Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1976-01-15, Page 19Editorial More writers needed School has begun again after the unbelievably longest Christ- mas vacation we've had in a long time. It feels strange to be back at the old grind. The first week back students received their exams along with other essays and projects handed in at the end of the year. For most students the hard work of studying last term paid off. The Guardian is going to try this year to present a new image, Little by little new and intriguing articles will present themselves in our paper to provide readers with a new viewpoint of the happenings at South Huron. More writers would be appreciated. So if you have any literary talents please feel free to join our staff. " 5.1, L. Home cooking is where a lot of women aren't. No one can be completely relaxed. Like a windup clock, a person can't tick without some tension, Wouldn't it be nice if two week'S on vacation seemed to last as long as two weeks on a diet. You can't expect a person to see eye to eye with you when you're looking down on him. Words must surely be counted among the most powerful drugs man ever invented.

YOU EVER TRIED. ORGANIZING A i. SIT-IN ON A CAKE OF ICE? South Huron is one of the few schools that is very sports orientated. It appears that SH- „, DRS is on a winning streak. if We appear to be winning almost all of the sports we are participating in or at least put- ting forth a strong effort. The wrestlers from South Huron are doing a great job as well as our volleyball players, badminton team and gymnastic team, Not many schools can boast of having such hard working sports minded students as well as plenty of , academic students. Congratulations people! Keep up the good work! Craig business association plans carnival for winter WORK, WORK WORK! THAT'S ALL WE EVER DOI I'M SICK OF PUIIING THAT STUPID SLED EVERY CHRISTMAS! WHY DON'T YOU GO ON STRIKE? - c The Huron Board of Education will be paying a small portion of the expenses incurred by the Seaforth District High School girls trumpet band when they travel to Florida in February. Out of a total cost of $7,000 to send the band to Fort Meyers, Florida the Board agreed unanimously to pay up to $800 of any deficit. Principal Bruce Shaw in a letter to the Board said the girls had raised $3,000 and will be providing another $2,205 them- selves. This left a balance of about $800 after an expected Wintario grant of $1,000 is received. Chairman Herb Turkheim said, "We as a Board should be proud of the Seaforth girls. This is the first high school band from Canada invited to participate in the annual Edison Pageant of Light, In order to clear up certain problems being encountered Last year there weren't enough dances to satisfy the student body so the students complained. This year there are too many dances, some of which had bands of low quality. Students are showing their lack of interest by not attending the dances. By not coming to the dances, the student council has lost money. Of course there is no reason why any student should go to a dance where the band is so dull and very few of the audience stay for the halfway mark but it seems that since one band has turned„ out particularly at bus loading time on a private driveway in front of F. E. Madill Secondary school at Wingham, The Huron Board of Education approved the erection of two double sided signs, In ...addition a resolution was passed restricting use of the driveway between Victoria and John street on the school property to vehicles authorized by the Board or its representative in the person of the principal. + + A seminar for principals and vice-principals will be held March 11 to 13 in Sanilac County in Michigan when schools in the Croswel-Lexington district will be visited. In other business, the Board: Referred the question of 1976 mileage allAances to the newly appointed management com- mittee for discussion and recommendation to the Board at the next regular meeting. Turned down a request from poorly, the students feel the other, bands will follow suit. This wag proven at the last dance where there was a very low turn out. From various comments, the next dance approaching will be a good one. Hopefully the majority of students will come out and support the student council and have a good time doing it. There will be a dance this Friday with the band Southcote appearing. Admission will be $2.00. the Town of Clinton of financial consideration for costs incurred in the provision of the town's adult crossing guard program. Approved three applications for approval of plans for sub- divisions within the County of Huron. Tfiey are for J, P. Ducharme in Bayfield; R. Doig in the township of Tiuckersmith and C. H. Thomas in Grey township. Mr. Thomas who is vice- chairman of the Board declared a conflict of interest and did not participate in the discussion. Director of Education D. J. Cochrane said the Board is asked only to consider the impact on present. school facilities and to decide whether or not the sub- divider should be required to make provision for a school site in his plan. Cochrane said all schools serving these three areas had present enrolments well below the effective capacities and school sites would not be ne- cessary.
