So bring your gym suit and sneakers to the old gym dressing room, Monday at 3:30, Everyone is welcome. I would like to quote the description of our routine as written, by the staff of the yearbook: "After long hours of practicing, perfecting, giggling and seriousness, it was ready. The big day came and with it many stressed faces, and butterflied stomachs. South. Huron was called onto the field and they were off to an excellent start. The coach looked on from the sidelines with "oohs and ahs" of delight at the perfection of the stunts. The girls came off the field leaving behind them the satisfaction of an excellent performance. The judges put their heads together for the huge task of deciding a winner. The judge came onto the field with the The Activity Beat A BIG GROUND GAINER - Dave Lovell with a total of 94 yards gain- ed on nine carries led the rushing for the South Huron senior Panthers in Saturday's 40-6 win over Strathroy.

After each individual had been described, the couples performed some fantastic jitter-bugging to the crazy beat of the hit song, "Stalin". While the models were off preparing for their second showing, President Brad Oke, returned to describe for us, the steps involved in becoming a class representative on the student council. Each class chose one rep. and one alternative to fill these positions on Friday, M. Fago and the models then returned with suggestions on what to wear for the second day of initiation . . . something to deal with your favorite sport. It just happened that the girls' favorite sport was wrestling and on they paraded with their Bulgarian knit wrestling outfits and Polish Headgear. After a few moves, (possibly taught to them by our great wrestlers???) the wrestlers made their way off the stage only to be replaced by three lovely twinkling ballerinas. Spike, Crusher and Rocky had certainly changed and they suddenly athletic organizations have begun, Last Thursday, the Conservation Club kicked off its year, with a guest speaker, Roger Martins of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority speaking to the members. Also on Thur- sday last, the Home Economics Club held its first meeting. The junior and senior girl's and boy's Outers have also held their first meetings, All clubs who desire Guardian coverage, are, requested to leave the information in the special box in the office. By KATHY De JONG In the beginning this "column" may appear to be quite trivial, worthless, and utterly unim- portant. nut, as you read on, you will suddenly become aware that this assumption is not true. This "column" is in fact, (or will be in the weeks to come) literally overflowing with information concerning the various clubs and organizations throughout the school. In the two weeks that have elapsed since the beginning of school, three clubs and various By SHIRLEY OeVRIES Practices for girls interested in becoming cheerleaders will begin on September 24. These praetices are open to any girls in grade 10 and up who are not involved with any other interscholastie team. Each day, from 3:30 to 5:00 the various jumps and several cheers will be taught by the senior cheerleaders. This will continue for four days and en September 28 the final tryouts Will be held. Approximately eight girls will be chosen to make up the junior team for the school year bringing the total number of cheerleaders to 15. During the first year various cheers, both yelling and action will be taught, along with several routines. Juniors will be present at all games and other functions dressed in full uniform. They will also be present at the two major cheerleading competitions: the annual "Red and Black" com- petition and Huron-Perth, The "Red and Black" tour- nament was introduced only last year by our own school. On the day of the Huron-Perth football finals, all the cheerleading squads come together in our school to perform a "half-time" routine before a group of judges. The routines are judged on such things as appearance and originality, This year we hope to regain the title, and trophy which we lost to Stratford last year. The Huron-Perth competition is something similar - held the same day as the Huron-Perth track and field meet. At this point New student optimistic about life at SHDHS _By MARION JOHNSON The student council should be commended on a job welt-done as we take a look at the first major assembly held in South Huron September U. To begin with, our student council executive for the school year 1973.1974 was introduced to the grade nine students and any new students who are now at- tending S.H.D,11.S. and were not familiar with them. They are as follows: president, Brad Oke; vice-president, Dennis Doidge; second-vice, Mike Miller; secretary, Janice Hayter; treasurer. Tony Kyle; social convener, Steve Harrison; staff advisor, Mr. CR. Murray. Immediately following these introductions, a surprise visit from Monsieur Fago of Paris was announced. We were informed that he had flown all the way from France with his group of six professional models, "The Fabulous Six", to display for us the new line of initiation gar- ments for the grade nine initiation September 20 to 21, Their opening show included the costumes that every First- Year Student will hopefully be wearing on the first day of initiation. Heather Hot Lips, Rosie, and Betty Big Boobs???? modeled the latest in full pleated skirts, frilly bouses, ruby red lips and the ever popular pony-tail hair style for us. They were operates on a four day one. The periods were 50 minutes long with a 10 minute break in between each class. Because of the slower routine Tecumseh school had, I feel that a more relaxed atmosphere was obtained, At S.H,D.H.S. you must rush to each class in order to prevent lateness, This creates a hectic atmosphere, I've found that the students of South Huron are more involved with other people's problems. During the first couple of days of school, I found students more than happy to direct me to my classes, They told me without being asked the different routines of the school, I've found that it is the con- sideration for fellow students that makes South Huron District High school one of exception. 'Leigh Ashford' to play at first dance of year The student council expects a good turn-out at the grade nine initiation dance tomorrow night (Friday) which features a group called 'Leigh Ashford.' The doors will open at 9 o'clock By MARIAN ADAMS A new school year is upon us and for many it marks their first year at South Huron District High School. Unlike most people I have come from another high school. I have moved from Chatham to Exeter. The school I attended in Chatham was Tecumseh Secondary High School. Its student body of 500 pupils seems trivial to the 1,000 of S.H.D.H.S. I was delighted to see the great variety of subjects from which I could choose. Interesting courses likeMass Media,World Religions and World Politics showed me that the school sparks, many in- terests. Most of the courses in Tecumseh Secondary School were for students who intended to finish grade 13. Unlike S.H.D,H.S, there were only academic courses including art, physical education and home economics. South Huron District High School operates on a two day schedule unlike Tecumseh which Giddy gosiip Praise staff of‘Inkspof Come on seniors, sure she's blonde and cute but she's only in Grade nine. 4 + -- + What blonde male student should stick to Pepsi? + 4- First it was too hot, now . . , Iike no heat, Maybe the science labs could turn up their burners. + + The word is out folks. No more of Morley's lectures. Apparently its twice and out. and any student or former student of the school will be admitted. Guests, however, must be signed in prior to the dance by a student of our school. The guest book will be available in the main hall during the lunch periods and the activity period Friday. As this dance will be the first for the majority of the first-year students, the student council has decided that all grade nine students will be admitted at a reduced rate. Although there will be prefects and chaperones patrolling the dance area and school grounds, the student council feels that the student body will be responsible enough to follow the few rules that have been set down, such as PO smoking in the gym, etc. This being the first dance at South Huron this year, let's make it a good one. Come out and help kick off this school year's season of dances. became agile dancers, gracefully turning pirouettes and arabesques on the stage and floating gracefully around to the floating strains of "I wish I were a Princess.' Just lovely, These showings were made complete however, by the beautiful commentary, given in the lovely soprano voice of M. Fago, who himself had taken the time to come in the latest fashions — polka-dotted knee- knockers, silk blouse . and the lace scarf tied around his dainty tittle neck. Every year we have trouble with grade 10 and 11 students "panging" the first-year students. This year offenders were given a preview of their punishment. Three culprits were subject to the dead aim of three other senior students throwing soft tomatoes at them. Hopefully this will discourage any eager beavers! As the laughter died down, Brad once more returned with Dennis Doidge, who introduced the prefects for the school year. They are as follows; Don Ayotte, Elaine Baptie, John Creces, Tom Creech, Shirley DeVries, Pius Dietrich, Jill Drysdale, Ed Farwell, Bev Finnin, Melissa Gelinas, Dave Hall, Bob Heywood, Fiona Kennedy, Dianne Klopp, Albert Klungel, Cathy Knight, Gary MacLean, Henry Martins, Pam Mickle, John Muller, Anne Pinder, Sherri Rau, Leisa Ritchie, Allyson Robichaud, Noel Skinner, Bryan Tuckey, Art Westelaken, Melanie Veal, and John Wuerth. These people will "assist the staff in the supervision of dances, halls, cafeterias, and activities where the student body is in- volved en masse." Finally the treasurer, Tony Kyle was introduced. He told us where the money which was collected through the $2 student council fee was going. This money will be distributed among dances, school clubs, and many other social activities of the school over the school year. The money is well used by the student council and Tony assured us it won't be wasted. Special thanks should go to M, Fago and his Fabulous Six, (Larry Mason, Shelly Baker, Pam Mickle, Jill Drysdale, Gary MacLean, Noel Skinner, and John Wuerth) for a really good performance, and also to Van Tuckey, Bill Baker, and Wayne Oke, for acting as such able targets. I think that if the assemblies continue in the way they are now, we will have a very g000d year at South Huron. The 1972.1973 Inkspots arrived last week and we're sure you'll agree that last year's editors, Joan Allen and Darlene Porter and the Inkspot staff did a first- rate job in capturing the theme, "Those Were the Days", on paper. The yearbook covers everything from the grade nine initiation to the grade 13 Biology field trip to Stokes Bay, And so, to last year's Inkspot Staff on behalf of the Guardian and the school, I would like to say, "Congratulations," and to this year's staff, "Good Luck." I know I'll probably look back to my Inkspot in future years and say, "Those were the days." B-balls bounce for first game By TERESA ON DREJICKA Well its that time of year again When the balls start bouncing. The bright orange balls with ,Maek stripes indicate its basketball season again. The girls were out practicing this week, polishing up their best Shots for the time the team is picked. There seems to be a great interest shown this year from the younger grades although the seniors seem to have lost their usual get up and go. There's a surprisingly bigger than usual turnout this year from our new grade nines and by the look of things, they seem to possess some pretty good skills such as balance, agility, speed, and most importantly the will to co-operate with the other players. In short Pm looking forward to a lot of team spirit being exhibited this year. The teams should be picked some time next week. Their first exhibition game will be held September 20 here in South Huron against Seaforth. Anybody who's interested is certainly welcome to come out and watch the games. Some of our opponents include Clinton, Wingham, and Stratford and I understand they are ready to go. So it looks like a good year of basketball ahead. Come on out, show your your school support, cheer them on, and to you girls and Miss Rowe the best of luck and keep that ball bouncing! Plan to see many plays By DEBBIE HILLMAN Once again this year the English department is planning to take students to see Shakespearean and Theatre London playa. In Stratford on October 11 "Othello" is to be seen and October 17 "Taming of the Shrew" will be presented, The price range for these plays varies but students are pleased with what their money buys. More Shakespearean works will probably be in the offing later on in the school year. Students iP Theatre Arts will visit London once a month. At Teatre London a special rate of $5 for the season IS offered to the students. We are going to take advantage of this offer and will therefore be seeing such plays as "Anne of Green Gables", "Butterflies are Free" and "The Boyfriend." More trips to the three tre are in the offing for the Uptornihg year but none have been planned as yet. All of these productioha should prove to be most enjoyablel 0 * REXALL Compare PRODUCT & •39 Save Compare With ALL 100's DAY PLUS IRON VITAMINS $X3.69 One-A-Day Brand Multiple Vitamins Plus Iron 100's ALL DAY $ 100's VITAMINS One-A-Day Brand Multiple Vitamins $2.99 $2.19 100's CHEWAMINS Chocks Vitamins 100's or Flintstone Vitamins 100's $3.95 00's PLUS $2 CHEWAMINS .49 IRON Chocks Plus Iron 100's or Flintstones Plus Iron 100's $3.99 288 144 72 MAIN Super Tablets Tablets Tablets MIDDLETON Plus 36 18 SPECIAL 144 (Value Tablets (Value Tablets (Value . .
