Clinton skating news
It's nice to get away
from home but it's even
better to come home
again. Arenas, that is.
Vanastra arena was
handy to reach, pleasant,
easy people with whom to
do business, great place
to use when we needed an
ice surface. But it's nice
to be home "again with a
new ice surface un-
derfoot.
The second half season
registration took place on
Saturday with many
beginners returning from
the first session, and a
few more juniors to take
the Wednesday, Saturday
sessions.
Our time -table returns
to the regular time slots
with juniors skating
10:30-11:15 a.m. and
beginners skating 11:15-
12 noon on Saturdays. The
junior time on Wed-
nesdays is 5:15-6 p.m.
Some of you may be
requiring new skates. For
ti
beginners and juniors, a
good fitting pair bought
locally will suffice.
The fit should be large
enough in the toe area to
wiggle your toes and snug
enough at the heel area
that you cannot move
your heel up and down
inside the boot.
Remember to check the
blades to see that they
have been centred
By the time you've
reached the intermediate
level or earlier, if you
wish, you would enjoy
skating in a firmer boot.
A pair of second hand
better quality skates are
a much better choice than
a new pair of cheaper
quality skates.
Which brings to mind a
suggestion for the club. A
reference book of
available used skates,
their make, size, present
owner and their
telephone number. This
would speed up the

Mr. Allen will go down in history
Have you ever noticed
a certain classroom on
third floor with funny
looking blackboards?
They are completely
hidden under maps from
all parts of the world. If
you have never seen what
was under these maps,
you're in for a great
surprise. You will find
long, short, skinny and
fat arrows. Actually
these arrows are verbs. I
guess it is up to the
student to replace the
arrow with any form of
verb.
The teacher behind all
this of course, is Mr.
Allen, better known by
his students as being a
good guy who never loses
his temper? Easy seeing
what kind of a mark they
want on their next report
card!
Mr. Alien was very
hesitant as to whether he
would get involved in this
publicity stunt unless for
a small fee. However, I
did manage to get some
interesting facts ?rom
him.
Mr. Allen was born and
raised in Durham,
Ontario. He attended both
elementary and secon-
dary School in Durham,
furthered his education at
Laurier and Western
University, where he
earned his Graduate
Degree in History.
Before coming to
Clinton, Mr. Allen taught
school in Toronto for four
years and at an
elementary school in
Acton for two years. Mr.
Allen journeyed to
Clinton with his wife ten
years ago where he has
been teaching history at
CHSS ever since. Mr, and
Mrs. Allen now have two
children.
Apart from school,'Mr.
Allen enjoys various
sporting activities such
as "fastball, hockey, golf
and is recently taking up
cross-country skiing. 1
hear Mr. Allen is good at
odd jobs. He also enjoys‘
watching television
(strictly the historical 'a'
shows).
As for CHSS Mr. Allen
feels that the student.
body as a whole,tei%ds to
be co-operative and in-
terested; the staff
friendly, supportive and
easy to get along with.
Mr. Allen would like to
see more student in-
volvement and positive
attitudes to make for
better school at-
mosphere.
From what I have been
told, Mr. Allen is a very
good audience for the

Volleyball
tourney.
There was a girls'
volleyball tournament in
our school yesterday with
teams from the other four
high schools in Huron
attending': Both juniors
and seniors will play
Goderich, Exeter and two,
matches against
Seaforth.
Details of the play were
not available at press
time, but it is hoped that
both -teams performed
well. Last week's tour-
nament in Exeter was
cancelled because of
weather problems.
Kinc. beats Redmen
Last Tuesday, our
basketball playing
Redmen met up with
teams from Kincardine in
exhibition play.
Our senior Redmen
were defeated in a very
close game which went
down to the final seconds
before it was certain who
was the winner. The final
score was 66-60 with Joe
Verberne scoring 18 of
our 60.
Our junior Redmen
won their first game of
the season through tough
defence and a strong
offence. Jim McClure
scored 17 points leading
the team to a 71-39 romp
over their opposition.
The midgets also beat
Kincardine by a score. of
39-25.
These teams have a
Cremation plots planned
home game against F. E.
Madill today. They
should prove to be three
very close matches.
With • cremation
becoming a more
prevalent form of burial,
the Exeter Cemetery
Board have realized this
and are setting aside 100
cremation plots
The Exeter Times -
Advocate reported that
the plots are two -and -a-
, half square feet each and
cost $55. Flat markers
can be used on the 'plots.
The Times -Advocate
reported that in the past,
people who wanted their
ashes buried at the
cemetery had to pur-
chase a full sized plot.
Cemetery Board
chairman Norm Stanlake
commented that the
cremation plots would
conserve land which he
said was "being used up
pretty fast."

"No, you can't son.

Percy the pike is

glorious white teeth.
So it had been for a long

Secondary Swamp. Ever

come to the reedy section
of the swamp, Terry the
