Kendra Arthur and Angelina Malik were the girl's doubles winners. Boy's doubles partners George Pratt and Scott Bogart won the WOSSA championship with Brian Topp and Pam Cottrell finishing second in the mixed competition. The skill of South Huron's badminton players were far superior to the opposition. The two championship pairs did not lose any games. Coach Pat Rowe realized that there was not a terrible amount of pressure on her players but is justifiably proud of their achievement. All four WOSSA winners graduate to the senior ranks ANOTHER• AWARD In last week's report of the Exeter Hawks award ban- quet, one trophy presentation was omitted. Ed Willis won the Pfaff Electric trophy for team leadership. next year and should be OFSSA finalists. There is no junior all -Ontario competition. The mixed team of Brian Topp and Pam Cottrell lost to Norwich but proved their mettle under pressure to beat the same team in the semi- finals. Listowel, Huron -Perth and WOSSA champions, pro- ved too strong for the Exeter pair in the finals. Rowe has great plans for this pair who are juniors again next year. She says they should be WOSSA cham- pions in 1984. She sees Topp'as a very strong athlete and Itas seen Cottrell improve, especially under pressure. South Huron narrowly missed the WOSSA team title. Listowel won with 29 points. Exeter earned 27 points. Huron -Perth completely dominated the Western On- tario tournament, winning four of the five events. London high school badminton is very weak. The badminton season is over for all South Huron players but we will hear much more about these six athletes in next year's competitions.

The objectives of Work Ex, perience Week are two -fold: This week • provides graduating Commercial and Technical course students with the opportunity to in - teract with the real world of work, to observe and ex= perience how the knowledge and skills which they have ac- quired in the classroom are applied in a job situation. It also enables the students to gain some' "hands-on" ex- perience on the job. For area employers. Work Experience Week provides an opportunity to acquire ap- prentices, typists and clerks. who already possess basic knowledge and skills related to the needs of the various employers. in the past, work week participants have become useful and valuable employees for area firms.

TIGER TIMES Hi, this is Tony Tiger. This week we have some fantastic articles for you to read. Such as Education Week, the Science Circus, Room 4's play, the Arts and Crafts win- ners, Room 5's visit. to the Crediton fire hall and much, much more. We hope you en- joy our articles as much as you enjoy the rest of the newspaper. Denise Hendrick. Wednesday, Room 6 had a survey about our classmates. We were given a questionaire and told to write down what classmate we thought were just like those on the paper. Susan Ratz. Exploring a Firehall - Mrs. Deelstra's Grade 5 class visited the Crediton fire department. The students found out what equipment the firemen used and how they used it. They also viewed the fire trucks a,id the pumper truck. The firemen showed them how they spray water and how the pumps work. Following this the pupils had a ride on a truck. After asking the firemen questions they had a drink and some ice cream. Trophies were also presented to the winners of the fire safety rster conteet. Those being honoured were Peter Con- way, Michelle Chalmers, Brett Borden, Wanda Turn- bull, Jason Finkbeiner, Julie Schade. (Bob Vandeworp, Brent Love.) In Literature Room 4 studied a story called Elbo Grease. We got into groups of 5 or 6 and formed plays from the story. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri- day, Monday and Tuesday, May 3-10 we put them on for the rest of the class. Charlene Browning. Education Week From April 25 to the 29th was Education Week at our school. On Tuesday and Wednesday the parents could come in and listen to the classes. During that time the Arts and Crafts fair was on display in the hall. Parents could also on Thursday come and watch us skip in the Jump Rope for Heart. Friday was a P.D. day so the school was not Soccer clubs score dynamic victories Things are looking up for both senior and junior soccer teams at South Huron. They scored dynamic wins against Mitchell last Wednesday in the first of a string of home games. A depressing spirit problem that has plagued their recent games was over- come as the strong Blue Devils were defeated. The junior's 2-1 win could have been no scores against except for a slip in the mud. Goalie, Ernie Szabo who has been effective was unable to catch a Mitchell kick because of the mud. Dave Dougall and Joe Martens were the scorers for South Huron with the defense playing a good game. Mit- chell had a better win -loss record going into Wednes- day's game but Exeter coach Bruce Eccles felt his team put on an impressive display after recent inconsistent play. He believes that "if they play as well as they did in this game (Mitchell) they'll have . tin problems." Listowel travels to Exeter today. South Huron will host Goderich and Clinton Friday and next Mon- day, respectively to end the ' regular season. These junior teams are strong and Exeter will have to win at least two to clinch a play off spot. Their two wins, two losses, and tie record will have to be improved. The senior soccer team has the same record, the same game schedule and is also looking for wins in their three remaining games. The 2-0 win over Mitchell was a great needed spirit booster. South Huron pulled everything together against the as yet undefeated Blue - Devils. Coach Jim Workman saw his team "play soccer the way it should be played". George Tomes and Jeff 'Er- nie' ltohner scored for Exeter. Workman has switched the positions of several players as he experiments with different systems. A major change has put John Vanesbroeck as a sweeper in front of the goalie. Workman feels his ability as a kicker and game overseer will work better behind the team. South Huron's for- wards are working together more now but Workman would like to see more shots on goal. The physically big team from Listowel should be defeated today. Workman feels their football team turn- ed soccer players will be easier opponents than the -tough Goderich and Clinton teams. Huron -Perth soccer semi- finals are Friday May 20 with the finals the following Tuesday. ' Ready for tennis?

WOSSA CHAMPS South Huron District High School had two WOSSA badminton champs and o second place finisher. Scott Bogart and George Pratt were doubles champs and Brian Topp and Pam Cottrell were second in mixed competition. In front Kendra Arthur and Angelina Malik were first in girls' doubles. Huron -Perth track meet continues lluron-Perth track and field began last night at the Vik- ing's new track in Goderich. Competition continues with the majority of events being run today. The top three finishers in each event will compete at WOSSA in Tillsonburg next Wednesday and Thursday. Tillsonburg also hosts the Western Regional meet on Saturday May 28. The top four athletes in each event from WOSSA qualify for the Regionals which are a step before OFSSA which will be held in Kitchener.Track and field is the only high school sport that needs a Regional meet to narrow down the competition. South Huron should have many WOSSA qualifiers with a few athletes advancing fur- ther. With good weather several Huron -Perth records may fall to South Huron athletes. The SH team had an oppor- tunity to try out Goderich's • new rubberized track and field facilities at a tri -meet last today in Goderich Tuesday. The rain, wind and cold put a damper on the com- petition amongst Goderich, Stratford Central and South Huron, the three strong Huron -Perth track teams. South Huron's large squad of midget girls may have a chance for the team title. Lee O'Rourke has a future as a sprint hurdler and long jumper - achieving firsts in both at Goderich. Brenda Wilson and Paulette Rothbauer should be WOSSA qualifiers in the high jump. In the throws Andrea Pearce has a good chance. Midget boy throwers Dave Woodfine and Sean Whiteford both had wins at Goderich. Ed Thuss and Glenn Durie will have to be strong in the long distance races. WIN DRAW South Huron's senior boys' basketball team recently held a draw to raise money for. their basektball program. Jenny Merrylees won a side of pork. A $50 gift cretificate was won by Jim Parker. Middle distance juniors Irene Dietrich, Sue Birm- ingham and Colleen Regier are in form for good Huron - Perth placings. Derik Hippern has the abili- ty to .win the junior boys javelin. At the Seaforth Neilsen Classic held last Saturday `Hippy' won with a throw of 49 metres but has thrown over 56 metres. The Senior boy throwers should also dominate with Jeff Rowe and Kevin Parsons, Faye Gaiser hasn't thrown well lately, but should have it together for todays javelin and discus eompetitions. Alice Dietrich and Sarah. McClure combine field events with their races on the track and should both be WOSSA competitors. Susan McClure should do well in the senior • girls sprints and hurdles. South Huron has little chance for the overall team ti- tle against the powerhouse Stratford Central squad. In- dividual titles may be earned by South Huron athletes. 4
