Academic subjects are re-
stricted to practical mathemat-
ics, English, , history and geo-
graphy. Roughly. 50% of school
time is spent in the shops.
The on-the-job training is
made possible by companies,
'hospitals and private business
operations taking a 4tudent for
a full week as an employee.
The students are exposed to ac-
tual work conditions, working -
with others, longer hours than
school and the problems of ac-
tually holding a job. The em-•
b ,
plovers give the students the
benefit of their guidance and an
opportunity to demonstrate the
skills they have. learned. At
-the conclusion of a work -week
the .employer grades the, student
according to-hQsrability:ro, do..
the work, attitude, punctuality,
co-operation and ability to take
directions. Students usually
feel these work weekrare ex
tremely valuable.
The staff and students of°this
class are indebted to the em-
ployers who assist them by tak-1

The words they roar are such
that none deny,
O'er all the earth they exercize.
their pow'r.
.As lions, they rant and rage,
to show us all
That not a thing can shake
their nerves of steel,
To question him would be
the worst of all.
To scorn that wall of ,pride
he won't conceal.
His lair is made into his own
-domain
In which he rules without re-
proach or halt
No one annuls, withdraws, or
dares complain
But, if his plan does fail 'tis
not his fault, �.
Ab, but 'tis us who want
men's life this way,
So they must rule this wick
ed world each day.

BY MAIBION DOUGLAS
If you happened to be passing
by W. D.B.._S.: around 7 a.m.
one day recently, you. may have
seen a group df shivering stu-
dents huddled in .the doorway.
Well, those were no ottlinary •
students. No sir! .They were
the One and only Olympic Ski
Team of Wingham District High
School waiting for the bus that
would deliver them to Grenoble
and some gruesome competition
Actually; if you haven't
guessed, we were just a group:
of ordinary. 'students waiting; for
'the bus that would deliver us to
Old Smokey Ski Resort and a
day of fun on the slopes.
Despite the bad weatherdwe
did arrive at Old Smokey, and'
after getting into our equipment,
we were soon out on the hills,
thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
Unfortunately, however', the
weather tooka turn for the
worse in the afternoon and by
4 o'clock nearly everyone was
sitting in the lodge, attempting
to thaw out.
.-At 5.o'clock the band, "The
Next Best Thing", set up equip -
pent and produced some great
music until 8 o'clock, at which
time we set -out for Wingham.
By 10• o'clock: we had arrived in
Wingham after a very tiring bqt
enjoyable day.
On behalf.of the tudents who
took advantage of this opportun-
ity in going to Old Smokey. I
would like to thank Mrs. Wil-
liams, Mr. Haley, Peter Callan
and Anne Qldfield4 for making '
the trip possible. Everyone had
a "really great time .
Shake the blues
Exams are in full swing this
week and.al.l students are keep-
ing activities at a minimrmm,
(aren't we?). • • But theer up',
gang, brighter days are in store.
The Athletic Council is
planning a gay evening for
March $ to celebrate the end of
exams., A dance will be held
in the' school, from 10 p. m. to ,
1 a.m. and you can dance away
your jitters to the music of The
Beaumonts. You all know how
fantastic they are -- you heard
them at the' Lit meeting.
Don't, forget; that's tomorrow
night, starting at eight o'clock.

•• THE HIPPIE •
They live, they die, they sleep,
they wake, they know; Where -e'er they go they can
not hide from life
And yet they seek the easiest
way to go.
To be alone or grouped away
from. strife.
0, why should they be, hfp and
not conform,
To life which does not seem to
them quite strong;
So love not war_so often they
. do storm
Yet theywill never" know what
makes them wrdng.
• But stronger yet are those, who
love the silent •
And equal life, to live without
much change • •
So. that they can most always ,
be content
W ithccut the need our lives to
rearrange. -
The Hippie must before his
death be made
To realize that life is -good, not
jade. --Neil Gowing 12B
