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.

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.

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.
