Graham Arthur Motors 1,) ••• ,rapiaaaaasa.,aa..: WNW How large can secondary school grOW before it becomes "too, big"? This question arose at a joint meeting Thursday night of high school laParcla from E Xet e r, Clinton,. Seaforth and Gederieli discussing the future develop merit of vocational education in Huron. The Seaforth delegation ex, pressed the concern, "We won- der about the possibility of the Clinton school becoming too big," said Ed Dearing, Seaforth chairman. "There are some who feel it's big enough now". (Clinton's enrolment now ex- ceeds 1,200). Secondary school inspector D. W. Scott, London, said 1800 was considered a "good size school" because it can offer full diversity of courses and provide the most efficient administra- tion. "There is a great need for diversity because of the growing variety of jobs available to young people," the inspector said. He pointed out that Hamil- ton schools have enrolments of up to 2,400. D. J. Murphy, Goderich trus- tee, felt that size was too large. "I've known people who went to that Hamilton school including teachers who taught there and they've told me they wouldn't go back for love nor money." Another trustee asked at what point a student becomes a num- ber, rather than a name, losing his identity in the size of the unit. Inspector Scott said that was up to the administration. The student in the large school he said, can be made to feel just as important as the one in a small unit, if the teaching staff is well organized. taVc Lock De-icer End' frozen lock annoyance, Easy - to • Use, quick action lock de-icer and lubrication, Just squirt in keyhole - frees frozen, sticking or rust- ed locks in seconds, car gin Or home . .... 2-Piece Snow Tool A real versatile tool.

Guests of the evening were the Young People of the EUB church. The worship service was ta- ken by Jim Neil, Charlie Brown- ing, Elyse Lamport and Kathy Boulianne and followed the Christmas theme. The guest speaker of the even- ing was Mrs. M. C. Fletcher of Exeter who chose as her topic "Making Christmas Chris- tian." VISIT HOME A goodly number of the mem- bers of the Dorcas Band Class of the EUB Church presented a Christmas program for the patients of the Roth Nursing Home last Wednesday even- ing.

M, Guest, Sandra and Dianne Shapton, music pupils of Elaine Powe, have obtained their grade 1 Clinton school, said the addition will gcr ahead as quickly as pos- sible., To date, though, no con- aideration to size has been given and this problem was left en- tirely with the Clinton board. "We expect to have property available", Mr. Maloney said. The lowering of guarantee from 25 to 15% c,f the home schools' enrolment was agreed to at the insistence of Goderich trustee, D. J. Murphy, who maintained that the new agree- ment to keep grade nines at the home schools would decrease by lel the number provided by them to Clinton. This insistence at the first joint board meeting Nov, 26 brought considerable contro- versy but Clinton agreed to it Thursday night amicably. Clin- ton Trustee Irvine Tebbut said his board wished to be reason- able and the only protection it required was one which would guarantee the other schools did not build their own facilities and leave Clinton with more room than it needed. During the discussion, Ken- neth Johns, who headed the Huron South delegation, sugges- ted a 20% figure, which was not acceptable to Goderich. Attending from the HSDHS, in addition to vice-chairman Johns, were W. F. B. MacLaren, Grand Bend; Oscar Grebb, Hay; Jack Morrissey, Stephen, and Garnet Hicks, Usborne. The crisis: CLINTON TO GROW The boards' decision Thurs- day night ensures that Clinton will grow far beyond its present size, although where may be a question since groands there are rapidly being used up. The sending boards agreed to a new formula with Clinton which guarantees that none of them will build their own voca- tional facilities, at least for the next three. years, With unanimous agreement, the sending boards (Huron South, Goderich and Seaforth) will keep their grade nine stu- dents of four-and five-year vo- cational courses in the home schools, transfering them to Clinton at the grade 10 level. This has brought about an adjustment in guarantee which now reads that each sending school agrees to send at least 15% of its total enrolment to Clinton. Previously, the boards agreed to send 25% of their enrolment to Clinton. Clinton itself remains at the 25% level. It was recognized the home school would have a great- er number of vocational stu- dents because of the conve- nience of the facilities. The amendment to the ori- ginal agreement also provides that a review of the arrangement will be made before September, 1967. Meanwhile, the Clinton board has been instructed by the other three to investigate immediate- ly requirements for an addition to the vocational wing. One of the problems here will be space, since the playgrounds of the school already are cramped and the property is surrounded by residences on all four sides. However, L. R.

During the tea hour mystery sisters for 1964 were drawn. Afternoon hostesses were Mrs. R. Finkbeiner, Mrs. Lorne Hodge and Mrs. N. Lamport. What are the projections which have forced changes in the Huron schools' vocational program? Business administrator L. IL Maloney at Clinton provides the statistics given to him by In- spector D, W. Scott. Present enrolment of 1250 at Clinton would have increased to 1606 by 1967 had the program of sending grade nine students in the four and five-year tech- nical courses continued. The projection by year is: 1964 1414 1965 1520 1966 . 1534 1967 1606 The school already is over- crowded not on the basis of total enrolment but because of the swing to vocational courses. Clinton facilities have a capa- city of 1240 and the present enrolment is 1239. The problem arises from the fact that ac- commodation for vocational students is only 570 but the enrolment in those courses al- ready totals 833. This has made necessary the use of the school cafeteria, auditorium, teachers' lounge and caretakers' room for vo- cational classes. Of the 833 students in the vocational courses, 322 are from Clinton, 202 from God- erich, 157 from Exeter (includ- ing 16 from RCAF Centralia), and 112 from Seaforth.
