William Conron addressed
the board, regarding several
forms of accident insurance.
The matter was left in the
hands of the insurance commit-
tee
ommittee for further study.
In his report to the board
Principal Madill said the in-
spector would be willing to
meet with board members on
April 30th.
Dates for a parents' night in
May have not been set, but the
board approved the principal's
suggestion that a three -eve-
ning session for parents of Grade
8 children be held again this
year.
Due to the fact that the new
addition to the school will not
be completed until the fall,
the board deferred open house
which has been held during
May in past years, until a fall
pallbearers were Bill King,
Gordon Robinson, Howard Walk-
er, John McCormick, Donald
McCormick and Lloyd Dawson.
The floral tributes were carried
by three nephews, Ross Keith,
Joe Nicholson and Clarence
Bishop.
Resign at HS
date.
Mr. Madill reported that
average attendance during
March had been 692 or 92.58
per cent of enrolment, The
per centage was down some-
what, he said. due to a con-
siderable account of student
illness.
ADVISORY BOARD
The vocational advisory
board met preceding the regu-
lar board meeting and approv-
ed the purchase of a number of
items for the various shops,
with an estimated value of
83, 500.00.
The group also recommend-
ed approval to the board, of
the hiring of several teachers
as explained by the principal.
Mr. Madill reported that three
positions were still vacant, but
negotiations with several tea-
chers were going on.
A floorwalker tired of his
job gave it up and joined the
police force. Several months
later his friend asked him how
he liked being a policeman.
"Well," he replied, "the
pay and hours are only fair, but
one thing I like—the customer
is always wrong."
