Despite the very slippery ice, and the seemingly endless fresh replacements of the grade 8 team, the teaching staff of Schreiber Public School won a signal victory in the annual broomball game - with vice principal Tom Quinton, the hero of the event, scoring the one lone goal for the teachers. Referee, Bruce Costall, was imported from Terrace Bay for the important occasion and dealt out penalties with stern visage to Lanky Ladigan, Masher McKay and Rocket Robertson. The play was maintained at a furious pace, the fans loud in their support and following the game the exhausted teachers retired for coffee and cakes, to toast their here "Quick- Draw Quinton" who'd given them the first victory since the series began.

The grant toward installing artificial ice gave new life to the club whose members have loyally supported it even though the season was a few brief months on natural ice.

The work on the artificial ice installation has begun and it is expected will be in full swing shortly.
