By George Cull At C.H.S.S. school spirit is neither dead nor alive, but it is showing many symptoms pf being seriously ill. Before rescribing a cure, let's look at the patient. What is school spirit? I have heard many corn- plicate4 and wordy definitions of school spirit. For me school spirit can be summed up in a very simple equation: school spirit equals fmvolvement. School spirit is not just cheeting at games, being on a school team, taking part in a musical, being a member of student council or helping 10 produce a school year book. It includes these things most assuredly, but it is also much more. School spirit is the outcome Of the involvement of both teachers and students In the many activities that go into developing the potential of a personality. School spirit is not something that starts at 3:15 and ends at 4 o'clock. School spirit includes all the ac- tivities of school, academie and extracurricular. School spirit is invejy,ement. Now that we' know the patient, let us look at the symptoms that would suggest ,sickness. If school spirit is involvement, how can it be healthy while the following things are happening at our •school? 1. The new in- tramural sports program has missed three-quarters of -its schedule so far because students did not show up for the games; 2. the school is let out early to see a game and siihundred students leave; 3. talking with teachers I have found that many are con- cerned with the low marks on tests; 4. many teams have only tine or two grade .nine students when last year they had ten or tivelve; and 5. well prepared assembly programs are met with "boos' and inattention. Of course assemblies can't be im- portant because few teachers attend them, However, not all of the symptoms are discouraging. Many teams and clubs are having a good year, and many students are doing well in their studies. •'Allaying looked at the patient and his symptoms, would like to examine some possible cures. First of all, who is responsible for a sick school spirit? Of course .the same people who are responsible for a healthy school spirit - we all are. However, the burden does fall on some harder than on othm. The students must look to theirleaders. In a school this includes the student council represen- tatives, the council executives, the teachers and the school administration. There can be no healthy school spirit without positive Aeadershirs Thus, it mu4t follow that some aspect of -161 WA; at some or all levels, may be lacking, I would suggekt that leaders examine the following questions carefully: 1) Are you promoting an activity or ideal in school, or is school just a place to spend as few hours a day as possible? 2U` Are the programs or ideals that you wish to develop well explained and promoted? No program will succeed without this first. To the individual student, I would say that if you are not working at your studies. and do not belong to at least one extra -curricular activity, you are missing a great op- portunity and are seriously contributirig.,, it, to , a, deteriorating school spirit. In conclusion, I would prescribe the following treatment: a large shot of medicine, involvement. It should be .taken intravenously by all who come to school. - by George Cull. + + + The purpose of the weekly editorial is to give staff members and students at C.H.S.A. an opportunity to express their opinions of issues and events at the school.

Last Wednesday the deciding tournament was held in St. Marys. This marks the third year in a row that Central Huron has placed fourth. t Not having ,their peak performance, the Senior Redmen met a very worthy opponent in the three Perth schools. Listowel, Mitchel and St. Marys all beat Clinton two games straight and thus taking first, second and third season over place. It mught be noted that Central Huron beat St. Marys in the second match, however a bad call by the referee nullified this victory. The referee called' Paul Robinson as being -in -the -net on Clin- ton's game point. St. Mary's then turned around and got three consecutive points to win the match, after the game bystanders verified that Robinson was not in the net and on top of that St. Mary's had hit the ball four times on the questioned play, thus making the home town boys doubly wronged. In other games, Clinton handily defeated Goderich and split a game apiece with Wingham. All in all not the most impressive windup •the boys have seen. On the bright side of the day, though, Dave Counter and Peter Wise teamed up and provided excellent entertainment. The season resulted in a 18- 15 win - loss record for the boys. At this opportunity the team would like to thank Coach Keith Allen for his support and excellent coaching job. Pep rally raises spirits Last Thursday, October 23, C.. . H.S.S. witnessed one of the biggest,sports days we've had so far. Four of our teams were competing" in at-home games. The day started off with a very well conducted Pep Rally with Marlene Dale 'acting as mistress of ceremonies. The cheerleaders started the ball rolling with their opening skit capturing most of the audience's attention. They lined up across the stage dressed in various uniforms and chanted "If I wasn't a cheerleader, I'd be a...waitress, ice cream man. plumber, stripper, chicken, butcher, window washer, football player, or a Red men supporter." It has been said that it was the little blonde stripper who stole the show. Next on the agenda was a visit from Bernie Basketball (Mr. Steep) who introduced this year's Senior Basketball team as: Janet (the swoosh) McKinley; Susan (the dribble) Tyndall; (Over and Back) Bev Slade; (Lay up) Lou Messelwood, Karen (the ,cutter) McGregor, Mary Anne Cummings -and Gayle' Cunningham (the Bobbsey Twins), Susan (Pass ball) Parke, Marlene (the Dasher) Dale, Brenda (the bruiser) McKinley and Nelly (The Hands) Van Wonderen, who is captain of the team. These girls ended their appearance on stage with a ',short poem and song. Next to appear on stage was Miss Burch with her Junior Girls Basketbalttearn, who, before they left the stage ended with a cheer - "Let's go. let's win Redwomen" Coach Keith Allen in- troduced his, Senior Boys Volleyball team to the students and told us of their fine efforts at Huron Perth the day before. The Junior Boys Volleyball team was introduced by Mr. Hodgins, their coach, who commended this team for 'their 'fine work. during this year's volleyball season. Mr. Hodgins told the students that next year he would be losing ten of this year's eleven junior players. He also pointed out to the student body, the lack of participation and enthusiasm in the various sports events shown by this year's grade nine classes. He hopes that there will be more participation shown by next year's grade nine, or C.H.S.S. might not have a Junior Boys Volleyball team.
