Page 32 - 1983 Wardlaw Hartridge

Although the role played by the Trustees remains a mystery to most students, they play an active part in school life as is in­ creasingly evident in their Centennial ac­ tivities. The plans for the Centennial have been in effect for the past year. Pr. James Sorger heads the Centennial Committee, while under him there are many committees with chairpeople. The publicity for the Cen­ tennial, chaired by Ms. Patricia Turner, planned the kick-off picnic in May, 1983, and has continued to provide the school with other festivities since. The Centennial Historical Committee, chaired by Mr. Peter Stevenson, has been supplying the school,
through the Beacon, with an in-depth per spective of the history of both Wardlaw and Hartridge.
under the direction of the several chairper sons including the above and Mr. Morrison, Mr. Del Vento, and Mrs. Childers, has been successful thus far. Through the support of alumni/ae. parents, and foundational grants, the school is on its way towards its goal of one million dollars.
Finally, a new committee was created this year, the Faculty and Curriculum Com­ mittee. This committee looks at the philos ophies of the school. Its function is to sug­ gest and to learn. The committee also allows each department to express its own needs and concerns directly to the board. Al though the committee has only met twice this year, they have discussed the use of writing skills in every subject and the en­ larging role of the computer. Mr. Ayres has stated, as the year rolls to an end, that
One of the most active, non-Centennial,
committees is the Development Commit­ working with the committees and the
tee, which is co-chaired by Mrs. Fredrick Lackland. Mr. M. Peter Madsen and Mr. Da vid Pearson. They have worked very hard with the Century Challenge Fund, which.
Trustees as a whole has helped him a great deal in running the school, and he looks forward to helping the school into another century.
