FRUIT d NUTS WHITE BREAD 24-OR 17, LOAF DRESS RULES DISCUSSED The issue of free dress at Central Huron was decided at a student council meeting Tuesday. Mr. Homuth appeared to present his side of the case. He maintained that there should be a proper image of dress at an educational institution. However, certain girls as well as male students have no care for their image and persist in wearing sloppy apparel, Arguments were raised for and against free dress. A widespread opinion is that only a few students present this poor image and "free dress" should be instigated for the majority not the minority. Finally a resolution was made to the effect that all types of dress would be allowed for female students except jeans. The' principal' Stated' he 'would' still like to see the female, mi)11,1 seX. also asked the male section of the student body to review the type of clothes they wear. It has been noticed that many of the students have resorted to wearing the same clothes they wear in the barn! It probably saves them changing when they go home but is kind of detremental to liken an expensive school to a barn. Therefore, we appeal , to the students to come to school dressed the same way they would if seeking a job. "Damn your kind. Damn your insane mortal fears, Damn! that I should die so that your fears be quelled. I, who has done harm to not one of your black superstitious souls, indeed, I who has protected you from disease and poor yields for these twenty years past. Little do you know that but for me, this pitiful town would have disappeared long ago — flooded over in the wake of plagues and famines." The crowd grew, as ,people rushed from behind closed doors and shuttered windows, into the square. Old ladies fat and grey, men in work clothes covered with mud from their scanty fields, and children, held upon parents' shoulders so that they could see above the mob. The accused and condemned stood in the centre of the square, fastened tight to a large stake driven into the ground. Blood dripped from her wrists where the knots of the rope cut into her skin. She was clothed in a tattered, soiled gown of white, her long, black hair falling like dead shrubbery to her shoulders. Her face was blotched in patches of dried blood, but still held her youthful, captivating appearance. She turned her head slowly, eyeing the eager faces before her, seeing the old buildings — the bakery and cobbler shops, the church of The CHSS senior girls gained BAY JOLAND,E;:AMSING third place in the Huron-Perth ConferenCe wlth" a standing of six wins and three losses. Thrilled at making the semi-finals, an unexpected honour, the girls found out that they would be travelling to St. Marys to challenge an unbeaten team. With lots of school spirit and close calls the CHSS team won that game by, two points, The finals were played against Goderich. It was a two game total point series with a game played on each floor. The first game, played in Clinton drew many spectators and lots of cheering as the score see-sawed between the two strong teams. For many years these two ' teams have wrestled hard, neither team beating the other by outstanding scores. Clinton has been losing to this highly competitive team for years in a row but with the school behind the team and the cheering of the loyal fans, CHSS won their first game against Goderich by one point. It was more of a moral victory than anything for the Clinton girls. The next day saw them on their way to Goderich to play the second game. The final game was hectic and rough due to the tension and strain of both teams. Many fouls were called in that game and a few casualties were listed including a twisted ante and a black eye. Clinton, having beaten Goderich once, thought she might be able to do it again! And she did', by 12 points, The Huron-Perth Championship was Clinton's. It goes to show that the best things in life are not free, but unexpected! The girls could now advanee to the Western Ontario Meet last weekend. Friday night at 6;30 the first game was played between CHSS and a London Medway team, The girls from the north proved stronger and grey brick and the tall spire, reaching towards heavens, topped with a crucifix. She begged them; then cursed them and the crowd replied — chanting, joined together in one voice: "Burn witch. Burn!" The following morning ith CHSS team was to play against a London Glendale team. They played a good, nearly professional game and sent Clinton home with a 30 point loss. They went on to be the WOSAA champs. It was a good season, girls. Congratulations!. Thanks goes out to Mrs. Hannon for supplying us with chocolate bars and for being a great coach. Thanks also to our loyal fans who came to cheer for us in the final games. BY ANDREW AMSING Last Monday, the male basketball teams from Central Huron travelled to Stratford Northwestern for an exhibition game. The result of the excursion was a loss apiece by the midget and junior teams and a win by the senior teams. Since midget basketball is a sort of training ground for future junior and senior players, scores were not kept. However, although the team lost, the players gained valuable experience against opposition. All of the boys are first year students and are expected to progress rapidly into good players. The junior basketball team suffered from a lack of • rebounding. They played a tall,- rebounding Northwestern' team who outscored them 65-27. Scorers for Clinton were Bob Riehl with six, Steve 4. msing with five, Danny Colquhoun with six, Frank Cameron with seven; Rod Campbell with two and Harvey Stewart with two. The team may have to depend on speed and shooting to keep up with the bigger teams this year. The senior Redmen scored the only win against Northwestern 44-30. Although the playing was rough in places, Mr. Reidy did a good job in training the team. The offence is to be a fast-breaking' type. Defence could use work and the rebounding was excellent in spots. Scorers for the day were: Bartliff with 10, Craig with two, Cameron with 11, Lavis with 14, Dubler with four, Jewson with two, and MacDonald with one, Senior Redmen play Mitchell tomorrow.

The priest opened his book at random and read quietly as the flames grew, The wood crackled and the grey smoke blotted out the sun. She choked, coughed and screamed as the heat and the flames curled up, devouring her gown, scorching her hair and licking tauntingly at her tear-flooded, smoke-filled eyes. She screamed again, loud and shrill. The wind picked up the sound and carried it high above the town, then threw it back again and again in countless echoes, With the nauseous stench of burning flesh filling the air, the crowd drew back, step by step, until they were standing behind latched doors and windows. The fire died away. There were no more than whitecoats remaining, and from the bones covered in ash, a thin wisp of • grey smoke filtered up, wavered and disappeared. A crow, perched on the limb of a dead tree, cawed twice, then flew away. • CUSS girls win Huron-Perth crown b eat _the kMedyvayq tearri,112y, 19 points.
