No time for boredom atCHSS Blyth businesswoman dies BY LISA BOONSTOPPEL With all the activities and special events happening at C.H.S.S. (Central Huron Secondary School) this school could never be called boring. There is something for every student to participate in C.H.S.S. Spirit. A successful fundraiser organ­ ized by Students’ Council has been the sale of T-shirts and golf shirts. The students have a choice of three different colours of shirt and logo at an inexpensive $10. The $19 golf shirts too, offer a wide range of variations. The shirts have been selling at a furious pace to help pay for the spring formal in May. A contest for the artists who express their talent in photography has been arranged. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third best as well as having the honour of the photographs displayed in the annual yearbook. Awhile back students filled out a questionnaire answering personal inquiries of interests, habits and ideals. These questionnaires were filed into a computer to match up compatible people. The lists inclu­ The International Scene Continued from page 4 of business, either to get some money or to deposit a few extra ducats, the money lender had to get up and go to his strong box. What Shakespeare didn’t tell you was that the poor man suffered from gout and all that running around didn’t make his disposition any more friendly. He hit upon the strategy of keeping a small strong box on his desk, putting a bit of money into it each morning when he arrived for the day’s work and hoping that this would do for most of the day. He was surprised, nay delighted, to discover that such a ploy was far more effective than he had imagined. He seldom had to go to his big strong box, his gout improved as did his temperament and he never had to resort to demands for pounds of flesh in order to make his point. The thought then occurred to him that it might be possible to determine just how much money it would be necessary to put in the little box each morning in order to have just enough for his day’s business. By trial and error he finally came to a figure, which was 10 per cent. Can you imagine what joy such a Middleton’s Home Furnishings Inc. at THE HOME PLACE in Wingham has 2 big announcements to make. ’ We are pleased to inform you that Mr Bruce Williams has recent- j ly joined our staff as general manager.

In response to the inevitable question “Is computer dating worth the two dollar cost?” one should ask the 12 students who found their mates through this innovative service. For the graduating students of this year, portraits were taken by Alton Photography. As well as group pictures, Rob Cluff photo­ graphed students who wished to have memorable reminders of their friends and classmates. The finished portaits have been selling to the interested students at a cost of $5 for a 5 x 7 and $3.50 for a 4 x 5. A special event that took place on Friday night drew anxious specta­ tors to see if this year’s basketball team could beat past graduates. Unfortunately for the school but fortunately for those who have left it, the grads won with a score of 68-64. Central Huron should be proud of the competitive and skilled grads it has turned out. So, for the time being anyway, students aren’t bored at school because they’re just too busy. discovery would bring to any money lender. Nowfor the first time he would know exactly just how much of his deposits he would have to keep on hand for the day’s business and how much he could safely lend out. A little more thought on the matter led him to require his depositors to let him know in advance if they had any intention of drawing out large sums so that he could have it ready when they arrived. After all, he didn’t want anybody of the Lucre­ tia Borgia School of Public Rela­ tions getting angry at him. What has all this got to do with the modern world, you will ask? If you care to check with your friendly money lender(banker), you will find that both of these discoveries are now law. You will note in your savings passbook that the bank will require a specific period of time, if it so desires, before it gives you part or all of your deposits. In addition, the 10 per cent rule is required banking. Banks must keep about 10 per cent on hand while they are free to lend out the rest. And you thought that history or Shakespeare or even both were dull! Come on now!
