SEPTEMEER 24, 1970 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 11 "THE OWL'S HOOT" THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Never judge a man by what he says; try and find out why he said it. ONTARIO ATHLETIC LEADERSHIP CAMP The first day of camp, registration occurred and we were given an opportunity to look around. The camp is divided into two groups, Hillside and Lakeside. Hillside cabins are on a small cliff a- bout fifteen feet high overlooking the Lakeside cabins. The Lakeside Cabins were built when the camp started years ago, until it expanded by ad- ding the Hillside Cabins. The camp has an upper field which consists of a combined basketbell- volleyball court and a track. The lower field has a track, gymnastics field and field house. They also have two tennis courts on the camp ground. Teachers are from various schools and gave ex- cellent drills in the various sports. | enrolled in basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, badminton and swimming. Clinics were held on nine of the four- teen days | was there and new techniques on the i "organization of tournaments were taught . It was a lot of fun attending this camp, and an extremely worthwhile experience. Michael Spadoni LEADERSHIP CAMP Lake Couchiching is designed to develop leader- ship qualities and physical ability.

These usually were an hour long and we had three a day. These classes were under the organization of two student leaders, and involved students from two cabins. We dis- cussed matters pertaining to school, and planned tournaments for volleyball, basketball, etc. Camp was a lot of fun, but a lot of hard work too. Beverley Hamilton. VOLUNTARY ATTENDANCE During the 1969-70 school year, voluntary at- tendance was successfully operated at Schreiber High School. On September 2Ist, 1970, all fifth year students will have the opportunity to enrol in such a system. The advantages of this system are reported to be as follows: students are oble to make meaningful daily decisions regarding personal use of time; stu- dents are happier in those periods in which they do attend as they are there of their own choice. The disadvantages are: an irresponsible student's per- formance may decrease due to the lack of external pressure; an irresponsible student may have more time to become involved in activities which are de- trimental to his wel i-being. Attendance records will be maintained. This in- formation will be available to students, parents, registrars and prospective employers. If, at any time it would appear that it would be in the student's best interest to alter the system, it will be done. If a parent wishes to change his posi- tion on voluntary attendance, this can be effected by informing the principal in writing.
