Evening classes at CHSS
by Ken McBride
•M Now that we students,
inconceivable as it would
have seemed about a month`
ago, are more or less settled,
into the routine, its time for
the rest of you to be cajoled
into entering our halls of
learning. *\ CHSS's night
classes will commence early
ext 'week with a few ad -
ions to the curriculum of
st year.
Along with the return of
such courses as colour
photography, car main-
tenance, and gourmet
cooking, there will be three
courses offered for credit
toward high school diplomas:
senior mathematics and
drafting, both twenty weeks
in length, and grade XIII
physics, a twenty-five week
credit for more ambitious
folk. Bookkeeping is a
possible credit course.
The majority of the course§
will be getting underway on
October 3, 4 and 5 and three of
those will be brand new. If
you are into crochet, a new,
advanced course is offered,
and furniture refinishing
sounds practical for people
like me Who are prone to
• pilling acid or Crazy Glue. A.
new crafts course includes
instruction in such areas as
string art, quilting, icbnage
and decoupage, all. of which
sounds fascinating (if I only
knew what it was).
Most courses are ten weeks
in duration, such as St. John's
First Aid, interior decorating
and hunter safety. Such
courses as metric conversion,
ladies' fitness and macrame
are a couple of weeks shorter.
An exotic -sounding class,
Japanese embroidery, will
start late in the month, while
another newcomer, pottery,
will get going after Christ-
mas.
Any day -students who wish
to enter these courses should
'have written confirmation
from a parent that night
classes will not interfere with
homework and all of that
other terrific stuff with which
we delight ourselves.
A front-page article in last
week's News -Record gives a
full list of courses and dates.
Just show up for the class of
your choice, and it's
guaranteed that you'll walk
away with a fuller brain. That
guarantee, the teachers tell
me, is void for us full-timers.
They know us too well.
Just ask Annie!
Dear Annie:
My brother's goose goozed
on my clarinet. There was not
severe. superficial damage,
but after I wiped it off I'd
• discovered a stain on it.
Everytime I play it now I
have to cover the spot, which
not only makes me look silly
but also prevents me from
getting the low notes. It's so
embarrassing, especially
since I've tried all sorts of
meaning solvents and nothing
works. To compound that it

was a gift from my mother's
uncle's stepdaughter's
husband's mother. -in-law's
auntie's cousin's best friend's
grandmother. She's long
since died and this is the only
reminder of her (whoever she
was.) Every time I mention it
tomy brother he locks
himself in the washroom.
What shall I do???

would be much damage done

have more of a problem with
your brother, really. Next
time you mention it to him,
grab him and make him
scrape it off.. himself. Also
convince him, not to let his
goose "go" wherever it
pleases. If he doesn't want to,
chain his goose to his head
and he'll get the message.

The shotgun weddings
by Paul Newland
Ah, initiation day. I
remember it so well. I was
trying to break the record for
being initiated the most
times. Boy, was I asking for
it. I got initiated fourteen
times. Let's see, hmmm... I
got smeared, once with
feminine cosmetics, I had to
sing the school song thrice,
Student's Week
Next week, October 3-7, will
be Students' Week at' CRSS.
Tuesday is Hillbilly Day,
designed to allow students to
satisfy their urges to be
rustic. Wednesday is the long-
awaited Initiation Day,
designed to allow grade 12
and 13 students to satisfy
their urges to be cruel. For a
record of Initiation Days
past, see The Shotgun
Wedding elsewhere on this
page.). Thursday is School
Colours Day. There will be a
pep rally and early dismissal
to allow 'students to watch a
Redmen football game.'

The time to relax is when
you don't have time for it.
The new football jersey rip-off
Apparently, someone just
.couldn't wait for school to
start this week. About one
week before school was
scheduled to re -open,
someone broke into the school
and took 24 new football
sweaters and a few old ones.
A description of the
..sweaters and; a list of their
numbers were given to the
police, but .there were no
reports.
Replacements for the 24
sweaters would have cost.
$400. However 1$ of them

twice got married (just to
break the monogamy), once
rolled a button down a hall
with my nose, thrice pushed a
penny down the hall with my
nose, once down the stairs
pushing a penny with my
nose, once carried a year
fiver's, books, kissed all the
lockers on the second floor,
and the coup de grace, the
ultimate embarrassment, I
had to lie prostrate on a
cafeteria table with my arms
and legs in the air, reciting
"i' m a' " tread horse and I
stink."
But I was young and stupid
then. I didn't want what I
want now. All I wanted was to
be Sutler Student. I tried to
start off on the right track.
First, I thought I would leap
down tall flights of stairs in a
single "bound and then work
my way up. However, I knew
I had to overcome a terrible
persecution complex; I
thought animals were against
me. This, unfortunately, was
substantiated by fact. I was
attacked by a cat on the track
once, and a snapping turtle in
a film in science snapped at
me causing me to nearly.tear
the whole desk out of the
floor, by sheer reflex action.
Now, I'm more practical. I
am only Joe Student. An
average poor slob just trying
to keep my,. mark$
salvagable. Yet another
stupid idiot who accidentally
,writes an obscenity instead of
tike word "help" in his
English notebook when his
English teacher just happens
to be looking on. A stupid,
dumb jerk who didn't .get his
biology homework done last
night because he was too busy
writing this column.
By the way, thanks for all
the nice wedding gifts but the
three of us have decided to
get a divorce.
