Computer information service available to SHDHS students Editorial Remembrance day Remembrance Day was on November 11, this past Tuesday. Everywhere across Canada ceremonies took place for the loved ones that died in the wars. Universities and colleges have done away with treating this day as a holiday. Sometimes they will read off the names of those who lost their lives and observe a two-minute silence. School authorities are considering eventually doing away with this day as a holiday. It's true that not very many students can fully realize the meaning of the day to other people. Monday morning the senior Theatre Arts students presented a play to the student body about the wars, and how it involved so many people who were sure that their country was right. It's true that we didn't experience the grief of the wars, but tbat doesn't make us unfeeling as to how others,feel about it. + + + By golly, the pep rally showed that the students did have some school spirit in them, They turned out in full force at both football and basketball games. Thank you, students. We're sorry we had you buried before, you were dead. We're glad that there's still some life left in you! SHDHS — was represented in the Remembrance Day observations held in Exeter Sunday. Cadet Greg Pfaff is shown with mayor Bruce Shaw at the Cenotaph. T-A photo. Computer Student Guidance Information Service has been made available to South Huron high school students. This service is designed to be of value to students in all years;' from first through fifth years and for those students whose vocational and educational goals are still uncertain as well as for those who have decided upon their careers. This service essentially provides two types of in- formation: career information; post-secondary educational in- formation, It is operated by the Ontario Ministry of Education in Toronto to provide up-to-date • Local 4-H girl wins county award For the first time, a female has been awarded the Robert McKinley Citizenship Trophy as the top 4-H member of the year in Huron County, Barbara Miller, 18, RR 3 Exeter, received the honor as well as the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association award at the 28th annual Huron County 4-H Achievement Night held at Barbara Miller descriptions of over 7,000 possible occupations and up-to-date in- formation on: universities, colleges, apprenticeship Movie depicts true drama By TERESA ONDREJICKA "A rare and special movie," are surely the most fitting words to describe "The Other Side of the Mountain." This movie is presently in its 13th fantastic week at the Odeon 2 in London. A true story of Jill Kinmon and, a champion skier, this movie is fast becoming second to "Love Story" across Canada and the United States. In some ways it actually surpasses "Love Story" in style and plot. Marilyn Hasset stars as Jill and portrays the part to perfection. Beau Bridges por- trays Dick Beuk, the only one who really understands what its like to be an athlete confined to a wheelchair. From beginning to end the movie was full of surprises, shocks, and tearfully sad moments. The ending is perhaps the most shocking but then again life doesn't always end happily ever after. I'd recommend this movie to anyone mature enough to face life as it really is, with no masks. Perhaps the best movie I've ever seen, "The Other Side of the Mountain," is one I will surely never forget. programs, private trade schools, programs, courses, fees, costs, admission requirements and so on. The cost of this service is borne by the school and by the students who subscribe. The fee of $1.50 per student for the school year is set at this amount by the Minister of Education; the school collects this and forwards it to Toronto. Request cards for information are completed by students in the Guidance Office and are for- warded to Toronto by the school. In return, students receive, in about a week, Computer Print- . outs which are theirs to keep. (Courier service to and from Toronto will be provided during the postal strike.) Students may request information as many times as they wish and about as many questions as they wish. As any new information becomes available concerning student queries, the computer will automatically send out the new material. The Guidance Department now has wide-ranging resource and reference material for students to consult concerning careers and further education. Guidance Counsellors will continue to see students about their future plans, but Student Guidance Infor- mation Service is a most worth- while supplementary service — for those students who don't yet know where they are going — who wish to explore and for those who do know but who wish fur- ther first hand specific in- formation to help pursue their goals.

Staff shortage affects coverage By JOANN ONDREJICKA Getting down to the nitty-gritty by immediately saying the Guardian staff has a problem. The problem is . . there's' a shortage of Guardian staff. We have, all tolled, seven people on our staff and each staff member is expected to hand in at least one article each week, There's nothing difficult about that, and we always manage to scrape by with just enough ar- ticles, but we seldom have a sufficient number of people to cover all of the events going on during the school week, Out of the large number of students that go to this school, I think there should be more than seven people with a flair for writing. We congregate every Tuesday in activity periods at the library seminar room, The co-editors are planning on expanding the Guardian page but that is highly impossible unless we get a large number of volunteer reporters in a very short time. I always see a lot of people reading the Guardian so how about joining the Guardian and adding your own opinions weekly? If things don't change, we're going to start drafting people into the Guardian staff. Believe me when I say this, because we hopefully have already grabbed two unwilling but capable writers. Cheerleaders lead pep rally Times-Advocate, November 13, 1975 Realistic war program by SHDHS students By KATHY STECKLE "Let's go South Huron High, a. South Huron High, let's go!" This cheer started off the pep rally on Tuesday, November 5. It was another pep rally to get the students from S.H.D.H.S. on the warpath fighting for victory. The cheerleaders started us off with some cheers. Then Mr. Zankowski, this year's coach of the senior girls' basketball team, introduced the girls of that team to cheers and applause that were thundering.. But the "alfa" and "omega" of the rally was really our junior and senior Panther teams, There was no doubt that they had lots of support when they played their games on Saturday. We're proud of our teams and we showed our support at the rally and the game. The rally ended with: "Let's go South Huron High„ South Huron High, let's go."

Last Thursday the senior girl's basketball team played Stratford Central in the semi-play offs. The girls lost by four baskets. The game was tremendous not only because of the terrific way the girls played but because of the support of the school, Almost everyone in the school attended the game and the gym rang with spirit. The weekend went fairly well for the school, The Junior Football team Wen along with the help of our cheerleaders. The senior team may not have won but their effort was fantastic, with good spirit there too. We've found out school spirit means a lot so let's keep it up! the government financial help (Ontario Student Assistance Program) for students in post- secondary educational in- stitutions. All students and parents are welcome. The Game Walk into that store, be sure to look around No one is there, but don't make a sound! Remember what you wanted, exactly what you came for Look around again, but stay by the door. Don't think about the trouble, just think about the fun Remember if yon are caught, say you are not the one Think fast, the gang is waiting for you Now, what did the guys tell you to do? They are waiting, they will surely come if you yell! Grab that ring, run, oh dear, look you fell, Here comes the man, remember, it wasn't you Where are the guys now, what will you do? The man has got you, why don't you run? But that won't do any good, the damage is done! Great fun, eh, that's what you thought! Sorry for you kid, but you've just been caught! The teacher had asked the OAS'S to list, in their opinion, the nine greatest Americans. After a While she stopped at one desk and asked, "Have you finished your list yet, Johnny?" "All but one," he replied, "I can't decide on the shortstop." A sensitive but realisticpoi:2 trayal of war was the idea behind Monday's Remembrance Day assembly at South Huron Good losers really win By JILL TUCKEY This was written after the Senior Girls Basketball Team lost the semi-final game to Stratford Central, this was the first semi-final game that the girls' team have participated in since 1966. A special dedication goes to Peter Zankowski for his coaching ability, in bringing the girls this far. We were there, We were hoping, We were waiting, We were losing. We were playing, We were fighting, We were seeing, We were losing. We played. We fought. We hoped. We waited. We saw. We lost. To those who played, I feel that they, Deserve the day that they will play, With the greatest team that was ever made, In South Huron High to this very day. I later felt like I would cry, But I really wanted more to die, Because I know that way deep down, In all of us, they really won. To you, this may feel like another game, But to them, it felt like the end of fame. "Join a club" By JEANNIE PAVKEJE and DONNA FLEMING The clubs at South Huron have been busy this week. If you don't have anything to do during lunch or activity period, join a club, They will always welcome a new member, If chess is one of your interests go to room 112 at lunch or after school, and have a game or two, Just find a partner or if you haven't played chess before, ask someone to teach you. Don't forget to read the club column in The Guardian next week, to hear about another club at S.H.D.H.S. District High School. With background music furnished by the talents of Hannah Mathers and Paul Fydenchuk, the program seemed to accomplish its purpose. It was a collage of various mediums, including folk music, dramatizations, slides, poetry, and memories provided by the recollections of town residents, who either participated in the war or were affected by it. A notable contribution to the program was the reading of letters from student, Lois Doerr's mother from her brother who was overseas during World War H. They symbolized the feelings of a generation of Canadian families who endured the time, distance, and tragedy of separation during the war. "The purpose of the presen- tation was to try to make war more realistic for the kids of today, because they are an entire generation removed from it", commented Pat Quigley, the school's drama teacher. Miss Mathers' theme song wove through the hour-long assembly. Untitled, it spoke of a "million young soldiers" moving from daylight into darkness, and then asked the question, "why". The student audience ap- plauded long and loud. By GORDON MORLEY The Ladies Guild of St. Mary's Church met Wednesday evening in the church basement.
