new_ emâ€" ployment liaison program w?re- by the federal government is working more closely with reâ€" source development firms in the north to encourage the training and hiring of northern residents, particularly Indians, Eskimos and Metis. The department of national deâ€" fence has made their training faâ€" cilities available to the Eskimos at the Borden airbase because private aviation schools in Canada currently have a large backlog of applicants waiting for admission. The students, all high school students, were selected by the department of Indian affairs and northern development‘s selection and placement officers. The trainees are: Michael Kuâ€" sugak, 21, of Rankin Inlet, a forâ€" mer student at the University of Saskatchewan; Thomas Suluk, 19, of Eskimo Point, a Grade 12 gradâ€" uate; and Mark Tooktoo, 17, of Churchill, a vocational school student.
