The electives have ended once
again for this 1974-75 school year.
Therefore the "reporters"
elective has retired as well. This,
however, caused a minor problem
- "Who will take over the writing
of the Howick Grapevine?"
It was finally decided that the
Room 15, Grade Eight students
would be given the job until the
end of the school year. We would
like to thank • the Reporters for
their hard work and fine effort.
