At the first meeting of the school page club last week, after exams, it was discovered that a very import- ant member of the club was missing--our editor, Joan Leish- man. We never realized just how much work Joan had to do every week, until we, ourselves had to do it. We all hope that very soon Joan will be back as our chief organizer,' critic, joe-jobber, and editor. You never appreciate a person and what she does until she isn't there to do it! School Daze In the library at lunchtime, one confused student turned. in .puzzle- ment to his friend and asked, "If the plural of mouse is mice, why isn't the plural of spouse, spice?" Before the horrid tortures. of " exam writing, each teacher had, his/her own way to cheer up the nerve =wracked student ' MrS: Tiffin, in an attempt, told her class that, she wanted ,them to think of her exam as a game. In the stillness of the room, a voice spoke up. "Yeh!. And when We get to the, end of the paper it'll probably say, you lose! Ga back to question one!' . • One grade nine boy, after 'a rigorous workout in phys ed, rushed back into the changeroom only to find that his jeans were missing. Very much upset, he pleaded with his fellow classmates. "Aw. emon you guys. Give them back: What would people say if I went down the hall like this?" This achieved no success, so he told his plight to his teacher. The teacher 'detained the class and informed them that no one would be disniissed until the • jeans were found. A dead silence fell over the room. • Everyone looked at each other, but no one made a' move, The final bell sounded. A look of terror crept into the eyes. and everyone whispered that they were going to be late. The teacher, not anxious to have a hysterical mob on hiS hands dismissed them. The teacher and the pantless student made a thorough search of the locker room. Finally. in the last, empty locker in the bottom row. there they were. The student yanked them on, grabbed up his books and tore alto the next class. only to find he was already late. Discovering this, he slowly started down to the office for a late slip, his third one that day.

"Doctor Zhivago", David Lean's, film of Boris Pasternak's novel is one of the great motion pictures of our time. Winner of six Academy Awards and countless international honours, the picture stars Ornar Sharif, Julie Christie. .Geraldine Chaplin, Rod Steiger, Alec Guin- ess, Tom Courtenay, Siohban McKenna. Sir Ralph RichardsOn and Itita Tushingham, a cast that truly reflects the magnificence of Pasternak's classic. The novel. "Doctor Zhivago' although suppressed in Paster- nak's native Russia, has been hailed by critics as a literary masterpiece. For it, Pasternak was awarded the 1958 Nobel 'Prize for • Literature, but attracted worldwide attention when 'he "voluntarily" renounced the prize as. an alterna- tive to: expulsion from the Soviet Union. The dramatic story . of "Doctor Zhivago•• evokes the whole exper- ience of Russia in the past fifty, years and is presented through many characterS whose destinies are interwoven. "Claudine", starring Diahann Carroll and James Earl Jones opens December 14 at the Lyceum Theatre. It, is a( tough, yet compas- sionate romantic comedy .which examines the problems of a Black unwed welfare mother as she attempts to raise her six children against seemingly insurmountable odds. Diaharin Carroll received an Academy Awatd nomination for her role as Claudine. Playing on the same program with "Claud- ine!' is "M.AIS.H."1 the black comedy about war, which. led to the popular television series of the same name. 'Starring are Donald Sutherland. Elliott Gould and Sally Kellerman: Guest Editorial Did you know that two opposing forces, those seeking minimum, energy or maximum randomness, 'are found in all chemical process- es? No? Neither did I--until this startling fact was told to me in chemistry. It's all part of this particular stage in my life--I'm being "Educated". That's why people attend High Schools; Colleges and Universit- ies. We're all trying to get an education. Yet each one of us has asked ourselves: Why? What? and Why do I keep oni at some' time during our school years. What, is education anyway? Certainly not a piece of paper which states you have" graduated with such-and-such a' degree. Maybe it could be defined as being all the knowledge each of, us has stored in the nooks and crannies of our brains. It might be the abilities we have which enable us to hold a job in the working world. Or is education knowing all abriut fam- ous artists and being , able to speak in Latin?

On what basis, then, are we comparing their "educations"? :I have read many articles, in which I found the authors feared the youth of today were being "over-educated". Many young people, they feel, go on to ' post-secondary education simply because they don't know what else to do with their lives. I cannot say whether, or not these statements are true. I do feel however, that each student must find his personal definition of the word "education'', and, discover how important it is for him—persOnally and profeSsionally. His career arid his happiness, depend upon it. By MARJORIE POWELL, 13B. LUCKNOW CHRISTIAN Ve. REFORMED CHURCH Rev. L.

Nancy Warren, 11K. News And Views From Students At F.E. Madill Secondary School . Personally, I feel education is all that a person learns from the second he is born till the second he dies. We are educated throughout our lives in many Ways. Self- education, such , as learning from the books that we read, is one way. We learn through experience--once we touch a hot element. on the stove, we know enough not to do it again. We learn from others--our parents, friends, relatives-- just about everyone we come in contact with. And of course., our teachers at school, who try to teach us the three R's. The aim of a formal education, I think, is to prepare each student for the career of his choice. Many people assume, however, that the greater the number of years spent in post-secondary school education, the "more educated" a person is. A scientist is considered to be a well-educated man.
