He was an actor who got involved in drama, an athletic outdoors man who<br />

loved hiking <strong>and</strong> skiing, a man who believed in participation <strong>and</strong> was ready<br />

to coach a ‘C’ team that just wanted to play. With Mr. Veno having a background<br />

in physical education, activities at the school proliferated. Ski Club<br />

became a school fixture. Ski Crew [1988] were the trained helpers <strong>and</strong><br />

instructors. They worked with the students who were bussed regularly to<br />

Martock. A decade of students were introduced to skiing at Martock<br />

Administrators of the 1990s<br />

As Mr. Veno <strong>and</strong> Mr. Anderson moved on, administrators were appointed with<br />

elementary school background, or in the case of Gerry Goodine, guidance.<br />

Peter C. Oickle, the principal (above right), who arrived in 1993, had been the<br />

<strong>School</strong> Board’s Elementary Curriculum Supervisor <strong>and</strong> Gerald C. Goodine<br />

(above left), appointed in 1994, had been the long-time guidance counsellor<br />

at Lunenburg Junior-Senior High. They brought a different kind of focus to<br />

the school. Mr. Goodine stayed for two years before moving to New Germany,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Mr. Oickle was at <strong>Mahone</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> until 1996.<br />
