Have you noticed the growing member of camera-carrying students at South Huron? They are members of this year's camera club, which finds its headquarters in the room of staff advisor, Mr. Perry, room 109. The slate of members includes Wrestling meet set for Friday The annual red and black wrestling tournament will be held tomorrow (Friday) here at South Huron. Twelve schools will be com- peting for the title including four teams from the Kitchener schools, four teams from the London area and competitors from Goderich, Lambton Cen- tral, and Sarnia Northern. The meet promises to be a good exhibition of skill since many of these teams hold titles from the various wrestling competitions such as W.O.S.S.A. or the London Conference. It will also be fast moving and exciting because of a new and changed type of wrestling call "free style" wrestling, set up along the same lines as the Olympic Games style. Why not come out and give your wrestlers some en- couragement? The preliminaries begin at 2 p.m. The cost for adults will be 25 cents while students will pay 10 cents. The final matches will begin at 8 p.m. The cost for spectators will be adults - 50 cents and .students 25 cents. some 10 regulars, with eight or nine other interested persons. Included in the facilities available to the club are two 35 mm. cameras, an enlarger, with developing, processing, and printing equipment adequate for producing black and white photos. While teaching the art of photography for the pleasure of the individual, this club also serves as the major producer of photographs for the yearbook. Other groups, including those who require photographical services for educational pur- poses, are also aided, Interest in the recent Photo Contest, has produced the following results: Moods of Man - Andy Pridham, John Dobbs, Teacher - David Perry, John Dobbs, Nature - David Perry, John Dobbs, Novelty - Deb Parsons, David Perry Grand Champ - Dave Perry. London theatre proves enjoyable By DEB HILLMAN Wednesday, November 28 the Theatre Arts students again went to Theatre London to see a play. This time 'Anne of Green Gables' was presented. To our delight the play was fantastic. The actors gave a wonderful performance that kept the audience in laughter and tears throughout. We have all quite agreed that this play was perfect for an audience of any age. F . By C.W. Long Whenever, and wherever, teachers gather one hears complaints about student at- titudes, conduct, and behaviour. A partial listing includes: Taking in assemblies and classrooms By DEBBIE HILLMAN Yacmr - Youth Across Canada With the Mentally Retarded. This is a group of young people who are striving for social acceptance for the retarded. They believe that the retarded are first class citizens and have the right to live as normal a life as possible within their capabilities. They stress in- dependence, normalization and integration for the retarded so that one day the group will no longer be needed except as friends, Yacmr (Ontario division) was officially started in 1968 with eight locals. Today there are ninety locals with 3000 volun- teers. A recent project for South Huron Local was to organize a dance at Palmerston Institute School for the Mentally Retar- ded. There are about 1000 students at the school and they all Abra ham's keep up beat By TERESA ONDREJICKA A well known group throughout Canada today is that of Abraham's Children. Five guys who really give you the ins and outs of music recently played at a dance concert in S.H.D.H.S. From fast to slow notes they kept the beat going from 8-11 Wed- nesday,, November 21. A good crowd was in at- tendance and the groups' musical ability was high in my opinion, The balcony opened around nine which gave those who wanted to dance a bit more room. Mean- while those who just enjoyed the good vibrations sat around and listened, There wasn't too much trouble although if you look at the west side of the school you'll see someone has left their car prints probably to be long remembered. Litter still remains a problem around the school after dances but I'm sure its a problem we'll overcome in time. A sensational group which every high school should invest their money in is "Abraham's Children." Late assignments Littering - in cafeteria, halls, classrooms Noncompliance with requests and regulations Nonreturn of library books Apathy - nonparticipation in co- curricular activities look forward to the annual dance our local organizes. Everyone had a great time dancing to records, talking and getting to know each other. To belong to Yacmr you must be 13-25 years of age and be a student or working. All you need is enthusiasm, and a great energy directed towards a better world and of course the feeling that you have something to give. You will find, I assure you, that you will receive something in return. History of vice-principal By MARIAN ADAMS Through this column I have introduced the new teachers of S.H.D.H.S. I still have not, up to now, presented the second most important person on the entire staff: that is, the vice-principal, Mr. H. Murphy. While attending the University of Western Ontario, Mr. Murphy majored in Chemistry. Following his graduation he taught for three years at Pauline Johnson C.I. He left there to become head of the Science department at Goderich District C.I. After six years in this position he was appointed vice-principal at Goderich last year. He joined the staff at South Huron this year. "I consider the students at S.H.D.H.S. fortunate for three main reasons: they have a wide' selection of courses from which to choose; theyhave more student freedom that I am accustomed to at other schools and a group of dedicated teachers with progressive programs to aid the students." Mr. Murphy resides in Goderich with his wife and three children. cheers I submit, fellow teachers, that we have been magnificently successful in teaching by "precept and example." Have you never noticed the participation, at assemblies, Staff Meetings, etc., of teachers in "private discussions"? How long does it take you to make and return tests, assign- ments, etc.? Are you always prompt in providing the office with class lists, etc, as requested? Have you looked at your desk lately? How about the Staff Room? Are you complying with the request made in September to keep attendance by class? What was your response to the C.W.Q.E. Survey, the Social Committee survey, etc.? Is your door open by 8:45 each day? Is it students who take, and do not return, Audio-Visual equipment? The students certainly have a monopoly on apathy don't they! !!! We actually have 6, out of 57, staff members attending the 0.S.S.T.F. District Annual Meeting. Now that's what I call overwhelming interest and participation. I wonder what the response will be next September when $10 per month is deducted from EVERY teacher's pay, not just the 40 percent who submitted promissory notes in the interest of a strong Federation, With this kind, and level, of interest I can see NO justification for the existence of a Staff Rep. By TERESA ONDREJICKA Saturday, November 24, was not one of the days that I can thank Mother Nature for. A day which was hoped to be highly successful in cleaning up the town of Exeter was taken over by the bleak, dull pouring rain. Our soggy mission got under way at nine o'clock Saturday morning. Surprisingly enough around twenty people showed up armed with rain coats and garbage bags and ready and raring to go. We divided Exeter into four main parts and everybody had a certain part of Exeter in which to find their garbage. To save gas Mr. Probizanski and our pollution mobile cruised up and down main street. When you had a full bag you desposited it at a corner facing Main Street, From there he'd pick it up. By eleven o'clock we realized the job was hopeless and com- pletely drenched. by water we headed back to the school, weary of the wet and bleak day. The day was not a total loss though. We managed to get 18 bags of gar- bage and every little bit counts.. The majority of the articles found Were paper wrappers. Some tin cans, bottles, plastic, and even larger pieces of junk were also collected. Students enjoy Yukon musicians By LINDA FLEMING Friday night, a dance featuring "Yukon" was held. The band was really great, if you like listening to music in- stead of dancing, They played several pieces from Yes, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Johnny Winter and the Edgar Winter Group, only with "Yukon's" added variations, The lighting effect was terrific, Brightly colored lights flashed off and on the singer or player who was leading at the time. The last song of the night, "Smoke on the Water," was greeted with enthusiasm from the audience, "Yukon" is a great concert band. With the cold weather moving in we decided to wait until next spring and try again but within the next few weeks you'll see us out and around the school and up Gidley Street cleaning up the garbage which was so generously donated by the students of the high school, Future projects are now in the making for the winter months and we are hoping for success in future endeavours. Don't forget, garbage pails are hungry too! Class excursion to Science Centre Among the various class ex- cursions conductalthroughout the year, was the Physics and Chemistry field trip to the Ontario Science Centre, Toronto, Friday November 23. Leaving South Huron at 7;00 a.m., the students arrived at the Centre at 10:30. Various organized seminars, including a feature on light and colour were attended. Among the area most enjoyed by the students, were Communications, Engineering and Life. After an interesting but ex- tremely short day, the students again turned their steps homeward, with the fog of 6:30 witnessing their return to South Huron.
