Do your buying at Walpers, that's how. There must be a reason why
so many young men shop regularly at Walpers. It's true. More young
men outfit themselves at Walpers than any other store in South Huron
This makes Walpers the largest exclusive .men's wear in South Huron
which in turn helps insure the largest selection, the latest trends, ex-
pert fitting and tailoring AND the lowest prices. Season after season
more young men in preparing for back to high school or back to college
stop first of Walpers, The smart young fashions come from Walpers.
Palmer -
By Elizabeth Gosar
My past five years at South Huron District High
School have passed quickly. I can honestly say they were
enjoyable years and I have many happy memories.
In order for school to be a highlight of your life
instead of a time filled with despair you must have the
right attitude towards education and secondly you must
participate in extra-curricular activities.
What is the right attitude towards education? Every-
one's opinion is different but for one thing you should
decide that even if you don't like school, you might as
well do your best anyway instead of just wasting your
own time as well as the teacher's.
A final
column
You should remember that
homework is assigned for your
benefit and should be done. Just
because the teacher doesn't check
it every day is no reason not to
do it. By the time you enter high
school, they believe that you are
mature enough to realize that
you should do your homework.
The teachers are there to help
you and if you ever need extra
help most of them would willingly
stay a few minutes after school or
at dinner time to assist you.
You should attend school regu-
larly.
Once you have assumed the
right attitude towards your edu-
cation, you must decide to par-
ticipate in some extra-curricular
activities. School is not only a
place of learning and this fact
should be remembered.
It is by participation in these
other activities that you become
better acquainted with your
classmates. By working on pro-
jects with them you come to
understand them better and you
learn the value of co-operation.
Participation in activities also
helps you to develop your own
distinctive personality.
GREAT VARIETY
Our school has a great variety
of activities to offer the students
and there should be at least one
to interest each student.
For those who enjoy sports
there is track and field, volley-
ball, basketball, wrestling, curl-
ing, badminton, football and
cheerleading. Besides these ac-
tivities there is a drama club,
a glee club, an orchestra, a
Bible club and a chess club.
Those who are interested in
library work may become li-
brarians and those who are able
to twirl batons may join the ma-
jorettes. Thus somewhere inthis
extensive list there should be an
activity to interest everyone.
These activities help you to
develop your skills and talents
in other fields rather than a strict
academic pursuit.
Thus if you assume the right
attitude towards education and
participate in some extra-cur-
ricular activities, I don't see how
school could he anything but a
highlight of your life and a time
you'll always remember.
NEED GUIDANCE
Although there is a wide range
of subjects at our school, there
is not enough guidance for the
students. Many students are not
aware of the many fields which
they may enter upon graduation
from Grade 13.
Many find out too late that they
are taking the wrong subjects
and so are not able to enter the
field they had planned upon.
One way to solve some of the
career problems is to have a
Career Day such as we did one
year or to have different speak-
ers visit the school during the
year.
It is much more interesting to
hear someone speaking about his
profession or his trade than to
read about it in some book. It
also gives you an opportunity to
have those questions answered
which you don't find answered
in books.
It was such a lecture which
made me decide what I wanted
to do in the future. Therefore
I hope that this year there will
be more guidance for the stu-
dents.
WE LACK SPIRIT
There is a definite lack of
"school spirit" and while every-
one is aware of it, no one actually
does much to solve the problem.
Perhaps one way to solve it
would be to have more direct or
audience participation in compul-
sory and extra-curricular school
activities.
Although "school spirit" may
be revealed the most clearly at
football and basketball games
when the entire student body is
cheering with the cheerleaders,
it should also be present in the
classroom. This means no
grumbling every time homework
is assigned.
Perhaps this year U the stu-
dents and teachers work together
i•school spirit" may be revived.
One reason for the lack of it
last year occurred when only the
girls could attend the girls' bas-
ketball games and only the boys
could attend boys' basketball
games. This happened because
there was not enough room in the
gymnasium to seat everyone.
However, maybe this year con-
ditions may be different.
CAN'T COMPLAIN
But there is not really much at
our school which I could complain
about and I think we are fortunate
to have this building in our town.
I always found the teachers
very willing to help me if I had a
problem and it is reassuring to
know that they are interested in
you.
I hope that our Commencement
will not be dropped. Although it
took a great deal of time pre-
paring for it, at the end it was
worthwhile and many of the stu-
dents were able to participate in
it.
The Formal is another high-
light of our school year and it is
climaxed by the crowning of our
school queen.
Everyone should attend the
Formal at least once if it is at
all possible, for to miss it is to
miss part of your school life.
In conclusion I would like to
thank all the teachers and stu-
dents who helped me when I
needed it in writing my weekly
column.

house system and it will be as-
signing students to the houses
and explaining the system after
school begins.
Personally I am very interest-
ed in all kinds of sports and I
hope that these are not promoted
at the expense of other activities.
I just happened to catch a part of
"Sing A Song" on CFPL-TV this
week and would like you to know
that Don McKellar and I played
in the school orchestra when we
were at St. Thomas Collegiate
Institute. Maybe this will be some
assurance to the students who like
activities other than sports.
The Times-Advocate has been
very obliging in announcing our
new teaching staff for September.
I expect that the total number of
staff will be 42 as compared to
30 last year. The increased
number is needed to teach the
new subjects and the six new
programs being offered. It is
also necessary because Mr. At-
kinson, the Technical Director
and I need free time to super-
vise and equip the new addition.
In addition to these the public
need to realize that the staff has
to have more time to prepare
courses than under the general
course. If mathematics is taken
as an example there will be 15
different courses taught this year
at South Huron; and no teacher
can be expected to teach more
than five very effectively.
With the increase in enrolment
heads of departments need time
to supervise their subject area
and to assist the many new teach-
ers that are entering the teaching
profession.
One other matter that interests
all students and their parents is
examinations. There will be a
major change from the past in
examinations.
There will only be two sets of
examinations for all students ex-
cept the grade thirteen. These
will be in the last part ofJanuary
and June. There will be no recom-
mendations in June. Therefore
students will write examinations
in every subject in June.
Parents may expect reports
(1) at the end of November based
on one or two-period length tests,
regular testing and daily work;
(2) at the end of February based
on the raid-term examinations
and term work; and (3) at the end
of June based on the final ex-
aminations and the whole year's
work.
ENCOURAGE RETURN
In conclusion I would like to en-
courage any young person or adult
to continue their formal educa-
tion. If any member of my staff
or myself can give you informa-
tion or advice please telephone
the school and arrange an inter-
view.
I especially encourage students
who have left school for one or
two years and who would like to
look into returning to school to
come and talk it over with us,
You might be amazed by the op-
portunities and subjects that are
open to you now that were not
available two or three years ago.
I cannot stress too often that
we exist to'teach and are willing
to teach any person who is will-
ing to be taught. Indeed, South
Huron District High School has
an excellent motto "Finis Opus
Coronat" that freely translated
into English means, "The goal
makes the work worthwhile".
