Newspaper club life
ice cream:both have
plenty of scoops
By Cathy Wooden
I realize that it has been
more than a month, but witty
articles about dull clubs do
not come out of cereal boxes,
you know.
This month, CHSS's
Newspaper Club has
displayed tho'sc'""special
characteristics (yawn) which
make it worthy of this
dubious distinction. ,
This year, the Chronicle
staff boasts about 25 mem-
bers, all divided into nice,
orderly categories (e.g.,
news) . Quaint.
The staff advisor is Mr. Ron
Smith who tries to make sure
no dirty words get in the
paper (they make an awful
mess). He also lets the club
use his classroom (nice view
and good comic books).
The real boss is Philip
Street, affectionately known
as "The Editor." It is not
uncommon to notice Philip off
somewhere by himself.,
muttering, "I need a scoop!"
(Note: He is not referring to
ice cream. That is newspaper
talk for, "Somebody better
give me a terrific article
pretty soon or I'll have to
print another interview with
Mr. Phillips!").
Subject matter varies at
the club's meetings.
Questions like, "Did you see
the Muppets last night?" or
"What is the meaning of
life?" are often discussed. .
Usually, the members
complain about the non-
existence of news at this
school, the lack of money' to
print all the non-existence of
news stories, and the lack of a
good place to hold the
Christmas party.
The meeting is usually
adjourned with wise words of
advice from 'the fearless
leader (i.e. Philip). "Please,
no more articles written with
purple crayon on the back of
your Math homework!".
Excuses, excuses,. excuses
We ''here at the Chronicle
felt it was only fair that the
student be given a chance to
explain why they lost two out
of three volleyball games to
the teachers last week.
'Mere are some that we have
-heard: exams were corning
up; Mr. Weber didn't have
gym shorts on; the students.
forgot their glasses; the
students were payed to lose;
Mark Battye (the referee)
was really Mr. MacDonald in
disguise; the net was too low;
the floor was too high; Tiny
forgot to eat his Wheaties ;
Jan.'s Van was not in
operation that morning. (The
stud.:nts were out of breath
from pushing itin at 7:30) ;
student's Star Spiker Jim
Moon was sidelined with
tendonitis of the big toe.
All very sound, legitimate
reasons.
Big Brother is watching
Attack-- yes, folks, that.was
the main item on R.C's (alias
"Chopper") mind last
Thursday when he saw. L.B.
grab the ball and run to hide it
behind the couch in the
lounge. Attack; maybe, R.,
but don't sit on the poor kid -
you must outweigh her by 100
lbs. Really, is it any wonder
that the tiny little ball came
out squished?
Another attack took place
earlier that day in the
cafeteria when L.S. (alias
"Toby") threw an un-
suspecting J.A. (alias
"Jeeps") into a hammerlock
and sent him flying to the
floor. Really, Jeff, wasn't it
just a little embarrassing
when a 98 -Ib. weakling threw
y'ou to the floor? Toby says
it's really only getting you
back for all the times you
have pulled the chair out
from under her.
Mr. W. I bet you didn't
think Big Brother was wat-
ching when you went to the
Prefect bake sale and asked
"How much will $2 buy me?"
As I figure it, they were a
dime for each square.
Therefore, you would get 20
squares for your $2 — much
too much for you, sir. I hope
you shared them with the
office staff. If not, I hope you
gained 10 lbs.
In -Joke Dept: During a
certain English class on
Tuesday, Mr. M. was
describing Kurtz of "Heart of
Darkness" as "nothing more
than a voice." He was. in-
terrupted by Mr. B., who
arrived bearing texts. As Mr.
B. left,, Mr. M. remarked,
"Speaking of nothing more
than a voice..." He regretted
the remark as soon as he said
it. I expect he'll regret it even
more now.
Now I have something quite
out of the ordinary for this
column. Chemistry 550 period
4 would like to thank both
G.C. (alias "Cuts"), for her
contribution towards the
study of the chemistry of
pizza, and P.G. (alias
.Chuck), for his contribution
towards the study of the
chemistry of chocolate cake.
It was far above and beyond
the call of duty.
News on the grub scene this
week is relatively quiet since
"nothing of any importance
happened. Either they've
wised up to Big Brother, or
they just lead boring lives.
Either way, I'm watching
you!

leaky roof? Sure you fixed the rgof, but did you take care of

those stains. You tell him the roof doesn't leak any more.
But he's not so sure...he'll have doubts about your house.
If you'd not only fixed the roof, but also done a new
wallpaper job in that room, there'd be no reason for the
prospect to have any doubts.

kinds of little suggestions that will help you obtain the best
price possible In this real estate market. We're professionals
and we've got a lot of tips we'll pass along to help you make

Just ask Annie!
Dear Readers:
We have received, as of this
week, two letters about a
subject discussed a few
weeks ago in a letter from a
Ms. Clear. She did not liketo
see students holding hands
and "slobbering" in the halls.
Before we go on, I want �o
clarify my views to obviate a
similar . occurrence in the
future.
I really don't think you can
do anything about this
problem which has -obviously
disgusted some people in this
school. It is a problem which
has been around quite some
time and is likely to be around
a lot longer. If they want to
show each other off that's
their own business.
Isar Annie:
A week ago I broke up with
my boyfriend. We had an
argument about dating. He
wanted to take out other girls
because he said he isn't -ready
to go steady. I just wanted to
date him and no one else.
I told him we shouldn't see
each other until we decide to
go together again. (I did this
because I didn't want to push
him into going with me if he
didn't want to.) Last night he
took out another girl and I
was really envious of her.
Now I realize I was too
hasty in breaking up with him
because I think I'm in love
with him again. Please Help!
Lost Love
Dear Lost Love:
Stick to your guns, honey. If
he • forgets you that easily,
then you two weren't "made
for each other", so 'to speak,
and » u'll just have to forget
hi'm. But just don't go
crawling hack to him after his
first "experiment" or he
might try to dictate terms.
Hang in there! •
