      His 31 years with the North York Board of Education give teacher Walker Dear (middle) the second-longest service record of high school teachers in the borough. Technical director at Downsview Secondary School since 1962, he retires June 30. With him are two of his former students who now are teachers at the school. Gordon Brown (left) and Stan Tsoki as they recall some of the years.

      Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
