The reason? "To eommomorate Internatihl Women's Year 'T5'! Well how could 1 argue that'? So, for • our frustrated feminist (whoever she may be) . �we proudly proclaim Sue Tyndall "Student a Student of the Week". Perhaps Susan's greatest involvement at CHSS is her position as Treasurer on the Students' Council F,axecutive. Actually Susan likes her job for. the simple, pure, altruistic reason that she" loves money! The jingle - jangle of quarters and. dimes! Perhapsthis has earned her the title of the CHSS"Embezzler. Susan: is well-known for her great 1o4e of sports - hunters. fisherme : but especially star football players. Sue was Smile • active on both the basketball and volleyball teams.

P.S..,"Frustrated Feminist", take heart! Trying your sales ditch Once again this year, the Students Council is putting on a.chocolate bar drive to raise money to support student activities. If enough money is raised, . the proceeds will go toward the long awaited tennis courts at CHSS. Prizes will be given for the best salespersons. First prize is a portable television set; second prize is a digital clock radio: and third prize is a pocket calculator. The home room team that sells the most chocolate bars will receive passes. com- pliments of the Students Council to the dance Busker on April 15. Just ask Annie! Dear Annie: This is to the girl who thinks she may be pregnant. Your father was probably trying to protect your image when he said to either get married cr have an abortion, but somehow I get the feeling he's just interested in his own image. Getting an abortion is not a good way to handle the problem. after all it's not the baby's fault you got pregnant. Also remember that marriage is one of the most important decisions you must make in your whole life and you must be absolutely sure about it. It is a life long commitment and may change your whole future. I don't mean to discourage you by this. but it is a very big step especially when you are still so young. You could go ahead and have the baby and give it up for adoption. An abortion wouldn't get rid of the fact that you were carrying a baby land there are better ways to handle a pregnancy, Talking to someone could also help. "A concerned person" Dear "Concerned Person, ' • Thanks a lot for your letter and 1 wish there were more people in this world like you and then maybe there wouldn't be as many gaps in the society. From the sound of your letter. you are ex- perienced in helping others and 1 know this will be a great help in your future + + + This year, there is going to be a draw as well, For every six 'oars that you sell, you will get your name placed in . the drum to make you eligible to win a ten pound chocolate bar. The chocolate bars are four ounces of pure chocolate which sell for $1. Chocolate - coated almonds in a 4 ounce , a 13,5 gram box are also being sold for Si per box. Remember the money raised will go to help finance the student activities that you are involved in. So, get out and start knocking on doors, using YOUR best sales pitch and just think how good that television would look in your my boyfriend, I found out they weren't true. My boyfriend and I have a really great relationship and her stories and the things she tells me often cause friction between us. Please help, she is too dear a friend to lose. "Troubled" Dear "Troubled" A thing like that can cause problems_ The best. thing to do is to be absolutely. sure that she doesn't really believe what she says, after all it isn't good to blame her if what she says is true. You mentioned in your letter that you and your boyfriend had a great relationship but you didn't mention hers or what her relationship with her boyfriend,: was like. It is possible • ' that if the. relationship between her and her boyfriend isn't as great as yours. she is jealous and wants to see some conflict between you so her relationship doesn't seem so bad. The truth will be hard to find out and it isn't easy to ask anything like that straight out. The best thing to do is to lay hints to her or say another friend of yours has this problem or you could even have her read this letter and see if she realizes that it is really bothering you. P.S.,- Keep all those letters coming! Dear "Taking it Silently" Confidential Since your letter revealed Some critical information 1 thought it would be .better if we kept it to ourselves 1 know exactly what you mean in the letter and 1 know -it often is quite a problem 1 am afraid. though, that we can't do much about the problem . and we girls will have to just ignore it 1 guess it would Impossible to tell the principal about it brit chances are that they would do it even more lust as spite. The best thing is to make sure you don't say anything directly to them since it is probably what they want. Just ignore them (Good luck Silent" +++ Dear -Annie My girlfriend and 1 have 1en quite close forea long time and shared all our secrets. lately however. it seems to me that she has been picking on my boyfriend and naeking him down in my presence.

They were ,.. i'dge ie ' by. members -o€ .the Arch.iteetura1 Conservancy of Oritairio from Goderich. There were many excellent works to be judged. They ranged 'from essays on the historical facets of Huron County to miniature farms that looked exactly as they did around the turn of the century. Reports on the histories of Clinton. Bayfield and school grapevine has • been hopping with rumours. Amongst these rumours was one that went like this. "Due to the adverse weather conditions, and the amount of school we have missed due to this condition. the March exams will be cancelled. A -4s0 due to the cancellation all students will be required to write the June finals." This rumour is definitely untrue, and Mr. Hom.uth. our principal. verified the fact last week in time for V alentine' s .Day . This term, all students will be -required to write their second set of exams as previously scheduled. March 11-19.
