JOE STOPS FOR A REST, TOO — One of the smallest participants in Saturday's SHDHS walk to 1-lensall and back was Joe, a canine owned by Ted Skinner of Crediton. Joe who drew sponsors worth $1.20 per mile is shown with his master and Al McLean and Pete Mason as they stop part way for a breather.

The two youngsters who completed the 12-mile jaunt in one hour and 20 minutes are showing checking in at the finish with Judy llurke and teacher Bruce Shaw. T-A photo Editorial South Huron's voice By JUDI MALONE Editor A former editor of the New York Times once said that a newspaper can neither rise above nor fall below its staff. This year the paper staff has decided to accept the generous offer of printing our paper as a supplement to The Exeter Times-Advocate, This idea has raised protest from some students who feel that the Guardian will lose its identity incorporated with a larger newspaper. These people fail to realize that if the Guardian were printed as an individual newspaper it would risk losing more than its identity — but its very life! Last year's paper failed to sell not because of the quality of the content but because of complete indifference from the students. They could not scrape together ten cents and a little enthusiasm each month to support the paper. There are advantages in issuing the Guardian as a supplement to the T-A. Our news will be current and therefore of more interest to the students. It should guarantee that every student will read the paper. Student reporters will be able to display literary talents in one of Ontario's leading weekly newspapers. Parents of the students will be able to penetrate the red brick walls and learn exactly what their children are involved in. The Guardian wants to be more than a record of events. It should express the voice of South Huron. Producing a paper that will satisfy each and every individual within the student body is not an easy task. We don't want to make any promises that won't be fulfilled. But we will print articles and features which we think you will find interesting. The S.H.D.H.S.

Others suggest that wall to wall carpeting, piped 'n stereo, floor length curtains and wall murals might greatly add to the general impression of opulance. A topic of considerable debate around the school is whether South Huron will ever again host a dance. The last dance proved to be the kind of event that the school does not want to be responsible for. Obviously students are not entitled to "flow" in and out of the gymnasium on Friday nights. Commencement night for 1969 will be on October 24. Most of last year's graduates and the people who hope to graduate this year will be on hand to receive their diplomas.

Thursday afternoon turned out to be a very cool day, but it was one of the brightest of the season for the two football teams at South Huron District High School. On the Huron Park gridiron, the SU clubs hung up their first double victory of the season. In the first half of the doubleheader, Ron Bogart's senior Panthers won their first game after three consecutive losses and kept their playoff hopes alive by trouncing St. Marys District Collegiate 50-6. The junior Panthers continued their winning ways outscoring St. Marys 33-12 to maintain an unbeaten record for the year. Doug Ellison's juniors were in Listowel yesterday, Wednesday to meet the only other previously undefeated team in the Huron-Perth Conference junior ranks. The senior Panthers travel to Clinton today, Thursday to tackle Huron Central. START QUICKLY The junior Panthers wasted little time in Thursday's contest in getting on the scoreboard. In the first five minutes of play they were out in front 14-0. Doug Mock took the first St. Marys punt and rambled back 40 yards for the first major score of the game. Moments later, a St. Marys backfielder was trapped in his own end zone for another two points for South Huron. The next time the locals got their hands on the ball, Don Truemner went five -yards off tackle to up the score to 14-0. St. Marys came back with an unconverted touchdown before the first half ended. Murray Glanville scored the third South Huron touchdown early in the third quarter on a quarterback sneak after Randy Preszcator had put the ball in scoring position on a 29-yard gallop. Dave Cyr took a 15-yard screen pass for another Panther six-pointer and John Verkerk In my opinion By JOY WHITEFORD In the last federal election Mr. Trudeau indicated the possibility of lowering the voting age to eighteen. In the provincial elections of four provinces: Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan, 18-year-olds are thought to be capable of choosing between candidates. In Alberta and British Columbia, the minimum voting age is nineteen years. If eighteen is acceptable on the provincial level, why should it not be so on the federal level. Instead of condemning the Montreal Police Department we should admire them for it took great courage to stage a wild cat strike. The incident has been building up for some time. Could it have been avoided if our 'responsible citizens' had shown some concern. The public should realize from this demonstration that the government can not assure it the necessary civil service unless the civil servants are treated as first class citizens. * * * How much voice students should have in school activities is a question that arises every fall. Many teachers feel that if students were given a free hand they would disregard all established rules. Can they be certain? They don't give students a chance to decide issues on their own. No matter how fully behind the student council we are, the principal still has the final say. Is this the way a democratic society is run? I say no! FLASH — Our correspondent, Cheryl Shoji reports in to the newsroom that all is well on the Bolton scene. Further bulletins to be relayed as soon as available. blocked a St. Marys punt and fell on it in the end zone for the final touchdown. Larry Bourne booted the convert to complete the South Huron scoring. BREAK LOOSE The senior Panthers went on their wildest scoring streak of the season scoring no less than eight touchdowns in their 50.6 romp over St. Marys. The first score came when Chuck Snider grabbed a St. Marys pass and romped 22 yards for a touchdown. Ron Corriveau booted the convert and the Panthers were in front 7-0. Tom Prout fell on a St. Marys By ELIZABETH COOK Last Summer is a highly unorthodox presentation of today's youth for although it is extreme, it is essentially realistic. It successfully exposes adolescence in all of its idealism, candor and brutality. Complex inter-relationships develop between the two boys and two girls of the film, ironically located in a sea-side resort setting where life is traditionally simple. However, if the characters are typical teenagers, then all youths are violently dangerous hedonists. All of the characters are neurotics; they come from unstable or unusual family backgrounds and, in general, one can feel only disgust and profound pity for such utterly confused "children". One of the girls is compassionate, warm, and sensitive. The others are too sophisticated to be human. They are motivated by the arrogance, self-confidence, and ruthlessness of the cold but beautiful girl. Fascinated by her sex, the two boys can be motivated to do anything to prove that they are not only worthy to be her "attendants" but ultimately her suitors. The tragedy exists in the only boy who has the potential to be receptive, sympathetic and emotional but after being torn between the idealistic altruism of the ugly girl and the aggressive animal instincts of the beautiful girl, he submits to the "pack". fumble for the second Panther touchdown. The third South Huron major came on an, exciting 85-yard run by Ron. Janke a kick-off. Corriveau was again successful on the convert attempt, The next two major scores came on short plays. Dave Marshall ran over from three yards out and Joe O'Rourke took a five yard pass into the end zone. - Barry Baynham took a 16-yard pass for another six-pointer and Ron Janke completed the South Huron scoring with his second and third touchdowns of the afternoon. These people, then are the products of a "physical" society. They understand themselves no better than they understand the adult society which they condemn. They have become paradoxically both stoics and epicureans merely as a means of self-protection. The movie is excellent in its tender, cynical, yet honest treatment of modern day's youth. It may seem disturbing to those with traditional views on morality. However, in exposing the 'experimental' corruption, the film is attempting to condemn AND justify the immorality which has originated in a chaotic, perverted society. This school is a drag By MIRIAM CUTLES SHDHS has a problem. The blame does not lie with the administration or with the teaching staff. The fault is within the student body. The problem? This school is a drag. There is nothing to do unless you happen to be a sports fiend. Other schools have school bands, drama clubs, art groups, show current movies and hold debates on current events and human situations. They have chess clubs, record clubs, photography clubs. They sponsor Biafra relief funds, underground newspapers and coffeehouses. They have one thing which this school hasn't got: students who are interested and show the initiative to do their own thing. South Huron has football teams, volleyball teams, basketball teams, track and field events, and participants in golf and badminton tournaments. So does every other high school in Canada! But what if sports isn't your bag? A school should have more to offer than the required courses. How many teachers have devoted time to clubs and projects that have eventually fizzled because people would not come to the meetings. Or they would go to the meetings but they would not volunteer to help out. Or they would volunteer to help and then fail to carry out their obligation. It is no longer up to the teachers to try and prod the student bodyin to showing some signs of life, Stop moaning that "they" never do anything at this school and that "they" aren't interested in Anything. It is quite obvious that "they" is "you"!! RON JANKE . . scores three majors U.S.. should feed starving By STAN RAWLINGS Two weeks ago, 1,000 university students from Sarnia and London lined up at the 13luewater Bridge at Sarnia. The purpose was to block all traffic coming in to Canada from the United States, for one hour. This was in protest to the exploding of the bomb off the Aleutian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. There have been many student protests of late because the older generation is responsible for the mess and turmoil in the world today. Now the younger generation is questioning this and is trying to take action against it. The student protest at Sarnia was typical of these movements. The Canadian students were concerned for the safety, of their country since the explosion' could have set off natural earthquakes or sesmic sea waves to damage Vancouver Island and the west coast. I, as a student, feel strongly that if the United States has so much money, they could use it to help feed their starving population or on foreign aid. Instead they would rather waste the money on testing nuclear weapons for wanton killing. They endanger Canada, Alaska and Japan. Infuriated students carried such signs as "Keep Canada Dry" and "Yankee War Manager Go Home!" One lady found it necessary to express her own anger by ramming her car in to the midst of the student blockade. In this case, I feel that both the lady in the car and the students on the road were in the wrong. The students had the right to stage a peaceful demonstration and to voice their opinions. But they did not have the right to interfere with public transportation. They displayed immaturity by shouting obscenities and throwing rocks at the car involved. Octobor. 23, 1969 .Faye 13 Wolkoth on for school charity The :Students' Council of SUM held a. walk to .raise MOM)! for the various charitable. activities which they sponsor.
