It's good to hear that not only our students are being taught and oc- casionally learning something, but our teachers too! Apparently Mr. F's French 250 class spent the time in aNewfie joke lesson for his benefit. It's good to hear your keeping up with the times Mr. F! Mr. R was last seen Why I Wear A Poppy by Gayle Horton They blossomed round the army dead, Calls of their sway can know be read, And on the cross marked graves of men, Grew poppies by the glade and glen. They stood on guard, in dreams of bliss, Their eerie motion, you could not miss, A close, watch kept on lonely mounds, Which never now would move or sound. Beneath' that lowly, muddy ground, A flame of life could not be found, There lies a form that used to be, A brave Canadian, both Dear Annie: I am a soap opera junkee. I watch just about every soap opera I can during the day and, needless to say, it in- terferes with my schooling. Rather, school interferes with the soap operas. Every spare I have, I dash home to watch TV, and more than once, I've skipped to watch a particularly interesting episode. During the summer, things were just fine, but now that school's back, I'm really in hot water: If I go without watching, I nearly go crazy! My marks are suffering and I' m suffering. Help!—Signed Suds (obviously). Dear Suds: Well, before you get all wet and this -bubbles out of control, I suggest that you exercise some willpower. Afterall, they're only TV shows and which is more im- portant, fictitious characters on the air- waves or you and your future?

Word has it that they call themselves the `Jewsons'. You have probably had at least one of them or both for Science. One thing is for sure, you come out of their classes knowing what an organ is.

Before ,teaohiag in Clinton, she was ,a'' lab technician at" the, Clinton Public Hospital for seven years. Mrs. Zewson grew up a farm girl in Omer, Ontario. She graduated from Queen'aa.university at least "100 years ago." Meanwhile, Mr. Jewson was also growing up as a farm boy in Fort Erie, Ontario. After graduating from the icr theagrUniversityultual of Guelphcourseat , It happened By Paul Newland Henry Wibbletraum was in his first period class when IT happened. Everyone in his class looked around for the telltale clue, but it was not to be found. Henry looked at his neighbor. The latter wore a glazed look as that of cold fear. All of a sudden, a pencil was dropped by the teacher, resulting in a stampede for the door. The teacher could not calm them. This incredible din was unheard by Mayhem Chaos, as she was at the other end of the school, on her way to the lounge. She heard IT about 20 feet behind her. Then she heard IT five feet in front of her. She was surrounded by ITS. She began to scream .un- controllably. A teacher down the hall thought she was hysterical. He ran to her side and slapped her face. Then he heard IT. Nn hAc'nn to scream. Thus they took turns slapping each other for a time. Meanwhile, Henry Wibbletraum's class was running about the entire school yelling and screaming. Other classes joined them after they had ' all heard it. The entire scene looked like a barnyard with a fox in it. Suddenly, a thought occurred to them, ESCAPE! They all crowded around the exits. They looked out through the glass doors. Their last hope had been crushed. But all was not lost. They turned their eyes to the sky, pleading. They all heard a voice from above. "To those who stood in the rain, I thank you. This was a false alarm. Students are reminded that they can be charged for this sort of prank: You may now go back to classes." IT was pretty scary for a while wasn't IT! Basketball action Last Monday CHSS sent their three boy's basketball teams to compete in exhibition games in Walkerton. A very inexperienced midget team was defeated easily , by Walkerton. The score of that game was Walkerton 74, Clinton 19 with Mike Williscraft scorings, 6 In junior play our team was defeated in a very close defensive game. The score of that game was 46-39 for Walkerton. Jeff Schmit chalked up 16 points for CHSS. Our seniors just couldn't seem to get their game together and were quite handily walked over, 70-40. High scorer. for ...th L ggke wa i e1 Thomson with 14 points. also "100 years ago," Mr. Jewson received a position at the Ford Motor Company as a field man in the tractor division. They moved to Clinton from Blenheim 18 years ago. Mr. Jewson has been teaching at CHSS since then. You are probably wondering what hap- pened during their 100 years of survival. The Jewsons decided to take an adventurous trip to Ethiopia. There Mr. Jewson taught school for three years while Mrs. Jewson taught for one and a half years. From what I can remember of Mrs. Jewson's biologically related stories of Ethiopia, I don't think that I would have time to catch all their diseases. However, they enjoyed themselves tremendously with these new experiences. Somewhere along the way three boys appeared on the scene. Mr. and Mrs. Jewson are proud to announce that all their boys are graduates from CHSS. At the present, the eldest of the three, Fred is practising as a doctor -in St. Mary's. Dick is an engineer in Toronto, and the youngest, Tim is studying agriculture at the University of Guelph. Father, like son! They have one granddaughter, Heather. I wonder if her grandmother reads Chemistry in nursery rhyme language to her, in a rocking chair? The Jewsons enjoy cross-country skiing, .dancing and playing a good game of bridge. Since they have been around for 100 years they must be pretty good by now!
