You see, my younger brother, who has just entered Grade 9, was about to be initiated by me and a friend, when he decided to put up a fight. Since he is three inches taller and 25 pounds heavier than either me or my friend, he soon had us doing peanut races down the hall! Although no one else was around (it happened between classes) , I've been living in fear ever since that he'll start to brag about it. I don't think I'll ever live this down, Annie! Signed: Scared in Seaforth Dear Scared: No, I don't think you will, either. I really can't help you too much, I'm afraid, except to hope that your brother will be magnanimous in victory. In other words, maybe he'll let you go. Dear Annie: Things . are getting really rannchy around here. It's getting so that just walking into the cafeteria can gross you out. (Let alone the food!) Just watching the disgusting habits of people consuming' their lunches is enough to make me lose my ap- petite. I mean, when you see someone blow his nose with a napkin and then wipe his hands with the same napkin, it doesn't quite make you ravenous. Neither does it help to sem someone squeezing b,u-„"ckheads and then munch on a mayonnaise sandwichwithout cleaning his hands. Then there ' are' those tremendous wits who spit in the ketchup bowl. Gets to you, doesn't it? Oh, and last but not least, ' there is some character who fills his mouth full of French fries until his cheeks are bulging, downs them and then squeezes his cheeks together till it all shoots out, yelling, "I'm a zit!” Annie, there must be something you can do for me! Please! Grossed Out & Grumpy Dear Grossed: I'm a zit huh? I'll have to save that for future reference..,.Oh, well, as to your problem. G.O.G., I think the best thing you can do is strike back at these boobs. Try tossing a goldfish in the ketchup or eating a can of sardines (without the can) with your mouth open, in fact almost anything that you can eat with your mouth open is liable to be gross. Of course, it could be very effective if you mimic their antics, and this may be the best thing to do. It might help if you have some friends who feel the way you do and are willing to help you. Only don't overdo it or you know who'll get it. +++ Dear Annie: I have a really awful problem, no matter what I do to stop it, I get bad breath. I've tried nearly every mouth wash -and toothpaste that claims to help bad`breath. No matter what I do, within half an hour of using some sort of breath freshener I have halitosis again. I'm not that bad looking, but every time I get near a girl, she heads the opposite direction. I mean, my breath gets so bad it can put rocks in a cement wall. Annie, what on earth can I do? Jungle -mouth Jim Dear J.J.J. 1 think you'd better check out what you're eating. After all, if you like boiled cabbage, it's small wonder your breath stinks. You could also check with your doctor and see if he has anything for it. Big Brother's news Hi there! My little munchkins have been busy again. The gossip's been pouring in from all over. Last week in elec- tronics class, D.P. put his hand up to ask a question while leaning back in his chair. The next thing he knew he was flat on his back staring up at the sky. Muttering something unintelligible D picked up his chair and sat down again •— but from then on all four chair legs stayed on the floor. , In Miss T's English class, J. M. left the room and returned a .few minutes later with some dogs trailing. Trying to imitate Little Bo(y) Peep eh? D.D. Was last seen carrying his doll down the hall and into homeroom. Aren't yod getting a little old for that sort of thing D?. Anyway, dolls are for girls! A bulldozer would suit you better. For some reason, G.H. was in his locker the other day and ripped her pants when she jumped out. By the way, what were you doing in your locker in the first place — looking for your books? B.B., like all the other Candy Crunchers, bought some munchies in the cafeteria and during a class he started throwing them around. Talk about bad shots — R. missed his mouth every -time. In Chemistry class on Friday, Butterfingers D.H. dropped a valuable .thermometer ($40 worth of glass, and mercury) and it shattered into a thousand million pieces. A flabbergasted Mr. R. appeared on the verge of crying t but instead stalked into the adjoining class and made some comments to Mr. 11. about- people not respecting , school property. D.D. (the one with the doll) was away the day pictures were taken and some guy, named E.F. took his place. Everything was fine until D. got his student's card. There, right before him, sat a grinning gorilla with a funny hat on. Without the hat on there's a striking resemblance, right D? Well, that's it for this" week. But remember, my little munchkins are everywhere .and . Big Brother never sleeps! Tr.

(Expositor photo) Volleyball over for CRSS Last Wednesday was the finish of another volleyball season with neither our senior nor our junior Redmen going on to the Huron -Perth finals. The tournament was played in Stratford with all 11 junior teams playing at Central and all eleven senior teams playing at Northwestern. In Central, the juniors were defeated by the Listowel Blue Devils by, scores of 15-1 and 15-7, It must be understood that both the junior and senior teams were far superior to our teams and scoring a single point against them was an ac- complishment worth noting. Against a slightly superior team from Norwell, our junior Redmen split the games, winning the first 15-8 and losing the second 15-12, In senior play, the Norwell Redmen defeated the Central Huron Redmen 15-1 and 15-3 in two very poorly played games. Agai'hst Listowel, as was ex- pected, our seniors were defeated in the first game 15-3. Listowel finished the season 19 wins out of 20 games, their only loss of the season being to our senior Redmen. The score of this very well played game was 15-8. Congratulations to both players and coaches.

Although CHSS had only four teams entered, out of a possible six, the teams did quite well finishing in the top half of their divisions. The senior girls and junior boys teams finished fourth and fifth respectively. Because they did not finish in either of the top two positions the teams are ineligible to compete at W.O.S.S.A. However, Brenda Dupee (sixth place senior girls) and Dave Dimaline (sixth place junior boys) will be running at W.O.S.S.A. because they finished in the top ten; positions of their races.
