T-A photo GB council expects change The weatherman with his tons and tons of fluffy white stuff played havoc Friday with the Huron County Board of Education's hopes to interview applicants for the position of ^„. business administrator. 6 Director of Education John Cochrane told the T-A Tuesday, "We were snowed in and snowed n. out." Cochrane did add that the interviews will be held this Friday evening. If a decision is • reached, the successful applicant will be named at Monday's board meeting to be held in Seaforth. The director of education ,^ advised he did not know how ;:long it would be before the e' county b oard of education • established a permanent office. The board has been wooed to date by officials in Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth, all with • : valid reasons why their town . should be education headquarters for Huron, Temporarily situated in an office in the court house, it is understood that one proposal has been to house the board of 4 education on the top floor of • the new assessment building in • Goderich. • Clinton town council entertained the board in the • former nurses' residence built in 1955 to house about 20 nurses. The board of Clinton Public . Hospital has made it known that • . • "all or any part" of the building is available to the new board. • The school board was told that the hospital owns adjoining property with potential parking space for 40 or 50 cars. • It is not known at time of writing where the board will be • held in Seaforth Monday, but town council there has said Seaforth is the logical sight for the county education offices since it is likely that Perth and • Huron counties will be united under a single regional overnment sometime in the ;74 future. • Three proposals were made • for board offices in Seaforth: (1) a temporary location in an unused factory building available for one year: (2) several individuals are said to be willing to build and rent office; (3) the board could build its own office on a 19-acre lot adjacent to the Seaforth District High School. Robert Elliott of Goderich Township, vice-chairman of the new board, voiced the hope that the board will reach a decision and set up a permanent office soon. In the meantime, the new board has asked former local boards to serve as committees of the Huron County Board of Education until June 30. The role of the committees will be to handle day-to-day • operation of the schools until the county staff is in a position to take over and assist with budgets and other planning. The committee's powers are limited and leave all policy decisions, capital expenditures and other major responsibilities • in the hands of the county panel.

This type of programme will be a new experience for many of the students involved and it should prove to be an interesting educational advancement. * * * The Drama Club will be presenting its selection of one act plays within the next two months. It is hoped that with much pre-performance publicity, the Drama Night will prove to be an even greater success than ever before. * * * French teachers at the high school are in the process of arranging an exciting February weekend for Grade 12 and 13 French students. The destination is to be Quebec City at Winter Carnival time. In past years, trips to Quebec City have been very successful. The annual spring formal at South Huron will be held earlier than usual in 1969. Social Convener Linda Bourne has already called a meeting for any students interested in developing a suitable theme and/or decorating for the March 7th formal. The decorating committee is a highly imaginative and skilled group of people who have never failed to produce an inspired transformation in the old gymnasium each year. * * * The Travel Club is convening once again this week and South Huron travel bugs are asked to have their $25 deposits in the hands of the executive by Friday. The trip is tentatively scheduled for New York. A group of 40 persons is required for the trip and the executive revealed that, as of Tuesday, ten persons were lacking.

Rut this is a small price to pay for the quality of yearbook our staff has previously produced, * * The June examinations commence June 16, thus lengthening the school term much to the consternation of many secondary school students all over Ontario. However other changes have been introduced Which serve as welcome compensation, There are two formal sets of exams in December and March and possible exemption from writing in June is offered. The exemption standard has been altered slightly, and in most cases the required subject average is 55. The student must write the June exam if, in the opinion of his teacher, his progress in that subject is questionable. Therefore the decision will rest with the teacher and it has been stressed that attitude in class and term work are extremely important in the final analysis. W.f• of office and Rev. J.W.

More beauty at town park Salaries was one of the topics discussed at Monday's opening meeting of RAP for the year 1969.
