OO BEK RRA ig Xiy "THE OWL'S HOOT" The Athletic Association On October Ist, the first meeting of the House League executive was held. Presiding over the meet- ing was Stanley Spadoni, president; assisted by Mr. Penner, counsellor, David Bromely, vice president and Mary Speziale, secretary. Other executive mem bers are the leaders from the following houses: Ottawa, Iroquois, Mohawk and Canuck. Decided during this meeting were the different activities for the house league in order to involve all the members of each house. Some of these activi ties, which will be held mainly after school between 3.40 - 6.00 p.m., are football for the boys, speed- ball for the girls, basketball, volleyball and badmin- ton for both'. Two houses will play each other with the leaders of the other two houses refereeing. This way there is no problem in finding referees. The Athletic Association feels that with the co-op- eration of the student body, this will be a very ex- citing year in the field of sports at Schreiber High School . Meet Your Teacher 2, 'ee Mr. Chyril, who teaches Latin, Eng- lish and Library at Schreiber High School, was born in Haltern, Germany . He attended elemen- tary school at Og- den and St. Petes' Separate School in Fort William. He began his high schoo education at St. Vladimirs College in koblin, Manitoba, later returning to Fort William to complete his secon- dary grades in St. Patrich's High School and Fort William Collegiate. He then graduated into Lake- head University where he received his B.A. Mr. Chyril was attracted to Schreiber because he thought he had the opportunity to teach the subject of his choice, being Latin. This is his second year teaching at Schreiber High School and in his works "likes it very much" We are ' pleased to have Mr. Chyril on the staff and hope Q DA =v he will return again next year. Reports at Schreiber High School Next.week students at Schreiber High School will receive their first reports for the 1968-69 school year Four will be issued during the school year: October, January, April and June. The October and April report marks will be based on: day-to-day work, projects, notes and period tests. The marks recorded in January and June will be determined by the above mentioned plus a sched- uled examination. There is a de-emphasis in many parts of Ontario on scheduled examinations. It is believed that the day-to-day evaluation is a fairer and more accurate means of determining a student's progress in a certain subject. At our school the weighting of term work mark to scheduled examination mark is 5:3. The significance of this system to the student is: that a greater emphasis is being placed on daily homework,study, notes, and projects; his promotion is being determined more directly on a day-to-day ' basis rather than at the "pressured" examination per- iods. If he is to achieve, it must be on a day-to-da basis. After all, isn't this the story of life? Students who meet certain superior standards dur- ing the school year may be recommended on the year's work in particular subjects. These students will only be writing the one scheduled examination i.e. the winter examination. A parent's night will be held in November at Schreiber High School. Here the parents will have the opportunity to meet the teachers and discuss ways of improving their son or daughter's progress in their subjects. Athletic Association Executive (Cont'd on page 12)
