If a Student Council is es- tablished it will have supervision and jurisdiction over all the stu- dent activities in the school and all the student financial arrange- ments will come through it. Something new is planned in the organization of a House Sys- tern of Competition in Athletics and other activities such as pub- lic speaking. There will he four houses, green, yellow, blue and white. Every student in the school will belong to one of these houses. The physical education depart- ment will be administering the -Please turn to page 16 EVENING COURSES Many parents are concerned about a number of the new courses because they lack knowledge in the new methods. This is par- ticularly true of the change of emphasis in mathematics. Like every other expanding body of knowledge mathematics has had to. find ways and means to teach more in less time. The new approach to mathe- matics is doing this from grade two upward. If enough parents are interested I'm sure that a short night course can be ar- ranged during the winter months to give you some understanding of the new approach. When I mention night courses I am hoping that we can provide as many evening classes as we have space. Late in September an advertisement will suggest some evening courses that will be available if there are at least 15 registrants for each subject. Any other courses could be establish- ed if there is a like number of registrants. More and more adults are realizing the need for additional training or skill for work or lei- sure time. I am prepared to offer our school facilities and the skill of the staff if a sufficient desire is expressed by the pub- lic. Later the new addition will make it possible to add many oth- er technical and manual skills to our evening classes. READ ADVERTISEMENT Last week's headlines about the four portable classrooms brought attention to the over- crowded conditions that exist at South Huron and all the neigh- boring secondary schools. We were fortunate to be able to arrange with Central Huron Sec- ondary School in Clinton on Mon- day for 25 students to enroll there in grade ten of the four- year program of the Science, Technology and Trades Branch. I hope that students and par- ents from the Huron South Dis- trict will read carefully the school's advertisement in today's paper and meet my requests in the best interest of everyone concerned. The more that we can organize before school opens the sooner classes can begin and intense instruction start. For six months the Board and I carefully investigated the dif- ferent ways to cope with our over- crowding. The public reaction to a partial split system of classes spread over a long day was ad- verse. After it was leaned that our new addition would not likely be fully opened until September 1967 the Board realized that ad- ditional space was needed or the split system would have to be increased in September 1966. After investigating the extra cost in transportation and teach- ers, and the disruption of our extra-curricular program such as music, drama and sports over a two year period the Board realized that it would save money and improve the educational fa- cilities by temporary buildings. It is hoped that these four classrooms will be ready by the first full week of school. Until they are finished both gymnas- turns will have to be used for classrooms, STUDENT COUNCIL Some students, have asked me about extra-curricular activi- ties, Now that we are assured of a close to normal school day we can plan to run as many activi- ties as in the past. I would like to have a Student Council in the school to assist me in the opera- tion of student activities and mat- ters of student interest. As soon as the school settles into its regular timetable I will make arrangements for a Student Council if the senior students -Continued from page 13 courses to students and parents. The Board has made provision for expanded services of guidance and more time for individual and group counselling this year and more space in the new addition to the school for guidance counselling and educational and vocational litera- ture. BROADEN KNOWLEDGE Many new subjects are being added tothe curriculum in an effort to meet the individual differences that we find in a school population of about 840 students. The timetable for the year has not been com- pleted yet but every effort is being made to give all students the optional subjects that they wish to take and have selected. This will not be possible in every case because of space, teacher strength and the democratic rule that the majority should benefit over a small minority. Students and parents should not be too disappointed if their wishes fall within this very small minority. In shop work instruction will be given in electrical and electronic theory. In grades nine and ten art is being returned to the curriculum. Also in grade ten Russian and Bookkeeping are new subjects. Home Economics and Business Organization and Management will be offered in grade eleven of the five-year program of the Arts and Science Branch. Business Law will be the commercial option in grade twelve. In the four-year program of the Arts and Science Branch a numb- er of new subjects will be available to students in grades eleven and twelve. These are geography, geology, economics, merchandising, modern literature and world politics. Many of these new courses will broaden the student's knowledge of or permit them to study more intensively specialized areas of knowledge. The new four-year program in all three branches are new to this community and I am hoping that the public will quickly realize their value in helping to give ninety percent of our young people an opportunity to attend secondary school for four years successfully. It will also prepare them better for the working world or advanced courses in a specialized field. BACK TO SCHOOL PERMS Reg. $8.50 Now $6.50 4 1 0% OFF all other perms. Offer good till Sept. 75.
