The situation at Clarke High Scbool bas been reviewed anid some changes for next year will be impie- mentedi. It is important to maximize th-e Luse of Board's facilities. Clarke Highi School bas a lot of room for more students. Where program is available at Clarke students will be expected to attend that school. Bowmanville High School is quite overcrowded. School News mation from Mercer Mayer's books. Little Critter tired out bis babysitter. He had a day- dream and he becane, Super Critter.

We had fun.
