Three heads are better than one. At least that
seemed to be the rule Saturday as over 600 cubs,
scouts, beavers and venturers gathered at Falls
Reserve Conservation Area. The boys endured a
heavy rainfall Friday and Saturday participated in
a series of events including a campfire lighting
contest. Here, three boys work hard at getting a fire
going. (photo by Dave Sykes)

tudents pr test demise
w '
econd English course
BY CATH WOODEN
A large delegation
attended the regular June
2 meeting of the Huron
County Board of
Education to protest'at'he
elimination of the second
Grade 13 English course
at Central Huron.
Secondary School in
Clinton.
The board passed a
motion that encourages
the principal at CHSS to
offer the English 551
course if a teacher
volunteers to accept an
overload in his timetable
as a result of the
delegation's requests.
In an address to the
board, Jack Holmes, a
parent of a CHSS student,
complained .' that ."the
credit system has fun-
neled certain students. so
as to make it vital for
another english course at
the year five level. If they
had been told before
Grade 12, they could have
planned alternatives."
Philip Street,, a third
year student at the
University of Toronto and
a former student at
CHSS, told the board that
the course has proven
"invaluable" in his
English studies at
university. He reminded
the board that there are
three maths and three
sciences offered at the

year five level and that
they are also necessary.
"Two English courses
are scarcely enough as it
is, and ' I feel that the
elimination of English 551
at CHSS is a
discrimination against
students who wish to take
it," Street stated. English
551 is a course that deals
specifically with
Canadian and American
literature and is not a
requirement for
university entrance.
Director D.J. Cochrane
said he sympathized with
the delegation, but that
"we're looking at teacher
loading here and contract
problems—The only way it
can be done isy hiring a
half time teacher at
CHSS.
"I realize that there are
some ' doors closed to
some students based on
past decisions," he
shrugged.
During the board
meeting recess, the
Education Committee
met and returned with
the recommendation that
the course should be
offered if a teacher can.
be found to accept the
additional course.
The same kind . of
problem was encountered
at South Huron Secon-
dary , S: oo1 in Exeter
when the Latin 350 course'
