Interview with Mr. Farag
by Janice Allan
Few individuals would
have the courage to leave
the land in which they
were born and raised for
a new life in a foreign
country, but not as with
Mr. A. Farag.
Born in Alexandria,
Egypt, Mr. Farag at-
tended French
elementary and secon-
dary schools and later he
studied at the University
of Alexandria. He
received a Bachelor of
Arts in French, yet
continued to study
another two years at the
Goethe Institute in Ger-
many.
Eleven years ago, Mr.
Farag landed in Canada
and received his first
teaching job in this
country at Seaforth
District High School. Last
year he returned to
France where he lived
and studied in the cities of
Paris and Aix en
Province. Upon his
return to Canada, Mr.
Farag was appointed
head of the Language
Department at Central
Huron Secondary School.
The teachings of Mr.
Farag encompass year
one, two, four and five
students. The students,
he says, are good
students and eager to
learn. Mr. Farag believes
that knowing different
types of languages is
important for the purpose
of communication.
included in repertoire of
languages are French,
English, Arabic and
German. In the view of
Mr. Farag the gram-
matical aspects of the
French course are
equally as important as
the oral aspects.
Besides being the head
of languages, Mr. Farag
is also a husband and
father. He has three
children, two girls aged
nine and six years,
grades four and one
respectively, and a son
who is two years of age.
Drawing from a first
hand knowledge of dif-
ferent languages,
countries, customs and
education systems, Mr.
Farag is a great asset not
only to the, language
department but to the
entire school.
Just ask Dear Annie
Dear Annie:
This is to inform you
that you have been
rejected for membership
in the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to
I nimals.
After all, look what
you've been doing to
those poor people who use
your advice column?
Name Withheld
Dear Withheld:
Honest, I don't know
how this one slipped in. I
mean, I never applied for
membership' in the first
place...
Dear Annie:
Recently our family got
a kitten, it's, a really
adorable little thing and
everybody loves it, until
it messes on the floor.
Then, it's MY cat, and I'll
give you one guess as to
who has to clean up.
Among other things I
have to house train her,
feed •her and keep her
clean, yet it's the
"family" cat. I do like
her a lot, but what irks
me is that no one else in
the family will take on the
responsibility of raising
her. My younger brothers
and sisters (I'm' the
oldest) hog and fuss her
till she's sick and then
they let me have her.
My parents tell me to
settle it among ourselves,
Big Brother's news
People must finally be
figuring out that Big
Brother's watching them
because things have been
pretty quiet around here
lately.
- On - Friday morning,
R.S. was -seen skipping
down the hall. I know it
was Friday R., -- but
skipping? Honestly the
grubs seem to get worse
every year!
Last week in People
and Politics, the V.P. was
called out of the room for
a while. B.G. seized the
opportunity to teach the
stunned students a health
lesson. I won't go into
details but the lesson was
definitely more in-
teresting than people and
politics is.
R.E. walked into
seventh period math
class on Friday afternoon
(a class which he is not
supposed to, be in). As
R.E. came in B.J. ex-
claimed "Big Mose".
After R left, a befuddled
supply teacher asked the
class, "Who was that?"
R.M., trying to think of
some excuse, shouted out
"Just a janitor!" Where
did you leave your broom
R?
Well, that's it for this
week but remember Big
Brother's right behind
you watching your every
move!
Cross country ends
The very successful
cross country season at
CHSS has come to a close.
Last Friday several
members of the team
competed at the WOSSA
meet in London.
The top finisher from
our school was Karen
Souch who placed 19th in
the midget girls out of
over one hundred com-
petitors.
The team would like to
thank Mr. Ludwig for
helping them to make this
season one of the best.
As always, the cross
country team would like
to see several more new
faces out for practise
next year.
The sandwich mystery
starring Nanny Strew
by Paul Newland
(Incompetent Police
Chief Klutz had bungled
up yet another inspecting
assignment, so he again
invited me to the scene of
the crime. This time P
reluctantly took Henry,
but only because she
insisted so insistently.
I'm beginning to convince
the commissioner that I
can do a better job than
the Police Chief.)
"Who was the mur-
dered man this time,
Police Chief Klutz?"
"He was a principal
who took the cafeteria
pop machine from his
students. He had had ,a
few heart attacks in the
past and had high blood
pressure. Weeping
Wizards, Nanny, I can't
make a thing out of this
mystery."
"Well, you never did
earn your salary. I have
to do it for you. What's
the matter Henry?"
"OOoh, Nanny, Nanny,
Nanny, pooh! I found
duel"
"What? A• half -eaten
harm and cheese sand-
wich? You're crazy! Stop
bugging me! If you ruin
this Cale for rfie,, I'D kill
yydu t�vle.r,
"The second time, I
W0111 feel ft."
"Oooh, hahahahaha!
She certainly outwitted
you Nanny!"
"Oh, shutup! Besides,
. there is no mystery. The
man obviously died of
natural causes."
"Natural causes?!
Nanny, how could a man
naturally blow up?"
"You said he had high
blood pressure."
"Oooh, Police Chief
Klutz, 000h! What if the
irate students put
nitroglycerine in his ham
and cheese sandwich?"
"That sounds logical. I
wonder why Nanny didn't
,figure it out."
"Snnarrl. You've
solved one case too many,
Henry. I shall have to
shoot you!"
"Bang!"
"Cough-cough, plop!"
"Nanny, I am shocked.
I hereby arrest you for
the murder of Henry
Hareletter. Come along
with me. You have the
right to remain silent..."
(The Nanny Strew
article will not be cpn-
tintied due to the life
sentence imposed on the
heroine.)

Kitty Kleaner
Dear Kitty:
Well, actually, I've
very little to say. It's
obvious that your parents
thought that you could
handle the responsibility
of taking' • care of the
kitten. I think it's up to
you to decide whether
they misjudged.
If it's any consolation,
that kitten should soon be
a cat will be able to take
care of itself, except for
maybe feeding. Also
since you are the one who
has been taking care of
and providing for it, the
cat will probably give you
the most affection in

Dear Annie:
The situation I find
myself in is ridiculous.
Lately I've been the
recipient of late-night
crank calls from some
person who appears to
like talking through a gas
mask. All I ever hear is a
"mumble -mumble" and
unintelligible grunts.
It sounds really
disgusting 'and I usually
hang up the moment I
realize who (or what) it
is, but this idiot persists.
I've even threatened to
get the police, but he
hangs up and calls again
later. What's to be done?

Dear Busy:
Well, "Busy", if he's
spending that much time
on the phone I would get
the police. You can either
do that or else continue
with your policy of
hanging up.
Sooner or later he's got
to get bored with it. If
nothing else works, use
the old stand by bf
leaving the phone off the
hook.

Separate Brd, superintendent resigns
BY W ILMA OKE
The resignation of
Joseph Mills, Superin-
tendent of Education for
Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic:-
Separate
atholic-Separate , School Board
was accepted with regret
by the board at a meeting
in Dublin Monday night. '
It will be effective
December 31.
Mr. Mills has accepted
a position as education
officer with the Ministry
of Education in Toronto.
He was hired by the
board September 1, 1976
as Superintendent of
special,services and since
August, 1977, he has been
superintendent of
education. At that time he
also assumed the duties
of superintendent of
program, combing it with
the special services
workload.
The board will hold a
special ' meeting
November 1 to discuss
advertising for a
replacement for Mr.
Mills.
The board approved a
revised policy. regarding
school secretaries to be
adopted January 1.
Formerly the policy for
remuneration for the
secretaries was based on
the number of rooms in
the school. Now it will be
based on a combination of
the number of rooms and
the enrolment figure in
the school. This is an
attempt to equalize the
working hours.
The wages for ' the
secretaries will be $4.20
Credit for Hellfield
I would like to give
credit where credit's .due.
and Hellfield really
deserves it! I don't know
what everyone expected,
but I think Hellfield left a
good impression. There
are not many bands that
have musicians who can
swap instruments and
still sound great.
Hellfield's original
tunes went over well.
Usually most audiences

School building
The construction crews
were busy in the school in
August. A new set of
doors and a raised
threshold were installed
on the north end of the
school. This will
eliminate the water and
ice problem the school
has had over the past
several years.

was removed during the
summer and replaced by
a Board -owned portable
which was no longer in

has resulted in a saving of

this year,
Religion
The grades 5-6 religion
program has been
revised this year. We
have new . textbooks
called "We Walk with the
Lord". The program
hopes to awaken for the
student a new awareness
of the Spirit of Jesus,
foster deeper relationship
with him, and enable
development of stronger
faith attitudes to life in
the Spirit, and in the
Church.
There is a family book
which accompanies the
program. It can be, used
by parents in their role as
the first teachers in the
faith. The family book
follows week by week the
lessons presented in the
class.
Father Hardy will be
saying Mass for one class
every Wednesday in the
Kindergarten room at
9:00 a.m. On special
days, the—entire school
will attend. Parents are
invited to come and share
Mass with the students.
Father will also visit
the different classrooms.
His program in grades 7-8
will be on church history,
in grades 5-6 will be on
the lives of the Saints, in
grades 3-4 will be on the
Mass, and in grades 1-2
will be on Commumion.
Open house
We hope you will keep
in mind that there is an
open house to be held on
Thursday, 2 November.
The school will be open
from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and
we are asking the
students to bring their
parents that night.
