HIGHLIGHTS
from the
HIGH SCHOOL
Examinations are upon us, and news
is scarce, As in the past, this gives
us an opportunity to publish some of
the outstanding English essays writ-
ten during the year. Here is the first
one.
HAIR CUTS
by Pat Rider
Women have the most ridiculous
hair-cuts imaginable, according to the
"superior" sex. But what about your
haircuts, you men? I would not ex-
actly say they were the most sensible
things to be seen. Take the brush7cut
for instance: the only suitable place
far a brush-cut is on the end of a
broom! At least it suits that object
better than the boy, and •it is useful
too. If you visit any high school you
will find that about forty per cent of
the students are animated brooms.
Sometimes I might get' the inclination

FROM A SCRAP BOOK OF
PHILOSOPHY
The safety pin is now many years
old. There have been lots of changes
since it was invented.
Worry is like a rocking chair. It will
give you something to do, but it won't
get you anywhere.
One of the greatest labour-saving
devices of today is tomorrow.
Nowadays when your ship' comes in,
the government sees that it is docked.

Then there is the crew-cut. What
could be more stupid? How ridiculous
it looks when the wearer has his back
to the wind causing the lohg side-hair
to stand out. It makes -him look like
a duck about to take off.
But the one that, really takes the
prize Is the "Iroquois" cut. In this
style the hair is shaved away from
the center of the scalp, leaving two
hairy strips along the sides of the
head or vice-versa. If the former style
was used, the center strip could be
painted white, giving the impression
of being a skunk; or if the vice-versa
style is followed a man could look like
a jackass by pasting on a couple of
long ears.
Have you ever seen the "Busby"?
Perhaps not, for this is a family name
for an atrocious cut. This is my bro-
ther's favourite style, To wear it you
have to have a double crown and an
aversion to combs, brushes and bril-
liantine, But most of all you must
train your front locks to form bangs
as straight as a cat's whiskers (on my
brother's part this requires no visible
effort.)
Now that I have picked the men
apart I should like to stand up for
the women. A certain history teacher
recently said that he could not see
the point of girls wearing -the "pony-
tail." He said it was useful on the
pony because the animal used it for
swishing away the flies. Perhaps some
one shotild tell him that flies bother
girls, too, Anyway, You men can take
heart in the fact that perhaps a
hundred years from now you will have
sufficient reason to gripe about wo-
men's hair-cuts, By that time we will
probably be wearing our hair in the
shape of rocket-ships.
BASKET BALL
Rugby season is at last over and we
are now into basketball. Practices for
this winter sport started at the arm-
ouries last Tuesday night with a good
turnout for both teams.
For the juniors this year Keith Lan-
caster, Bill Foster, Doug Murray and•
Bruce Lott are the only second year
men, trying out. New additions are
Bill Henning, Jim Campbell, Jim New-
man, Bill Rintoul, John Wild, Ken
MacKenzie, Robert Gammage. Last
year the juniors won a game and this
year hope to do better. They are in a
league with Goderich, Clinton and
Seaforth, the same as rugby.
Now we come to the seniors. Last
year they had a comparatively good
record with several wins as I recall.
Holdovers from last years' team are
Neil Stainton, Ken Saxton, George
Hall, John Crawford, and Mac Camer-
eron. Others trying for the team, are
Bud Lott, George Porter, Peter Camp-
bell, Bill Laidlaw, Bev Brooks, Bob
McMurray and Bob Cathers. This
year's team looks very strong and
should finish the season well. The
league games will start sometime after
Christmas.
