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.) • .Sign itt ak tigtl shop' shop,: "Come in /and buy what your grandmother threw away!'► , but my kid sibblings won't listen. Needless to say, I'm pretty fed up and angry. I hope you've got some suggestions. 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 return when it is older. +++ 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? Signed: Always "Busy" 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. is The Vanastra Brownies and Guides don ,t usually dress like this; but they abandoned their uniforms on Monday.

(News -Record photo) 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 head for the cafeteria Jr. football On October 19 the Redmen lost to the Listowel Lords 13-1 in a tough game. Standout for the juniors was Martin DeCort with an in- terception. On October 26 , the Redmen in their second win of the season beat Wingham 7-0 on a touch- down by Todd Maxam and a single by Charlie Wise. ,. Weekend Entertainment Fri. &Sat.

St. Joe's new staff We would like to mention the new teachers and the changes. We welcomed - Mrs. Doreen Nogalo who is teaching the kindergarten this year. Mrs. Nogalo divides her duties between St. Joseph's and St. Patrick's in Dublin. Mrs. Mary Smith is teaching grades 7 and 8 this year. Quite a change for her from Grades 1 and 2.

Mrs. Helen Van Bakel has returned for another and is teaching grades 5 and 6 and lyIrs. Garda van dcn Hooven is in charge of grades 3 and 4.

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. Our rented portable was removed during the summer and replaced by a Board -owned portable which was no longer in use at Kingsbridge. This has resulted in a saving of $2,400 annually in rental. Stlident Council The student council recently held its elections for representatives from the various grades and for its new executive. Elected to office were: Una Doherty, grade 8, president; Danny Brideau, grade 8, vice- president; ,Suanne Smith, grade 8, secretary; Colleen Scruton, grade 7, treasurer. Representatives are: grades 1 and 2, Michelle Gautreau; graces 3 and 4, Michael Tyndall and Angela Van den Elzen; grades 5 and 6, Karen de Jong and Debbie Leigh Smith; grades 7 and 8, Wayne Smith and Jean Brand. The student council has already planned their first project for this year. It is a Bake Sale for purposes of raising money for UNICEF. The bake sale last year was so successful, it was decided that it would be a good thing to repeat tie event 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. The C.H.S.S.
