In mid-July, George Stone & Sons contractors moved in to begin renovations in the older part of the school. They began tearing out walls, old lockers, and adding on to the back of the school. The gymnasium is already completed; the old windows were taken out and closed in, and the floor has been completely stripped and redone. The exterior of the gym has also experienced a face-lift, and now matches the rest of the school. Although the renovations will not be completed until late fall, students will only suffer minor inconveniences. All classes will be held at the other end, away from the area currently being worked on. "The construction is not going to interfere with the starting of school at all," said Sandra Tremblay, secretary of the Terrace Bay campus. She-said that students will not have to go into the halls that are under con- Back to By Angie Saunders The News "It's back to the old grind" time again. How many of your mothers say that? Summer has once again come to an end. That means the end of swimming, camping, baseball, staying up late, and sleeping in til noon. Back are the homework assignments, bag lunches, school bus trips, and of course the "What I did on my summer vacation" essays. No matter. how much they deny it, most students do look forward to going back to school. School is the place where you can meet together with friends that you haven't seen all summer. You have a chance to play sports, participate in extracurricular activities, run for student council, and of course, get a good educa- tion. It also means going shopping for back to school clothes, books, and supplies. Every year students seem to follow the season's fashion craze. The local stores do their best to keep up on the latest styles. The young people around Terrace Bay and Schreiber more Schock cont'd from 1| tre ice performer with the Boston Bruins in 1964-65.

In the main hall, lockers have been removed, and they will be replaced in certain areas later on. Both the girls and boys bath- rooms are. also going to be com- pletely renovated, and students will have to use the washrooms at _ the other end of the school. Until work on the classrooms is completed, students will also be using rooms at the other end of the school. Rooms currently under construction include a sci- ence classroom, which has been completely cleared and will house all new desks and equipment when finished. The art and geog- raphy rooms are also undergoing changes, including the installation of new windows. New rooms are being added on to the back of the school, and will probably be used for storage once completed. One room will eventually be used as a special education classroom. For now, the school office is located in the former lunch room. Tremblay said that the temporary location is working out well, as all the necessary equipment has been moved in, including desks, School or less dress the same except for a few non-conformists. "High school kids buy mostly jeans and t-shirts," said Mike Moore of Moore's of Terrace Bay. He also mentioned that anything in fleece or air-brush painted is very popular. For the older students, the clothes the stores are selling this fall are in earth tones. Dark blues, greens, purples, pinks, and § khakis seem to dominate many of the local racks. These colours dominate the clothes at Spadoni's Department Store where they are still receiv- ing fall stock. For the younger kids, there are a few items that seem to be sell- ing like crazy. "Every year a certain fad is in |'/}' and this year is no different," said Donna Mayry who works at Northern, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clothes are selling. We can't keep them in stock, they're gone so fast. Super Mario Brothers is big too." "We've got a lot of cords in this fall," said Noelle Person at Robinsons.

When the office is completed, it will be more easily found from the hallway. Windows are going to be installed where the wall once was. < "It's going to be more visible," said Tremblay, who says the new office will be a nice change. For a few months, students and staff will have to adjust until the construction is finished. Yet once the classrooms and the new offices are available, everyone will be able to enjoy the improve- ments. © CORRECTION In the August 28, 1990 issue off The News, the explanation under the photo on page 11 that read "OPP negotiators thank James Kwissiwa, Chief of the Pays PLat band, for his co-operation" was incorrect.
