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 Snider Motors.

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., "H.M." said "Why doesn't this stupid read the Sacred Mushroom and the Cross where it By.MIKE FOREMAN 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?

Credit must be given to the weatherman who was thinking winter and donated sun and first class snow conditions. Of the 30 skiers, 12 were novice ski bunnies who blitzed the "moguls" and added a variety of "sitzmarks" to the slopes, Here's to More snow and the '76 Olympics. says that dear J, C. was a Magic Mushroom freak, the biggest in history." All in all I'd say that the student that is so concerned about our well being doesn't know what he's talking about, yours truly, R.

It's pot just the boys locker rooms that are getting hit hut also the girls locker rooms have been struck by the "locker room marauders." Through trial and error, methods, members of the school body (innocent or non-innocent) have regrettably discovered that leaving your possessions in the phys ed, office doesn't help much either, for the "marauders" manage to infiltrate these places no matter how big the lock, It's partly the victims fault that this happens. If the victims would learn to leave their valuable Night-time escape My steps were rushed Impatient to get going I knew not where But I knew one thing, I had to go somewhere And I had to find it fast, There was ice under the powdery snow I was heedless, too involved, and fell It stopped my tormenting thoughts abruptly And I noticed my sensuous surroundings.
