Schools hove been thinking about what the future will be holding for mem they choose courses for the September semester In high school Now is the time to carefully consider ability and interest when considering courses for high school said Mike Furlong of Georgetown and District High School Students have been supplied with a detailed book to guide In the selection of courses and options The book written by Mr Furlong outlines the courses offered and where they will lead In terms of future studies at university or college When selecting courses Mr Furlong noted it Is wise to keep as many doors open to future education as possible and thus we encourage the selection of Level subjects if the students and parents feel the end result will be university All courses have been computercoded to aid In the selection preparation In timetables and teacher and classroom scheduling The code represents the subject the level of difficulty the elective choice within that subject and the year for that course An example would be The EN represents English H is the code for humour which is one cf the three choices available to Grade Nine students this year The in dicates that this subject is taken during the first year and the five Indicates that this subject will lead to an Honor Graduation Diploma In year five Under the old system It would be called a fiveyear course Three levels In the course selection available to students Enrichment Ad vanced and General The Enrichment courses ore designed to appeal to a student who demonstrates a high level of proficiency and Interest In the subject Careful con si deration by the principal of the graduating students school and the guidance staff at the high school will be made for the recom mendation prior to placement in this level six A level five subject will lead to graduation at a Grade level and the level four general leads to a graduation diploma at the end of four years or Grade 13 but does not lead to Grade Students wishing to continue their education In university are encouraged to study English Mathematics Science and French beginning at year one and following through until graduation The option sheet used In the selection of courses Indicates at a glance where the subjects lead In the current curriculum All subjects and levels have been printed on the sheet to show where the course leads in terms of graduation at the fouror fiveyear level Parents have been urged to sit down with their child and discuss the students future interests Mr Furlong added There is no point In forcing a child to work at a high level when be la having trouble with it Now is the time for students and parenta to get together and talk over the future and also think of past performances within school said Mr Furlong Our level five subjects lead to university but if the student has difficulty at that level be may not even graduate or should he reach university the work load may be too much The expression keeping as many doors open as possible Is important Ability and interest are two very Important con siderations to make Students and parents are urged to call the high school or the principal of their own school to aid In selecting appropriate courses Students have been tuned in to be needs and requirements for many of the courses Parents have also bad an opportunity to attend talks on the courses offered and a special open bouse held last Monday to permit teachers and parents along with the students to see first hand the operation of some of these courses and get the teachers views of where the subject

have believed has been hap pening According to it the Con have been slipping In Ontario But it has con firmed It In spades For the extent Of the drop Is shocking A you probably have read the results of the poll showed the Liberals with percent of the vote and the Davis PCs with only percent This result must have been stunning to the Conservative leadership It is the first time In years since they took power In IMS poll close In the IBM election the John Wintermeyer Liberals at the start were only two points back percent to percent as I the two Frost waa running his first campaign as PC leader parties were also close But in each case the Liberals quickly dropped off and within a couple of weeks there was a gap of a dozen points between the two parties these two occasions there This poll of course doesnt mean that the Liberals are home free for the election One factor is that in this poll a large SB percent of those sur veyed were undecided Then there la no question mat with a good many people Liberal leader Bob Nixon still lacks credibility and we dont know whether when It comes to tual ballot marking time whether even If they have Liberal leanings they will vote for him Agalak even if tbey got percent of the vote the Liberals under the percentages and Ontario voting patterns would probably only be returned with minority government Then finally the PCs have the chance to come back I course some Some people are inclined to dismiss them particularly when they are against them However personally over the years I have found them a pretty useful tool And at least some politicians end par ticularly perhaps the best I know for In two elections I bad to get the findings to Frost as soon as we had them In the Thomson office He wanted them avidly that the PCs have ever
