Toronto, opened the tenders and noted that all tenders specified Toronto Plumbing and Heating for Mechanical work and Hart Electric for electrical work. In view of the board’s quandry over having received two identical low tenders, Mr. Boyce offered to investi- Tenders for a 23-room addition to Bayview High School were opened at the meeting of the York Central District High School Board on February 26th. The 23- room addition will include nine academic rooms, one music room, two typewriting rooms, one business ma- chine room, three laboratories, one drafting room, one auto shop, one sheet metal shop, one electricity room, auuyu unu v.. v-., v.--v__ est bid was from Gardiner & ‘Wighton at $779,418.00.‘ The lowest tender was for $739,000.00 and two tenders were received for this amount. one from Graham & Sibbett Ltd., Weston, the other from Varamae Con- struction Ltd., Toronto. -- n“ n gate both contractors, examine the sub-trades, espec- ially the mill work and report back to the board with his recommendations as to which tender to accept. On a motion by Trustee Wilson, it was decided to accept either tender depending on Mr. Boyce’s report and sub- ject to the sub-trades being satisfactory to the proper- ty committee which was to meet on February 28th and make the final decision. At their meeting on Feb- ruary 28th, Mr. Boyce's re- port indicated that after a close examination of the two lowest tenders‘ sub- contractors. both tenders remained almost identical. However on approaching Toronto Plumbing and Heat- ing who had submitted the lowest plumbing tender of $147,619.00, he found that this firm was unable to se- cure a bond. It was accord- ingly necessary to accept the next lowest tender that of George Kelson of Thorn- hill and the contract for the addition was therefore awarded to Graham and Sib- bet for a total of $747,281. with plumbing by George Kelson and electrical Work by Hart Electric. The board was also gra- tified to find the total cost was under the $870,000.00 approved by the govern. ment for this addition. it is expected that work will start in a week or so. Teachers Trustee Redelmeier reporterfl to the board for the management committee that their last meet- ing had been entirely taken up with the teachers’ salary com- mittee but that negotiations were not yet completed. The management committee did recommend to the board however, that it advertise for ‘35 new teachers. Woodbridge High School would require one replacement teacher; Bayvlew required one replacement and nine additional; Richmond Hill would require three replace- ments; the balance of the new teachers would be required for Thornhill Secondary School which would need three replace- ments and 16 additional teach- The board expressed sat- isfaction that the plumbing would be done by a local firm employing men from the Richmond Hill and Thornhill area. it was also noted that Mr. Kelson had done the original Thornhill High School plumbing. as well as several other con- tracts for the board and his work had at all times been satisfactory. Hart Electric are presently doing the Thornhill addition and have given the board every co- operation. EI‘S On the recommendation of the management committee, the board decided to rent a suite of rooms at the Park Plaza Hotel for interviewing teachers. Week-end Heating In reporting for the property ‘ committee Trustee Endean stat- 1 ed that the committee had met1 twice since the last board meetâ€" ing and was working on the bud- get and had gone over the fig-T ures for supplies and equipment. 0n the question of week-end heating for Richmond Hill High School. the committee recom- mended that if possible all Week- end activities be held on Satur- day and not on Sunday. Trustee Endean stated that it was nec- ‘essary for the engineer to be on hand some four hours before the heat was wanted in order to fire up the boilers and that to bring the gym up to required temperature it was necessary to heat the whole school; also sup- plying heat on Sundays would mean that the engineer had to work a seven day week. After considerable discussion, on a motion of Trustee Redel- meier. the board agreed to ap- prove overtime pay for maintenance staff for authorized occasions. the principal to ar- range technical details with the Business Administrator Ash- worth beforehand. . Several recommendations were made to the board by the advis- ory-vocational committee. They asked for approval of the instal- lation of a telephone conduit in Thornhill Secondary School to the. shop director's office at a ‘ cost of $391.05 and this approval ; was given on motion of Trustee ‘ Endean. seconded by Trustee l Clingersmith. The committee reported that six vocational teachers would'be required for next year, two commercial teachers. one for machine shop, one for architec- tural drafting, one for boys‘ oc- cupations and one for girls' oc- ‘upations. l'l‘hese six teachers ire included in the total of 35 eachers mentioned in the re- uort of the management com- The commiitee also asked hat the board budget $5,240.0C for supplies.

The board authorized Mr. Templeton to offer several piec- es of surplus equipment to other” shops in the area. any remain- ing surplus equipment to be turned over to the property .comrmlttee for disposal. It was reported that Mr. Frank Robson of Maple had been nam- ed to the auto mechanics su‘bâ€" committee. Thornhm Report In giving his principal’s re- port for Thorn‘hill Secondary School, Mr. A. S. Elson noted that the school had held a very successful drama night on Feb- ‘ruary 22 and 23 when TWelfth Night had been presented. He read a letter received from Rev. Evans of Thornhill Presbyter- ian Church, congratulating the school on the performance. Mr. Elson reported that the option sheets returned indicat- ed that Thornhill Secondary School would have at least two classes in the five year science, technology and trades course ‘and two in the business and commerce course next year.‘ There would apparently be two; classes in the four year science‘ and technology course, two in the four year business and com- merce. at least one class in the two year technology course, as well as six of the regular arts and science classes. Basketball Finals Mr. Elson noted that Thorn- P hill Secondary School was to be “ honoured by having the finals of a the Ontario Basketball Associa- 1" ‘tion at the school on March 16 § and 17 and asked that the man- 1‘ agement committee spend $60. h for awards for these games. He 3 also requested that the board investigate the possibility of r either renting or purchasing] bleac‘her seats for installation: in the gym for these games. Mr. * Ashworth reported however 5 that he had contacted one firm! about renting these bleachers and their rental fee was prohib- _ itlvely expensive, $1.00 per seat , per person, probably more than .the cost of admission to the [gamEs Various members of the _board expressed themselves us _aware of the real help such‘ bleachers would be. Principal ‘ Morrow of Richmond Hill re- iorted that on one occasion stud- ents from his school had moved bleac ers from the park to the schoo but that it was such a long and arduous job, it was y not worthwhile. It was suggested -that instead ofybuylng a com- ‘ycplete set of bleachers for the uâ€"nmw in school in any one year which ' would cost several thousand ' dollars (and Which items have 'L been struck out of the budget dfor several years pat) the h board investigate the possibility of purchasing one unit at a time.

Mr. Euhank Also put before the board a suggestion for the installation in the school of an lutomatic vending machine whch would dispense pens. pen- cus and notebooks. The project would be operated by the stud- ent council which would make a 20% profit. After a motion to allow the installation of the ma- chine had been made by Trus- tee Honsberger and seconded by Trustee Snider.

Mr. Morrow asked for permisq sion for 22 shop students to} make a trip to Hamilton to visit the Stelco plant; and for 35 zoology students to visit the To- ronto museum in May. Permis- sion for these outings was given by the board and also permis- sion to defray the costs of the trips out of the instructional supplies budget. Mr. Morrow also asked for $25.00 to defray the cost of the school's language night on April 16th. Only eight option forms had been received for entrance to the four year Arts and Science Course at Richmond Hlll High School and Principal Morrow stated that he would query the parents of these students and endeavour to have them switch to the five year course instead of travelling to other schools for the four year course. , Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Winger of Maple Miss Lillian Reaman, and Miss Ethel Byer spent Sun- day with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
