HDHS forum
Students want second gym,
teen town, honors system
(This forum appeared in the
recent issue of Ink Spot", SH -
DHS year book.
"What one improvement would
you like to see in our school
and why?"
This; question was asked a
number of students and a major-
ity of them experienced the •
same first reaction. They con-
strued their faces into expres-
sions of deepest thought and
then slowly allowed their coun-
tenances to put- on a beautiful,
bland expression.
The sequel to this was a very
laconic, very boring statement:
"I don't know, the school suits
me just the way it is." This, of
course. is a great credit to our
facilities and our faculty, but no-
thing, not even SHDHS. is per-
fect. Some students, realizing
this, made the following re-
sponses to the above question.
Keith Hodgins (12A) approach-
ed the subject from the athletes'
toint of view. He felt that an -
able thinking of her brother
when ,she stated: 'It would be
nice if, in some way, the cafe-
teria meals could be more varied
without raising the expense."
Wayne Bowen (12) wants to
"get rid of that blankety blank
barberry bush out in front. 1 al-
most killed myself getting a
book out of there the other day
when Fink threw it out the win-
dow." Wayne is supported in this
view by another naturalist, Bill
Cocker.
Sandra Reid MB.) states: "1,
think we should have a new ac-
tivity program or else have the
students dismissed at 3:15. •
Enough time is not allowed in
our present program for it to
derive the fullest benefit for the
majority of students."
• Bill Systme (10A) also gave
an "athletic answer" to the
question. He said: "It's a pretty
good school as it is, but never-.
theless the track should be
im-
proved. When you run around
the track you don't know whether
you're on the track or on the
lawn. Now, mind you, that big
mass of green on the track
looks very nice but it's in the
wrong place.
Roy Smith (10D) wants the.
whole academic course revamp-
ed. He desires "a course of
shop, library, gym and English."
(s' funny he didn't replace Eng-
lish with Health.)
other gymnasium was needed,
because, in the winter particu-
larly, there is nothing for the
students to do at noon hour ex -
cc -pt wander about the halls. He;
also felt that. because of lack of
facilities, our intramural and!
physical training programs have
reached a point where they no
longer derive the greatest bene -
bit for the student.

They'll miss the Smiths at
Trout Lake this summer
Everyone on Trout Lake knew and liked the
Smiths. You'd see them up at their cottage every
weekend, -you'd hear the children's carefree laughter
echoing across the lake. And Mr. Smith never
failed to give you a friendly wave as he cruised by
in his boat.
But Trout Lake won't see the. happy Smith
family any:more . , all because Mr. Smith was in a
hurry to get up to the cottage for the weekend. He
left at night and drove too fast . . and there was
an accident!
The Smith's cottage is for sale now. And it
needn't have happened!
is it worth your life and your family's jut to get
to the cottage a few minutes earlier? Remember,
you have a whole summer for fun and relaxation—
don't, try to squeeze in a few extra minutes by
driving carelessly!
Your Ontario Department of Transport urges
you to observe the speed limits. And when driving
at night, always lower your headlights when ap.
proaching or following another motor vehicle.
