Not sot Annie pis: alive and Well, and lives under a pseudonym. In fact Marion often seeks Annie's sage, learned; advice,. Ouredtor also works on the literary section of the yearbook. Her work includes master-xninding many of the Yearbook llterarreontesis. Aroundtown, however, Marion is best known for her work at the "Clinton Public Library; au occupation which has earned for her, the nickname "Marion the Librarian". (I was not sup- posed to print that under threat of death ora worse fate) She was ' most recently sighted somewhere between the NationalGeographies and the World Book Etr yclopcdias. Hope they find her soon. So now you know a bit more about the . person behind .the Chronicle;. the one who keeps it running smoothly and puts up with her writers! If CUSS gave a Patience or Endurance Award, Marion would undoubtedly be nominated. Congratulations Marion, and remember this - today the CH Chronicle, tomorrow, (who knows?) the New York Times ! as Valentines and Christmas, to bemoaning those cursed offals called exams. She is also our sneaky - photographer', andwas Last seen tip -toeing ups to her unsuspecting victim, only to turn back, wailing "How'.do I work this camera?"

Early in the third quarter, the Redmen opened up a 17 point lead, however by the midway mark of the fourth quarter, the Mustangs had managed to cut the deficit to two, points.

This week's student of the week Is our shardtworkIng,,but friendly Chronicle editor, Marian Doucette. (Chronicle photo) r •nk Dear Annie, There is a guy I have liked since grade eight and now we are in grade nine. One night we were talking and I told him I liked him a lot but he didn't, make' any reply. He .phones me just about every night or conies over to listen to records. Do you think he likes me?" 'Doubtfull' Dear "Doubtful ' Of course he likes you! You are lucky he even talks to you let alone phone and come over. Most guys that age are shy and afraid to talk to girls, but it looks like you have a real live one. Dear Editor: For some time now, I have watched the prefects at our school in "action". It is however not the actions or methods of these individuals that is of vital concern to me, but rather I would like to have explained. to me the methods used to select this "chosen few." Lately I have become very aware that many; if not all, of the : members of this group belong to a certain social clique. I am also aware that there were certain "deser- ving" students in this school thatwould have liked to have been prefects. but according to them the matter of selectionbad been resolved before they had a chance to become involved. I am not here to criticize the methods • used, for as I have previously stated, I am not entirely aware of them. For the above reason however, I feel there should be -more student and especially more teacher participation in the selecting of our prefects. I dm not advocating that the methods, used should involve the whole of the student body, but merely that all "eligible" students be given a fair chance. Also, many students feel that our prefects should be chosen from students in the graduating year only. "A Student - Echoes of "It : will never happen to us", that. will never happen to Clinton" ; have now died 84 Clinton and area rOsidents, found that it could happen to us, LaSt Thursday,' . students and residents of 'Clinton and surrounding areas felt 'a hard. blow when our community hospital received the axe from Health Minister Frank Miller. Many students, .plainly seniors, united with the public and braved the cold, getting chilled to the bone, to wait and hear Miller's final and saddening decision. Clinton Public Hospital will be closed: Perhaps you -wonder wily students would get involved and miss classes just to stand in the cold. The reason for this action was that this closure will not only effect you, the residents of Clinton, but it also effects us' -and we wished to stand up and support our beliefs. Many students feel this closure of our hospital and,Ihe closures of the nine other community hospitals, isun- justified and we DO need -this hospital in our community. It has•, peen stated that the reason for this closure was Clinton's geographical location and that this' sanne reason accounts for Exeter Public Hospital, a hospital which lacks operating facilities, remaining ` open. Students have pointed out that Exeter will be the only hospital open on highway four between Clinton and London; but what about the distance between Wingham and. Exeter; Clinton was the only hospital open on highway four between those two locations. Students who are seekiil'g- carers that are involved in various ways with medicine find that these closures are very discouraging to them. It gives their futures a very bleak outlook where they will be faced with unemployment due to the lack of open hospitals. We wish that the govern- ment would find other ari- as in which to rectify their budget rather than by closing hospitals, hospitals,_ like Clinton. which are equipped for operating, equipped to help those people who need help in primarily a farming community where one's livelihood depends upon one's health. In closing, 1 urge all these students and concerned residents who wish to see our 'hospital remain open to write personal letters. stating your opinions about _this' closure and giving passible alter- natives to Premier William Davis, Queen's Park Toronto Frank Miller, Jack Riddell, Stephen . Lewis. Dr. Stuart Smith, Robert McKinley and other government MP's.

Our hospital and its future rests in your hands, so don't take Miller's decision, to make our hospital victim number 10. sitting down. Act now! We can save our hospital with your help THE BASE FACTORY OUTLET The Store That Saves You More The CHSS girls' volleyball teams travelled to Exeter for the final tournament in the ---Huron division As a re ul of these last four tournaments, the senior girls' team is en- tering the Huron -Perth finals today (Thursday) in first place, not having lost a single match.
