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 You You're just a lone soul locked in destiny.

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 complete 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.

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. udents projects February 4 in Room 96 with an enthusiastic audience in at- tendance. 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, Nancy Pickering, Anneke Somann, Beth Keyes, Susan Masse and Pam Jackson, The cast came up with a superior performance with Tom Hayter (Petruchio), Tracey Turner (Kate) and Darlene Davis (Baptista) turning in outstanding 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- ceeded. S LL 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.

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. S
