Sherwood Eddy is the new principal aid mita only one munch of school he's a busy man. But while he's filling out forms and dung adrnutistrau in work, he also haat a watchful eye on his surroundings and is studying the goings on at the school This is Mr. Eddy's first dub as a school principal, and he has many years of teaching and school ad- mirustrauun work to qualify him for the position. Mr. Eddy says Seaforth has always made a good impression on tum and the good reputation of the high school and community gave him a desire to work at the school. "-Ttus is a very responsible position," he said from his new office. "Anything that's going on in the school comes down to me. The staff are excellent at taking respon- sibility and they've worked extra hours while I settle in." The first month on the job Mr. Eddy has assessed and observed the school and received feedback from the staff, community and student groups. "I'm new here. Nobody knows me," said Mr. Eddy. "Student coun- cil may have problems approaching me since I don't teach within the school. I don't know them or their backgrounds. I have staff advisors who'll help outline what students want. I sit in on student council meetings and listen to their con- cerns." FIRST MONTH During his first month Mr. Eddy has helped with the start up of the school year for the high school, the Adult Business Education program, Alternative Education and Adult Education. He has worked on arran- ging Commencement 1990 and the recent Parent's Night. There's ad- ministration work, tons of paper- work, newsletters, reports and the daily running of the school. Huron County has been Mr. Ed- dy's home base for many years and he's held many positions in the county with the Board of Education. His home is in Grand Bend where he lives with his wife and son. He has three boys from a previous marriage as well.

SHERWOOD EDDY oldest son is in university in Philadelphia working on a business degree on a golf scholarship and although he enjoys golf, he finds it does take him away from his studies. Mr. Eddy's second son is in Grade 13 and considering furthering his education at University of Waterloo. The third son is in Grade 10 and was recently interested in architecture. His own children pur- suing higher education proves Mr. Eddy knows something about children and how to guide them into maturity. Golfing is one of Mr. Eddy's pastimes, although he admits his eldest son is much better at the game than he is. Mr. Eddy is in- volved in many ventures in his town and has coached minor baseball and is on the board of his church. This year he left his position on the board of the Huron County Playhouse. With the job in Seaforth he knew he wouldn't have time for the Playhouse. Mr. Eddy has held various positions in education and the longest term was as head of the English department at South Huron District High School in Exeter for 11 years. There he was responsible for the program and helped set up interesting courses. Some of the courses he taught were: mass media, Shakespearean comedies, science fiction, and writing. His favourite course was taught eight years ago and was at the Grade 13 level and on contemporary novels. SELLING LITERATURE "I chose the novels and had to sell literature to the class," remem- bered Mr. Eddy. "The course was easy because I loved the novels. We read The French Lieutenant's Woman, Fifth Business, Surfacing and The Magus. Since there was no secondary course material on these books then, the students relied on their own abilities and used their own evidence to argue their case. The French Lieutenant's Woman has three endings, and that leads to interesting discussions on choices." "Something nice about teaching is watching students grow into mature, independent, sensitive thinkers." After teaching at Exeter Mr. Eddy went to other positions, including being vice principal at F.E. Madill Secondary School, Wingham, and two years as vice principal back at South Huron. One interesting position he held was vice principal at the high school at the Bluewater Centre for Young Offenders. "The school was three -years -old when I started," recalled Mr. Eddy. "The school was an interesting concept in that it tried to help students there get an education so they can have choices in their future. The Centre is for children who have broken the law, for example, assaults or breaking and entering. There was an enhanced security area for children who com- mitted the most serious crimes, and I worked with them, too." "We had some interesting programs that were helpful and serious attempts to help the children. They children came from the triangle bctwoca owes Sound, Kitchener -Waterloo and W ind ui Being from a ral area made 11 easy for the childrai o get to and from the school when they had leave for weekends. Often they would come from outside the triangle if other facilities were full." -We got w iusow some of thou patents, dcpenduig on the parent's wish for involvement. The children dare to us for anywhere from one Math to three years. Our school offered courses from Grade nine to Grade 13 and we took the student wherever they were in the education system. We indi v iduahzcd the strut ture and adapted It to the student so they could get credits. Some of them were keen on getung their credits, and some were not. They had other problems as well, such as alcohol, drugs, or emotional problems. We've received letters from some of them who have graduated and found work, or went on to regular high school, or went to community college." "Many of the children were from Indian reserves. The ratio of Indian to other children was higher. The reserve system, in my opinion, is not a lifestyle that has been suc- cessful to native populations. Often the Indian children's art was dif- ferent and full of native styles, I think as a need to express themsel- ves. The type of education system we had at the Centre helped some of them be successful in school. It was another experience in teaching which is an important experience for teachers, or someone who wants to be a principal." SEVERAL MOVES Mr. Eddy has had an unsettled life himself. His father was a United Church minister and moved from church to church. Mr. Eddy attributes this practice to the church not wanting the ministers to become complacent and instead to broaden the minster's experiences. Every four or five years the family moved to a new community. Mr. Eddy was born in Hagersville, and when he was in his last year of high school he was in Galt. He spent the major portion of high school in Thornhill, near Toronto, and he says that moving around so much was a reality he just had to deal with. After high school Mr. Eddy went on to Western University in London and graduated in 1964 with an honours degree in English and Philosophy. In 1968 he completed his master's degree in Philosophy. p.;ck then, teachers attended Teacher's College for three sum- mers and taught through the school year and Mr. Eddy taught at the high school level then. Seaforth High School has about 350 students and 25 staff. To Mr. Eddy that makes for a smaller school. He hopes to be able to offer a breadth of programs and satisfy the needs of the students of a small school. He also hopes the com- munity continues to be involved with the high school and feel com- fortable in calling the school. When asked about his plans for Seaforth High School, Mr. Eddy says, "Ask me in a year." Lions sponsor ice time for local teens Seaforth Teens will have free public skating on Saturday nights, thanks to the generosity of the local Lions Club. The Seaforth Lions have agreed to finance the Teen Skate beginning Saturday, Novem- ber 3. "The whole idea is to give the kids something to with their friends, without their parents and little brothers and sisters being around," said organizers. "Street corners are cold during winter." The Saturday skate will run from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m., although the hours will vary slightly on tour- nament dates, and is open to kids aged 13 to 19 years only. Kids are encouraged to bring their own tapes to play on the arena sound system. "The time frame is mid -evening to later which still gets them (the kids) home by 11-11:30 p.m. - late enough to keep the kids happy but not past midnight so mom and dad aren't pacing the floor," commented Arena Manager Graham Nesbitt, adding that on tournament dates and special nights skating times will be pushed back a little, resulting in "moonlihgt skates". "All in all the Lions Club is simply trying to provide Seaforth's teenagers with a safe, clean and Healthy meeting place, so they can have a little fun and enjoyment with LIONS PAY FOR FREE TEEN SKATING - Graham Nesbitt, Seaforth arena manager, accepts a cheque from the Lions Club to sponsor free teen skating Saturday nights.

"The Seaforth Lions Club hopes the local teenagers take advantage of this very worthwhile project as the youth groups arc thc future of this community." 7 nen skates will be advertised in Grade 8 classes at the elementary schools, at the high school, on the electronic message board at the arena, in the community calendar column in thc newspaper, as well as on the free public skating flyer which will be distributed at` all the schools.
