secondary school news
Philip street, editor
Apprehension unlimited
By Ken McBride
It was Monday morning,
the 16th. I noticed the "pink
slip" on my homeroom desk
where I had been sitting only
minutes before. Me, two-
time, low profile champion of
the world, receiving an ap-
pointment with none other
than Mr. G. Smith, guidance
councellor? Bosh.
But something else was
peculiar, "Room 313" it read,
indicating , the location.
Absurd, that's a geography
classroom on the third floor
thought I...third floor?
Suddenly, inexplicably, I
found myself in a blind panic, -
overcome with visions of
being bopped with a world
globe, dropped from the
window to a grisly doom and
disposed of in a nearby
greenhouse compost heap.
"They'll never take me
alive," were the words to
which my lips were about to
give voice as I wheeled,
tensed and was confronted
with identical pink sheets of
paper held by -each of a dozen
classmates.
"Oh," I said, deflating.
I would not, ' by the way,
have included all that bad
melodrama if it were not for
the danger that this could be
classified as semi -news and I
need to make sure this reads
like a feature. (I think Philip
Street is about to promote the
copy boy; I had better make
this a good one.)
At any rate, I showed up at
Room 313 at 11 o'clock, my
pink slip mangled noticeably
more than the other students.
In the absence of Miss
Philps, who was the
university representative
scheduled to answer our
questions about WLU.
(Wilfrid Laurier University)
Mr. Smith had no recourse
Big Brother's report
•
Boy, has this been a week
for news! Things have been
happening left and right
faster than I can write them
down.
To start off, I must com-
ment on the social event of
the year, which happened last
Wednesday during the three
lunch periods. Yes, while
those crazy grade 13's were
dressed to kill they took over
the cafeteria and dined in
their usual tasteless manner,
sipping Canada„,.,1?ry Ginger
Ale and toasting the Queen.
PG really has a reputation,
as revealed to me through a
private interview with Miss
Philips " from WLU, who
confirmed that PG plays
hockey and has the code
name of Bobby Orr.
I bet that you thought it
couldn't be done, but BC
accomplished the only thing
that Chopper hasn't done for
t.14 basketball team. Yes BC
scored in her own basket
during the intramural senior
girls game. Yea, Bev!
Things on the traffic scene
were looking slow between
periods six and seven on
Monday. The slow upwards
flow was due to reluctant
students of relations (namely
JH and SD) who, like usual,
weren't in any hurry to move
themselves to class.
In a fit of anger, RC
removed the arm of one of the
best chairs in the lounge.
Smooth move Chopper, I hope
you have a great time
welding it back on.
SM has been doing kinky
things again! Since there are
two stories related to the
disappearance of his shoes
you can decide which you
believe. The first story: he
left therm at Jean's and she
was just bringing them back
as an act of love. The second
story: he really left them on
the topiof his car and drove all
the way to Blyth where they
fell off .and were found by JS.
Soon such news items won't
be so debatable, since in the
vefy near future I'm going to
but to fill the idle minutes in
anticipation of her arrival.
"Ho-hum," l thought,
"More capital -g guidance. I
just hope it lasts until my next
spare."
But bore us he did not. Mr.
Smith did prpceed to cleave
the general ear with all
manner of distressing info.
Between our groans and cries
of anguish, he told the cruel
tales of OSAP grants
(awww...shoot), university
expenses (ouch)) and 50 -
hours (yecch).
When Miss Philips 'arrived,
(claiming she had witnessed
the death of a dog on thehigh-
way, a thought that did not
make me feel much better
just then) she indicated that
Mr. Smith's estimate of the
total first year univerisity
expenses was about $25Qtoo
low.
Thanks, I needed that.

from my private cameras.
Then for your enjoyment you
will have the pleasure of
deciding such cases as...what
was SM really doing to MS in
the lounge? So have your fun
but don't do it in front of my
lens, unless you want to see
yourself in the paper.
Just ask .Annie!
' Dear Annie: There''s a
certain couple called Hazel
and Lloyd Twitt, from whom
our family gets Christmas
cards every yearWe don't
know who the they are,
but they sure seem to know us
well. We got cards from them
every year for the past three
years, but we don't know who
they are. The don't leave a
return addres's either, but in
their card last year, they told
us to drop over for a beer and
we'd love to, but we don't
know who they are, what
they're like or what kind of
reputation they .have. From
their cards, they sound like a
lovely, warm and friendly
couple. The question is,
Annie, what if they ask us
over for a beer and they leave
a return address? Should we
go, maybe never to return; or
ignore their request? We
don't like dealing with
strangers.—The Twitt Fans.
Dear Twits: Neither. Have
you thought of inviting the
Twitts over for a beer
themselves if you got their
address? Then you can find
out what they're like on your
own turf.
Dear Annie: I have a
problem, serious, funny, but
true. A friend of mine (can't
tell you her name) has a
problem. You see, she used to
•
be beautiful until her lips
became badly chapped due to
stormy weather conditions
and rough rusty steel. She
cries every night about this
overcoming • problem and
begged me to write
in.—Dicky True
Dear Richard: You must
waste no time. Buy her some
cream or a chapstick before
her lips flake off
altogether.—Annie Slanders.

returned to CHSS this
Monday. Activities now
getting underway are floor
hockey and girls and boys
basketball.
After witnessing the floor
hockey, I can see why the
teams chose some names like
"The Animals", "The Dirty
Dozen", and "The Choir
Boys".
The basketball games left
me with the feeling that
something was definitely
missing...like equipment, or
at least medical supplies. All
that slapping, scratching and
screaming was uncalled for
and that was just the
guys...think what the girls
would be like.
The elastic marksmenship
award goes to Sandy Mar -
feel it only fitting to devote a
column to it. With all this
propaganda about the effects
of smoking flying around, you
don't know what to believe,
right? Well, here's our two
cents' worth.

tional nostril?

to take the offer.

get into trouble this week.
You're going to stick your
nose into other people's
business and end up with a
flat nose or not one at all.
Keep it out of the door.
Virgo: Your desires and
wishes all seem to come true.
You'll see someone you
haven't seen for a long time,
and musically you'll find that
song you've been looking and
waiting for. -
Libara: Now you're really in

interested in and is going
to show it. Don't be a fool and
pass this by; take it and you'll
find yourself in a very happy
situation.
Scorpio: Work, schoolwork,
anykind of work is going to
get you down this week.
Seems that nothing will turn
out, but don't worry the week
isn't over yet.
Capricorn: It seems that all,
your dreams are filled with
unhappiness, but' don't pay
attention to- them. These
dreams are wrong; it's really
worse than that.
Aquarius: If you don't get
that essay, book report or
project started this week you
never will.
Pisces: Your relatives are
in the "I know they're your
friends, but can't you find
better ones" mood. Just
ignore them,' seems their
friends aren't any better and
they just found that out. Ha.
