Four hundred twen- _-.4y-one examinations were writ- . ten ‘by. studerits in Biology 12, . Chemistry 12, Communications — 12, English 12, French 12, Geog- raphy 12, History 12, Mathe- matics 12, and Physics 12, A final mark of pass or higher was received by students in 394 of these examinations, or a 93.59 percent pass rate, Caledonia’s highest pass rate since the ex- aminations were reintroduced in - B.C, in January 1985. The final mark is calculated as follows: 60 percent of the school mark plus 40 percent of the provincial ex- - amination mark. ¥ Every year, 3 out of 10 Canadian students drop out before finishing high school... And they realize all too soon that it isn't as easy as they thought. The fact is, over the next few years, the majority of new jobs will require a high Students who received a final mark of 90 percent or higher in the provincially examinable courses are: 12 of 91% Robert Cuddeford - Physics 12 of 90% Bao-Lanh Diep - French 12 of 92% Jason Krause - French 12 of 90%, Mathematics 12 of 93%, Physics 12 of 90% Scott Loptson - Chemistry 12 of 99%, English 12 of 93%, Mathematics 12 of 99%, Physics 12 of 97% Mike Parker - Chemistry 12 of 90% David Shepherd - Chemistry 12 of 99%, Mathematics 12 of 95% Alison Siemens - Chemistry 12 of 95%, Mathematics 12 of 93% Paul Strangway - Chemistry ‘ Nicole Collison - Mathematics — Best pass rate since 1985 in Cal exa 20f9% ‘* Dave Wolfe - History 12 of 91%, Physics 12 of 96% , Caledonia already has six win- ners of Provincial Scholarships based on the results of the Jan- vary 1991 Scholarship Examina- tions (plus, in some cases, the June 1990 Scholarship Examina- tion results). These are by far the best results for January scholar- ship examinations written by ~ Caledonia students. *- These Provincial Scholarship winners are: Robert Cuddeford: English 12 - 595 SMS, Mathematics 12 - 587 -SMS, Physics 12 - 565 SMS Jason Krause: Biology 12 -662 SMS, Mathematics 12 - 607 - SMS, Physics 12 - 575 SMS Scott Loptson: Chemistry 12 -725 SMS, Mathematics 12 - 704 SMS, Physics 12 - 676 SMS Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 13, 1991 BS m scores ‘David Shepherd: Biology 12 629 SMS, Chemistry 12 - 679 SMS, Mathematics 12 - 613 SMS James Stein: Algebra 12 - 547 SMS, Chemistry 12 - 667, Physics 12 - 556 SMS Dave Wolfe: Algebra 12 - 644 SMS, History 12 - 5i0 SMS, Physics 12 - 644 SMS _ e@Note: SMS = Ministry Scores — ‘In addition, Caledonia has many students who could qualify for a Provincial Scholar- ship.

The Better Business Bureau pointed out in a recent news release that many charities operate the collection devices themselves with the consent of the merchant, but others enter into a contract with an. independent third-party business person who pays the charitable organization a flat mon- thly fee — sometimes as little as two dollars -—— and keeps any amounts collected beyond that fee as a profit. Information on some charities and the types of arrangements they have for change collection boxes is available from the Better Business Bureau at 681-0312 or from ad- ministrative offices of the specific charity involved. ott oo. . . - a weep pee Lom -. ae i Te we aN ee, ps. : < cet Togs Lora . . po ow ee — a Fos mI, fete me em a RE ee ci sige _ ie i i if i vy
