For those who are not aware of the variety of activ- ities offered, I shall attempt to enlighten you. For the girls there is ma- jorettes, cheerleaders and the girls' chorus. For the boys there is football and the audio-visual club. For both boys and girls there is the orchestra, Bible club, chess club, curling club, drama club, paper staff, library club and any number of sports clubs such as badminton, track and field and golf. As you can see, there is some- thing to appeal to everyone's taste. One of the clubs men- tioned, the audio-visual club, is new this year. The members of this organization will handle the stage lighting and amplifi- cation. For school plays they will handle lighting and special ef- fects and other things needed to produce the technical aspects of a successful play. Mr. B. Shaw is the teacher in charge of the audio-visual club. Thursday, October 14, there was a pep rally held at the school to acquaint both old and new students with school cheers, songs and school colours. What exactly is a pep rally? Well, a pep rally is a mass meeting of students in order to gain support and enthusiasm for our school teams. It was well at- tended, but as always, more stu- dents could have appeared. Friday, Oct 15, the Junior Pan- thers played Stratford and won. The Senior Panthers played Stratford and unfortunately lost, but will come out fighting in their next game, which is against St. Marys,F riday, 0 ct 22, at South Huron. Once again the pub- lic is welcome. The Senior girls volleyball team won two out of four games played against Stratford and St. Marys, in St. Marys Saturday. The Junior girls won two of their games, defeating two teams from St. Marys. Keep it up girls! The SHDHS students are very proud of two young men from South Huron who competed in the International Plowing Match for Secondary Schools held at Mill- iken last week. Glen Miller and John Becker placed twelfth among the fifteen schools in the competition. They did very well when you consider that this was the first time they had ever entered a competition of this nature. The Grade 12 religion class, which has interested approxi- mately eighty students, will be- gin next Wednesday, Oct 20. These classes will be held once a month. If you have any comments or criticisms to make of this col- umn, please get in touch with me. Meanwhile, I'll see you next week.
