Distance Phorie-8it7i6122 (Evettirig0 George Britigseig Sitting here alone I wonder how I am going to write down on paper, my feelings about friendship. ' Sure, everyone has friends, but how many people can sit down and say to themselves that they have friends who would do anything for them. Too few, I am afraid. Bruce Hutchinson, one of our Canadian writers, is right when he concludes that nothing of impor tance in life is definable. No one can define a friend, for true friends are like jewels; they may be beautiful on the outside but if the inside isn't pure gem they are not genuine. Everybody in the world, without exception, needs a friend. Someone they can count on, someone who will lend a helping hand ,when times are rough and who will have a shoulder to cry on when you are in despair.130ing human, we have a tendency to put ourselves ahead of others. This is one obstacle that must be overcome. A true friend is one who takes the time to listen, for listening is a fine art, slowly but surely becoming ex- tinct. It is so easy to talk about you problenis when you know someone is genuinely interested and wants to help. A friend is one who is there when needed and will stand by you at all times. I have just written a few Inside Howick Central Madill Editor writes on. friendship This year at. Howick we have somthing different. We have Mr. Farnell's room, working with marionnettes. The marionnettes belong to Darlene McGrath. 'Th4 are made by Darlene's grand- mother. There are three marion- nettes; one boy, one girl and one dog. These marionnettes are very detailed. The boy has thick orange hair, ears, and rosy cheeks. The "girl has thick yellow hair braids and a pink dress, the face is the same as the boy's but with a girlish look in it. The dog is white and furry and can lift his ears and wagIbis tail. The work is very excellent and beautiful. Darlene's marionnettes have been busy entertaining the stu- dents in the primary grades. The marionnettes have a realistic look and movement. Darlene's marionnettes will be kept busy entertaining for a little while longer yet. Patricia Burbidge Cross Country Race Yesterday, October 15th, there was a Cross Country Race bet- !! ween teachers and students. In 9 last period all the students went outside to cheer on their favour- ites. Hard running was done by the students to keep teachers from winning. Also teachers tried hard to win. Even though the teachers tried hard, the girls led BPS kids selling bars them, The boY\s, slowed down from having to run around the Community Centre but they did well. First place winner was Rhea Behrns, second, Laurel Dane, then Donna Powell. The students won with 683 points and the teachers loSt with 574 points. As. I was watching I was sure everyone was trying their hardest to win. Marlin Good. Trip to Clinton Last Wednesday on October 8th, the Grade Eights and some of Grade Sevens went to Clinton High School to see the "Canadian Brass". This group consisted of five men who played trombone, 2 trumpets, tuba and french horn. Each of them had an older instrument to represent the ones they played. For the horns they had a very small piccolo trumpet for instance. Also, they had a conch shell and a bull's horn. Many schools were there to see them. They were very interesting and we enjoyed them very much. Marlin Good Volley Ball Try Outs _ The volley ball try-outs at Howick Central are to start in the very near future. Mr. Livermore„ the coach, hopes to have as good or a better team than he has had other years, so good luck to those who are trying out for this team. Gary Douglas Board Members. Visit Ben Schuitema thoughts that make me think of a movie I saw on television called 'Bryan's Song'. It was the story of two football players. One was. Negro, the other was white. The story followed the friendship between these two from the day they met until the day the latter died. The relationship between these two men was open to ridicule, but they stuck together through good times and hard times, ever ready, ever under- standing of each other. Where would this world be without friendship? Friends are as necessary, to me anyway, as the air that I breathe. It means a lot to me to be able to laugh and share good times and bad times, and to be able to help if I am needed. The look of gratitude on the face of someone you have been able to help is more than r enough of a reward for the extra ' time or attention you have 'given them. To be able to share secrets, and be able to trust someone is a blessing in itself. But friends are not possessions. They must be shared and treated with love and respect. Friends can be like wine, improving as they get older, or, if treated unjustly, they could turn on you. Don't let this happen. I am not an expert in the field of human relations or any such thing and .I don't profess to be, but .I do The grade 8's of Brussels will be coming to your neighbourhood in the next month selling choco- late bars, peppermint patties and peanuts. We are doing this to raise money for out-door educa- tion through the year. We have been divided up so that you won't have more than one person at your door waiting for you to buy from them. We the grade 8's will be most ' • grateful if you would consider giving us the support we need. ;41 Also, if it happens that you ,; • have been missed and you would like some of our candy, you may phone 887-6703.

It is difficu l t though, for feelings and opinions clash and sometimes you are left in the middle. But inspite of what happens, the pros of being -4 friend, a true friend, far out. number the cons. I think I will leave you with the little verse that I believe with all my heart because if you can follow It through you're on the way to becoming a true and valuable asset, a friend. `People are meant to be loved and things are meant to be used. One of the main problems in this world stems from the fact that we tend to love things and use people.
