Take -the case of the
Northern Hunter. He
starts in a location. He
travels 1 km South,
shoots a bear. H then
moves 2 km East, then 1
.krn North -and he is back
in' his original position.
What colour was the
bear?
—The—beer- was—whitei
since the hunter did this
at theNorth -Pole. This

geometry involves flat
surfaces. You cannot
have a triangle with.sides
50-50-100 on a flat surface,
but it is possible on a
sphere, or on the Earth.
Ken Clynick showed his abilities as a physical education teacher last Thursday.
when he was the first teacher to finish the walk-a-thon which was 10 miles long
and 20 miles for bikers. The event was held to raise money for sporting ac-
tivities at CHSS. (Jack Hunt photo)
This Week at CHSS
La
the Athletic Association*
held its walk-a-thon bike-
a-thon.
Many students par-
ticipated in this event to
raise money for various
sports activities. Dale
Smith, a Grade 10
student, was the first to
complete the 10 mile wal
in e little over an hour. In
Tony Gibbings was the
top finisher with a time of
one hour -Il minutes.
This event was a
success and many were
involved in it but the final
financial results are not
yet known.

Everything dow,. but taxes
by nellelle Corbett.
The government oi
Ontario has continued to
reduce its funding of the
educational system'. •
Declining enrollment
has added to the in-
creased cost of educating
each student. As a result
education taxes have
increased steadily over
the' past years while
schools offer a con-
tinually ,narrowing
selection of courses,
using run down , and
antiquated equipment
This year there are 984
students attending CHSS.
Next year this figure is
expected to drop by more
than 100 to 875 students,
There are two main
reasons why enrollment
for next year has dropped
so drasticlaly.:.
The number of students
attending CHSS from
Seaforth will be 20 less
than this year as well, the
large Grade 12 class
which is, for the most
part graduating this
year, is being replaced by
a relatively small
number of students en-
tering Grade 9.
The sharp decline in
enrollment for the 1980-81
school year has meant
the reduction in the
number of teachers
needed to staff the school.
The school board follows
a formula to determine
the number of teachers
needed for a given
number of students.
This forniula has left
CHSS with 55 teachers for
next year, five less than
this year •and two, les6
than needed by the school'
to offer the same course
selection to students as
this year,
Because of staff layoffs
(those With the least
experience are laid off
first), the average age of
teachers is rising. At
CHSS this average age is
well over 40 and it is not
expected to drop.
• Students are not
receiving the benefits of
fresh ideas and en-
thusiasm characteristic
of younger teachers.
Because there has been
a reduction in the size of
the teaching staff,
several courses have
been, affected. Two Grade
13 courses, one on
American history and one
in Canadian Literature
were dropped from the
curriculum since there is
already one Grade 13
course in each of these
areas.
Both the shorthand and
communications and
business procedures
(CBP) have been cut
back from two periods of
study. each daily to one
period of study. As well, a
general- English program
and a general typing
program, both offered in
year 'three have been
renrved from the
curriculum.
In December, the
Huron County. Board of
Education passed
policy setting minlinum
enrollment for classes,
effective the 4980-81
school year. Once the
class size falls below this
level, the section or
course must be cut.
Coupled with this is the
number of pupils that a
teacher is allowed to
teach on any given day
-ace of'd frig
contract.
The effects of declining
enrollment and resulting
board policy are
numerous. The greatest
impact in the academic
area will undoubtedly be
on Grade 12 and 13
.courses which tend to be
criore specialized and
thus much smaller than
the average Grade 9 or 10
clas s.
Several students
planning to attend Grade
13 next year are finding it
difficult to meet the six
credit requirement for a
Grade 13 diploma
because the courses that
they need or want to take
are not being offered.
Although there are 13
Grade 13 courses being
offered next year, not all
students have the
prerequisite's necessary
for all courses. A student
who has not taken a math
course since Grade 11
cannot be expected to
successfully complete a
Grade 13 math course.
Steps have been taken
in an attempt to remedy
these side-effe.a.s. In
order to meet the 12
student minimum,
several departments,
most notably the
language department,
have looked at combining
two grade levels of the
same course in the same
time slot to be taught by
one teacher.
Next year Grade 12 and
13 Spanish students will
be taught together as well
as Grade 12 and 13 Latin
students.
Some students have
considered transferring
to other Huron County
high schools which offer
the courses that they wish
to take. Although they are
free to do this, they are
responsible for their own
trans portation.
Other students (five
so far) have decided to
take correspondence
courses to complete their
Grade 13 diploma
requirements.
•. Government grants for
schools are based on the
,number of enrollment
xnearts a ,declipe' Iii the
amount of grant money
available to schools. •
This, coupled with a
general reduction in
education spending by
the provincial govern-
ment has resulted in a
significantly smaller
amount of money
available to school
boards in a very tight
position.
They are ',under
pressure to regulate
spending to keep
—property -taxes -down end -
yet at the saine tirne they
have to be careful of
cutting too many
teachers and too many
programs from schools.
The Government of
Ontario created the
present school system,
however in recent years
they have cut back their
financial support to this
system, leaving an in-
cr easingl y heavier
burden on tne shoulders
of the taxpayers.
Clearly, there are two
alternatives. The
province can continue to
cut corners in an attempt
to save money, thus
reducing the quality and
range of education
received, or they can
restore the level of
support necessary to
maintain_ o_ur _present_
school •system, thus
providing the students of
this area with
educational opportunities
comparable to those in
larger centers.
Soccer teams
competing for
playoff sports
On Friday the St.
Marys soccer teams
visited Clinton.
The junior team played
a hard fought game to a
scoreless tie, but the
seniors were victorious
over , the opposition,
beating them 4-1.
Goal scorers were Jim
McClure, Ben Winnings
and John Elliot with two.
These games result in the
juniors having to
probably win their
remaining games and the
seniors are in a com-
fortable position heading
towards the playoffs.
