Formal set
for May 28
Plans and decorations are
underway for the S.H.D.H.S.
formal, May 28 at the South
Huron Recreation Centre.
A Caribbean Cruise has
been chosen as the dance
theme, and event organizers
hope to create a nautical
atmosphere for. the dance.
Postcard murals from
sunny locations will cover
the walls around the multi-
level dance and seating area.
Only two thirds of the hall
facility will be used in an
attempt to create an in-
, timate atmosphere. The
Clubmen will provide the
music from nine until one
o'clock. -
Tickets. went on sale
Monday for six dollars single -
and $12 per couple. "We're
spending a little more money
on decorations this year and
adding a table of hors
d'oeuvres to help the at-.
mosphere and hopefully
attract more people," said
student council vice-
president and . formal
committee chairman, Marg
. Pym.
The decision to hold the
formal at the recreation
centre again this year, after
the move from • the high
school gymnasium last year,
was made in referendum last
winter.
I. think a lot of people don't
go to the formal because of
the money they think they
have to spend. I'd like to
stress that there's a lot of
unnecessary extravagance
that people go to; you don't
have to rent a tux," said
Pym. "It really isn't ex-
pensive when you think
about it. People often spend
twenty dollars on a normal
date."
Pym is expecting up to 200
persons to attend this year's
formal.
The Student of the Year
awards will be presented at
midnight.
SMILE
Too many people work
themselves into a lather
with soft soap.
"1 would like to keep
improving on the record of
this past year's council" said
president-elect, Jamie
Chaffe, Monday. He would
like to see the financial
situation of the council
improve, in anticipation of
further cuts in board of
education funding to
athletes. "Athletes are a
learning experience and the
board should fund them, but
if they don't the fundraising
burden will fall increasingly
on our shoulders." said
Chaffe.
To this end, he thinks
marathon activities, like this
year's danceathon which
. raised $800, provide a means
of increasing revenue.
Both Chaffe and first vice-
president, Sarah McClure
favour a decentralization of
power from the executive to
the whole council. "We need
to have the homeroom
representatives speak for
their class and'participate in
all major decisions. How can
we expect the res and the
students to promote and
participate in events they
weren't even involved in
planning. A lot can be done to
improve the feeling of
responsibility and par-
ticipation among the whole
council," suggested MClure.
McClure would also like to
see "less fear of breaking
tradition." She feels dif-
ferent ideas can be tried on a
small scale, with less
financial commitment and
their, depending on their
success tried on a larger
scale.
Different ideas flow like a
stream from second vice
president Rob Sangster, a
dark horse candidate who
edged Steve Riddell out of
thethird chief executive
position.
Campaigning under the
banner of the "Exeter
Liberation Front' Sangster
seemed to capture the
imagination of an otherwise"
apathetic and easily en-
fluenced electorate with his
plan to install FM stereo in
the cafeteria so that students
Short periods
paying off
"It seems to make Fridays
more palatable" said
S.H.D.H.S. principal' Joe
Wooden, about his decision
three weeks ago to run short
periods on Fridays and
dismiss students at 42:40
instead of 3:30.
By shortening classes by
five to 10 minutes and
trimming the noonhour by 20
minutes, Wooden says that
he has been able to improve
attendance and at the same
time not really hurt any one
class. "It's a psychological
play and so far it seems to be
working," said Wooden.
Several compliments but
no complaints on the change
have been received from
parents, according to
Wooden. He plans to con-
tinue the shortened days for
the duration of the school
year,' barring inclenfent
weathet.
can "Eat to the Beat" and
solve the .council's fun-
draising problems by leasing
the student parking lot as a
mulear waste Jump for "a
few hundred thousand."
"People wanted something
different when they voted for
me , and I promised to break
new ground - du things that
have never been done
before," said Sangster.
New intramural chair-
person, John McAllister
favours the elimination of
the house system. "It doesn't
work because people just
don't care," he said. Instead,
'be would like to see students
continue to make up their
own team. •
McAllister would like to
see the power structure of
the intramural executive
detached from the student
council. A student council
amendment to its con-
stitution just prior to the
election prevented several.
intramural executive
members from seeking re-
election.
Amendment or revision of
the presrsnt, constitution,
which is outdated, irrelevant
and vogue in many instances
should be an immediate
priority. If the council plans
to use this document, it must
use it all the time. All
executive members are
agreed on the necessity of
this action.
Grease
continues
Monday night, South
Huron's production of the
musical, "Grease" opened to
a sellout crowd of nearly 250
people. According to publici-
ty director Betty Jean Janke.
The showis sold out for tonight
but some tickets are still
available for the final night of
the stand, Thursday. These
tickets are available by call-
ing the school office, 235-0880
during school hours.
A strong singing cast under
the direction of Pat Quigley
and Colin Lowndes has made
a commendable effort with
this entertaining bit of '
nostalgia about cars, sex,
dances and drive-in movies in
the 1950's.
Cheerleaders
place third
The South Huron
cheerleading squid placed
third, two points behind first
place Goderich, at the
Huron -Perth Cheerleading
competition, Thursday in
Wingham. First at the recent
they Red and Black com-
petition, the team equalled
last year's placing in Huron -
Perth.
"We were still third but
last year the point spread
was a lot greater. In some
ways it's satisfying to . see
that we've improved, but
when you lose it might just
as well be twenty points as
two", saia team captain,
Sandy Somerville. South
Huron was one point behind
second -place Clinton in the
50 point scoring system.

Use little
of potential
In a lecture, entitled "The
Winning Edge," Dave,
Grace, co-ordinator of
Olympia Sports Camp, told a•
captive audience of 200
student athletes of South
Huron that the average
person uses only ten to fif,
teen percent of their
potential in their areas of ,
pursuit.
Through interesting and
inspiring examples, and
amusing examples, he tried
to suggest that success
comes from realizing un-
used potential. "Life needs
goals just like games and it
is only by setting them
realistically and then' trying
to reach them that we can
have success," said Grace.
He also stressed the im-
portance of the subconscious
in athletic success. "If you
don't think you can reach
your goal, you don't," he
said. Psychocybernetics,
the visualization or mental
practice of skills is an im-
portant part of athletic
training, according to Grace. wommoirimionwair

SH track team third
The South Huron track and
field team finished third
behind perennial champions
Stratford Central and a large
Goderich contingent at the
Huron -Perth track and field
meet, Monday at the Robarts
School in London.
Stratford Central compiled
591 points to Goderich's 520
and South Huron's 382.
Stratford Northwestern was
fourth with 205 points.
"We had lots of quality but
not a whole lot of quantity,"
said distance coach Joe
'Fulop about the team's.
placing.
Although the team slipped
down from last year's second
placing, the junior girl's
captured their division
pennant with 97 points to
Goderich's 96. Both the
senior girls and senior boys
teams fared well, finishing
second and third respec-
tively.
"Those who trained hard,
easily rose above the rest,"

coach Terry -O'Rourke.

petition which runs today
and tomorrow at J.W. Little
Stadium in London.
First place finishes in the

dles, 200 metres and the open

gave Susan McClure the
junior girl's individual
championship with a perfect
thirty points.
After finishing second in
her sprint hurdles heat,
McClure blasted away in the
final to run a quick 12.9
seconds. Her time ties her
for the number one WOSSA
ranking in the London Free
Press track chart.
Senior boy, Matt McClure
lowered his records in the 400
metre and open 400 hurdles
race as well as placing
second in the 200 metres.

training. He dropped four -
tenths from his 400 record

second from the hurdles

McClure was second to
Dave Lamont of Norwell in
the senior boy's individual
standings with 28 of a
possible thirty points.

leaped 5.31 metres for first
place in the long jump and

finish by Marybeth
Alexander, Jackie Cottrell
had three seconds as a junior
girl. In addition to her 135
second clocking in the 100,
Cottrell was second across
the line in the 200 and 400
metre sprints.

chored South Huron's second
place, junior 4x100 relay

boy's javelin with a throw of
48.15 metres. Kevin Parsons

metres was good enough to
earn Bruce Shaw second in
the senior shot put.
A personal best of 2:32.8
seconds in the senior girl's
800 metres got Alice Dietrich
second place. Dietrich was
also third in the 400 metre

Junior soccer
team wins four
In H -P meet
Two winsthirweek has given
the South Huron junior soccer
team a 4-1-1 final record and
a provable berth in the Huron,
Perth semi-finals, Friday.
Andrew Wintersscored two
goals, Monday, to lead the
Panthers to a 2-1 victory over
Madill. Ernie Szabo, Exeter's
net -minder made several
outstanding saves to keep
South Huron in the game.
The Panthers were poor
hosts to the Norwell Redmen,
Wednesday, as ,they .over-
powered the inferior
Palmerston squad 6-1.
Only two minutes into the
game, Norwell scored their
first and only marker. From
there on it was all South
Huron. Ian Munroe and An-
drew Winters each had two
goals, while Joe Martens and
Steve Gould each had singles.
Sr. soccer
The South Huron senior soc-
cer team's season came to a
disappointing conclusion
Monday in a 2-1 loss to
Wingham. Wednesday the
Panthers kept their 'playoff
hopes alive with a 2-1 win over
Norwell.
• Jeff Hohner and Mike
Tadgell scored Exeter's
markers as the team
dominated the play against
Palmerston. Norwell began to
threaten in the closing
minutes and eventually
scored their lone goal from a
corner kick.
Rich Helm had an outstan-
ding game in goal. After a
South Huron infringement in
the goal zone, Helm showed
excellent composure by stop-
ping a penalty kick.
Al Gaiser had the Panther's
only goal against Wingham.
South Huron trailed 2-0 at the
half as the result of
lackadaisical play on defence.
"The defence wasn't on top of
a 14 of plays and it resulted
in a couple of easy goals" said
coach Damian Solomon.
The Panthers' 3-3 final
record virtually destroys any
hopes the team had of making
the playoffs for the first time •
Since. the team's existence.
Although this year's squad
finished with one point less
than last year's.
Solomon said that "it was
the best team ever", the
Margin of victory' for the
other team was only one goal.
