Everest on stilts. Girls found
themselves leaning against
doorways, water fountains,
walls, desks, anything.
Though anxiety about
panty-hose and slips showing
drove the girls to distraction, the
boys scarcely felt concern about
these side-effects. They were
enjoying themselves electing new
presidents for the newly-formed
Girl Watching Society every
week. , There was definitely a
problem. The feeble voice of the
females had to be heard over the
authoritative voice of the males,
Something had to be done.
"Equality, liberty,
fraternity," was the cry. "Let us
wear dress slacks and pant suits.
They are warmer and more
comfortable. Liberate us!"
Shocking? maybe ...
revolutionary? _ hardly. Surely
many of our ancestors wore
slacks to keep out the biting
winds of the bitter cold
Canadian winters. Although
modern transportation has
reduced the problem it has not
been eliminated altogether.
There are some who still
employ the natural means' of
locomotion to get to where they
are going, For those who depend
on progress for transportation,
patient but cold waits are in
store for them every morning
when the snowplow blows a tire
or has any other such disaster.
Slacks would solve many
problems for both sexes
although the boys wouldn't be
very enthusiastic about it all.
The perfect answer! The skirt
tugging days would be over.
There would be less
discrimination between the sexes
in the classroom. School work
would progress normally. Boys
would fall back into the old
routine of sleeping when the
teacherssAmsseXPOSOISling „upon p
insignificant detaili of a .sleelY,'
and entirely useless subject. The
girls could go back to fidgeting
with their hair instead of their
skirts.
But, what's this! They are still
wearing minis. I thought they
wanted to weer slacks. A typical
reply went ' thus: "Leave the
equality stuff to the French!
Besides, you wouldn!t want me
to lose my femininity, (pause)
would you?"
What a mad, mad world!

The proper schoolmarm of
arlier centuries would be very
hocked if she ever had a glimpse
nto one of today's
ultra-modern, government-run,
very important high schools.
The proper dresses and
inafores of her students have all
but disappeared. In their stead
we see micro-minis ... (actually
they axe hard to see if you didn't
have your glasses on).
They have made a noticeable
impact on school society. The
boys are all very wide awake and
alert, even in chemistry class
since the mini became stylish.
They visit water fountains
religiously sometimes not to
move again until the next class is
well under way.
Occasionally some forget to
doze off in math class. In spite
of the alert look in most of the
eyes of the male population
marks seemed to be dropping.
No one could understand it until
a young, handsome, unmarried
teacher arrived one day, fresh
out of university. He had this
far-out idea about banning the
mini in class to get the marks of
the boys up to their all-time low.
The solution was a little drastic
though. The males of the school
decided to think it over ... taking
their time, naturally.
But, what about the other
side of the problem ... the girls,
(there is another side, you
know). Sitting down in a desk
had become a major "mission:
impossible." Disaster struck each
time a• pencil happened to slip
out of a girl's hand. Answering a
question on the upper part of
the blackboard was faced with
much the same kind of despair
yet determination as would
warrant the climbing of Mt.
Senior girls
in finals
,BY JO LANDE AMSING
Most people would rather
remain in bed when a Friday and
a 13 hit on the same day but for
some it proved to be a very
lucky day.
While the citizens of Clinton
were avoiding ladders and black
cats the senior girls basketball
team enthusiastically challenged
the top team in the semi-final
play-,offs. The CHSS girls
became the number one team in
Huron-Perth, that day, by a
score of '80-28.
At half time the Clinton team
was leading by 10 points.
However St. Marys woke up in
the second half and tied the
game at 28.28 with one minute
of play left in the game. A time
out was called right after a foul
was committed against the
Clinton team. Jolande Aiming
scored on the two shots.
Chris Hartley was high scorer
for the day with eight ,points.
Sandra Graham, Nancy Pickett
and Jolande Amsing scored six
points apiece for CHSS.
Having won the semi-finals
the girls meet Goderich in the
finals on Wednesday. and
Thursday. Two games will be
played with the total points
winner the champions of the
Huron-Perth League. The first
two teams of every conference
will be represented in the
W.O.S.A,A. meet on Saturday in
London: Whether the girls win
or lose to Goderich they will
represent MSS in the Western
Ontario Meet.

would be a campaign for Cook
to get into office somewhere.
They're all wrong. It was for
plain, good old-fashioned fun.
This is how the Kinsmen initiate
their-new members.
Twelve new members were
taking part in these initiation
ceremonies. They were the
suckers in the parade, Asked if
he minded all the fun poked at
him, he replied with a cheerful
no saying that next year he
could in turn initiate someone.
The initiated carry out the
menial jobs in order to get the
nights festivities under way,.

A course on Baby Sitting
Responsibilities was held at CFB
Clinton recently. The course was
sponsored by the Base Fire
Department, and was openi,te

The course consisted of four,
two and a half hour sessions.q It
was mandatory that the
candidates attended all four
sessions, in order to successfully
complete the course.
The first session dealt with
the danger of medicines and
pills, anidotes, first aid for minor
cuts and injuries, and
mouth-to-mouth resusitation.
The second session consisted
of child care, particularly the

In todays jumpy world
parades can mean riots,
demonstrations, violence and
once a year Santa Claus. Not so
in Clinton.
Tuesday evening Constable
Wayne McFadden drove a
shining blue police car with
lights flashing through the main
streets of town to the
Community Centre. A small
band of two members, a
drummer and a trumpeter,
followed close behind. Someone
should check their credentials as
musicians, though. Either they
didn't know a "C" from a "G"
or they were playing ,"modern"
music in which anything is
allowed.
At any rate the single line of
12 men dressed in workmen's
clothes which marched happily
along behind the band
occasionally raised their voices
in merry disharmony trying to
sing the Centennial Canadian
song!
John Jordan made like a pied
piper and 'a 'safgeant-major (an
obAOUSe' Viiiiee-because of his
non-military background)
swinging a huge baton and
stepping high. The funny
looking men all carried place
cards and signs of all sorts. Some
pleaded with listeners to vote for
Cook, others condemned the
owner of being a dumb, dumb,
DUMB man, or lunatic and a
fink. It was all very strange.
It didn't seem to be a
demonstration caused by
chicken prices falling or a riot
caused by the unwillingness of

from the closed meeting by
President Don Hall a few thrills
were being planned for the 12
new members.
The Kinsmen have 45
members in total and meet every
two weeks. The community has
them to thank for many
activities they sponsor, They are
helping to sponsor the Santa
Claus display for the kiddies and
they repair toys.to give to needy
children.
John Jordan says:"By next
spring ball lights will be in the
-park.
No doubt about it." The
Kinsmen are an active group in
this community:
changing of diapers and clothing.
The third session was
employed to outline security,
and emergencies concerning the
po4e, fire prevention, fire,
haiards;
alairdS.
The final session was a
discussion on infant and toddler
care and handling.
Forty-five teenagers registered
for the course and forty-two
successfully completed the
requirements and • received
graduation certificates.
Parents in Adastral Park will
now be relieved of worry when
leaving one of these competent
baby sitters to care for their
children.
