A teacher's magazine, "The In- structor" was procured and is be- ing shared by the ReacH Teachers. The-fifteen members present an- swered the Roll Call by offering "A helpful classroom hint." An open discussion followed on a new type of report card -- the type wherein the letters "0", "8%, "U" are used to represent "Out- standing", "Satisfactory", and Un- satisfactory," respectively. It was felt that this type of card were sometimes misinterpreted by the parents and occasionally baffled the pupils concerned. On this type of card, each pupil is rated according to his own ability and his own educational possibilities. it follows that a pupil who makes a mark of "60" on an examination may be marked "S" if the teacher feels he is putting forth his best effort. On the other hand, an- other pupil who makes "76" in that same subject may be marked "U" if the teacher feels that he is capable of making "90". It is readily understood how either of . the pupils might become confused. ' However, the purpose behind this type of card is to encourage the st pupil by crediting him for best efforts and to challenge he second pupil to display his best effort. 3 The pupils of Manchester school entertained the group by several delightful numbers: A choral Reading, under the guidance of Mrs. Samells, and by their sing- ing "Oh, Dear What Can the Mat- ter Be?" and "Lightly Row" di- rected by Mrs. Grace Hastings. This was followed by the presen- tation of gymnastics to music. The group' was then favoured by two piano duets by Misses Jean and Donna Samells, = Heri Later Mr. Cornish showed col-- oured pictures of his trip West. These pictures, together with Mr. ~Cornish's commentary thre he showing were most informa. tive as well as entertaining. uvenile At the conclusion of the meet- ing a most delectable lunch was served by Mrs. Samells and her as- -gisting committtee. The group greatly missed the presence of their inspector, Mr. H. Knight. ; Reach Teachers next meeting will be held on Thursday, March 6th, at the Yellow School at 2.00 p.m ; ~ Library News PORT PERRY PUBLIC LIBRARY Report of circulation of books for : ~ 1961.

'Double Victory 'from Sutton ' PORT PERRY IN DOUBLE { VICTORY OVER SUTTON i J Port Perry Juveniles took the measure of their O.M.H.A. rivals from Sutton in a pair of home- and-home contests on Thursday & Friday evenings of the past week, downing the Sutton lads 10-6 at Sutton and 5-8 on their home ice. While the first game on Sutton ice was fairly even from a standpoint of territorial play the Friday en- gagement in the Port Perry Mem- orial Gardens was dominated by | the Port sextet, and only some fine puck-stopping by Peter Hut- {chins in the opponents' cage, kept the tally down to 5-3 in favour of the home crew. At Sutton the game was less than two minutes old, when Bill DeGeer of Sutton opened the scor- ing as he _got the first of five tal- lies he picked up over the even- ing's play. But before the period closed . Gibson, "Harry VanCamp and Cochrane tallied without a re- ply from Sutton to give the visit- ors from Port Perry a 3-1 lead to carry into the second stanza. In the second period the Port sextet scored three to the hom- sters two, Gibson getting two, while Cochrane had one, with Wit- ney and DeGeer of Sutton regist- ering singles. This brought the second period score to 6-3 for Port Perry. By the midway mark in the final stanza the visitors had raised the score to 9-3 and it appeared that the game would develop into a lopsided effort but at_the thirteen minute mark the Sutton aggrega- tion caught fire and rapped home three close-in tries with free- wheeling DeGeer petting the trio and the game was a 9-6 contest. Just when it appeared that the home crew might make it still closer Bill Gibson (who had tallied earlier in the period and set up two for Cochrane in the same stanza) got his fifth marker with about one minute left to play; this ended the scoring and the Port Perry lads had a 10-6 triumph written into the records. On the following night the Port Juveniles played host to the Sut- ton lads in a game which turned out to be a much closer tussle than had been anticipated. The home sextet opened the scoring carly, after two minutes of play as Pallock swept in to beat Hut- chins in the Sutton cage. Minutes later, Cransberry tallied twice, the first one being set-up by De- Geer, while the second tally was unassisted. Before the period was half over, DeGeer had swept down the boards to blast a difficult an- gle shot past Owen and the visit- ors had taken a 3-1 lead. Pallock cut lead to 3-2, when he registered his second tally for Port Perry at 10.35. The score remained at 8-2 in favour of Sutton until the 5.30 mark of the second stanza, when Harry VanCamp blasted a long, low shot that eluded Hutchins and tied the contest at 3 all. That was all the scoring for the session which was a close-checking battle for the remainder of the period in which Hutchins, in the visitors' cage came up with some terrific tops that had the Port forwards baffled time after time. Owen in the local cage, although off to a poor start made some fine saves on the visitors and in this period and the period that followed, stop- ped everything that the_ visitors | threw at him. In the third twenty minute ses- sion, the visitors were hemmed in their own end for the first five minutes but Hutchins was invine- ible and the terrific pressure put- on by Gibson and Cochrane went for no gain. However, Harry Van- Camp came up with what turned out to be the deciding counter of the game as he rifled home a low, sizzling, blue-line drive at the 8.47 mark on which Hutchins had his vision blocked by a maise of players in front of his cage. A minute later Cochrane ockey - Little Britain of Port Perry took a pass from 1 \ Roy Werry, Stuart and Dalton Gibson to raise 'the score to 5-8 for the home lads, = This actually concluded the scoring despite the fact that both teams came up with dome fine rushes. Owen and Hutchins in opposing cages rose to the occasion with Owen in the locals net having held his Sutton pucksters off the score sheet from the 10° minute mark of the first period. The last ten minutes of the game was marred by numer- ous penalties with DeGeer of Sut- ton registering two minors which had to be delayed as he found two of his team mates already sitting it out when he arrived in the cooler. For the losers Hutchins was a standout while DeGeer and Crans- berry came up with some fine puck-carrying especially in the first period. For the locals Van- Camp on rearguard. duty played his regular strong defensive game but also contributed the tying and winning goals on the attack. Gib- son, Cochrane and Pallock were al- so key men 'in the home team's victory. Port Perry -- goal, Owen; de- fense, Rennie, G. VanCamp; cen- tre, K.

W. Hutton, United Church, Blackstock, and Mr. H. McComb, Nestleton Presbyterian Church. A shoit service at the Beacok home was followed by ser- vice in the United Church, Black- stock.
