rovides Excellent Choice of Solid Courses year s that there are any changes. The University Program student must write provincial exams in his major subjects and therefore he faces a more difficult curriculum. If he majors in Englsh, for example, apart from the compulsory four year course, he must take an extra English 91 class in his senior year. The majors offered at V.C. have the same basic requirements. To major in Social Studies one must take the compulsory three year pro- gram and an extra class in Grade Twelve. Math has the same requirements. A Science major con- stitutes two years of General Science supplemen- ted by Chemistry and Physics in the Junior and Senior years. A Commerce major is also avail- able at College. In the foreign language depart- ment a four year study of either French or Latin constitutes a major. Together with the program of majors a variety of minor studies give partial credits. Music and Ar t give three credits to a year. Health and Personal Development is a prescribed course worth five credits a year for three years. Jour- nalism provides a student five credits toward the hundred and twenty he needs to graduate. Making the right choice in high school has a great deal to do with success in later life. Realizing that a student on Grade nine level is seldom able to assess his talents accurately, the faculty places students in the program best suit- ed for them. Then, as his knowledge of avail- able fields is filled in and his interests develop, the student is equipped to make correct choices later in his high school career. The course outlined above is primarily academic and though there are many vocational and technical subjects recognized for credit in the British Columbia curriculum it is quite im- possible to cover all these fields in one school of this size.
