Ms. Broad, who has been vice principal at LCPS for four years, assumes principal duties at Elgin Market Public School, Kincardine, in September. The difference in the two positions, is the "feeling of responsibility you have" says Ms. Broad. She is a strong believer in team Work and collaborative leader- ship., Her motto: "be of service to school and community." Brookside kindergarten teacher will retire "I've just loved it! Can't think of anything else I would .have rather done." Those statements were made by Arlyne McMillen, who retires this June after 37 years in the educational field in Huron County: Currently a kindergarten teacher at Brookside Public School, Mrs. McMillen, a Goderich resident, worked in: many capacities throughout the county during her career. She started out at a one -room. school knowh as S.S. # 1 Goderich Township, where she taught Grades 1 `to 8. During her employmentaa teacher, area resource teacher and teacher/librarian, Mrs. • McMillen says she was associated "mostly with the primary grades." In ad- dition to 13rookside, Mrs. McMillen taught at Robertson,' Colborne, St. Mary's (Goderit;h), Blyth, Hullett, Clinton, GDCI, CSHS, Hohnesville Arlyne McMillen and Victoria. So far Mrs. McMillen has nothing special planned for retirement. She did admit it would be a little dif- ficult to adjust to "not working." While the weather is good, Mrs. McMillenwill have. lots, of time to spend on the golf .course, a game she freely admits to enjoying. Bill Black retires ZURICH - Bill Black, principal at Zurich Public School., retires June 30 after 35 years in education. He still finds his greatest pleasures on the job come from direct classroom teaching. Mr. Black started his • teaching career in Goderich and subsequently taught at Robertson, Kinloss Central, Brussels, Blyth,Belgrave, Colborne, Brookside and Blyth with ' the last five years in Zurich. He obtained both Bachelor's and Mastersdegrees during his career. Keeping up with technological advances. and an ever-changing curriculum direction in recent years has been one of the biggest challen- ges, said Mr. Black. • Mr. Black isn't retiring to a rock- ing .chair. He's active in the Goderich Lions Club, where he resides; . the local Presbyterian Church and hopes to serve in a volunteer capacity for community organizations. All of that,of course, will have to wait until he gets back . from hip planned trip to Alaska next fall. At 65, he still, plays s10 -pitch softball and he is hoping retirement will afford him the chance to get back to his guitar. St. Helen's native retires MITCHELL - After 36 years of teaching,' Marvin McDonald,- a native of St. Helen's, retires this year. The Upper Thames Elementary School teacher started his career in Oxford County at S.S. # 1 Durham, a one -room schoolhouse. He proceeded to teach at S.S. # 2, Hibbert, Mitchell, Dublin, Car- lingford and arrived at Upper Thames when the school opened in January of 1970. One thing Mr. McDonald, now 57, has noticed over the years is in the students. "At fust, they collectively never questioned anything they were taught, but now, you better have a good reason to support the direction because they're going to question you," he said. "It's a more open, challenging society we live in, and it comes from that." . He has many plans after he final- ly walks out the front door at Upper Thames later this week. An out- doorsman who loves to fish, garden and camp, he said he also plans to cook, catch up on his reading and take a lot of day trips, more specifically to the Muskokas in the fall to watch the leaves change color and to visit the sandhills at Port Burwell. He plans to spend a lot of time just a stone's throw from where he was raised, at the family campsite in Auburn on the .Maitland River.- , "It's a little piece of heaven there, and I can't wait." Trivia In the 1992 America's Cup -com- petition, what was the significance of the letters ENZA on the sails of the New Zealand yacht? They stood for Eat New Zealand Apples. The New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board was a sponsor of New Zealand's entry in the prestigious regatta.'
