"Do it" not gross after all By Larry York The nature of last Thur- stim's assembly was as much a mystery to me, as to the rest of the student body. The participants had evidently kept their secret well. However, during the week I had noticed a number of Ito stfarige-looking posters, popping up in the halls* sporting the phrase "Do It". Although the message had been interpreted in several ways, (none of them prin- table) the- driving force behind the message was the Yearbook Club. During the assembly, ,we were introduced to two varieties of "Do le:, the first being, "Do It Buy a Year- book.) . This year's yearbook is rumoured to be the best yet (and that rumour was not initiated by the editor!) The addition of individual pic- tures for all, more candid shots, and spot colour promises a new took for the yearbook - one that weare all looking forward to. The second variety of "Do It" is "Do It - Enter Yearbook Contests". Throughout the school year, the yearbook club will be sponsoring literary and photography contests. Participation in these contests should be optimum since lin sure there are numerous budding novelists, poets and photographers in the student body just waiting to let that creativity flow. (within limits of course) The part of the assembly I found most interesting was For Bulk and Anderson Bogs EIRUCEFIELD HENSALL ZURICH 4824823 2624002 236.4393 Day to be held. Everyone is, urged to bring a camera to school to capture candid shots of friends, fellow students, staff members, etc. I'm sure that this day will go over quite well. Personally. I just can't wait to get a picture of Mr. Smith bfewing a cup of his superb. world-famous coffee, or Mr. Reeve brandishing his ever. present yardstick. You see what I mean? So be sure to get your "Kodak" in top condition for those candid shots. The assembly made the student body aware of the excelte'itt yearbook now in preparation. It will be for sale all this week in front of the cafeteria. As for the assembly, it came to a close with a dramatic, pie -throwing finale, which proves once again that if you have the inclination, you really must "Do It". By Shirley Weary Education, in my opinion, is the preparation of an in- dividual to live in the world in which he finds himself. It involves far more than just training to earn a living. True education requires the ap- preciation of the environment in all its varied facets: art. literaturemusic. nature. Too many of our educational institutions have developed a philosophy that participation in team sports is the most important **beet of education. Too trim:HO:our school time is given to Violent team sports. like football, and too little recognition of those students who excel academically, intellectually. and as good citizens. Each year in this school we hold assemblies to introduce the school sports teams to the London Symphony Ar• returns jor concert The Goderich Rotary Club has lined up a concert program for the winter months which should be food for the soul of many Huron County residents. What's even better. the price is right. The exciting three -concert season begins Saturday, December, 6 with The Messiah featuring the full London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Con- ductor Clifford Evans and the London Pro Musica choir. Guest soloists will also be taking part On Saturday, February 14, an especially romantic concert far Valentine's Day will be entitled Spanish Music for Dance. On stage will be the guest Spanish dancer Paula Moreno. The final concert, Satur- day, March 6. - Orchestral Night - will be an evening of Beethoven and Haydn. The price of tickets is designed to put the concerts within the reach 01 all citizens. Adults will pay MN single, $7 for the season; students. $1.50 singlet families, $7 single. $15 for the Season; and all senior citizens will be admitted for half price. Tickets are available this weekend from any Rotarian; at the Clinton News -Record in Clinton; and Campbell's o The Square and Ormandy's at Suncoast Mali in Goderich. student body. We attempt to build up "school spirit" for sports. We condemn the studeat body if they do not give 'one hundred percent support to a winning sports team. No consideration is given to all the other teams within the school; such as, debating, chesstyping, etc. Late in the School year, time will be taken to read out the names of members of those teamt„ (as well as alt the sports teams again), and bars will- he awarded.

They merely exliibited the traits required to get along in the, world -- persistence, determination. intelligence. the will to do one's best. Each year at CHSS, we hold an awards' banquet for the outstanding athletes. Why not for graduating students? Or for students to excel? Class time is used for sports — not just for those par- ticipating, but for the spec- tators. Why is equal time not given for the student body to attendlet us say. musical productions? Last spring our students • produced "Annie Get Your Gun," a major undertaking which involved approximately 20 percent of the student body, yet no opportunity was given for students to attend during class time. This fall. with six percent of the students in- volved in football, time off from classes was granted for students to attend games. Is football this much more valuable, in building future citizens — even among spectators? In the very near future, the London Youth Symphony is coming to CHSS. but only those students already aware of the value of music and registered ia the music prow -am will be exposed 10 11 Why? Is this not an important part of education? When 1 came to this school, we had an "Over 60 Club" for students with outstanding academic achievement. Some small measure of recognition was granted for the use of a student's academic abilities; no longer is this the case. If team sports are so im- portant in learning living skills for the future, why are there no football certificates? If the purpose of team sports is to develop the arts of warfare, then why not try chess? The intellectual pursuit is there without the permanent injuries from participation, Must all our school heroes be "jocks"? Your parents are hiding you from tbe reality of what lt Ls like to go out and ear yourself with friends especially friends of the opposite sex, r can, imagine what it is like to cheat on your parents. so I suggest that you try and point out some of these facts to them and explain how you feet about the situation. ++ Dear Annie: I have liked this certain guy for a long ,time.

Dear "Lonesome" Thanks for a second letter. 1 am sorry 1 didn't give you a complete answer to your first letter. There isn't much you can do about your looks because you cant change what you were born with. The best things to do are: keep clean and fresh, get lots of sleep and don't over do your make- up. A little make-up can be used to point out your highlights and to hide some faults. but too much can only make things worse. Your diet and exercise should also make you look better. price.
