If this chemistry and momentum continue Rideau will be a schools Boys’ strong contender in the L.G.S.S.A.A. in mid November.

The department heads at Rideau are in the process of looking at the school’s program in light of the new curriculum and changing university requirements. Despite persistent rumour to the contrary there is absolutely no intention of closing the school or cancelling the grade 13 (OAC) program. But demands are changing and the school intends to meet the demands. For example, the University of Toronto will no longer accept three grade 13 maths for admission to a math or science program. For such a program students must take calculus and algebra but the third mathematics will not be counted. Some other universities are leaning in that direction and some are not. There remains, of course, the rule that students cannot count more than one of such grade 13 subjects as Family Studies, Economics, Politics, Accounting, Physical Education, etc. All of this needs to be considered when the school makes certain that the program continues to offer students at Rideau the opportunity to qualify for almost every university course. The school has done so in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Wednesday, October 26, the senior boy's volleyball team played in a tournament at Grenville Christain College.
