WI plan to attend euchre
They're still on the loose
I would like to bring out at this
time, a few things about winter
term sports at South Huron. To
settle all qualms about the
subject I will say that yes we do
have a basketball team. At the
same time we have girls'
volleyball teams and our ever
famous wrestling team.
The wrestling team does not
Feet
By DEREK MILLER
Feet will help you walk,
Although it would be nice if they
could talk.
When your feet get cold
The rest of you does too, so I am
told.
Sometimes your feet will smell
But-I'd rather smell than be in-
hell.
When you are outside with your
feet
You are probably standing on a
street.
Some feet are big, some are
small,
But when you have yours, just
hope you have them all.
If your feet are free, just think of
me
Now lets see you climb that tree.
In Wisconsin, safe,
accident-free drivers get their
licenses on special-color
paper.
It's reported that Calvin
Coolidge never drove faster
than 16 mph.
Frozen locks on doors and
trunks can be avoided by
squirting graphite into the
key holes.
Keeping the gas tank near full
in very cold weather helps
prevent frozen gas lines.
When driving long distances,
avoid heavy meals. They tend
to bring on drowsiness in a
hurry.
Before starting your Winter
vacation, why not let us
safety-check the buggy at Larry

seem to have any problems with
recruiting and they always have
a good winning team. I think this
is great that a few people can
generate enough push and team
spirit to win year after year.
The volleyball teams I don't
think have any recruiting
problems either, and I hear they
are doing a good job. As a matter
of fact even the junior basketball
team has a large number of
players and are learning the
game and developing their skills
well.
This brings me to the senior
basketball team. We do have
recruiting problems. After
asking several of the senior
members of our student body I
am content that I have heard
every excuse for not joining the
team. After all who likes to hitch-
hike home in the winter, at night.
Ask the juniors and the
wrestlers they'll tell you it's no
fun.
I get very upset when I hear
certain people extolling their
virtues and leading everyone to
assume that they have a great
deal of "school spirit." These are
the same people that speed home
at 3:10 and nip up to the local bar
every chance they get.
One of the lousiest excuses I
have heard is that no one wants to
play on a losing team. This is true
but nobody tries to make our
losing teams into winners, but
satisfied to let them roll downhill
to their doom.
So we will continue to try our
best with our 12 seniors (only 6 of
whom have even played before)
and hope for a miracle.
Dear Sir,
My regrets that I'm not a very
"Christian" student but at least I
have the gumption to put my
name on my articles. This letter
will not be as interesting or
written as cooly because I don't
have 500 articles sitting in front of
me to quote from.
I am thankful to our Christian
protector for his two cents worth
in the Guardian (last week) but I
wish that he would get his facts a
little straighter.
Contrary to popular belief our
school is not overrun with
acidheads (a freak or 2 maybe).
As "G.T." said "how many
grown-ups take dope around here
anyway,V referring to the one
point that "some kids take dope
to act grown-up."
As one knowledgeable student
put it, (among others) David
Wilkerson can shove it. Another
student "E.B." remarked upon
reading the article "it will not
convert anyone or change their
minds about using drugs, in fact,
it's turning them away front any
anti-drug programs.,

There seems to be a small band
of kleptomaniacs running loose
in South Huron.
In the old days the people with
what is more commonly called
"Sticky fingers" were satisfied
with pinching running shoes and
shoe laces, etc,
However in this more modern
age of kleptomania they seem
dissatisfied with and for the last
couple or three years have been
lifting "Cold , Hard" cash.
These clever little devils have
managed to lift money that was
to be used for clothes, doctor
hills, dentist bills, telephone and
hydro bills and just plain old
spending money. These pathetic
At the end of the woods
Just you and I there
In that spot, at the end of the
woods
Alone . . . but not quite,
Just away from the people,
Not away from nature, birds, the
brook.
And the squirrel darts across in
front of us
When it thinks it's far enough
away
It stops. And looks at us;
Not with a stare we get from
people
But an inquisitive, accepting look
One that I don't mind.
Then you reach out for my hand
and
happiness wells up inside of
me . . .
I feel I'm going to burst
If I don't tell you how I feel about
you
So I do,
I'm not afraid to talk to you like
this,
Because there's only you and I
there .
In that spot at the end of the
woods
Alone .except for the un-
demanding creatures
Who accept us for what we are
individually
And what we mean to each other.
If only people were like that - But
they're not,
If people would only accept us -
But they don't.
So why live on ifs?
Whenever we feel we can't take
people any more
Let's come back ...to this spot
At the end of the woods.
