TERRACE BAY NEWS Vol. 15 No. 26 June 28, 1972 ¥5¢ Por Copy. SUPER WEEK During the week of May 29 to June 2nd, the Terrace Bay Campus of Lake Superior High School tri ed an experiment called "Super Week", designed to overcome the limitations of normal length periods. The Terrace Bay Campus normally operates on a one-day cycle of ten periods. During Super Week, each period was extended to half a day so that it took ten half ~days or one week to run through a normal cycle. Participation by the students was good Alt hough attendance dropped from the normal of 90% to about 85%, most students present seemed to be enthusiastic. Buses were scheduled to many points both local and distant for field trips in subjects as diverse as art, electronics and geography. Having half-day periods avoided the problem of up- setting other classes with a field trip of this sort. During unscheduled classes, teachers made prepara- tions for next year in ordering equipment, updating courses and preparing June marks for promotion, as well as completing arrangements for classes later in the week. Even though some subject areas found difficulty in organizing a meaningful program for half a day, in general the enthusiasm of the majority of the teachers helped tremendously in making the program succeed. The variety of field trips and projects undertaken during the week was a credit to the resourcefulness and energy of the staff. A selection of the field trips included a History trip to an old prisoner of war camp (now Neys Provincial Park), and one to observe Indian Paintings at Kelly's Harbour. An electronics class journeyed to Thunder Bay airport continued page 2 BOARD TO SELL HOUSES TO TEACHING STAFF The Board approved the adoption of the minutes of meeting No. 7/72 after one amendment at the Lake Superior Board of Education meeting held June 21, 1972 in Marathon.
