E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. The festival consisted of four one act plays: Ionesco's "The Leader", presented by F. E. Madill; T. S. Elliot's "Murder in the Cathedral", by Goderich Collegiate; South Huron's "Impromptu", and Richard Dunlop's "An Overpraised Season" presented by Central Huron. Even though the technical facilities of the Madill stage were severely limited,all of the plays came off well. You can really tell the good actors from the bad ones when the lights do not work as well as they should, and the stage is awkwardly placed. The particular gem of the afternoon was "Impromptu" and this was mainly due to the acting. Paul Martin, Kafhy Cook, John Blackwell and Jane Connon put on what one can only term a professional performance. With talent such as this in the school, we need not be afraid of producing any play. The play was also very aptly directed by Mrs. Golding and Mr. Murray. The sets fitted the play excellently and showed a great deal of imagination on the part of the stage crew. The best part of the afternoon I feel however was when the Adjudicator, Rick Welwood of the Drama Department of Fanshawe College, got up on the stage to give awards, and didn't. Instead he criticized all of the plays and gave the actors and directors an opportunity to answer his criticism. In his criticism of "Impromptu" he called it "the most impressive performance of the afternoon". I feel that this idea of talking about the plays: what was well done about them and what could have been done to make them better; was much more educational to the drama clubs than a simple presentation of awards. It also made the gathering seem more like an artistic event than an athletic meet. . . THE PANCAKE FLIPPERS — A large number of cooks were needed to prepare the necessary food for Saturday's pancake eating contest at the SFIDHS Winter Carnival. Shown above with potential pancakes are teacher Miss Barbara King and students Diane Adkins, Chuck Ford and Larry Shapton. T-A photo By MIKE FOREMAN Throughout the history of the Guardian we have been moved at least twice. Our first location was where the present day audiovision room down stairs is now, Our last location was the Student Council lounge. I say our last because we are now banned from there also. To clear up the question that is bothering the radical band of Guardians I made the following interviews and quoted them word for word. First our Vice-President of the Student Council; Richard Ottewell: When I told him he was about to be in- terviewed and not to leave the country he stated, "I knew it!" (meaning he knew he was to be questioned) "Is this going in the paper, or is it for your own benefit?" Now to get down to the problem at hand, "The reason why they aren't allowed in is because the whole student body should be allowed in or nobody. I don't think it's right that only a small minority be allowed in." (meaning Guardian Staff) So to sum that up he's stating, "student council only or else anybody at all should be allowed in," His other reasons are as follows. 1. Chocolate bars are located there and they wouldn't want to find any missing. 2, The Student Council is the future I ocationof the main stereo system (music is to be piped into the cafeteria) and they are afraid some records or the player its self might get damaged. So ended that interview, The next interview was with our fair haired President Doug Mock. I must admit he does have a good sense of humour, as you shall soon find out. Doug Mock ; I walked up to him in complete seriousness and said, "Doug, you're going to be in- terviewed for the paper." His reply was much to be desired! "SUPER!!! WHOOOPPPEE- !! ! OKAY WHAT WAS THE' Walking By MAU RA GASCHO Walking peacefully Down a snowy Street. All alone. My mind alive with Ideas and aspirations. My thoughts are Pierced by the Roaring of that new fad. Zooming before me over the Great snow waves, Which are now destroyed. It passes. Quietness overtakes the scene. I let my mind go. It seeks past events of My life And dreams of future happiness. Walking slowly, Again this tremendous noise Stabs the beautiful quietness of Falling snow. I wonder how this invention Can bring any joy to the owner. For what is ANYTHING if it Cannot bring joy and fulfillment? QUESTION YUK, YUK,!! IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH?" As if asking me if that was okay and if that answered any of my questions! "Why is the Guardian staff not ot aRll000wmel,, din the Student "Why are they not allowed in the Student Council Lounge? Well, Mainly because we have THINGS; IS THIS in the paper? such as chocolate bars, which . . are worth money to us.

Right?" Soended another stimulating interview. Well in general it seems they 1 Dear Sir: 1. Parents were not strict enough or their home life was bad. 2, A desire to do what their friends did and to conform to the crowd — "TO BE IN." 3, To show off or act grown up. 4. Experienced something new "for kicks." 5. Escape from reality. 6, Dope is easy to get. 7. Nothing better to do. 8. A way of getting even with parents. Rev. David Wilkerson, after 10 years of working with drug ad- dicts, offers the following 5 reasons teens tell him they used drugs: 1. Curiosity — seeking an unusual thrill or just to know what it feels like. 2. Ignorance — they go along with the crowd but are not aware of the dangers. 3. A desire to be accepted — to cover up feelings of inadequacies or rejection by parents. 4. Escapism — to pacify guilt, ,inferiority complexes, or deep "emotional problems. 5. Victimized — Adolescents who easily conform by social pressures to experiment or are afraid to be called "chicken" It becomes obvious that drug taking is but a symptom of various real or imaginary problems, Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me though he die yet shall he live again, and whoever Can being "in" make you content With yourself?

They both wanted to know if this article was going to be published. 2. They both feared the safety of their chocolate bars and the stereo system, Which I feel is a good reason not to allow us in, although I don't think we are the dishonest as to walk off with chocolate bars or that we are as ill trained by our parents as to damage a $300 stereo system. They both feared that an espionage ring would infiltrate their grounds and find out how much we are indebt or what their plans are for laying on the student body. Maybe they are planning a great bash and don't want us to know about it, so it's stamped "TOP SECRET," and we ALL know what the penalty in this country is for espionage, Right? lives and believes in me shall never die." Christ takes the fear out of the experience of death. "A Christian Student" Carnival a success By KEN LEE As you probably already know this past weekend saw the annual S.H.D.H.S. winter carnival. This year most aspects, except the weather, were a success. The bands were better and there was more of them, the coffee house was much improved and there were a few new things added. This year was the first year that we had rented the arena and students were able to skate to their hearts content until 2:00 a.m. Considering the number of people in attendance there was relatively little trouble and no serious problems of any kind. There was of course the usual drunks but these were handled very easily by the cool prefects and teachers and caused no trouble at all. This must have been one of the few social events I've ever at- tended where there were ab- solutely no fights or fighters. Even the guests from the college and from other schools co- operated excellently. The teachers' stretch of wins over the grade 13's in the broomball game was promptly cut off when the thirteeners slaughtered them 6 - 2. For this entire weekend we are deeply indebted to Doug Mock who was here all the time and seemed to do just about everything, and to Richard Jennison and RichardOttewell as well as the many teachers and Mr. Wooden who helped out a great deal. Dear Editor, On Thursday, January 13, we were all struck with news of the death of our friend, Allan Gill, During that afternoon, I noticed the atmosphere at our school was one of emptiness, loss and regret. Al was known throughout the school, as an all-around nice guy. One who wouldn't hurt anyone for all the money in the world. As I knew Al very well, I was moved greatly by the atmosphere here at South Huron as one of reverence for him. I was so moved, that I wrote a poem; A tribute to Al, our friend. I am hoping you will print this as a tribute to him. AI, Our Friend It was only yesterday When he and I Were laughing and talking together The best of friends . And now it's over I've lost a friend. He was only eighteen When on a winter's night That Al, our friend Had lost his life. Why did he have to die? No one knows, They say God's ways are mysterious And now we understand What they mean. Al never did anyone any harm He was gentle and kind, Name winner of Outers draw Winner of the S.H.D.H.S. Junior Outers Snowmobile Suit draw was Jim Welsh of 87 Gidley Street, Exeter. The Junior Outers are ex- tremely grateful to everyone who purchased tickets for the draw and would like to express their sincere thanks for all the support received. The Junior Outers would also appreciate the general public's support by sponsoring them in a Snowshoe-a-thon. The event will take place, weather permitting, on Saturday, January 29. The group will be leaving from S.H.D.H.S. at 8:00 a.m. with an objective of Snowshoeing a maximum of 20 miles. A person with love and concern. For all mankind. Arid we ask ourselves One more time Why it was Al that had to die, Surely there are people worse than he Who don't deserve their life. Al was our friend 'Yours and mine. I hope we all Will always remember Al our friend- Our friend who died So soon in life. -A friend of Al's 744rieem, 4 Reed Edettee?
