SDHS Chatterbox Published by the Students of the Seaforth District High School Volume II — No. 1 Editors: Gisela Helbig and Robert Sharp 140 NEW ARRIVALS AT SDHS FIND OPENING DAY CONFUSING Chatterbox Editorial (By Gisela Helbig) Now that The Chatterbox has reached the ripe old age of one year, we can forge ahead with confidence as we look back at our spotless(?) record. Last year the paper was a kind of experiment; now we'd like it to become an • established fact. I hope you'll help us out with your ideas and suggestions. We're throwing a staff together now, so it isn't too late to get your application in. We don't pay much—but think of the in- valuable experience! Welcome to all the Grade Nines! I trust you won't find life within the portals of this educational institution too dis- mal—at least, not until initia- tion. Are your knees knocking and your hands trembling? It isn't that bad, really; everybody else here has lived through it. Personally, I suffered through THREE days of shining shoes, picking leaves off the lawn, and !)owing and scraping. It is fun, even in its darkest moments, and just wait until next year! Keep the gossip coming, ev- erybody! Just tip off somebody on the staff. Just think what a wonderful way it is to get even with your best friend who walk- ed off with your favorite boy- friend. If you have any other news item, be sure to let us know. It's pretty hard to get along without them. ' Revision of High School Education August 10, 1961, will be a historic day for students still in public scheols1 and all other future high school students. That was the day that Educa- tion Minister John Robarts an- nounced that, starting in 1962, a five -years program to change high school education would be initiated. There will now be three branches of secondary educa- tion in Ontario—arts and sci- ence; business and commerce; and engineering, technology, and trades. Each branch will provide five-year courses for those planning to go on to uni- versity, and four-year courses to prepare those going directly into business or industry, as well as shorter practical cours- es for those who do not want to stay in school for a long time. The students will have to decide on the branch and course as they enter Grade IX, but they will still have a chance to change after Grade IX is completed. Mr. Robarts hopes that this form of education will be more effective, since it will not de- mand the same standards from students entering university, and students who intend to work at a trade. Revision is on the way in school Math courses, too. New math books are being publish- ed, and some of the problems deal with space ships and satel- lites, and other modern inven- tions and concepts. Eventually, all the high school math will be taught in one year less, and students will have a whole year to plunge into newer mathema- tics. After all, most Canadian textbooks teach nothing that wasn't known in 1750. It would appear that great changes will be made in sec- ondary education. Perhaps pub - lice schools will be next on the list. What do you think? McKILLOP CHARGE Cavan, Winthrop, 9:45 a.m.— Rev. J, C. Britton. (By Margaret Elgie) September 5, 1961, was a rather confusing day for some 140 people—the new Grade 9 students at S.D:H.S.; 270 others sighed or cheered as they re- turned for another year of edu- cation. On the opening morning the streets of Seaforth were filled with young people heading in one general direction —.the school. To make it easier to Suggest Five New Resolutions (These were published in the Canadian High News, as part of a message from E. George Cochrane, B.A., M.Ed., the prin- cipal of Central Park School, Montreal. They are just too good to miss.—Ed.) 1. I shall throughout the 10 months that lie ahead strive to keep uppermost in my mind the fact that I am in school prim- arily to acquire. an education and not to have a good time. 2. I shall pay close attention to everything that my teachers say in class, including those who fail to make their lessons interesting and those whose subjects I do not like. 3. I shall keep up to date with my work, starting on as- signments the day that they are announced, rather than the night before they are due. 4. I shall make a practice of reviewing constantly, and there- by will rendff unnecessary those agonizincramming ses- sions which blight the life of the unorganized student. 5. I shall set aside a certain amount of time each day for home study and shall not al- low telephone calls, minor headaches or the appearances on television of such captivat- ing personalities as Jayne Mans- field to lure me from my study desk. SDHS Holds First Assembly (By Jean McNaughton) On September 8, Mr. Plum steel called the first assembly for the fall term. He welcom ed the new staff members and the 410 students, and wished them a successful year. To the amazement of the sen- ior students, he did not dwell on the fact that high school requires much effort and time. Instead, he informed us about the new Technical School to open in Clinton next Septem- ber. It will be for Grades 9 and 10 the first year. Each year it will advance to one higher grade, until it includes Grade 13. Those who are in- terested in business, commerce, engineering, and trades, will attend this new school. Mr. Plumsteel plans to hold a meeting during the year for all the parents in the district who wish to know more about this hew school. The technical school will make a considerable change at Seaforth District High School. Enrolment will decrease here. Eventually, only the Arts and Science courses will be given at Seaforth. This technical school will cer- tainly be a great benefit to both teadhera and students. get back into the groove, school was not started until 10:00 a.m. For the following hour or so, students were routed to their proper rooms and were visited by their new teachers. After the students learned abut books, rules, and all those other things teachers have to say on the first day of school, they were dismissed around 11:30. At 3:00 the buses came and took home the few country stu- dents who remained. Thus end- ed the first day of school at Seaforth High—the last day of real freedom for over nine long months. MODERN DEFINITIONS Intellectual: A person with the know-how to get work done by telling other people how to do it. r** Synonym: A word you use when you can't spell the one you wanted to use in the first place. * '* * Highbrow: A person who can listen to the overture to Wil- liam Tell without thinking of the Lone Ranger. SCHOOL SONG When Seaforth High goes down the floor, We know that they will always, always score; And though the other team has lots of pep, We will show them that they're out of step! And when, the game goes down in history, It's just another Seaforth vic- tory. And then the cheers go out for Seaforth High: Rah! Rah! Rah! Receive Habits At Ceremony Among the nine young ladies who received the habit of the Sisters of St. Joseph recently at an impressive ceremony in t h e Immaculate Conception Chapel at Mount St. Joseph, London, was Sister M.

''D. Ross Mac- Donald, a native of Nova Sco- tia. The choir sang an appro- priate anthem. Mr. MacDonald thanked the congregation for their kindness to himself and family as they were getting settled. He spoke on the subject, "The Shortest Way To Happi- ness," taking as his text, I Thes- salonians, chapter 5, verse 18: "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." If we believe that God loves us, will He not send what is best for us? We are to give thanks to God for everything, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in death. Many of the finest, most radiant happy persons we have met have had much sickness and sorrow. Unless we give thanks for whatever happens, what is the alternative: whin- ing, complaining, whimpering or grim endurance are usual. None of these lead to happi- ness. As Paul•rays in Romans, "All things work together for good to those who love God"; Romans 8:28: "Only by the grace of God are we able to give thanks for everything." This is the shortest way to happiness," the minister said. Brussels Driver Wins Honors in International After five years of trying, Jack McCutcheon from Brussels finally hit pay dirt, and won himserf an International Cham- pionship. It all took place at the Pinecrest Speedway in Toron• to. Along with the champion- ship trophy, Jack received $1,- 000 for his win. McCutcheon got into stock car driving, more or less by the hack door. Jack's brother Casey is the owner of car 73, and was doing quite well with Max Armstrong as his driver. Armstrong was transferred by his employer, leaving Casey without a driver for his car. Casey experimented for sev- eral weeks with various drivers, trying to find a winning com- bination until one night at the Nileston Speedway, the driver who was at the wheel of the car spun out in the heat race and then repeated the same act in the semi-final. In disgust he told McCutcheon to load the car on the trailer, unless he wanted to try it himself in the feature event. Jack has been driving ever since. Spins Out As far as that first night is concerned, •McCutcheon would just as soon forget about it. After the starter dropped the green flag to start the race, Jack got as far as the back stretch in the first lap when he was hit from behind and spun out. He watched the rest of the race from the infield. At home in Brussels, McCut- cheon is torn between two sides. He is employed by McCutcheon Motors, the Chevrolet, Oldsmo- bile dealer, in Brussels, and he drives for the opposition Brus- sels Motors, owned by his bro- ther Casey. Off to a slow start this sea- son, things certainly started to look up at the half way point when the McCutcheons came out with a new car. Since the first appearance of the new ma- chine, Jack has been consist- ently running with the leaders at Bridgeport, London and To- ronto.
