THOUGHT OF THE WEEK As a simple, unpretentious admirer of fine art, Elbert Hubbard derived much pleasure from visiting the great art galleries. One day he was admiring a priceless painting in a New York gallery when a friend chidingly remarked, "Elbert, why do you allo yourself to become so enthused over things you can never afford to own?" "Harry," replied the sage of East Aurora, "I would rather be able fo appreciate things | cannot have than to have things | am not able to appreciate."

It is believed that the daily measure of a student's performance is more valid than that of a "pressured" examination period. The day-to-day work will include: classroom participation; projects; tests; notebooks and oral presentations. Reports will be issued in October, January, April and June. In some subjects the final mark will be the average of the marks received in the four terms. In other subjects the total of the marks received in the first three terms plus twice the mark received in the final term will be divided by five to obtain the final mark.
