' Who knows what lies ahead?
Course selection difficult
By BRENDA J. PEPPER
In •the area of course selection,
a hard time is always anticipated
because no one really knows
where the future will lead them.
You cannot be expected to know
what lies ahead, so you are
almost at a loss to decide upon
the courses you want. Here is
some information which might
Semester change
for some courses
By KATHY STECKLE
South Huron students are
entering the second semester
this week..Only_ a..small- percen-
tage o[ courses are affected by
this change. The half credit
courses include home
economics, some technical
studies and also year three and
year four English courses.
This change means that the
subject taken up to this week is
completed: an exam has been
written and hopefully a half
credit has been earned.
Most students are welcoming
the change for it helps to break
the year and then boredom does
not become a problem. Other
students are not really sure
about the switch. That may be
because it is a new experience
for them. However. all will settle
in nicely and the uncertainty that
was in their minds will dis-
aPpear.
The big change is here whether
students are ready or not. To
console those with doubts. just
remember the school year is half
over.
be useful to those who will be
entering South Huron next fall.
For students coming into
grade nine, English is a require-
ment. Also, if you hope to go on
to a post secondary education,
math, science, French, history
and geography are strongly
recommended. These give a good
balance of subjects which are the
basis for many others. Physical
and health education is impor-
tant as well perhaps because it
allows for a break in an
academic day, and supplies a
channel for excess energy.
A student may take a max-
imum of eight credits. Most se=
cond year courses require a first

year prerequisite.
Students who select Technical
Studies 142 in year one will
-• receive instruction in six
technical areas. This
programme has a value of two
credits. Such students should
select six other credits for a total
of eight credits. The technical
courses numbered 150 are one
credit courses. Students may
select one or two. but not more
than two. Students may not
select both types of technical
courses. ie. 150 and 142.
For those who wish to enter1a
secretarial course there is a typ-
ing and consumer education
course. Each of these is worth
one credit and are very helpful in
their respective fields.
The choices made now could
affect your entire life, so talk to
parents, teachers, sisters and
brothers. Learn as much as you
can and choose carefully.
S.H. may get
computer in fall
By C. W. LONG
In February the Huron County
Board of Education wilt be asked
to approve a proposal to instal a.
computer at S.H.D.H.S. If ap-
proved, the computer will be in
operation for September 1975.
This proposal is being
recommended by a county -wide
committee, consisting of 10
teachers and the Board ad-
ministrators, which has been
meeting since September.
The computer and the related
courses, are intended to help
those who may be interested in a
career in computers or those who
want to learn something about
computers for their own interest
and protection.
There are two "streams"
available for computer oriented
students. Basic programming 300
and Advanced Programming 400
is for students not planning on
attending university.
Computer Science 300 and 400 is
for the university bound. We
expect to have Computer Science
550 available in September 1976.
Informatics 200 is an in-
troductory course which explores
data processing and information
systems in general not just
computers.
The total local cost of the
computer will be recovered in
less than two years from savings
from current operations.
Sell beads
for charity
By ZELDA INTHOUT
Last week, students were given
5 25 the opportunity to support a very
0 12 worthwhile cause, in the eyes of
5 21 most of the student body.
13 Necklaces and chokers made by
31 women of this area were sold
8 outside the cafeteria doors for
minimal fees. The chokers sold
85 for $1.50 and the necklaces sold
for $3.00.
The money brought in from the
61 sale of these neckpieces is to be
60 sent overseas to an orphanage in
60 Darjeeling, India. The orphanage
51 is named "Paul's House" in
23 memory of Paul Robinson, a late
0 18 student of S.H.D.H.S. The or-
0 9 phanage itself is run by Brother
Bob Mittleholtz and is non-
denominational.
The work done on the necklaces
and the sale of them was done by
volunteers. There is no profit
made and all of the money will go
to the orphanage.

Junior Outers campout,
rain made it uncomfortable
By MARY WARBURTON
On January 24, the Junior
Outers group spent a night out'
under the stars at Hay Swamp.
The group, now under the direc-
tion of Mr. Holmes who is filling
Mr. Probizanski's position.
boarded the bus and left the
school at approximately 4 p.m. A
few ;color outers also went along
since their campout was cancell-
ed due to the absence of Mr.
Girard and Mr. Mills.
Upon reaching our destination.
work .constructing shelters
started. Most built a lean-to
made of branches tied together
and large plastic sheets. Martin
VanRaay and Roy Milton made a
snow fort with a sheet of plastic
for the roof.
Unfortunately it started to rain
before some had finished making
the lean-to and before anyone
had their fire going. But campers
came prepared with trench
candles which were made
previously. These did help but
the wood was wet and therefore
the fires were smokey.
Sleeping wasn't too bad - once
you got to sleep - but a lot of peo-
ple got up in the early hours of
the morning to keep warm by the
fires.
In the morning, after it had
rained a good part of the night, it
was obvious that Hay Swamp
was well named. When everyone
had packed up their gear, all
�Itherl their way to the bus. It
v '. about l0 a.m. when the
Junior Out rs arrived at the high
'.r•honl.
It was the opinion of most that
the campout was great. Even the
rain didn't succeed in spoiling
the effect. but most agreed that
it would have been better without
the rain.
Many people seemed to think
that Outers were crazy to go
camping in the winter but, crazy
or not, they enjoyed it.
Teachers explain options
new courses available
By N. BAKER
Students at S.H.D.H.S. had the
opportunity this week to meet
and talk with teachers they may
not normally see during their
school year.
It's option time at the local high
school and with over 140 courses
available teachers from each
department visited home forms
to try and shed some light on the
various courses a student may
choose.
Courses available run all the
way from advanced computer
programming to the more
traditional Latin 450. In between
there are a multiplicity of
Big Brother organization
planned for County
Huron County will soon have a
Big Brother program.
A meeting of interested
residents, recreation leaders,
clergymen and representatives
of the Huron County Children's
Aid Society (CAS) determined
Monday night that there is suf-
ficient interest to warrant the
program.
Asteering committeehas been
formed to get the program un-
derway as soon • as possible.
Cathy Cruickshank,
representative of the Children's
Aid Scoety, said Wednesday that
all schools in Huron County had
been Contacted to search their
files for the names of fatherless
boys who would be eligible for the
program.
Organizer, Greg Lawrence of
Goderich, a public school teacher
and' former Big 'Brother in
Brantford said he expected the
program could involve about 15
Little Brothers in its first year of
operation.
YACMR kids
host meeting
By MARION JOHNSON
South Huron YACMR has
finally decided to come out of
hibernation after one month cf
rest. On February 1 a meeting for
the two regions in this area vas
hosted at Arc Industries, Dash-
wood. Those attending were
members from Winghatr.
Stratford, Woodstock, Waterloo.
Guelph and Kitchener.
The purpose of the meeting was
to get to know these people and to
plan activities together helpin -
make the lives of the mental,v
retarded as normal as possib:e
Activities for this area will t.;

announcements to find out wh.
and where the meetings are.
Some of the trainees from Are

say hello. You will find them
willing to talk and very friendly.
A little bit of friendliness on your
part does not take much.
If you have some spare periods
get together with some friends
and gd visit Arc Industries. Let
Mr. Fry know you are coming. go
out and get to know the trainees.
The workers will appreciate any
help you can give. If you are
willing to help there is work you
can do.
Cathy Cruickshank said that
this is a standard number to work
towards in the first year because
• of the work involved in matching
the Little Brothers with their Big
Brothers. She said that- they
usually have more eligible little
brothers than volunteers to
match up with them.
A Big Brother must be 18 years
sof age or over and an involved
interviewing and screening
process is carried out to make
sure the Big Brother and his
charge will get along well.
Mr. Lawrence said that an ad
hoc committee of interested
persons will continue to establish
particular needs and specific
goals, with a view to getting the
program into operation as soon
as possible.
The group has already been
promised financial support from
CAS and the moral support of
recreation committees in
Brussels. Seaforth, Goderich,
Clinton and Exeter.
Working in co-operation with
the CAS the group will try to
determine the number of
fatherless boys aged six to six-
teen across the county. •
Mr. Lawrence said that boys
will be referred to the program
by school, parents, relatives,
friends, ministers and
probation officers.
The steering committee will
meet again next Tuesday to
discuss the results of the school
survey.
Interested persons are invited
to contact Cathy Cruickshank at
the Children's Aid Society offices
in Goderich or Greg Lawrence,
organizer of the program at 524-
7778.
The first public meeting will
probably be held in Goderich in
• the third week of February.
English, history, math, com-
mercial and technical subjects.
Each student has a student
information and course
description book, however many
want more detailed information,
thus the visits from the teachers.
Questions ran all the way from,
"What is it?" to a request for a
detailed course outline.
Guidance personnel and ad-
ministration staff are available
for consultation but with over
1,000 students each requiring an
individual time -table a concerted
effort is being made to give
students as much information as
possible before they make sub-
ject selections.
While all _course options are
important,'perhaps the grade 13
selections are most vital since
universities scutinize subjects
and marks obtained carefully
before admitting prospective
university candidates. At the
grade 13 level 15 courses are
offered.
There are two English. three
launguages, history, sociology,
three sciences , three maths and
accounting 550.
The courses to be offered next
year depend on which subjects
students choose, so their selec-
tions become of major concern.

Lucan council consider
plow purchase in fall
A sidewalk snowplow, with
grass mowing attachments,may
be in the offing for Lucan. Under
consideration is the purchase of a
812,000 machine from Trackless
MT, Woodstock.
Councillor Norm Steeper wants
to make a priority schedule to
distribute finances where they
are most needed now. He was
concerned that only the paved
streets would be maintained,
while those streets with pot -holes
would not be kept up to good
repair. It is his belief that money
for the machine could be put to
better use now.
No subsidies are available for
the purchase, according to,Reeve
Ivan Hearn. However there are
some methods to obtain money.
Councillor Harry Wraith noted
that assessment from 40 new
homes could provide the needed
money. Also for consideration is
money from the- sale of the
.firehall last year.
At present Main Street
sidewalks are cleared w)th a
bucket and backhoe. The
sidewalks on streets other than
Main Street are not done.
Mr. Hearn argued that the
village has new sidewalks that
can't even be seen in the winter,
because there is no way of
clearing them.
Councillor Larry Hotson noted
that winter seems nearly over,
and suggested that a decision be
made in the fall. He also said that
in another year there would be
more work for the machine than
in the remainder of this year.
A letter is to be sent to The
Woodstock firm, thanking them,
and stating that a decision will be
made at the spring budget
meeting, whether or not to
purchasethe machine before fall.
The Ministry of the Environ-
ment was to report. on the
capacity of village sewers but the
report has not been received.
Council made the formal ap-
plication to the Ministry of
Transportation & Com-
munication for the balance owing
on road and connecting link
subsidies for 1974.
A letter was received from the
Lucan Hydro Commission
meeting of January 9 requesting
a higher rate of pay for
meetings. The suggestion was
made that members receive 820
for regular meetings and 825 for
special meetings, to a maximum
of six special meetings annually.
The letter suggested also that the
ratt�ss��for the chairman,be raised
to $25 for a regufar meeting and
830 for special meetings. The
same rates would apply for
perdiem or special day meetings
out of town.
Mike Roy from Biddulph
Central School, in a letter to
council, states that he is
documenting the history of
Middlesex County. The title of the
book is "Man and Middlesex"
and is to be circulated in area
public schools, hopefully by
September 1975. Mr. Roy asked
for any assistance to find in-
terestingpersons or information in
Biddulph Township.
Lucan council members have
been invited to attend a workshop
in London featuring dialogue on
regional government . At the
meeting will be representatives
from the Town of Simcoe, the
Regional Municipality of
Hamilton -Wentworth and the
restructured Oxford County.
Reporting for the committee
investigating parking on Main
Street, Larry Hotson said that
businessmen were complying
with the request not to park on
the street for long periods of
time. Mr. Hotson said that if they
did not co-operate, council would
be forced to pass a two hour
parking bylaw. A decision on the
matter was deferred for one
month so Mr. Hotson could keep
an eye on the situation.
Councillors Gary McFalls and
Larry Hotson were appointed
council's representatives to the
Lucan Arena Board, to serve two
years each. London, McGillivray
and Biddulph Townships were to
appoint one member each, but
have not contacted Lucan Council
as yet.
Because Reeve Hearn must
attend other meetings, the next
session of Lucan council will be
held on March 6.
