Still. seek theme for formal dance Student council SHDHS students have the opportunity to directly con- tribute to their spring formal. The Students' Council is offer- ing two formal tickets for each suggested theme for the formal including name, floor plan, budget and location, that passes a Feasibility screening panel consisting of the executive and formal manager Judy Van Oss. The ideas will be displayed to the school for a student vote next Monday. The band 'Traces' has been booked for May 25. The executive hopes to receive many ideas to pre- sent a variety of feasible plans to the students. The controversy of location of the formal continues with advantages for both the high school gymnasium and the rec centre.

SHDHS students enjoyed the events of last week's winter week. The Horror movie and scavenger hunt had many participants. Tropical Tuesday transform- ed the school into a Hawaiian holiday as puhch was served and a. noon hour dance featured best -dressed con- tests, limboing, answers to the great navel battle and the very popular luscious legs contest of which Lovekesh Malik was the deserving winner. Wacky winter Wednesday saw students activity com- peting in showshoe races, wheelbarrow races, pig- gyback ,fights and spon- taneous snowball wars. Teacher Wally Webster and his crew were victorious over Principal Bruce Shaw's sled in the teacher's toboggan race. The Buffalo -based band 'Cheeks' kept the students dancing through two encores after a rather sluggish start on Friday night. The failure of Mentalist Mike Mandel to show upforhis Thursday performance postponed the hilarious antics until Monday. Backwards Bob Gray awed the filled gymnasium with hir amazing memory. The audience relish- ed the opportunity to laugh at the ludicrous actions of their brave schoolmates who sub- mitted to the suggestive powers of Mandel.

The week began Friday with the horror movie "Hell Nite." Tuesday the school held Tropical Tuesday. Student dressed up for. the day by wearing their summertime clothes. During the noon -hour a dance was held and the best - dressed students were award- ed free tickets to Friday's dance. Also during the noon -hour dance, South Huron'sfemale populations banded together to decide which male student sported the nicest looking legs. Situated behind a cur- tain which only revealed their legs, the boys displayed their lower limbs to a highly en- thusiastic crowd. Lovekesh Malik won the coveted Lady - Bic Shaver Award. Wednesday was dubbed "Wacky Winter Wednesday". Students dressed warmly and met at the east -end of the school where they par- ticipated in toboggan races, wheelbarrow races, snowshoe .races, snow piling contests and piggy -back fights. The highlight of the competitions was the King -Of -The -Hill con- test in which teams battled over the possession of the snow hill in the parking lot. Thursday was originally planned as the day Mike Mandel and Backwards Bob were going to visit the school. Unfortunately, Mike Mandel was in a car accident the night before and was unable to attend as scheduled. In- stead, Drew Hasselback brought his records and the students council organized a last minute dance. The dance was quite successful 'and those in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves. Friday, the school held a dance, this time featuring a live band. The band was a group from London called "Cheeks" and they managed to entertain the crowd with several popular songs. Monday, Mike Mandel and Bob Grey did manage to make it to the school Mike Mandel is a popular hyp- notist. His friend, Backwards Bob, is a unique performer. When given a phrase of words, Bob can repeat them backwards with almost no thought at all. He can do this in two ways. First he repeats the word the way it would phonetical- ly sound backwards, then he pronounces the word the way it would sound if written backwards. To prove his ability he said a random phrase given to him by the au- dience backwards into a tape player. When the tape was revers- ed, the phrase emerged the way it was originally stated. Bob also had an uncanny memory and was able to give the capital, population and area of any country in the world. Mike Mandel provided an interesting show with his hypnotic powers. His subjects provided much entertainment for the au- dience, believing that they were on a train passing a nudist colony and that they were unable to tie their shoes. Mike's performance ended Winter Week at South Huron. LEG INSPECTION — Ang Fleming and Darcy Ducharme inspect two unidentified contestants in Tuesday's Luscious Legs contest at SHDHS.

Smart eo le don't get te says safety y m an the temptation to move around a lot because physical. exertion also increases heat Toss. Smart people don't get frostbite, says Don Howarth, because they dress for cold weather. Don's concerned with frostbite and weather in his job as an area safety co- ordinator for TransCanada Pipelines, which has 1,000 miles of pipe running across some of the chilliest parts of Ontario. As part of the company's safety program. Howarth trains staff instructors in St. John Ambulance first aid, so that they can train fellow employees. Safety and prevention are part of St. John training, and Howarth says it's effective. "Our staff are aware of the potential for danger because of the first aid training". Besides, he says, most of the people are northerners, and they're smart about the weather. They can't hiber- nate, so they learn to live and work in the cold with a proper respect for its effects. "North country people aren't fashion conscious the way we are in the soul!!. Everybody dresses for the cold". Even if you're just going to work in town, he says, put on a hat. You lose body heat fast when your head is bare. Mitts are warmer than gloves in really cold weather, and you can wear socks and snuggies under fashionable clothes, and no one will ever know. If you're really going out in- to the weather, wear layers of clothes that breathe, beginn- ing with long -johns.

If you are going to go some distance on skis or snowmobile, take along a foil blanket, a compass, food, and a pressure bandage and triangular bandage. They'll all fit in a very small very lighweight package to stra around your waist o shoulders. You're wise to use a buddy system too, Howarth says, in case of accident or frostbite. If you're frostbitten, you may not know it, but someone look- ing at you will. Frostbite looks white and hard. First aid treatment is gradual warm- ing with body heat. Put your hands over frostbitten face or ears. Tuck fingers under your arms, inside your jacket. Warm frostbitten feet with your hands, or tuck them under your buddy's arms. If the problem is not frostbite, but freezing, get the victim to medical help as fast as possible, and do not try to thaw the frozen area. If someone falls and suffers a back or spine injury, do not move him unless it's necessary to prevent further damage. Keep him warm and sheltered and send for medical help. For most other injuries, provide first aid treatment and get victim to warmth and•to medical care if it's necessary. Howarth says much of the work TransCanada's staff does on the lines is at metre stations which are not usual- ly far from a highway. But in winter conditions, a few hun- dred yards can sometimes be a long way, and his safety ad- vice applies to anyone p r outdoors. "Make sure people know where you are, and when you plan to be back. Know your own physical limits, don't overstretch yourself. You can get exhausted or get lost". He does a lot of travelling in his job, and says that if the weather is threatening. he checks in at a hotel and waits it out. "If you're travelling, schedule it so you don't have to drive at night or push the drive too long. If you are stranded in a storm and you're safe and sheltered. stay put. if you're in your vehicle, don't walk away from it, or you could be in trouble. Your car should carry flares, jumper cables, flashlights, candles t for heat), blankets, a first aid kit and non-perishable food You should also have sand or salt and a shovel in your car. but don't wear yourself out trying to dig out. Howarth says TransCanada provides sur vival kits that are used exten- sively in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They include two sealed aluminum pans which can be used for melting snow for drinking water. They hold food, a foil blanket, matches, canned heat and candles, which will help to take the edge off the cold in a car if you run out of fuel. • if you're lost anywhere in the cold, get under the best shelter you can and cover up. ('over your neck as well as your head, because it's one of the areas where your body will lose heat fastest. Resist DANCE PERFORMER — Brenda Bell performs at the noon dance on Tropical Tuesday at SHDHS. In the background is Student Council president Alice Dietrich. The best thing to do about cold weather problems is avoid them by playing safe. The next hest is to go prepared. and know how to handle them if they occur. For information on first aid, get in touch with the St. John's Ambulance branch nearest you, or contact the provincial office at Wellesley St. East 'Toronto: M4Y 1G5.
