expenses, but I see no. alter-
native,” he stated.

the municipality for just over one
year, estimates his work day to
be at least 12 hours: in winter,
while in summer. he puts in 16
hours a day because of the extra
construction,

BY ROSEMARY OWEN

Grade 13 is to be phased out of
the Claremont Senior Secondary
School program,

The decision was announced at
a meeting of Saanich’ School
District trustees on Monday
evening, and is’ based. on new
emphasis being- placed’ on. the
establishment of junior calleges
in the province.

Speaking on. ‘the subject of the
provision of university-level
courses by the municipal tax-
payer, Trustee. Gordon Ewan
said “‘to infringe into the domain
of the university. especially
where a university’ is readily
available to qualified students,
requires more resources and
effort. than the. product gains,
both ‘for himself and. the..com-
munity at large’ >. |

Claremont school principal,
Lott expressed
Satisfaction “at. the excellent.
record of attainment of students
graduating the,Grade 13 course.

He said that enrolment at-this ~

level is diminishing as pressure
on classroom. accommodation
increases. °

The present grant structure is
inimical to further development

of university level programming :

within the school, he observed.’

this could only be achieved by the
