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 erv. MD has HIS _FATHER'S DAY IS THE TIME TO GIVE DAD .

The stu- dents were pleasantly surprised 4,with the talent the teachers came up with. They began quite seriously, ?r so we.thought,..mith a, guar- . • tet compoieil•of Mr. Taylor on 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. Mr. Stuckeytoldhis amus- ing tale about "the yellow bel- lied sap sucker or was it a robin?" 1 0 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! When his wife complained about sitting home again tonight, hub- by very graciously offered to • B&G Commission conducts survey It seems we're not to be dis- appointed with the B & G Com- mission serving its pur 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.. .,,,,,k . „.:.,,r.,. .,.- r Nancy Ouitst saiiihat It Vas interesting and very d/ffetent from those of past yaw.

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.
