W. Scott, London, secondary school in- spector for the area, attended the last AVC meeting, discuss- ing the proposed extension. "Action should be taken," said Mr, Scott. "td relieve con- jestion to the vocational area of the school."

"The De- partment of Education will not entertgin consideration for pro - v isif for student population beyond five years," said Mr. Soots, adding that he noted that the projected figure for Clin- ton, alone, in 1970 was 1050. The projected figure for all schools concerned, that is, Sea - forth, Goderich, Exeter and Clinton, is 1337. Mr. Scott said that by using the 1337 figure the school, being vocational, could again be imbalaneed. He said that he felt that the De- partment would accept a pro- visioned figure for around the 1400-1500 mark. Mr. Scott said that it would "get his blessing" for an extension based on fur- ther study and on figures pre- sented at a further meeting. He told the AVC that it was fortunate that Exeter was build- ing a vocational addition, and that Goderich was adding com- mercial at its school, for that in years to come Clinton could have been too large. Enrolment 1250 Enrolment at the' Central Huron Secondary School, ac- cording to Principal D. J. Coch- rane, was 1250, as of Septem- ber 30. the same as that on opening day. The average daily attendance was 97.82%. Break- ing down the total enrolment, there are a total of 707 stu.1 dents attending the school from Clinton (379 of whom are boys •and 348 girls); 89 pupils from the Clinton RCAF Station (36 boys and 53 girls); 151 from .Goderich (100 boys,' 51 girls); 137 from Seaforth (77 boys' and 60 girls); 135 from Exeter (71 boys, 64 girls); 10 from RCAF Centralia (three boys, seven girls). The board gave approval, for the introduction of a new hook, "Basic Retailing," as the text hook in the merchandising course. Regulations for secon- dary schools now require the school board's authorization for the introduction of new text books. The board approved•the trans- fer of Mrs. Gertrude Trewartha as 'a part-time employee to the permanent- staff. Mrs. Trewar- tha works part time in the guid- ance department and part time in the library. Approval was al- so granted to the school's guid- ance counsellors, Mrs. Roxanne Brown, Mrs. Andrew Whetham, Charles Gates and Gordon Smith to attend the annual University of Western Ontario Guidance Conference;.,,London, Oct, 23. The guest speaker, the Hon. William Davis, Ontario's Minis-' ter of Education, will speak on the new Grade XIII program. Authorization was also given to the school's history department to conduct a tour, October 30, to Toronto for approximately 60 outstanding history students. Cost to the board will include transportation of pupils to and from Stratford, Where they will board a train. Cost to each pu- pil will be $9. - Those eligible will be deter- mined on the basis of the mid- term progress report, which was issued Oct. 16. The tour will take in the Royal Ontario Museum, Parliament Buildings, Pioneer Village' at Woodbridge, Casa Loma, and entertainment at the O:Keefe Centre. Night Classes Disappoint The- board learned from Mr. Cochrane that in some areas, particularly in the academic subjects and the millinery and oil painting, the registration for night classes was disappointing, With the approval of the Ad- visory Vocational Committee, he has cancelled the academic courses, changed the commer- cial subjects from two nights per week to one night; cancel- led the machine shop practise because of the lack of registra- tion; will run the drafting, elec- tricity and building construc- tion courses for two weeks, and if 15 pupils have not register- ed, the courses will be cancel- led. In the' recreational cours- es, boththe basic and advanced sewing will run one night per week instead of two; and oil painting and millinery course will also run for two weeks trial. A Driver Education course was approved by the board, and it will commence this week with •approximately 150 students. Ro- bert Smith will be supervisor and will be responsible for the setting up of the course, lectur- ing, the supervisory work and the secretarial work. In all, there will be 10 driving instruc- tors, who along with Mr. Smith, are members 'of . the teaching staff. Each student will be re- quired to have eight hours be- hind the- wheel, and six hours observing other drivers. In all, four cars will be supplied by dealers in the area.. Each stu- dent taking the course will be charged a non-refundable fee of $5.00, and driver instructors will receive a fee of $28 per pupil, while the supervisor will receive a total fee of $200. The board receives a grant, but it was not known at the time of the meeting how much it amounted to. Honor Banquet Approval was granted Princi- pal Cochrane to place an ad in each of the local newspapers advising the parents that pro- gress^ reports will be sent out to them on October 16. Mr. ochrane: "Report cards have a habit of not getting home." Students who have achieved an average of 80% or more on three sets of examinations' will be honored, by. the board at a banquet at whichthe parents, board members and school of- ficials,. will be invited.. The ev- ent will be' held in November and there will be 60 students honored. Mr. Cochrane said this .does not include Grade 13 students, who will receive re- cognition at commencement ex- ercises. For different awards 'for the "Over 80 Club", amounting to approximately $400, is given by the staff. Approval was granted for the renting of four additional sew- ing machines for the Home Eco- nomics Department. Overcrowd- ing in this department has re- sulted in students sitting idly by in their sewing classes due to a 'lack of sewing machines. Cost of the. renting of each machine is $6 per month. A report on the school's Cadet Corps from, Headquarters gave an 83.4% efficiency rating. Mr. Cochrane said that this is con- sidered very good, when one considers that the corps is in competition with schools of sim- ilar enrolmept. Clinton does not have access to as many boys as there are in the school, since a number of them come from Seaforth, Goderich and. Exeter by bus and are not free to par- ticipate. Carl Skov was appointed as chief engineer of the school. Mr. Skovhas been an employee for a number of years as a cus- todian, and recently as a fourth class engineer. Approval was given to the payment of fees to the Wing - ham District High School for Garry Walden of the Blyth area. This pupil is taking the five- year arts and science course. The Clinton board felt that it would he cheaper to pay his fees at Wingham than to run a bus to his door to pick 'him up. Neither of thetwo tenders received for ,the sale of the house built last term by pupils in the vocational course were ' accepted. Material used cost $500, and the highest tender was $200. The house, size 10 by 12, 'is neither insulated nor painted. Commencement exercises will be held October 23, when 21 secondary school honor gradua- tion diplomas, 112 secondary school graduation diplomas and 88 certificates of standing will be presented. Awards to be dis- tributed amount to $3,500. A new award, donated by the con- tractor of the vocational school, the Laverne Asmussen Co., will be presented to an RR 1, Au- burn, student, Tony Verburg (science, technology and trades).
