And KEN FLEAR
The Cadet Corps in South
Huron District High School -has
expanded rapidly since it was
formed in 1945. Our quota is
now 105 but on our nominal
roij we have 127 names. Mr.
Howey, Mr. Mickle and Mr. Meek
are the cadets’ instructors who endeavour to teach the boys the
fundamentals of cadet training.
■Mr. Wilson is the bandmaster
this yeaj.
The Commanding Officer of
this year's Cadet Corp is Bob
Wade, who holds the rank of
Major. Holding the rank of Cap
tain and having the position of
second-in-command is Bill Pattern
are commandersThe platoon
-- Lieutenants Don Adkins,
Ken Flear and Don McCurdy?-
The Company Sergeant-Major is
Keith Heywood.
The cadets meet every Thurs
day in activity period and they
are shown how to march proper
ly, shoot properly, handle a
rifle, use the Bren gun, and
render first aid,
Officers of the corps are chos
en by the instructors for effi
ciency in drill, experience at
camp, and abilities of leadership.
Throughout the year cadets try
tests such as the St. John’s Am
bulance test, Annual Classifica
tion on the range, and the group
test which is the annual inspec
tion, usually held in May.
A cadet is not subject to mili
tary call but the training is
supervised by an acting instruct
or of the army who visits the
school periodically.

Cafeteria Cost Is $12,500
To Feed 300 Pupils A Year
By KAWUB1 KALBFLE1SCII
And Marilyn HARERER
As the bell rings marking
lunch hour, hungry students
rush to the cafeteria line-up.
Probably most of these 300 cafe
teria patrons are not aware of
the work, time and money in
volved to give them this conven
ience.
Four district ladies are hired
to prepare and serve the meals.

The shifts are divided accord

In the main hall, the pupils
line up in an orderly fashion.

members of the various forms to

the cafeteria. Upon entering the
cafeteria the student has his tic
ket punched by Miss Doris
Swartz, the efficient secretary of
the high school, Next he takes
a tray from a neatly arranged
stack, and proceeds to fill it
with a tasty lunch. Eighteen
picnic-style tables, which were
made in the shop, are used to
seat the students. It takes about
15 minutes for 150 pupils to be
served.
Many people do not realize
the great quantity of food con
sumed in just one meal. About
30 pounds of meat and 100
pounds of potatoes are required
every day. Ice-cream 'bars are a
Wednesday treat. Along with the
main course, each pupil may
have two slices of bread (brown
and white), butter, and a small

When the School Board first
sponsored this service, they
worked on the hope that rev
enue would cover the cost of
the food. Last year the cost of
food and labor exceeded the
amount received from students’
meal tickets by about $2,100.
Part of the Agriculture grant to
the school is based on any loss
suffered in the operation of a
cafeteria for rural students. This
greatly decreased the loss for
the Board. For the labor and

supplies for the past year, the
Board paid out $,,12,480. The In
come from the sale of cafeteria
tickets was $10,350. It is easily
seen that this cafeteria is not
operated for a profit. The stu
dents of the high school are
fortunate to have nutritious
meals at a reasonable price.
Each Monday morning tickets
are purchased for $1.25 a week.
If these are brought for one or
two lunches, 30 cents per day
is the set charge. This year
there has been an average in
crease of approximately 40 stu
dents taking advantage of the
cafeteria.
Although school cafeterias are
becoming more common, many
high schools still do not provide
this benefit. We of South Huron
may be justly proud that we
have such a modern, well-
equipped and well-operated cafe
teria.

Moir, who played an outstanding
game, ran around right end for
a major score with the' aid of
masterful blocking. Don O’Brien

the score 6-0 for South Huron

ground attacks which took them
to the Listowel one-yard line.
After two unsuccessful attempts
to cross the line, Moir scored his
second touchdown of the game.
O’Brien again converted to make
the score 12-0 in favor of South
Huron. The homesters came
close again several other times
-but these attempts faltered.
The fourth quarter was high
lighted by many long passes by
both teams with ends Hicks and
Fletcher the main targets for
Exeter passers. A quick kick by
Bill White of Listowel gave them
a single point. The final score
read South Huron 12, Listowel
1.
One of the outstanding merits
of the game was the play of the
South Huron line. These lineman
do not' receive the praise they
deserve because their names are
never found in the scoring col
umn.
This victory placed South Hur
on in a tie for second place with
Listowel in the league standings,
each having won three and lost
three. Mitchell led the league by
winning five and losing one. St.
Marys was at the bottom of the
pack having only one victory in
six contests.
[blue jeans, plaid shirts, odd
socks and shoes are in evidence.
Events of the school day will | have a hilarious note since
1 everyone is asked to come to
class in "costume”. On this day
the girls must wear a man’s
shirt and tie, odd socks and
shoes. Girls with long hair must
braid it while those with shorter
hair must wear ribbons. In ad
dition, the boys are just waiting
to see their favorite gal without
her "pucker paint” since this is
to be abandoned for the day,
This may become known as the
unveiling.
On the other hand, girls will
have a chance to view
masculine "gams”
boys must wear
rolled to their knees, ties back
wards, odd shoes and socks. All
men who have yielded to the
present fashion trend for brush
cuts are asked to dig deep in
their mothers’ jewellery case to
acquire the longest, dangliest
pair of earrings possible. Boys
with longer hair must part it in
the middle,

Music for
