Mr. W. J. McKenzie, Miss Neva Sine, and Mr. Austin Mitchell. Each of these teachers had secured desirable posi- tions elsewhere. Mr. McKenzie goes to the Western School of Commerce, Toronto; Miss Sine goes to the High School at Tilsonburg; Mr. Mitchell has a position on the teaching staff of the Toronto Public Schools, Of course there was nothing for the Board of Education to do but accept the resignations; but added this note to the motion of acceptance--"that the Port Perry Board of Education regrets gly the ity of releaSing these excellent teachers." All these teachers have 'given ex- cellent service, and it is a distinct loss to the school that they are leaving. Of course the teachers are not to'be] blamed for bettering their lot; atid 'in each case there has been a step for- ward, and 'considerable increase in salary in at least two instances. Increases in salary were made to the remaining teachers on the High School staff--$50 to Miss Harris; $100 to Miss Sandy; and $50 to Mr. Gem- mel. Mr. Marshall Malcolm made appli- cation to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Mitchell. He asked a salary of $1200 per annum. No action was taken, and the secretary was instructed to advertise for teach- ers to fill this position, and that made vacant by Miss Sine, Several applications were read for the position of Principal of the High School, and the choice 'was made of Mr. E. Gale, now Principal of the instruction from the Board the chair- man of the management committee, telephoned to Mr. Gale on Wednesday, and he accepted the position at a salary of $2900. Mr. Gale was very highly , recom- mended both by the officials of the Department of Education, and by those who know of his work jn Markham.

SARTRE 117 NAY HIGH SCHOOL NOTES On Monday, May 6th, Uxbridge high school softball team cave over for the first game of the season. It ended in a smashing success for Port Perry. Whoopee! At last we've beaten our old rivals at softball. The score was 8-83 in our faveur. Sam Masters and Tom Harris put up a snappy battery, and the rest of the team played splendidly. Bert Colla- cutt made several very fine catches, and Lloyd Rundle's bunting had Ux- bridge up in the air. This success spells a good start for the softball season. Here's hoping we keep up the good work. A back-stop is going to be erected for the use of the softball teams. This will make the games a great deal faster, and will save the catcher many unnessary steps. Cadet Inspection took place on Thursday, May 2nd.
