New Time System
A new time system has been
started at CCI by which pupils
have a 45 -minute period before
the buses leave at four -ten. Sev-
eral activities have been schedul-
ed for the benefit of the pupils,
basketball being the present
interest. On Mondays end Thurs-
days, the girls will have the use
of the gym for basketball prac-
tice, This practice willbe not
only for the team, but for all
who are interested in the game.
In this way, the younger girls
will learn the game, while the
team gets more practice in for
the WOSSA genres.
Teams will be formed for the
girls, in which all will take part;
also volley ball and ping pang
tournaments will be worked out
to fill inthe remaining time.
So, if the townpeople wonder
why the school pupils are rush-
ing around town at noon hours,
here's the answer—we have to be
back at school at five to one,
when classes start.
This new schedule is only a
trial, the purpose of it being to
give the country pupils an op-
portunity to take part in the
sports programme,

' 'It was pointed out tont Ranee
County Council, at its fall ser..

In this respect, it is unique and'
