.LicriMin
Thursday of last week offered
many opportunities for students
to talk about their school life. One
such opportunity was the
discussion of "Our School."
Participating in the discussion
was a panel of teachers and
parents, a panel of students who
had researched the different
topics, and the audience made up
of a combination of teachers,
students, and parents.
Six different topics had been
chosen before hand. They were
the attendance policy, dances,
assemblies, garbage, noise,
smoking areas, class room
behaviour, teacher
qualifications, courses, workload
and office, guidance, library and
janitor procedures.
The discussion on the at-
tendance policy went well.
Everyone thought that it was the
best for everyone concerned.
The topic of smoking areas
brought up many disagreements.
It was felt that the present area is
a mess and too many students
are sneaking in the hall way for a
smoke. Promoting a smoking
area would also promote
smoking. Prefects, it was felt,
should be on the look-out for
people misusing the privileges
they have now.
Mr. Murphy closed the
discussion when he mentioned
there is no room available in the
school and there wouldn't be for a
couple of years.
The topic of dances, assem-
blies, garbage and noise brought
up the idea that the reason we
have so much trouble with these
things is because there is a
general lack of school spirit at
SHDHS. It was suggested that
dances be cancelled if there was
no interest from the student body,
Assemblies, it was agreed
upon, should be timetabled for
the end of the day and the idea for
one brought before an assembly
committee.
"Garbage is everyone's
responsibility" said a par-
ticipant, "and if it continues to be
a problem then we should make
sure it is left where its dropped to
rot." It was suggested that the
prefects aid the student body and
pressure students into main-
taining their school property by
making sure students throw
away their wrappings in the
garbage basket and getting
students to lower their voices in
the hall ways.
Because of the lack of time the
discussion moved to teachers
qualifications, courses and work
load. Some students wondered
why they couldn't call their
teachers by their first names.
During most class room
situations calling teachers by

their first names would lead to

The workload during weeks
when two or three tests were
frequent was talked about,
Students felt that it was infair
that unusual amount of work is
during a one or two day period.
The discussion had 'to be cut off
due to a lack of time. It was quite
successful and hopefully in the
near future there will be another
one,
English st

By BRENDA J. PEPPER
Just recently, the semestered
Englishes had their exams and
finished up major projects in
preparation for changing classes.
This year, English 351
(Shakespeare) taught by Ms. Pat
Quigley really outdid themselves.
Throughout the course of Romeo
and Juliet, Macbeth, and Taming
of the Shrew we studied
We read through the plays,
often acting out parts we liked.
In place of an exam, we
decided to perform Taming of the
Shrew. Few of us have any
drama experience, it was quite a
major undertaking. We spent
long hours memorizing lines,
blocking and rehearsing. The
finished product was shown

So what you really need is a

Someone who you can really trust
Someone to confide in when you

A person who knows just how you

A person in your who is very

With a friend you can laugh, with
a friend you can cry —
With a friend you can always tell
the reason why.

School contest
is finished
Last week the guardian contest
ended. The student body spent
two weeks guessing what the
letters S.L.L. could stand for in
five hundred entries. It was
surprising that the students and
teachers of South Huron could
have so much trouble with three
little words,
However, some of the student
body and faculty members took
on the challenge with zeal. Mr.
Johnston guessed that "Spinsters
Lack Love" and at the
"Shillelagh were Lovely Ladies",
Mrs. Golding was all for the
"Student's Love Life". Mr.
McDonald had several comments
on the Students Likeable Library.
There were also a number of
entries commenting on the
situation of Mr, Lyle Little.
John Hill correctly guessed
that S.L.L. means Society's
Living Lines. He won a free pass
to the Winter Carnival. Shayne
Peacock with Societies Living
Litters, Lynda Hillman with
Students Liberated Language
and Tim Lawrence with Society's
Learning Liberation won booby
prizes, Congratulations to those
people.
Incidently there were at least
one hundred and fifty entries
entitled Stop, Look and Listen.

February 4 in Room 96 with an
enthusiastic audience in at-

It went along with few hitches
except for a minor injury to
Gremio (Darlene Davis) at the
beginning of the second act. The
players were Tom Hayter,
Tracey Turner, Marty Becker,
Brenda Pepper, Darlene Davis,

The cast came up with a
superior performance with Tom
Hayter (Petruchio), Tracey

performances.
It must also be mentioned that
several performers carried two
or more parts because there were
not enough performers. Thanks
to Ms. Quigley who spent long
hours trying to make actors and
actresses out of clods, and suc-

You know you're overweight
when you're living beyond your
seams.
The trouble with doing something
right the first time is that nobody
appreciates how difficult it was.
He who likes to generalize
generally lies.
It's important that people know
what you stand for. It's equally
important that they know what
you won't stand for:
Modern man's idea of roughing it
is surviving through the night
after the thermostat on the
electric blanket conks out.
If you really want the last word in
an argument, try saying, "I
guess you're right."
Winter always seems long
because it comes in one year, and
out the other.

Several letters have been sent to this column recently I
concerning some of the rules governing snowmobilers, and
what they can and cannot do, according to law. Up until
now we have replied on a personal basis and covered the
specific question asked. However, in view of the wide in-
terest in this subject we have decided to publish some im-
portant.EXCERPTS from the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act,
1974 and we hope this yvill help clarify some of the most
often asked questions.
Every motorized snow vehicle, unless exempted under this Act
or the regulations, shall have attached to or painted on both
sides of the cowling in a clearly visible position a sign showing
the registration number of the motorized snow vehicle in the
form and manner prescribed in the regulations. (New).
Subject to the foregoing, no person shall drive a motorized
snow vehicle along a highway unless (a) he has attained the full
age of sixteen years; and (b) he holds a driver's licence; or (c) he
holds a motorized snow vehicle operator's licence; or (d) he is a

Editorial
Last Thursday and Friday at South Huron were "participation
days." Different work shops and lectures were open to students
during these days. Approximately two hundred students were ab-
sent during these days. However, even without these students it
was definitely a success,
The students who attended school were interested and involved
themselves in the activities offered. Most of the activities were
either free or offered at a very low cost. There were lectures,
seminars, subjects and activities for every appetite. The public
was invited to attend and did so.
It is unfortunate that the two days were looked down upon even
before they began. Many students thought they were an ideal time
to go to London to do some shopping or just for staying home and
relaxing. These students missed out on a good and fun opportunity
for learning more about the subjects they like best.
We were definitely fortunate to have these days last week.
Hopefully the next time these days are offered more students will
recognize a good time when they see it.
Teachers, students, parents
discuss school activities
By BRENDA J. PEPPER
Thursday and Friday were
participation days at South
Huron and I must admit they
were busy if you participated.
On Thursday morning I played
volleyball, but lost. I then went
to a seminar on Working Mothers
done by Mrs. Eddy. This was
quite interesting with the panel
being made up of Mrs. Parks,
Mrs. Eddy and Mrs. McDonald.
From there I went on to
discussion on "Our School".
There were three panels; a
student panel, a teacher panel
made up of Mr. Little, Mrs.
Carter, Miss Rowe and Mr.
Murphy and a parent panel made
up of Mrs. Mills, Rev. Donald
Beck and Mrs. Minnie Noakes.
We discussed topics such as
student behavior at dances and
assemblies, teachers and
workload and the smoking area.
It was a very productive
discussion and it ran well
overtime. Everyone was
reluctant to stop talking.
After this I went to the new
gym to watch the home form of
3L play the champion grade 13
homeform. They won to become
the best homeform in volleyball.
Then at 1:00, I went to the old
gym for the movie "Lady Sings
the Blues," the story of the life of
Billie Holliday starring Diana
Ross, Due to technical dif-
ficulties, the first couple of reels
were pretty blurry, but it got
better. That sums up Thursday.
Friday was none the less slack.
At 10:30, I participated in a show
of Canadian music. Performers
were Hannah Mathers, Paul
Fydenchuk, Jim Marshall and
Colin Loundes as well as the
recently formed music club. Most
of the songs were written by
Hannah Mathers with some by
Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard
Cohen.
At 11:00 was a seminar with
Ray Smith in the library. The
entertaining author read from
his book "Lord Nelson's
Tavern", then answered
questions. He was enlightening
and shattered many illusions I
had of writers.
At 1:00 I attended an acting
workshop run by David Burnett,
an actor currently appearipg in
Arthur 'Miller's' "Death 'of' 'a
Salesman" at Theatre London.
He knows his stuff and I came
away feeling it had been wor-
thwhile.
I then went to the floor hockey
game between the teachers and
the grade thirteens. This annual
event opens the Winter Carnival
and is usually a broomball game.
Due to unstable conditions of the
arena it became floor hockey
instead.
The students put up a strong
fight, but the teachers walloped
them 9-2.
In conclusion, the Participation
Days were a success, at least in
my opinion.
