it Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 23, 1983 Terrace Bay high school 30 years old The Terrace Bay High School building marked its 30th anniversary last week. The structure was constructed at a cost of $200,000 and officially opened on February 17, 1953. Lake Superior School Board Chairman Mike Reid said, "This build- ing has served the com- . munity and our students well for three decades. The men and women who planned and work- ed to build this school in the early days when the community. of Terrace Bay itself was just being built wanted a good education offered in it. The calibre of the stu- dents who have gradu- ated from this school shows that that goal has been achieved."' 'The Board is deter- mined to continue this dedication to quality education in Terrace Bay."' The Fort William daily newspaper of the time reported that, "Last Tuesday evening saw the opening of Ter- race Bay's new Continu- ation School. Mr. Monty Paget, Vice Chairman of the Continuation School Board made the open- ing remarks, due to the illness of the Chairman, Mr. H. Laundy. Mr. Ed Cavanaugh, member of the Board, introduced the platform guests as Mr. Jack Handle, Reeve of Schreiber, Mr. D.C. Porter, mill manager, Mr. D.A. Locking, prin- cipal, Mr. Fred S. Sea- born, assistant vice prin- cipal and Mr. W.R. Kel- let representing Kim- berly-Clark."' "The guest speaker was Mr. A.H. McKague, inspector of Continuation Schools. Mr. McKague empha- sized how fortunate this town was to have such a well planned school. Most schools are filled to capacity upon their opening and have to immediately begin addi- tions, whereas this school will handle the needs of the town for a good many years to come."' "The Continuation School is an elaborate one storey building, built in the form of a T to allow for further expan- sion (editor's note: an extension was subse- quently built on to the original wooden wing. It is the brick structure that presently houses the technical shops, offices, library and classrooms.) The out- side is a brilliant dark green and yellow to blend with the natural wood tones. Indoors the rooms are tastefully decorated and each is in archean or Box 811, Terrace Bay exploration MIKE CORRIGAN Geologist # 2433-2700 Aquitaine Ave., Mississauga, Ontario L5N 3J6 geological-geophysical exploration services (416) 826-6262 a different colour scheme."' "The auditorium with its highly arched ceil- ing, has a hardwood floor laid out in a nine- inch square design and has facilities for bad- minton, basketball and volleyball. This audi- torium is serving a dual purpose in Terrace Bay, for it will also double as a recreation centre for the whole community, filling a great need in this rapidly growing town."' Monty Paget, who was MC of the original Opening Ceremonies said from Florida that, "It has taken a lot of effort by a lot of good people to bring the school system to where it is today. It has de- veloped into a much larger and more invol- ved school since the days when it opened."' Mr. Paget praised the contributions of indivi- duals and of Kimberly- Clark to the original con- struction and subse- quent developments of the school. Grade 5 project a real success The Grade S class at the Terrace Bay Public School have produced an impressive twenty-five page History and Chronology of Terrace Bay. The work was part of a project organized by Grade 5 teachers Mrs. D. Pyhtila and Mrs. H. Stortini. The students assembled the history ~ with the assistance of the public library and through interviews with resentatives ot the mill, and residents who were living in Terrace Bay in its early days. Mrs. Pyhtila said, "The townspeople were very helpful. They helped us out throughout the pro- "ject." Instrumental in put- ting the history together was Mr. Stan Hodgkiss, a longtime resident. Mrs. Pyhtila said, "Stan Hodgkiss was of special assistance. He came into the classroom for three morning sessions. He was here at that time. He remembers all those things that took place at the time. He remembers all the people."' The History traces the important events and dates in Terrace Bay's past starting in the fall of 1945 with the original engineering studies on the mill and townsites, through the mill con- struction, recording events like the birth of the first baby, up to the opening of the renovat- ed Recreation Centre in September of 1981. Students who took part in compiling the work include Jason Bailey, Jayleen Bertin, Corinne Bouchie, Shawn Bursey, Tracy Cocker- line, J.J. Davis, Tanya Ditchfield, Denis Doyle, Michael Duhaime, Amy Dunham, Belinda Earle, Fleurette Earle, Aly- son Graham, Tiffany Jowitt, Tara Kraehling, Mark Mannisto, Shannon Moore, Jenni- fer O'Reilly, Cindy Or- lesky, Nicola Pollard, Ricky Pollard, Tawnya Robinson, Cheryl Slaw- son, Tracy Smith, Cindy Sopel, Jamie Speer, Yo- landa van Nes, Wendi Wittaker and Angela Ziegler. ; The purpose of the project was, "so that the students would realize that this town was built by people who those kids cannot really relate with now. The kids got to realize the work that went into the building of the town. They now realize that lots of peo- ple worked very hard to make Terrace Bay what it is." "'The students did the research in the scrap- books at the public li- brary. They all had some aspect to research.
