He said he, was concerned on the reduc- tion of student-teacher ratio and also expressed if there was to be a strike let there be a strike. Carryian said even though the st udent-teacher ratio mray be reduced it did flot mean there would necessarily be more teachers. Doug Sîfton, Administrator, pointed out that new t!eachers were likely more necessary in providing new courses which have becomne a requiremnent under law of the province, Wvhen the Board vwas criticized for flot si.bmnittinig a budget prior. to the meeting Carman said tha-t even board memibers had flot seen a budget as yet and th t th meeting was called to get iný- put prior to budget pre-para- tion. MIARY hMORRIS iCE"LEBRATES 91ST. BIRTIIDKY! After Church at St. Saviours on Sundlay, there wvas a sur- prise party for Mary Morris who was celebrating her 9lst. bir- thday.

Mature students may work towards a Secondary Gradua- tion Diploma or enrol on a part-time basis for a job training or diploma comple- tion. In general at least four credits could be obtained in five months through the semester system. It was pointed out to one mature student that ar- rangements could, be set up for those on shift work Who can only attend every two weeks for a two week period. Taylor and McCann also outlined opportunities through Provincial cor- respondence courses which can be promoted under the umlirella of the Clarke High School. Taylor points out that this allows the school to provide a course that is flot being taught at the school. A teacher at the schooL Svould be assigned to a-studenit tak- ing a corsodntcus who would attend school on a part-time basis. The principal states he hopes to extend this cor- respondence opportunity to regular day students so that a greater varcity of subjects cani be offered at the school even for a limited number of students. if enough mature and regular students take ad- vantage of tue cor- respondcence courses through the umbrella of the schoo)l one classroom would be set up for such students to be overseen by a teacher from the school. . Taylor also points out that the school has"staffing, resources and mnaterial to be able to provide care er counselling, testing and as well provide counselling for courses to be takeni to achieve utlimate goals.
