The School Supermtendent told |~ the large gathering of the grati- fying results of the City’s efforts. He said in.1952 only 51 per cent of pupils who had entered 10 years before completed Grade 10. But in June 1966, 82 per cent of the youngsters who entered school in 1956 finished the 10 grades. He then asked ‘‘where could there be greater return on an investment of the tax- payers’ dollars?”

Noting this first year of oper ation was by necessity a tran- sitional period, he told of the new courses. to be introduced as electives next year and said "as time goes on the student body will be divided into two main streams, with the help of our Guidance persomel., One will lead to the final examinat- ions as set by thé Atlantic Prov-
