Clinton News-Record, 1978-01-19, Page 21• • w central huron chronicle -i. [j5hilips treet, editor Big Brother is still watching Welcome back from a long, and I must add, fun holiday. Yes, while you were out partying the holidays away, I was out taking notes (un- fortunately' there aren't enough pages in this paper to print all of the goodies.) Seeing that the Newspaper Club had the first party of the season, it only seems fitting that it should take up some of the time for this week. Things were just flying by at CW's up until about 10:30 when someone, namely LM, decided that it would be fun to move the whole party outside to dig tunnels in the snow. Needless to say, all those in attendance weren't as excited by the aspect, even though the majority of the staff, including the Editor, traipsed out into the winter won- derland. Soon the exams were over and it was time for the annual Grade Thirteen Christmas party. Unfortunately too many things happened to keep up with so, all that will be said about it is that Santa's suit wasn't the only thing that was tight. Right MB? The time between Christmas and New Year's quickly passed (with the help of people like PG who threw a holiday week party) and it was soon time for the many New Years parties. This year they included such bombs as MD, KH, and the one out at MM's parents farm. The choice one for the season is the one at M's which from the last reports, is still going on. I also heard that Mr. B can throw some great parties for the staff. Well, this brings us up to date. As the exams flow back both staff and students are acting as if they lost their beans over the break. Something which drew my attention was LM, CW and SS playing "Mother, May I?" I know that it's boring around here, but really - don't you think there are better things to do? LM has also been seen walking her pet flea on an 18" shoelace leash. As for the staff, this week Mr. W. has been seen testing overhead. After he tested Mr. M's he tried to walk off with table and all. When he saw his foolish mistake, Mr. M. said that he could take the table because he was sure it worked. Finally, the students have found a way to make the teachers crack. This was demonstrated clearly when Mr. B. had to come to Mr. M. and ask him how he should mark a paper. For you the students, good work, you've almost got them. For you the teachers, there's always next year to break down the students. Guess what? It's snowing again By David Leibold "Well, what's this? Another snow warning?" It becomes a familiar passage these days. Now we are accepting snowstorms as a part of life. It seems like Mother Nature has taken on to a new fad -one that started with the big blizzard of '71. Yes, that blizzard made history, and since then The Masses (that is, students), have eagerly waited for each year's new batches of winter storms. And, if you consider snowstorms great, hold on to your hats. Scientists say that a new Ice Age is coming, and that the weather will grow worse each year. There are problems, of course. The weather takes hours of valuable class time each year, and there is less time to finish the work that has to be done anyway. In fact, only a few more storm days are needed to cancel second term exams. The exam days would be converted into teaching time. Depending on your stand- point, it is either a time for great rejoicing or a great problem. This happened last year at CHSS. We leave you to your opinion on the issue. Man has had little influence on the weather and it will probably be a long time before any reasonable control of weather can be devised. Until then, students will continue to enjoy the daytime life. Students can enjoy the extra time by watching TV, playing solitaire, writing novels, etc. While there is such a thing Good news, bad news First the Good news: none •of the schools teams have lost this year. Bad news is the year, has just begun and the tams haven't played yet! as weather, there will probably be snowstorms. A solution to the snowstorms could be to move down to Florida - but aren't they having snow down there too? From the files of Hemlock Sholmes as told by Kathy Phillips A curling iron was missing from the girl's special education classroom. It seemed that the villain had decided that using wax on his moustache was too much.of a chore; therefore, he had made a little, shall we say, exchange. The can of moustache wax he left behind appeared to be the only clue until we found skid marks leaving the scene. Whatzit speculated that our mysterious culpert had been doing wheelies in his ecstasy. We developed. oig 'casefrom there. As you probably know, we had become quite familiar with the staff at CHSS from our previous experiences and decided to examine them first. We came across the •perfect candidate almost immediately. This man was short in stature, sported a handlebar moustache, and was known for his incredible journeys on his movable chair. This man was alscy noted for his ability to drop objects, misplace important pieces of work, and tumble flat on his face while leaning on his lectern. Do•youu know_ the culprit 'was? To Obby Bore by Louisa Martens There must be something the matter with me. I've grown to believe that I'm not a normal Canadian. I must be lacking some kind of gland which secretes a hormone designed to drive Canadians wild over hockey. It can't be a genetic problem, because everyone else in my family is hooked on hockey. The dial on our TV just about gets spun off as channels get switched from game to game. At our house the problem isn't whether to watch hockey or not but rather which game. As if the regular hockey season isn't enough, this year Super Series '78 supplements our TV hockey time. It's frustrating to hear those announcers try to pronounce Russian and Czechoslovakian names like they were chemical, cancer- causing ingredients of hot dogs. I realize of course that TV should not be my only source of entertainment.

'by Garry Manning Yes, strange. as it may seem football is being played in this weather. As we sit at home staring out through the mountains of surrounding snow, the football season has DO YOU THINK THE BUSES L.IL[. 13E RUNNING Speak rover, speak by: Cathy Wooden This is thie time of the year that teachers like to be an- noying by assigning speeches and seminars to their un- suspecting pupils. It gives them a chance to•take a break from preparing lessons, not to mention giving them a good laugh. Mind you, standing in front of 30 peers and a teacher for what seems like a century is not the average student's idea of a fun time. In fact, it is somewhat akin to Daniel's predicament in the lion's den, only with less success. Why is it, when you get up to do your particular seminar or speech, everything seems to go kinky? You had planned to saunter confidently up to the front of the room, lean nonchalantly against the podium and begin to devastate and captivate etc. Instead, when your name is called, you feel like you're having a cardiac arrest. Noticing that the teacher has thoughtfully removed the podium, you fight an un- controllable urge to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, you can't deliver your dynamic talk from behind the Mint cabinet in the corner. You gotta stand up there with nothing to hide behind! Collecting yourself as best you can and assuming the stance of an orangutan, you start to talk. You are thinking, "That's not my voice! I sound like Don Knotts!" You are acutely aware of your underarms and the flud pants you knew you shouldn't have worn. Every little sound from the audience sounds like a thunderous roar.

Richard Carter, the most succ.essful receiver this football season, was stopped from scoring a touchdown in the final game when he was tripped.... by the five yard line. The Senior football team was the first team to score a point on Goderich this fall. The point came on a mixed field goal when the Goderich player slipped and fell before he could get out of the end zone. The garbage bag basketball tournament is proceeding nicely in the lounge. The lunch hour dart tournaments were proceeding nicely until this week when some high flying darts put a temporary stop to the game.

The Can -Am Bowl featured the top U.S. and Canadian all- stars.. The U.S. college all- stars were heavily favoured to beat the Canadians. Considering the superiority the American teams hold over the Canadians, in season -length, funds, and numbers to pick from, a 22-7 loss is not bad, especially when you consider that the Canadians gave the U.S. 14 points; I look forward to next year's game, if there,is one. The Super Bowl, ended last Saturday with a 27-10 win for the' Dallas Cowboys. I can't describe the full game because I didn't see it all, but if the rest of the game was like the first and the last part, I'm glad I missed it, or I would have turned it off (as most people did that I asked about it). Let's say this much; it was a different type of bowl than what is supposed to be the world championship. is KIC===>tiC= Sunday Special JAN. 0 '2 2 n J - HAM STEAKS with pineapple rings, 0 scalloped potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes, buttered mixed vegetables, soup or juice, salad, tea or coffee.
