a charge of: 15 cents a game was
being 'charged by the school to
pupils Who ,wanted to.watch the
football gaMes, He asked the board
what they thought aboot the charge
beings made.
Mr. Hall said that football :was
quite an expensive sport and that
the cost of ecittipthent and. other
items would cost. the school in the
region of $500 for the season. Few
pupils, he stated, stayed away from,
the games because they couldn't
afford the small charge.
After some discuseion on the
matter the board decided that a.
charge was necessary otherwise the,
cost to Subsidize the sPOrt wouldbe
too great. •
