Tom Quinton says the biggest change he's noticed is the impact computers have had on the entire school system. "They've changed every- thing from the administration end of things, right on down to the way teachers prepare work and kids taking courses in computers," he says. Also, Quinton says more of today's students stay in school. "Years ago, we used to have a 30.to 40 per cent drop-out rate in grade 9," he says.

He says that the service award is nice "because not all the years are glorious. But it is nice to have some recognition after all the years of service. "Schreiber and Terrace Bay is one community when it comes to the high school," he says. "And for a teacher that's nice, because you get to follow your students after they leave. I see them graduate from uni- versity, get a job at the mill --whatever they do.

Connor says she began teaching 33 years ago, and has witnessed many changes in the school system since then. "I find that teenagers them- selves have changed radically," she says. "There are quite a few nice teenagers, but today things like vulgar language and lack of respect are much more common. But those changes reflect changes in our whole society. The problems here are small potatoes." Connor says that the stan- dards in the english department at LSHS are such that many graduates find they have a step up on students from other schools.
