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

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.

Therefore, intra - mural sports
could be used as so-called farm

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/

Another advantage in league

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

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

spect-of our forefathers. Let us
have a part in building a strong,
stalwart Canadian nation. Let
me eat those words, “We are
