Well, we've got the real scoop on what's in and what's out for 1981.8?. You probably know by ndw that the machine shop will be closed next year. Although many of us were under the impression that this closure resulted because of teacher seniority, a superintendent at the Board of Education told us that the course was dropped because of a lack of studPnt_enrolment. _He stated that the Board is in the pro- cess of doing a study of the technical program. They hope to Come up with some type of recommending policy for technical educa- tion which would indicate the best possible program. He ialso said that if the student interest was sufficient, the machine shop could possibly be re -opened. The Guidance office reported that the fourth year shorthand course will not likely be ottered next year. English 551 and Math 552 will not be a part of the regular school program but will pro- bably _ be available once again ` at night school. Set seal courses will be stacked next year. These in- clude Spanish 450 and 550, History 440 and 450; and possibly a pair of geography classes. However, the biggest change in the schedule for 1981-82 will be the class length. One of the Board's superintendents confirmed that 70 minute classes will in fact be used next year. Ap- parently some conflict arose because CHSS has the shortest school day in Huron County. (We also happen to have the second longest class time in this county) , At the Board Office we were told that .70 -minute classes will be adopted in order to obtain more class time per subject without interruption. Longer classes will mean a big change for both students and teachers. From a stu- dent's point of view, this could be a terrible struggle to remain interested in one subject for 30 Inmates e.,, (ett than usual. Those desks will certainly be getting uncom- fortable by the end of the class. However, looking on the bright side, longer classes will give students a chance to ask questions and obtain some answers about that day's lesson. For those who are really pessimistic about this new time table, think of it this way. You'll also have 70 minutes for lunch and spares! The extension of class time will also bring about changes for the teachers. It will mean not on- ly re -arranging .all . of the lessons for every subject, but also altering their teaching styles to suit the lengthier classes. The Board Office superintendent stated,, from personal ex- perience, that 70 -minute classes allow for the establishment of a closer student -teacher relationship and a greater learning and understanding of the stu- dent. Longer classes will definitely mean a great tran- sition for students ands, teachers alike. Despite all those early hours of practice, 25 students are still enthusiastic members of the Central Huron Secondary Sehool band. Here the bard is pictured in the Oaten Santa °Luus parade, and this May they will march in the Kloutpeit Feest parade. (CUSS photo) Puzzles to warp your mind For daily maintenance, Machine 15 gets 10 drops of oil for each year of its age, while Machine 23 gets 5 drops for each year of its age. Some years ago, Machine 15 got 5 drops and Machine 23, 10 drops. This occurred when Machine 15 was as old as Machine 23 is now. The maintenance pro- gram some years ago used 40 drops less per day. How much older is Machine 15 than Machine 23? Answer to last week's puzzle Tim eats 6 eggs. That means Tom ate 9 eggs. Tim eats 3 less than Tom would have eaten and 9 eggs (which Tom eats) is 6 more than 3 (half as many as Tim would have eaten, one-half of 6). Think about it. This week at Central student teachers help out Student Teachers atCHSS For the past three weeks some student teachers from Althouse College in London have undertaken a teaching assignment at CHSS. The three Althouse students are Steven Oliver, Joanne (Palmer) Lobb, and Fred Rush: Their tetras at CHSS ended at the end of last week. As part of the program at Althouse these three had to participate in four sessions of student teaching lasting for 10 weeks. This is the last sessionfor each of the stu- dent teachers who are in their last year of post graduate work in teacher tthlhirl); Thi y were at CHSS specifically because each lived relative- , ly close by orthey had some past affiliation with the school. ' This interim teaching pro- vides a good means of preparation for the specific fields which the student - teachers intend to enter. Steven Oliver taught at CHSS in the history depart- ment. Joanne Lobb, who is from Clinton, helped in stu- dent counselling for the guidance department. Fred Rush taught the auto mechanics course. It's now back to Althouse College for a short time and then they will enter the teaching profession, hopeful- ly. Players of the week This week there are co - players of the week. The two are the junior doubles bad- minton team at CHSS. Ian Peck and Steve Boussey are in Grade 11. Each has been playing bad- minton at the school for two years. Last year they played doubles together although tney were not on the school that went to Huron -Perth. Steve said that he plays badminton, an extra cur- ricular activity, to get rid of the monotony of school. He also enjoys the challenge of playing against other athletes and the exercise that the sport provides. Ian thinks that badminton helps keep him in good shape and he enjoys the competi- tion involved in badminton. Steve and Ian practise after school four days a week for two hours each practice. They will represent the school at Huron -Perth on Tuesday, April 28. Steve has also been involv- ed In basketball, and track and field at CHSS as well as tennis and golf outside school. Although Ian plays no other sports at CHSS he plays tennis, golf . and baseball. Track and field Ttie ine'ef"'- thatt -"*a?y, scheduled for last week was moved to Tuesday of this week. The team competed at London, but results were not available. Music at CHSS by Paul Hartman On May 2 at 8 p.m. the cur- tain in the CHSS gym will rise and a two hour concert, jam-packed with excellent music will begin. The "Spr- ing Concert" should be a fit- ting climax to a story which began last fall. In September of last year Mr. Robert Parr, a math teacher at Central Huron organized a choir and band A made up of any students who were interested enough to at- tend the morning practices which began at 8 a.m. Surprisingly, over 50 students dragged themselves from their warm beds and attended - about 40 in the choir and 25 in the band (many, students take patt in both activities). The music was pretty rag- ged at first, owing mainly to inexperience, but under Mr. Parr's guiding hand, both organizations have come in- to their own. The band made up mainly of students who have had previous musical training, practises Wednesday and Friday of each week. Special thanks ga out to the Clinton Centennial Band and the CHSS Students' Council who provides both support and in- struments for the group. Thus far in the school year, the band has visited local public schools to drum up support for next year's music program and has also taken part in several school assemblies. The band will be marching in several upcom- ing parades including the Klompen Feest and Spring Smile Room for improvement?

The choir practises every Tuesday and Thursday and has built up quite a reper- toire of songs. Thanks go out to Mrs. Louise MacGregor who plays piano for the group and asks for nothing in return except a nice thank - you (thank -you Louise! ). • The choir has -performed at five area churches and has been well received at each. They have also taken part in several assemblies and like the band, visited area public schools. With so much interest for music present in the school, the next logical step was to implement a music credit program. In early March several concerned citizens ap- proached the Huron County Board of Education asking for a credit music course at CHSS. The Board agreed. KNECHTEL However the course which begins next year will pro- bably be held under the night school program at 8 o'clock in the morning. (If you can figure that one out, you're ahead of me). If there is enough interest the course will be adopted as a day - school program during the next school year. Mr. Parr has been in charge of the program since the beginning and will be returning to school in the. summer to fulfil the necessary requirements to teach the course. So don't forget the concert on May 2.It promises to be an excellent one.

The board wrote it felt that some of the policies indicated that "sharing" which might be tolerated on a temporary basis, will become a long-term solution and would infringe upon the basic rights of separate , school children in being educated in separate school buildings. The board wrote that it felt haat.ander-no.t:i cumstances should separate school classes be lodged in an isolated, scattered pattern in public schools as any ar- rangements which dim their identity, autonomy and dignity is unacceptable. The board wrote it would agree in an emergency that two school units be accom- modated under one roof in separate areas for a brief set time. The Huron -Perth board will write the minister ex- pressing concern and, stated it was not interested in shar- ing facilities under any cir- cumstances. The board accepted the resignation of Sister Mary Winifred, teacher at St. Boniface School, Zurich, ef- fective March 31, 1981 and of Pauline McCabe, French teacher at St. Michael's School, Stratford, effective March 31. Also accepted was the resignation of Marjorie Glendenning, principal's relief at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, effective August 31 and agreed to a leave of absence without pay for the period April 21 to June 26 for Jo -Anne Eckert, teacher at St. Joseph's School, Stratford. Principal David Zyluk at Kingsbridge, St. Joseph's .School, was authorized to grant . permission to the Kingsbridge, Tennis Club to use the tennis courts on the - school grounds which were established by the Tennis Club and the community with grants. The board went into committee -of -the -whole . at the end of the open meeting. ANSTETT • JEWE LEl S 8 ALBERT ST., CLINTON 482-3901 AT THE MAIN CORNER We're at your service....
