Many and var­ ied have been the opinions ex­ pressed of intra-mural sport and competition between nearby school teams. In most high schools, there are many students who do not get a chance to play on school teams, mainly because of their being self-conscious and retiring. Despite the popular opinion of adults that high school students are smug and self-confident, a large percentage of these people are genuinely shy. Several of these pupils, if given the chance to participate in compulsory _ would lose some of their shyness and self­ gain training and experience needed intra-mural sports, consciousness as well as S.H.D.H.S HI-UGHTS Published and written week by students on the of “Ink Spot”, official book of South Huron District High School.

Kami Forum On Monday night the Revere Farm Forum members gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Kennedy to discuss “Farm Women in Public Life”. The forum thought women have a special contribution to bring to public affairs. Women create more interests in public affairs such as federation meet­ ings, . farm forums, etc. A woman should be interested in any pub­ lic work that would be of in­ terest to her Whole family. A woman who is active in community work can do a better home-making job than a woman who has no interest. A woman should show her in­ terest in public affairs by sup­ porting her husband in his pub­ lic activities, do not seem but, in a few interests may Mr. Hays el leader for Mr. Joan, spent Mrs. Andrew is spending a M e 11 e r s , Orville of London, William son, Ted, of Strat- Dunlop and Delmer Women of today 4o be interested years* time, more be taken.

Therefore, intra - mural sports could be used as so-called farm dubs teams. By means of these intra­ mural events, school spirit would be keener because everyone would be interested in the sport­ ing events. Some students, who do not “make” the school teams/ develop the feeling that they are not as good as the average com­ petitor and thus lag behind and seem uninterested when the time foi’ games arrives. However, by the use of this lagging ible because ticipate. Now don’t misunderstand me, don't think that I am wholly for intra-mural sport and against league competition. I think that league competition is equally im­ portant, as it gives the partici­ pant the chance to compete with and compare himself with the best athletes of other schools. Another advantage in league play is the opportunity afforded to form friendships among competitors. Would it not be advisable all those associated with for the school varsity intra-mural games, would not be poss- everyone would par- the for the sports activities of their respect­ ive schools to consider adding a more extensive intra-mural sched­ ule to their programs? More Walking, Less Riding (A Grade XII Editorial) By SHIRLEY PEARSON I think we of the twentieth century are lazy—very lazy! Our grandparents would “turn over in their graves” if they could witness the laziness of.their off­ spring. Mother has told me how my great-great - grandmother walked, home from town carrying a hun-* dred pound bag of sugar on her shoulder. How many of our “sweet, young things” could hoist such a burden that high? My grandfather walked a dis­ tance of nine miles to court my grandmother. Boys of would remain bachelors conditions prevailed. My father has driven the shipping yards walking most the entire eleven miles. If this task was given to our young men and women, I’m afraid the cattle would need get there. Many oldtimers hundreds of miles Why, then, are ent? With the invention of the automobile, man has become less dependent on “shanks - ponies”. In this, the machine age, it is an effort to walk to the corner to post a letter. Statistics show that the arms of the average man, today, are shorter than those of the cave­ man, simply because he doesn’t climb as many trees! Is it not, therefore, logical to assume that this era if these cattle to g al- a compass to have walked in their day. we so indol- bl St. Marys Edges Local Girls In Volleyball Series By MARGARET THOMSON The South Huron Senior Girls’ Volleyball team lost its chance at a W.O.S.S.A. championshii) when it was defeated Thursday afternoon by St. Marys in a round robin preliminary contest.

High scor­ er for St. Marys was Betty Whal­ ing with 10 points. Audrey Jor­ dan with six points. Close Score South Huron girls then played off with St, Marys. St. Marys came out victorious in this close­ ly fought game which gave them the right to enter W.O.S.S.A. our legs may become shorter if we persist in cramping them in an automobile? Besides, for the girls who are “figure-wise”, walking is a must. Incidentally, have you ever seen an athlete with a “pudge”? Let us all advocate more walk­ ing and less riding. Let us be sure that our sons and daugh­ ters will not -inherit, this “slug­ gishness ’. Let Us regain the re­ spect-of our forefathers. Let us have a part in building a strong, stalwart Canadian nation. Let me eat those words, “We are lazy”. competition in London on Satur­ day, The score for this game was St. Marys 24, South Huron 20. High scorer for St. Marys was Betty Murray with six points.
