Mr. Khan -------- Mr. Khan, originally from Guyana, South America, came to Canada to obtain his Bachelor of Agriculture in 1959. He completed his de- gree at MacDonald College in 1963. Previously he taught in Guyand for nine years and after that in Ontario for two. He finds that Canadian students are not as serious in their workhabits as those in Guyana. Lack of interest and no cooperation are, by the way, the qualities that he dislikes most. He admires students who work hard on their subjects and do not fool around. When asked if their was anything about John Rennie that he would like changed, he said that he would like to see a Math Club and also more excursions, from which all would benefiJc, to Sir George, MacDonald, and other universities. He is,how- ever, in favour of a school uniform, as he believes it to be neat. This year he is.teaching New Math -Grade 10, Old Math -Grade 11, Intermediate Algebra, and Trigonometry. We hope Mr. Khan has a long and happy stay at John Rennie. Mr. Sutherland -------------- Mr. Sutherland is not exactly a new comer to John Rennie, having taught here between 1960 and 1962. Between 1956 and 1960 he taught in Montreal, between 1962 and 1967 at Lindsay Place, and took last year off for further education. He has attended McGill, Sir George, and the University of Vermont, in Burlington. He holds his B.A., M.ED. and a first class teaching certificate and this year teaches General Science and Physics. He thinks common sense in large amounts is the most important quality in a student and that there has been a general increase in such. He comes from both Arvida and Montreal, is married and has three sons aged 7, 4, and 3. His main extra-curricular inter- est. is sports and he has coached both Bantam and Junior Football teams at J.R. This year however he hopes to devote his time to the Senior Basketball team, the Ski Club, and the Golf team. He thinks the stu- dents are behaving well under the circumstances what with the con- struction noise and all and he feels that their department is better than that in the American schools he visited during his sabbatical.
