(Clinton News Record Photo) SDHS Review Boys golf teams are champs too member for' fOur years, Jane Ribey, who's been running for three, -- all three were members fo the first WOSSA champs and Wendy Dorssers, Maureen Delaney and Patricia Menheere, all in their first year with the seniors. There is a seven member midget boys team at the school' too, but no older runners. "It's a .rebuilding program and they're making a good effort", Mr. Johnston says. The coach says that he's really and their coach tries to train and bring up enough young runners so that the teams won't collapse when older members graduate. The present award winning senior team actually has runners who, according to their ages, should be competing against juniors. But again, there aren't enough kids available to make a full senior squad and the kids get a premature promotion. A cross country runner must 'have a lot of dedication and self discipline and coachJohnston says a few who would be really struck by the companionship that warm friendships that cross country running brings out among team members and runne 'rs from different schools. "They may be, real competitors, but they cheer for each, other." Mary agrees and says their experiences at meets make the long practises (each girl is "supposed to" run two or three miles every day), pay off. Although SDHS is proud of its runners, few outside the school know they exist, lel alone win. There has never been a cros s country meet here, because the few people involved makes organizing one difficult. Cross country running is hardly a spectator sport. No one sees them; they get no accolades their coach says. But they keep running. As Terry Johnston says, "It takes a special kind of person." (By Mary Lammerant) The golf teams have wound up the 75 season with a spectacular 5th in All-Ontario. The team consisting of Cam Doig, Steve' Bennett, Ed Malkus and Brian Nigh won the Huron-Perth Championship got second in WOSSA and got 5th in All- •Ontario. That really is an accom- plishment when one compares the size of SDHS (400 students) to some large city school (2,000). Way to go team. Cross Countryro Huron Perth On Friday, October 17 the Huron Perth Championships for cross country is being held. This is what the entire team has been training for. After a spectacular season so far they hofeto keep it up although it will be really difficult. So far this •,season they have won a championship in Exeter, won in Stratford, 2nd in Parkhill and 16 in the York Invitational in Toronto. Th'e one in Toronto was against 40 schools from all over Ontario. Mary Lammerant got 41 out of 257 runners. Barb Doig got 93, Jane Ribey 120, Patricia Men- Weere 123 and Wendy Dorssers 151. Tnat is really amazing seeing it was against runners from all over Ontario. After Huron-Perth this we , the team looks forwaid to next Friday and possibly All- Ontario. Good Luck! Level 4 Law Classes to Stratford Last Wednesday, the level 4 law classes took a bus to Stratford to see the, movie, Recommenda- tion for Mercy. The classes have been diScussing the Steven Trus- cott case. pee this movie was sup- posedly bated on the case, Mr. Scott and Mr. Renshaw, the law . teachers, thought it would be a good idea for the classes to see it. Everyone agreed it was a really good movie. Student Spotli t This week's spo ight is on Robert Wil a level foul. student at SDHS, Robert is 17 years old and lives at R.R. 1, Brucefield with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Wilson. Robert has a really busy schedule. He belongs to the Geography Club at school, which is going to the Canary Islands during the March break this year. He is also involved 'in many community activities. Robert is a member of the Junior Farmers and he also belongs to the 4H Swine Club, COrmClub, Snowmobile Club and the. Vet Club and he curls for Junior Farmers too. Robert is very musical. You ought to hear him play the piano. He in fact has his grade eight in piano, He is a member of Brucefield United Church and sings in the choir there, As far as school goes, Robert says he likes it. His favourite subject is physics. 1 as4d Robert if he had anything he would like to say about our school. He thinks it is terrible that the students "don't stand up behind their teams There will be fewer day threes because of thisand he thinks it's not fare to the teams. Robert also ,thinks we have a great bunch of teachers at SDHS but he wouldn't want them to find that out. He also thinks we have a great students council and we will 'have a good year if everyone stands behind it. The future? Bob wants to farm. Good Luck. If the girls at SDHS are winning runners, the boys excel at golf. With talented golfers who are also SDHS students, an excellent golf team has been put together. SDHS golfers won the Huron Perth Championship for the second time. this year and were runners up in WOSSA competition. In all Onterio golf matches they placed fifth, matching their scores against 30 teams from across the province. 'Steve Bennett is the veteran on the team. He's playing his fourth and lasts y ear for SDHS. Next year he's going on to further education. • Other members are Ed. Ma Ikus, a member for three years, Cam Doig and Brian Nigh who've been two years on the team. This year Cam had the low gross for Huron Perth in competition at Grand Bend. Fay Storey of the girls team also had low gross. Although golf is an individual sport, the winning team is determined by 'taking the best th ree of four scores by team members. There have been golf teams at ,for quite a few years Marianne Weiler says. She does some of the coaching but says geography teacher Don Morton does most of it. The physed teachers h ope to get students in their regular courses out golfing in the Spring. They say quite a few kids in the school are interested. Every year there are try-outs for places on' the school teams, but there is also a low gross award for the best golfer witlin the school. Steve has been golfing for about six years. He says that though he and his teammates like to golf he doubts that any of them plan to be serious pro golfers in the future. They go If because it's fun and they are good at it. The girls' golf team won the Huron Perth championship two years ago. Members of the present girls are Cheryl Seymour, Janet Haney, Susan Kunder and Faye Storey. • Traditionally-there is a. lot of noise made about winning highschool basketball and football teams. Rah, rah cheer leaders and crowds of parents and fellow students watch their games and encourage them on to victory. But the most successful athletes at Seaforth District High School are doing their winning so quietly that few people know about them. There are two award winning teams at SDHS these days ... the boy's golf team and the senior girls cross country runners. SDHS phys ed teachers and coaches Terry Johnston and Marianne. Weiler say there is no way a small school like theirs has enough "bodies" to mount a crack basketball team. Other . schools in-the' leagues they play against have three or four times as many students to choose from. That's why a few years ago SDHS 'dropped its attempt to mount a football team that could compete evenly against the much larger schools, and puts its money and the efforts of its kids and coaches elsewhere. _ In the individual sports, like golf and running, SDHS has a chance, because of the talent and dedication of a few , students, to stack up well against much larger schools. Why golf and cross country running? "The desire and the talent was there in our kids", Miss Weiler says. The first year that SDHS abandoned its football team Terry Johnston decided to spend time concentrating on running. Alex Stevens, another teacher at the school, had been coaching a small grOup of runners who had gone to a few meets a year , and according to Miss Weiler, individual runners had done well. Terry worked with the runners and teams started to develop. Two years ago the girls had a rash of successes, winning Huron Perth, (10 schools) , going on to the next step in competition, WOSSA, (about 40 schools), winning there and then placing fifth in all Ontario competition. "You go with what y ou've got", he says. The individual talent was there and SDHS worked with it. There is now a junior as well as a senior girls team at the school, This is your last week to buy 'this months 50/50 ticket. First draw FRI.

This is a blow, when a small school needs every good athlete it can muster, but he understands that kids have to set their own pri6rities. Marianne Weiler says the shift to sports like golf and running at the school is part of the larger change in education.Phys ed tries to prepare kids for their lives of ter school and "who's going to play basketball when they leave school?" but graduates will quite' likely play golf and they may run or jog a bit --- things they can do without belonging to a team. It's part ofa move to all round fitness, she says. The teachers don't knock team ,sports though. ''SDHS teams, basketball, volleyball , etc. do really well for the size of the school. They often finish in middle running against schools with 1500 and more students. So far this year, the senior runners have placed first in the Stratford Invitational ,Stratford Central has 50' girls runners to choose from. SDHS has, at most , 10. They also won the Exeter Invitational . The team is their closest rival. At the Middlesex Invitational they came seond. They are really proud of their showing at the York Invitational in Toronto where they came 16th against 40 teams, most of them front large city schools. Mary Lammerant, whose been running for the school for four years, placed 41st out of 257 runners there from all over the province: Others on the prize winning team are Bob Doig, a team CLERE-VU AUTO WRECKERS NEW, USED AND REBUILT trucks DUNLOP & REMINGTON Car, truck turici.traCtor tires TRACTOR TIRE SERVICE REPAIR SERVICE Clinton 48/-3211 Hwy. 8 W. of Clinton R.11.2, Clintor el:010g Pi was i'rOfes', siO al Develoinn nt 1?ay for the teachers of flu n Centennial schooi, The sti of Henn% Seaforth j and tephen Public Schools kilned in the morning to hear representatives from the Department. ,of Edication speak on the new curriculm guide book, :The Formative Years". in the afternoiin, staff visited the Board Office in Clinton. Mr. Smith, one of the county Supervisors was host. He explained the magnitude ot the work done within the office by the personnel there, and concluded by giving the staff a tour of the building. A 'work period,' followed, when the teachers were able to use some of the facilities available such as laminating work cards and pictures, making overhead copies, or reviewing films.
