Brookside Public School had a newset of
faces teaching on OctoPer .30. This was a
Professional, Development ' Day planned -
,jointly by the men and women teachers'
federations. Instead of standing in their
usual positionsin front of a class, teachers
from the Western , region of Huron County
eat in the desks.:
Practical ideas in the -.areas of : reading,
writing, arithmetic, computers, law and
puppetry were offered.
Paul Carroll, principal, of Seaforth Public
School, outlined the theory and operation of
an
individualized program in reading. He
• stressed that its success depended on the
co-operative effort of teachers, ` principal,
parents' and community resources.
•
Superintendent of Curriculum, .Bob Mc-
Call, ' and primary. co-ordinator, Louise
Witson, ` presented a workshop on math .
games. All those who took part in this
session.! left with many practical -games' that
could:be put into practice immediately.
c
The lawas it relates to education has been
changing . rapidly, Many teachers were•
pleased to have an opportunity to have these
changes explained by Abe Thiesen:
Computers are becoming a : common sight
in many .schools. Dave Bieman, , media
co-ordinator for Huron County, explained
the use of computers in the modern class
room and then let teachers actually work
with one.
(This topic always excites those who
particpate in the potential benefit a
computer has for• the child.)
Is it really necessary to have a puppet in
the classroom?, According to .Frani Anders-
son, an artist in residence for York County
Board of Education, the uses of a hand
puppet are so numerous that every child.
should havehis own. During 'the workshop,
teachers made a puppet and put it to work in
a short skit.
An art display, giving teachers many
creative ideas, helped to round out a day
filled with practical and useable ideas.

the .Lancers directly, observed Hill. ' He said
there are some hard feelings about out of
. town players on the Lancer team," but you
have to have these players to be competitive
and people won't come out to see a team that
loses." •
Hill said he wished -the people organizing
the new team had called a meeting with the.
Lancer organization to table the topic for
• discussion. He said he was :embarrassed to
- learn there was going to be a WOAA -team in
town at an OHA meeting instead of being
informed • focally:.
Hill stated he fears the attemptto ice a
WOAA team . in. Lucknow will mean the
village will have no intermediate team in the
e
The Lancers' demise won't prove an
advantage to the Goderich. Sailors, whom
Hill expects wili.also fold, because Goderich
isn't :allowed imports because of their size
unless it is the individual's closest team. For.
most . former Lancers, Wingham is the
cera
closest team, not Goderich, and:many will
not be able to play for the Sailors.
Playoff Contenders
Hill refuses to take the . credit for the
teams' progress during the seasons he
coached. He believes the manager, Kevin
Austin did ' 90 per cent of the work A
manager's job starts at the end of one seajson
and continues to the beginning of the next
when he hands it over to the coach and says,.
get the- job' done;. remarked Hill. .
It is . his opinion that the ,: Lancers moved
from the bottom position in the league to
near the top.and became play off contenders
because their manager had done, his home-
work. •
Hill said he is disappointed he won't be
involved with the team . this .year.. He's a
.hockey fanatic and guesses it takes that to
give your time and energy to coaching. or
managing a team.
But he supposes he'll have more time to
spend,with his family this winter season and
maybe he'll even.get to take his own son to a
few hockey games.
