BALL-MACAULAY,
Prepare for first game Physical,
Education plus
The Phys. Ed: 400 classes
got an interesting break from
routine Tues. Jan. 9th„, The
classes are taking advantage of
our winter weather and are
learning how to snow-shoe. An
expert in this field, Mr. Alvin
Jones from London, came and •
sp-oke to the class on his many
adventures and experiences in
the north. Mr: Jones began trap-
ping at the age of 10 out west.
When he was 15 he was spending
the Wire winter in the north
learning from experienced men
the skill of hunting and trapping.
During the depression, fur prices
fell so drastically that he
couldn't afford - to hunt so he
worked in mining and lumber
camps. Mr. Jones finally decided
to come east apd in so doing
continue his love of hunting and
finally settled'down to have a
family.
Mr. Jones' knowledge of the
outdoors is vast. He hunts regu-
larily and skins and tans many
of his hides himSelf. He is an
expert at making snowshoes. He
makes them entirely himself even
down to moulding the wooden
frames and is in demand by many
people who recognite his great
skill. Also with the hides he
makes and sews hi s own slippers,
vests and coats. Mr.J:rf=s hunts
muds of his own meat aee makes
his own beer and wine. He
brought 'many different tools and
traps which he showed us and
explained their uses. • Mr.Jones
has a great" understanding of
wildlife and their habits and'
loves the outdoors. This shows
up clearly in his speech and
actions- and makeshim a really
interesting speaker. Mr. Jones'
philosophy on life and hunting
probably shows best what he is
really like. He says "You don't
cheat anyone. Indian or white,
and they won't you."

This week a degree of nor-
malacy has been restored finally
to the .halls of S.D.H.S. The
Christmas exams were upper-
most in everyone's minds in the
week before Christmas. The
exams ran from Friday to Fri-
day and during this time students
were busy trying to figure out
how to shop for that extra special
preSent and at the same time
study for that Chemistry
exam. More often than not it
was the studying „ that was ne-
Difficult match
On Tuesday, January 9th, Sea-
fortly's,Wrestlers played host to
Exeter, the Huron County Cham-
pions. Classes were dismissed
to permit the entire student body
to support their wrestlers. Un-
fortunately, even with this
support the boys were unable to
win against such stiff com-
petition. Bruce Knight came up
with the only pin for Seaforth.

much better results' Thursday,
here, against Seaforth.

glected instead of the holiday
celebrations and card-sending.
I'm sure a different date for
exams was the Christmas wish
of many -a student.
Long fades and anxious looks
were Worn by many students as
they wrote one exam after
, another. Congratulations go out
to Clayton Fraser, 4A, who wept
in and came outef exams smiling-
regardless. But, gradually, as
one after another was over, the
end was in sight. Students antici-
pated a welcome and well-earned
holiday and tried not to thi nk of
returning t o school and getting
the results of that treacherous
week back.
Spotlight
So far Student Spotlight has
featured only the female side of
`the Student body.so this week the
boys will be • represented very
well by Brian Lane. Brian is

Tight schedule
Boys' basketball has been
busy throughout the holidays in
preparation fir theit games
ahead. The coaches, Mr.Johnson

all, this hard work will bring
noticeable results. It wasn't
all work though, during the holi-
days the Senior boys were in-
vited back to Coaqh Johnson's
home for an evening. This was
an enjoyable and welcome break'
from practises.
