The first meeting of the new term for the Wingham District High School Beard was held at the school on Thursday evening of last week. A number of letters to the 'board were read by, the see- rotary, Miss Y. McPherson, These included notes of thanks From Mary Hamilton, who attended the U.N. Seminar; Karen Elliott, who attended the Ontario Athletic Camp and Cadet Major Barry Ful- ler who had attended the cadet camp at Banff. All had received small grants from the board. A letter from the Ontario Hydro Commission stated that new ap- pliances would be placed in the home economics room by the Corn- Mission. Routine motions were approved covering minutes of the last meet- ing and the payment of accounts. The inspector's report was read to the board. It complimented the organization on the operation of the school and the maintenance of the property. Replies from other district schools regarding children attend- ing the Wingham school, who re, side in areas administered by oth- er boards, were read. All stated that no tuition would be paid to the Wingham board for these stu- dents, with the exception of one from the Clinton district, In an- other Case the secretary, was in- structed to write to Lucknow, as one student from that area is re- ceiving instruction not available at the Lucknow school. Following this report the board decided that no new students will be accepted who do not reside in the Wingham area. Outside stu- dents who have been attending will be allowed to finish their courses. The board also agreed to hold a board-staff meeting in order to meet new staff members. In connection with insurance on the school, the board agreed to transfer Its insurance to the Wil- liam Conron Agency, which has purchaseed the Scott Agency, with whom the insurance had been orig- inally placed, The board did not, however, agree to a suggestion from Mr. Conron that an insur- ance survey be made, as this had been done not too long ago, POlice Chief James Miller was appointed attendance officer, re- placing the late Gordon Deyeli. The principal, F. E. Madill, re- ported that 720 students had regis- tered for the fall term, some 23 more than had appeared in the estimates. He said the school is now running at near capacity, with all rooms in use. Six new mem- bers joined the staff. The principal requested an extra $100 to be used to supplement the budget for French books, which will be us&l as supplementary read- ing. The board agreed to the re- quest. In speaking of the Grade 13 re- sults, the principal said that the .70 per cent average Was not as high as had been hoped. However, he explained that the average was lower than anticipated, as a num- ber of students writing Grade 13 were also writing papers in Grade 12, The board alsO agreed to the principal's request for more shelv- ing in the library, and to the pur- chase of a micro-projector for the science classes. At the same time approval was given •to a number of text books. being used, by the school. Board member R. S. Hethering- ton reported that the playing field' would require attention and said that a committee meeting had been held and the work surveyed. He indicated that a consulting en-- gineer would go over •the project. but it appeared that the playing field would require top soil and considerable grading and gravel- ing would be needed in the park- ing lot. He also suggested the widening of the roadway at the rear of the school. Indications are that the project would cost in the neigh borhood of $8,000. A special meet- ing will be called to settle the mat- ter before the end of the month. Other reports informed the board that the public address system has' been, improved in the auditorium Before adjournment a few minor problems in connection with trans, pottaticin were discussed. Rec.

One girl suffered a sprained ankle when shoved from the raft and several cut feet were patched up by the life guards. They also made ten rescues, all of these being children 8 years and Under, in the shallow end of the pool. It was because of these children constantly getting into difficulty that those eight and un- der were not allowed in the pool unless accompanied by a respon- sible older person 'during the lat- ter part of the season.
