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 INTRAMURAL SLATE - The intramual executive for 1982-83 at SHDHS was elected recently. From the left are staff advisor Colin Lowndes, Tony Wales, Graham Solomon, John McAllister, George Tomes and Brenda Bell. 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," commented spunts and field coach Terry -O'Rourke. Twenty-five athletes qualified for WOSSA com- petition which runs today and tomorrow at J.W. Little Stadium in London. First place finishes in the junior girl's 80 metre hur- dles, 200 metres and the open girl's 400 metre hurdles, 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. Despite a quadricep injury that hindered his last week training. He dropped four - tenths from his 400 record with a time of 51.4 and over a second from the hurdles record with -his 58.3 clocking. McClure was second to Dave Lamont of Norwell in the senior boy's individual standings with 28 of a possible thirty points. Midget, Tim Easterbrook, leaped 5.31 metres for first place in the long jump and was second in the triple jump with 10.83 metres. Nipped at the 100 metre 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. In addition, Cottrell an- chored South Huron's second place, junior 4x100 relay • team. And third place 4-400 squad. Other members of the 4x100 team were Esther Van Oss, Maja Gans and Susan McClure. The distance relay team consisted of Cottrell, Alice Dietrich, Esther .Van Oss and Sharon Rundle. In the field, Faye Gaiser was first in junior girl's discus with her throw of 29.89 metres. In the javelin, Gaiser's loss' of 31.82 metres was second to the record toss of. 32.85 by Stratford Cen- tral's Karen Ridgewell.. Derek Hippern was the junior javelin with his throw of 46.96 metres.ippern was third in the shotput. Jeff Rowe won the senior boy's javelin with a throw of 48.15 metres. Kevin Parsons was first in the discus with 35.40 metres and Greg Prout was third. A toss of 12.40 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 and 400 metre hurdle races. Jacqui Hyde outdistanced her nearest competition by more than half a metre as she was the senior girl's long jump with a leap of 4.87 metres. Hyde was second in the 100 metre and anchored the senior 4x100 relay team of Sarah McClure, Alice Dietrich and Sharon Rundle. MClure for her part, won the senior girl's high jump and placed second in the 100 metre hurdles. Irene Dietrich had two thirds in the midget girl's 800 metre and 1,000 metre races. Other second place finishes. included: Randy Bilke, midget boys javelin; Maja trans, junior girls long jump; Randy Ford, . open 2000 metre steeplechase; Mary Lou Rundle, senior girl's 3000 metres. . The following South Huron athletes were third in their events. Andrea Pearce, midget girls discus; Susan Birmingham, junior. girl's 800 metre; Greg Hern, junior boy's 200 metres; Judy Van Oss, senior girl's 1,500 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. .
