Classes • opened on Tues- day, September 8 and the day began with an assembly, where principal Herb Mur- phy welcomed the students back hoping they had return- ed "refreshed and revigorated" and ready to cooperate and work together. Mr. Fox reiterated school rules and regulations and proceeded to outline the new system the school is on. Council President John Lawson suggested that "if we all pull together" the school year can be a great one and school spirit would increase. +++ The school is now operating on a new timetable. Periods are 70 minutes in length with five periods m a day and student timetables spread over a two-day system. Breaks between classes are of vary- ing length, ten minutes between periods one and two, five between two and three. No breaks are allotted between three and four due to the fact all lunches are in those periods. Finally five minutes are allowed between periods four and five. The day concludes at 3:20 where upon a participa- tion period to 3:55 takes place after which the buses leave the school. ++ Various sports activities have already started at CHSS. Both senior and junior volleyball teams have begun practicing. The try outs for the school tennis team have occurred and people have also signed up for the school golf team. Qualifying rounds for the golf will take place after school Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week. Also of note is the fact that enough people showed up to restart a Junior football team and tryouts and prac- tices for it have begun. This is the first time in several years CHSS has had a foot- ball team. +++ The yearbooks for last year began to be distributed last week. Various club ac- tivities have begun and the Chronicle urges students to pa'ticipate and join the club and help promote school spirit. Mr. Oliver, a teacher new to CRSS, is at- tempting to form a drama club, something that has been missing for the last two years from our school and this newspaper highly recommends anyone faintly interested get involved. +++ The teachers have not yet settled upon a contract with the Board and mediations are under way currently. Hopefully, a strike is not im- minent or even likely. +++ School appears to be off to a good start. Students are settling into the new routine with only mild grumbling and no major incidents or problems occurred. Good luck to everyone and a hearty welcome to the Grade nines It's back to school A virtual avalanche of new teachers has descended upon CHSS. This year seven new teachers as well as two former teachers have come to CHSS to replace those who left last year. The English department has received the largest number of replacements. Two new teachers, Mr. Oliver and Mr. Hillier, will be teaching English. Mr. Oliver, while a new teacher, is not totally unknown at CHSS. Last year as a student teacher, he taught History 450 and 350 for two weeks . and returns full time this year to teach English 250, 340 and 130. Mr. Hillier has never taught at CHSS before and will be teaching some English as well as Retailing and Consumer's Education. Further, Mrs. Jankowski, a regular supply teacher, who also temporarily replaced Miss Twiss for half a year will be returning to teach English 140. Leaving the English department this year is Mrs. Robinson on leave of absense and Mrs. Reeve, who is now full time librarian. The Math department has had to hire two new teachers. Mrs. Garland, a transfer from Goderich is teaching Math 442, Math 350, and Math 130. Also, Mrs. Wright, a regular supply teacher is teaching Math 250 and Math 441. Gone from Math are department head Mr. Russell and -Miss Storey. Mr. Russell is on leave of absence, and Miss Storey has gone to the Bahamas and is getting married. To replace Mr. Hunt, the auto teacher who has retired this year, Mr. Bakelaar a teacher from FE Madill has been transferred. In the language depart - 1.2 ment, Mr. Almeida from Goderich shall teach the Spanish and some French classes as well as becoming department head replacing Mrs. Garrett who has gone out west. Mr. Doherty returns this year from leave and resumes his, job teaching Special Education, replacing his temporary substitute Mr. Putman. The one other totally new teacher left unaccounted for is Miss Clarke who is teaching Consumer's Educa- tion and family Studies. Leaving CHSS is Mr. Kistner, the former machine shop teacher and the machine shop is closed. Also, Mr. Howard has left to go to the Bahamas. Finally unfortunately we must report the sad absence of Miss McKibbon who died this past summer of cancer. This then, is the new staff of CHSS, good luck to them, and good-bye to those who have left. Spectator sport By Beazy Snozwall I'm sure most of you witnessed that spectacular trouncing • the Canadians took at the hands of those... those... Russians. If you thought that game was,3 joke, you should have been watching the. spectators that had congregated at a.certain home where I was this weekend. The guests started arriv- ing around five o'clock and were greeted at the door with a cheery smile and a bottle of "Blue". Nothing else mattered much after this. About seven o'clock everyone tucked into the pre- game barbecue and after a couple more beers, everyone was more than ready for the game to start. As that fateful hour approached, the tension became as thick as the cigarette smokethat hung in the air. At three minutes to eight, everyone grabbed a beer and grabbed a seat. Those who got their faces slapped lounged on the floor while the lucky ones reclined royally in every chair and sofa and chair in the house. Bight o'clock! ! . The mo- ment we had all been waiting for. The puck was dropped and four people fainted! Couldn't take it, I guess. As the game progresed, the excitement rose to a fever pitch. At each near goal screams, shouts and boos echoed around the room, shattering several windows, doors and ear drums. Then it happened! The first goal! Unfortunate- ly, the Russians scored the first goal. After the effigy of Brezhnev was fully aflame, we got back to the game. The Canadian goal in- stilled our hope in dtir nation athletic prowess, but the third period several fights had broken out and the suicide rate went up 20 per- cent. The one victim of this game who kept saying how wonderful Tretiak was, spent the rest of the night wr- inging out the clothing. The next time you view any sporting event, don't watch the game, wake the people watching the game.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1961—PAGE 21 Marathon o The `Marathon of Hope' is over for this year, but there Ls no doubt that yesterday was an occasion which will live in the memory for a long time to come - particularly the children who took part. The world wide recogni- tion of this exceptional young Canadian is something of which his coun- try can be justly proud. The many thousands across Canada who paid .tribute by individual endeavour is remarkable, not only for the cause they supported, but also for the way in which it brought people together in widespread community ef- fort. This year Bayfield did not have anything specific go- ing, but remembering the Grandpa Jones' Fireside Stories Hello boys and girls, I'm glad you're here today because I have a really good tale for you. This is the time when Ethel and I decided to go out to the junkyard and play a bit of 3 -handed euchre with Conrad. When we got to Conrad's house we were sur- prised not to hear his dog Sumpy come out after us. Could this be a sneak attack? I told Ethel to go over and open the door, while I stood back and guarded her rear. Ethel opened the door and guess what we saw? There was Connies' lucky hunting hat! I immediately realized that something was amiss because Ethel noticed Sumpy's leg sitting on the table, with a note! She pick- ed up the note and read it to me, "If you ever went to play euchre with Conrad again, bring Ethel to the Andes tomorrow night!" It was signed, "The Scavengers"! ! I had experiences with those dirty scavengers once or twice before, I was sitting out ,around my swimming pool with Ethel, Conrad and Sumpy one calm night when I heard some rustling in the pine trees above us. Sudden- ly everything went wild as the crazy scavengers swooped down on us! Them dirty things would try and pick your eyes out and pull off your lips! Ethel fought them off while I ran in the house to get my weapons, but I couldn't find them. Well right then, I swore to save Conrad from them scavengers because we didn't like two-handed euchre, so away we went, to the Andes. When we got to the bus station, the driver told me he couldn't go to the Andes and that I should try flying (none too kindly) to these Andes. Well we finally figured out where the Andes were and when we landed in Peru, we were paged to the front desk at the airport. The nice lady there gave me a letter. It said `Come to Llama City 45 miles straight up. Go to the taxi numbered 14. The Scavengers". Outside of the door was parked taxi 14. I got in while Ethel put the luggage in the trunk. The driver sped right along at about; 80 or 90 miles an hour and the scenery was lovely. When we got to Llama City a man came to me and asked if I was Jones. Sure enough, - I was, so we mounted these little hairy humpless camels and went for a ride up the mountain. The furry little devils kept spitting on everything and they didn't smell very pretty neither. I thought we should have a bit of lunch when these big scavengers buzzed our little camels and grabb- ed us in their claws. I told Ethel to get the luggage but she was too busy. Those dir- ty beggars carried us to this strange cave in the lofty mountain peaks, right beside a nice lake. I wanted Ethel to get my fishing pole but them scavengers wouldn't let her. Well, sure enough, we were put in this cage and there sat Conrad with his mouth organ. "Hi Ethel, hi Grampa, how'd you get here". "C'mon Conrad lets get away from these burly little beggars." So Ethel kicked the door down, punch- ed the guards, and took their weapons. "Good fishin' here Conrad?" "Not bad" Ethel carved her way through the scavengers to the door and took out her glides. We made it down to Llama City and we're still heresoaking up the sun. Hey, Ethel makeup some waffles, eh? The president speaks Here it is already 1981. As Student Council President, I would like to welcome everyone back to Central Huron and extend a warm welcome to Grade 9's (Grubs) and a special welcome to the new staff. 1 hope that we can keep an optimistic outlook upon the coming year and remember this years aim: Have fun! That does not imply taking part in all those devious things that the administra- tion (and the law) frown upon:`"It means'i'fiat" Weir participate as a whole and take a little pride in being a part of CHSS. So enjoy yourselves and we'll see you at the first assembly. Sincerely, John Lawson (with sincere thanks to Jeff Schmidt) Chauvinism in schools?
