"Those Were the Days" and
"Good -Bye". There was a brief
interndssion,
The main feature or star of

Teachers and Grade 13's
vie and tie as entertainers
Last Thursday's first Lit
meeting of the year perhaps
clued in a few of the grade
niners and Lucknow imports who
were previously wondering about
such a production. Through
the year they had heard a lot of
talk about plans for Lit meet-
ings, but lack of co-operation
among the students failed to
activate such an event.
' lasereiort,' the Stu- •
-irjl
COUncell: hoping' to &urn
up some excitement, formally
challenged the, grade thirteens ,
and the teachers to a competi-
tion as to who would come up
with the best production.
Monty Templeman, presi-
dent of the Students' Council'
and MC for the afternoon, in-
troduced Barrie Conrbn. Barrie
was spokesman for die"gradel3s
andlntroduced their opening
number. Many students have
experienced times when it got
a bit sticky for the science
teacher who Was faced with the
problein of teaching reproduc-
tion to his classes. This first
skit was a take -off on problems
which might arise at such a
time. Mac McLeod, Don Mc- e
Kinnon and Donna Elaine Ritch-
ie were the students coming up
with tricky questions for their
teacher.
The next, skit portrayed a
bashful young man trying lo
make a purchase from a female
• clerk. Although we're not sure
who the young lady was, the
shy lad, was portrayed by pow 4(p
• The next part of the Lit
meeting was performed by the
cheerleaders. We're proud to
say that our girls stood first in
the Huron -Perth Track Meet.
These humorous little "cheers"
were a far dry from what we
have heard on the -football field!
The grade thirteens also
•came up with a series of
"cleans and dirties" taken from
a record. The student bod y
seemed to be somewhat disap-
pointed with the lack of taste
involved in some of them.
With the completion of the
Grade 13 program, Monty in-
troduced Mr., Wardrop, the

spokesman for the teachers.
Their entire production seemed
to be a similiar style to that of
"Laugh-In".With short amusing
incidents occurring continually
one after the other. The stu-
dents were pleasantly surprised
4,with the talent the teachers
came up with.
They began quite seriously,

the bass and Mr. Stuckey on
guitar, aided by the voices of,
Mr. Wraith and Mr. Simpson.
We didn't know we had such
fine talent in our superior ranks
Then, the pace changed a
little, With mt. Fleming com-
V on stage in his diaper, bow
and arrow in hand, expertly ie -
citing his version of "I sho t an
arrow in the air".
• Following Cupid'i, perform-
• ance, we witnessed a conver-
, sation between an English farm-
er and a Scottish farmer. The
Englishman was telling his
• friend Of his problems with his
ailing animals. The Scotsrrian
came up with a rather amusing
"solution" to the problem. Our
Englishman was portrayed by „
Mr. Haly, but we were too in-
terested in the legs beneath the
kilt of the Scotsman to recog-
nize who he was.
Sticking to country scenes,
we were next subjected to Mr.
Webster's problems with milk-
ing.a cow. His yellow work
pants and 'red apron didn't seem,
-to help him much since the
cow kept kicking the pail away
from him. Finally the "o 1 d
pro" gave up and hung a sign,
"condemned", around the poor
cow's neck. We're not sure
which of the teachers was lucky
enough to play the cow, but we
have a faint suspicion that was
Mrs. Tiffin's screech we heard
from Betsy as she sang "I' m
Nobody's Moo Cow Now" and
pranced Off stage.
Our Japanese gal, Mrs. Bali,
came .on stage in her kimona
and toldva -Joke in Japanese.
Unfortunately, no one seemed
to get the drift of the message.
However, after a few 'Moments
we heard a hoWr from the aud-
ience:And looked Up to see Mr.
Simpson racing up tb her in his
ki,mona. They hugged each
other Japanese fashion and dis-
appeared laughing outrageously
at their shared joke.

ing tale about "the yellow bel-
lied sap sucker or was it a

The scene then changed to
that of a young couple at home.
Mr.' Brandon, came home from
work exhausted, looking for a
refresher. Mrs. Graham, his
wife, gave him several bottles
of coke which he downed one
after the other in one gulp. No
tricks, either—he really did it!

We've already started to se
signs of them trying to improv
conditionsaround the school.
'A couple of weeks ago they
tried to encourage the student's
to come up with a new name
• for the Lit meetings, hoping
this would develop more inter-
est and co-operation.
Last week they held a survey
in which all students filled out
forms giving their op inions
about certain elements in the
school. It dealt with such prob-
lems as improving school spirit •
and the constitution of the
school. We hope to hear about
• the results of this survey soon.
The Students S
Last Thursday's Lit meeting.
brought a variety of opinions
frorn the student body. Here
are a few of the cormnents.
Janet Thompson was quite
Impressed with the show the
teachers put on. She also added
that she thought the band was
really good.
Joanne Greer claimed she `
thought the skit that the grade
thirteen students put on at the
first of the program was alright
but the cleans and dirties
Apparently she thought Mr.
Fleming's role as cupid made
the whole show.
'Laura Inglis shared Joanne's
opinion that the grade thirtens'
play -was really good, however,
she also took.exception to the
cleans and dirties.
Ann Welwood thought that
on the whole the Lit meeting
was good, except that some of
the parts of the cleans and dirt-
ies were in poor taste. Sh e
thought the rest of the program
was quite funny. She did add
that it would be somewhat nar-
row minded to reprimand the
students for the questionable
parts of the program..

• Mr. Fleming and Mr. Sirrip-
son perfottned their little skit
in which(they took an out and
aut crack at the calibre o f
students. Oh well, I guess
we've done it to them often •
enough, eh? Actually, I don't
think they really believe we're
quite as dumb as their portray-
al.
Trying to prove that teach-
ers don't live Monday to Friday
exatence, the teachers clued
us into the personal activities
of some of our superiors. We
learned a lot: Mr. Roberson
goes camping with his Boy Scout
troop and gets chased by a bear;
Mr. Aberle gets tight in a bar
and gets chased by his wife with
a rolling pin!
The teachers' production
ended vflth the quartet return-
ing to sing Green Fields.. This
ging was thoroughly enjoyed by
the students.
As an extra, Joan Fischer,
a grade 12 Student who danced
In the school.play, p erformed
a number. for us to the music of
Bonnie and Clyde. Many of
the students who missed the
play were surprised at her out-
standing talent.
• The Lit meeting ended with
the music of the Whooch. (Sor-
ry if we've 'spelled it wrong
fella's, but how were we to
know?) The band -consisted of
Paul Fleury, Bob Armstrong and
Neil Renwick on guitars, with
Monty Templeman on drums
and Doug Campbell as vocalist.
Their first number was "Magic
Carpet Ride". In the next two
numbers Doug was accompan-
ied by their "Soul .S is ters
Sheila Crewson and Judy Mc-
Dowell. They sang, "Light My
Fire" and the Beatles" "Hey
Jude". This band is newly or-
ganized;, as a matter of fact,
ihey just got together. the week
before the Lit meeting. Re-
gardless, they did an excellent
job.
With the teachers and stu-
dents both putting on such fine
productions, the Judges wete
unable to decide who was the
best. As a result, the prizes,
leftovers from the candy drive,
were given to the student body.
