7 BOX 375 TERRACE B/Y Vol . 13 No. 38 Serving T he District September 17, 1970 COUNCIL QUOTES Town Council resumed their regular meetings after the summer on Tuesday evening with Reeve Cavanaugh in the chair and all councillors present. The first item was a resolution passed to request Bell Canada to install poles on the Lakeview subdivi- sion. From the Department of Highways, a letter stated that Mr. D.A. Jarvis would come to Terrace Bay to discuss the situation of the corner of Hudson Drive and Highway 17. Mr. Ken Taniwa of Marathon, fnfoliied Council that the 24th Annual Convention of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Associaition will be held on October 1, 2 and 3rd in Rainy River. Reeve Cavanaugh will attend. The Recreation Committee made a motion that Brian Montey be accepted as a permanent employee of the Recreation Centre. A letter from Gino Caccamo, on behalf of the Schreiber Hydro Electric Commission, thanked council for the reception and friendship hour held for the O.M.E.A. delegates during their recent tour of Terrace Bay, while holding their convention in Schreiber. District 3, O.M.E.A., requests all utilities in Northwestern Ontario to consider a joint participa=- tion in a Television Public Relations Program "Reach for the Top". Participants in this program would come from all the area high schools in Northwestern Ontario. If accepted by the majority of Commissions it is anticipated that the first program would start sometime this fall, over CKPR-TV. Arrangements will be made with Haquoil Construc- tion to repair numerous excavations made this past summer, including in front of the new fire hall. HIGH SCHOOL ENROLMENT UP A quick check at Terrace Bay's three schools re- veals a decrease in elementary school registrations but a 15% increase in enrolment at the High School . Two hundred and four students vagistared at Terrace Bay Public School. Kindergarten registra= tions are down and as the larger classes in grades seven and eight graduate, officials predict a lower enrolment each year. St. Martin's Separate School had a two hundred and forty-nine enrolment but here too projected figures forsee smaller registrations. One new staff member at St. Martin's School is welcomed to the community. Sister Paulette Hatfield. Originally from Dryden, Sister Paul- ette has taught for the past two years in Sault Ste. Marie. There are many changes this year in Terrace Bay High School, the most significant being the intro- ducation of a credit system. A student now passes or fails on his merits in an individual subject rather than pass or fail a complete year as was the former procedure. This, coupled with a great deal of freedom in option choice, should make Secondary School not only more successful but also more enjoyable. By keeping the school in operation during the noon hour which increases the number of periods by 25%, we have been able to give students con= siderable leeway in option choice. This plays havoc at lunchtime for families with two or more students enroled in the High School but it has meant that students can choose from such subjects as Art, World Politics, Industrual Arts, Mass Media, personal Typing, Consumer Education and Biology, continued page 2 ......... continued page |
