present our Ace of Advice,
Annie Slanders).
+Dear Annie;
Lately I have been feeling
somewhat depressed. 'There`
are troubles in my personal
life. 1VIy parents are always
fighting and I don't know how
long they will stay together.
My, Tittle brother is. always
boobytrapping my room. I
think he's out for blood. My
girlfriend has given me the
deep-six and yesterday, my
best friend called me a ----.
My hair is starting to fall out.
If you can't help me I'll
commit suicide - and maybe
take you with me.•

Dear Baldy;
Promises, promises! You

husband wants a divorce. I'm
suffering from arthritis,
rheumatism, psoriasis,
typhoid and split ends! My
brother has the worst case of
bubonic plague in the history
of Canada. My aunt has
tuberculosis, her husband has
diarrhea, and their daugther
is contipated .
My dog got hit by a car
r whose driver is sueing me
because his car was
damaged. To top it all off, our
house caught fire.
But don't worry, dearie; we
The courts are coming!

disillusionments among the
denizens of area tennis

There will of course be a
little delay on the con-
struction of the courts, but
having heard the "tennis
court campaign pitch" from
student council presidential
candidates for the past years,
it's heartening and relieving
to see the end of it., Now a
student can ; concentrate on
matters of greater
significance, like trying to
keep his pencil eraser from

Mr. Homuth, are to be given
special thanks for wading into
the unavoidable red tape and
congratulations for not

of the little extra effort that
was required to make it stick.
So too, I'll bet, are some
local hay fever sufferers.

N... and welcome to another
year of the CHSS Chronicle.
This year, in addition to our
weekly page in the .Clinton
News -Record, we hope to
introduce an , eight -page
monthly tabloid edition of The
Chronicle.
This separate paper should
be something for everyone
and a chance for everyone to
say something.
To carry it off successfully,
however, we need a larger -
staff. Reporters
(everywhere!),
photographers, and ad-
vertising people will be
needed.
What we would really like is
to have everyone at Central
Huron free-lancing for The
Chronicle.

Interview with Mr. G. Phillips ,
a
Homuth's retirement, Mr.
Philips applied for the post of
principal of CHSS and was
subsequently appointed.
'Mr. Phillip's affection for
CHSS is obvious. His home
has been in Clinton for the
past 12 years, and two of his
children have graduated
from CRSS during that time.
He has two daughters
prfsently enrolled here, and a
younger son in elementary
school.* However, there is
more than sentimentality in
his attitude.
"This , is one of the best
schools'in Ontario and I would
like it to be the best."
Why one of the best?
Because graduates of CHSS
"perform exceptionally well
at the colleges and univer-
sities of' Ontario. Their

created by his retirement has
been filled by Mr. G. Phillips,
a former vice-principal at

Philip Street and Mr.
Phillips, is designed to
acquaint the student body and
other members of the com-
munity, with CHSS's new
