School it is proposed to restore
and improve the running track
and playing field with work to
commence in. 1975 at an
estimated cost of $87,500.
Mr. Cochrane said the present
track was put in initially in 1966
by the former High School Board
and the community of Clinton
with the school responsible for
maintenance of the track.
In discussing the future
construction work Mr. Cochrane
suggested that possibly the board
should consider speeding up the
proposals and plan all the five
programs for building in 1973.

discussing construction with
architect Brian Garratt of
Stratford who told him that
construction costs were
increasing at a rate of 15 per cent
each year. Mr. Garratt said at the
present time construction is
costing about $30 per square foot.
E. C. Hill, Godcrich, board

when they approved the five-year
forecast they were given int trim
approval only and "we arc not
committing ourselves to this
program".

school buses to Clinton Chrysler

on opening day, September 3, for
the 32 schools under the board's
jurisdiction totalled 12,624, up 23
pupils over last year.

greatest increase when some 50
pupils appeared on opening day
who had not been pre-registered
'and were unexpected. To handle
the situation one of the
kindergarten teachers was hired
full time, rather than half days
and another new teacher was
hired.
With one Grade 8 class moved
to a windowless room in the
basement to accommodate the
increased enrolment, the board
authorized Mr. Cochrane to lease
a portable classroom for the
remainder of the 1974-75 year at a
rental of $210 per month plus cost
of installing hydro and water,
