EXETER, ONTARIO Plant : 235-0833 Office: 235.1069 Square . dance By SARAH McCLU RE"' To begin the excitement of the winter weekend, Thursday night a square dance and polka night was held. The small gym was packed with dancers as well as the toe-tapping music supplied by Gerry Smith on fiddle, Linda Smith, on piano, Chris Mittleholtz on guitar, Jeff Rooth on drums and of course one of the best callers around, Jack Underwood. Mr. Underwood led the evening extremely well by teaching us step by step several square dances, polkas and even the Schottische. Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Soloman, Mr. Ellison, Mr. Eddy, Mr. Fydenchuck and Mrs. Unich (par- ticipating teachers) were busy aiding us in improving our techniques. The night was definitely a success, with special thanks to the band who kindly of- fered their superior talent. Both the students and the teachers enjoyed them- selves. The student council hopes to have at least two more of these dances, so if you • missed out on this one, come out next time. It's a sure way to have fun as well as lose a few kilograms! Touchdown By SARAH McCLURE Bright and early Saturday afternoon, the girl's powderpuff football teams met in the centre of the football field. This activity was one of the first to start off the afternoon's activities at the Winter weekend. After an hour (for the ref to clue all the players in on the rules) the game began. Even though Caroline Degraw wanted it, it was not tackle football. Tags were used. The game was very close until Jacqueline Hyde scored a touchdown, in the last 3 minutes of the game. The following is a poem about the game: A chilly wind blew, but there was no snow. The rough looking foot- ballers lined up in a row. They huddled in circles - just to warm up, For none knew the rules, just the word 111.1P! Degraw took the ball, and fled like an ape, but we got her tag - she could not escape!! By MATT McCLURE As a climactic conclusion to. South Boron's Winter Weekend "FM" and "Saga" played to a crowd of elose to 500 at a concert here two Saturday nights ago. FM, the opening act, provided listeners with a high technology sound which has been labelled'classical art rock by some listeners,", Nevertheless, the audience at the concert seemed less than enthusiastic about the band, The trio of Cameron Hawkins, keyboard and vocals; Martin Deller percussion; and Bev Mink- formerly of Murray Maclaughan and the Silver Tractors-lead guitar and violin practise a kind of music that they believe is here to stay. The group refutes the argument that their music lacks a human quality due to the high technology elec- tronics involved in producing their diversified sound. They suggest that the human quality is still retained in that human beings run the machines and that each note produced is as a result of their playing it. FM's latest album Surueillance has appeared in the Top 20 at Toronto radio stations in recent weeks. Thursday the Panthers hosted Stratford Nor- thwestern in a regular season basketball triplehealler. The seniors kept their playoff hopes alive by edging the visiting Huskies, 55-54. The juniors lost 65-29 to strong opposition and the midgets fell apart in the second half as they were defeated, 67-31. The seniors' win was well earned in the opinion of coach Terry O'Rourke The Panthers combined accurate outside shooting and fierce defence to lead the Huskies 29-28 at the half. South Huron failed to devtlop much in the way of offense with the result that at the end of the third quarter they were down 44- 40. However; the team -rex- ploded in the fourth quarter for 15 points before settling down and controlling the ball in the final two minutes. Dave Woodward shot !ex- ceptionally well from outside to lead all scores with 15 points. Dave Bell and Doug Hoffman also had good games scoring 12 and 10 points respectively. Matt McClure added six while John Byrne and Mike Smith each had four. Don' Beaver and Wayne Parsons both added a basket in a strong team effort. The junior game wasn't nearly as exciting as South Huron failed to come alive until the fourth quarter. Again turnovers plagued the Panthers as they had trouble manoeuvring the ball against the Stratford press. Leading South Huron was Latin option is neglected By MATT McCLU R E It's that time of the year again when guidance counsellors suggest and parent coerce. Has course selection left you aghast as you decide what courses you will take and what you will do with yourself in the future. An option often neglected by students is Latin. When people are asked about Latin, they usually think of it as a dead language, and thus useless. Although it is not spoken by any linguistic group today, latin forms the basis of all most languages spoken today, including english. Through the study of latin, one will increase their English vocabulary, as well being, able to grasp the concepts of other foreign languages with greater ease. As a latin student, I find that the latin has helped me in numerous subjects; for instance, chemistry, element names; biology, nomenclature; geography, physical feature naming and terms. Latin is not dead; it has merely been rein- carnated in many forms. Another misconception about Latin is that one spends class time reciting the different conjugations of verbs.Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality much of the time is devoted to the study of Roman civiliza tion through a series of projects. Saga, also a. Toronto based. band; opened their current South Western Ontario tour to an avid reception AS. the, main aet •ctf: the winter weekend concert. A very slick professional per- forrnance, which, included a laser show, was given by this five member group. The lead vocalist, Michael Sadler-who strongly resembles Burton Cara- mings is his style and per- formance had an especially strong' showing. Although they despise being labelled so, Saga can be categorized as a progressive group.: nevertheless, the band comes across hard with energetic rhythm . and punchy guitar work. By LLOYD MORDEN The evening started out missing a very traditional, honoured high school phenomenon - long, rowdy lines. This is actually a plug for the prefects on the doors. They kept the line moving and got everyone seated with a minimum of commotion. Doug Fischer with 12 points Kevin Parsons and Brian Horner had six and five respectively. The midgets shot well in the first half before falling apart late in the game. South Huron's lanky centre, John Mol led the team with 10 points rounding out the scoring were George Tomes, eight Mike Glavin six, Scott Brintnell five and John Kernick four, Lacking in instrumental By MATT McCLU RE When I have compared our high school to 'others I have visited, I have always been disillusioned by the fact that our schOO1 la-cked some sort of instrumental However, recently, we have been able to take some pride in the fact that some individuals have of their own volition formed various music groups. It should be noted that little if any of these persons' training has been acquired in school. They have either taken lessons or are self taught. Performances by these groups at school functions illustrate that there is an interest and anabundanceof talent. It is indeed', deplorable that no part in the curriculum is provided to those with an interest in music. Sincetheir affiliation 21/2 years ago, Saga has toured Germany and the U.S.. During this time, they have made two albums, as well. Their latest album, Iamages at Twilight" and hit single "Slow Motion" have been in regular rotation at ,CFTR and CHUM-AM and FM of Toronto. Their ambitious schedule this spring includes cutting a new album and a European tour, Drummer Steve Negas, stated the group's objective as being "To make lots of albums, lots of money...and to become famous," If Saga continues at its present pace they will reach this target presently. The first film "Love • at First Bite" starred George Hamilton. The film was a very updated version of the traditional Dracula stor In this film Dracula con. New York, meets a beautiful lady and proceeds to aWp the crowd with his disco moves a' la John Travolta. She falls in love with him after he gives her two of his famous affectionate bites on the neck. If he bites her three times she, too, will become a vampire. All this time Richard Benjamin, a psychiatrist and her boyfriend sees that this new guy is a vampire and tries the traditional ways of killing him but gets the ways mixed up with other demons. The theme of the movie was predictably sex and beckoned the wittiest comments from the students. Typically the audience's soundtrack was louder than the film's at times but I guess that is what turns these kinds of kids on. This reporter is used to a more civilized review of 'a film and was not impressed. Attendance grew con- siderably, for the movie feature, "Monty Python's "Holy Grail" - many en- thusiasts brought props to enhance the. enjoyment .of. the film. "The Holy Grail", is a plotless, riotous, gross, hilarious, typically Monty Python film which brings out the best, or worst should I say in some of the less self- controlled individuals. The evening ended, or started, for some people at 11:30 providing three and a half hours of entertaining, if not bizarre films that were en joyed by all. The conduct of the students was generally good, but of course there were a few children who persisted in attention getting games, most of them feeling no pain. If you tried to ignore them your evening wasn't too bad. Senior basketball club in contention Movie night, minus long rowdy lines By MAUREEN GANS This yea'r under the new coaching of Casey Cook, the junior girls volleyball team is progressing very well, In the last set of league games, the girls won three of . four games.
