• Brookside Public School had a new set of
faces teaching, on October 30. This was a
Professional Development Day planned
jointly by the men and women teachers'
federations. Instead of standing •in •their
usual positions in front of a class, teachers
• from the. Western region. of Huron County
• sat 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 Cunieulum, Bob Mc-
Call, and -primary co-ordinator, Louie
Wilson, 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.

The law as it relates to education has been
changing rapidly. Many teachers were
pleased to have an opportunity to have these
changes explained by Abe Thiesen.
Computersare becoming a common sight
in many schools. Dave Bieman, media
co-ordinator for Huron County, explained
the use of Fomputers in the modern class --
room and then let teachers actually work
with_one. -

Is it really necessary to have a puppet, in
the classroom? According to Fransi 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 have his 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 locally.
Hilly stated he fears the attempt to ice a
• WOAA team in Lucknow will mean the
village will have no intermediate team in the
end.
• The Lancers' demise won't prove an
advantage to the Goderich Sailors, whom
Hill expects will also fold, because Goderich
isn't allowed imports because of their size
unless it is the individual's closest team. For
most former Laneers,- Windham is the

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 season
and continues to the beginning of the next •
when he hands it over to the coach and says,
get the- job done, reniarked 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 Aim to
spend,with his family this winter season and
maybe he'll even get to take his own son to a
few hockey games.
