You Never Miss
A Person Until . . .
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

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?

well-educated man. Both are
equally competent in their chosen
careers. 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.

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. Is the skilled
carpenter considered to be a
