Cafeteria is cleaner
Last week's harsh words served their purpose. Monday, the
cafeteria was unbelievably clean. I was amazed. Pop bottles were
put in their cases and there was very little garbage lying around.
The students have proven they can be neat and tidy. keep up the
good work, of ter all, six hours a day are spent in school, it might
as well have a "pleasant" appearance for that length of time.

BEST GRADE FOUR COSTUMES — There were freaks and goblins all over the
place at Seaforth Public School onFriday, as most classes had a Hallowe'en patty.

girl, Michael Wallace as an' Australian swag man, Andrea Pinder as Little Red
Riding Hood, Bill Kenney as an old man, David Brodhagen as a lady and Jeff
Watson as a clown. (:Staff Photo)

I would hike to stand up for the students who were insulted in
last week's paper.
I happened to be in the cafeteria one day (the day the picture
was taken) and noticed two or three people putting garbage on
this one certain table. It made me very curious about what was
going on. They even took a picture of this mess!
I asked around to see. why this was being done but no one
knew.
Every day I eat my lunch in this cafeteria and I can swear that
the tables aren't left in the state mentioned last week.
As far as, quote, "the pigs" as we are described is a bunch of
"bunk". And for the write up and picture, it was just there to fill
up space on the SDHS part of the page.
And Parsons just needed something to say.

The editor replies:
When the photo of garbage on the cafeteria table was being
photographed last week, nothing was moved. In fact, we got in
trouble with the janitor for not letting him do his job because we
didn't want the trash moved while waiting for the photographer.
Anyone who's been in the cafeteria this week will have noticed
the improvement, Although' a lot of people disagreed with it,
perhaps it served its purpose.

The First Culls the Deepest
(By Laura Nelson 8B)
A few days ago our class (8B)
was required to dissect earth-
worms,: as phrt of the study of
their life functions.
Our science.teacher; Mr. Dyck,
explained what we were to do and
gave us the equipment.
Most of the people groaned and
plugged their noses when Mr.
Dyck gave us the worms and told
us not to touch our eyes/ because
of the preservative.
The rest was a stream, half the
people didn't know which end to
start at, and couldn't bring
themselves to cut it up let alOne
examine the internal parts.
Only a few people cut too deep
and wrecked the whole thing.
While we examined theme with
the magnifying glasses, there
were a few people with sick faces.
I thought it was quite
interesting.
Now I know_ what they mean
when they say the diagrams are
highly simplified.
Our worm looked completely
different from the diagrams.
But as they say, no ones.

County Council'
(By Brad Gowan)
Last Friday we went to
Goderich with 'a class trip. The
first thing we did was look at the
court room. Then we went on to
the council meeting.
The chairman is John L.
McCutcheon. They started the
session by standing then sitting
down. The chairman took attend-
ance and asked Mr, Flannery to
welcome us.
The first topic was child abuse.
We had a film that explained to us
how children are treated in some
homes. After this there were no
questions asked and they went on
to the next topic.
Then a man from the Depart-
ment efHighways. stepped up and .
started talking about vandalism.
They talked of the cast of this and
ways to stop it. He said that if you
take down a sign you could just
kill someone.
Mr. Carroll stood up and
thanked them for having all of us.
' Then we quietly riled out of the
building. • .

Each class went separately, one
pa October fourth and fifth, and
the other on October sixth, and
seventh. We were to study fossils
at Rock Glen, astronomy, historic
sites, see films and to do some
orienteering,
Our sleeping quarters were not
the best. hi fact, all we had were
two long boards in old fashioned
chuck wagons. It certainly gave
us an idea of pioneer days, and
the discomfort that they had.
Anyway, it was fun sharing the
wagon.
At night, when it was dark, the
teachers took us 'out to the
ca -pfire amongst the trees.
When it was pitch dark,, we were
told the eerie story of Tom
Sylvan.
After we all had a good scream,
we had a snack, and were sent to
bed at eleven o'clock. Lights were
out at 11:30 p.m.
Even with all the work we had
to do, it was the best field trip yet.
