DENIM
BY DAVID
SAINT -JEAN
What beautiful weather! I can't believe that a
mere 30 days ago we had snow on the ground.
With the weather showing a turn for the better,
it's time to do all those little t;-.,ks around the
home that are so essential and so good for
parent -kid relations. So, go out and change a few
storm windows or cut a lawn, anything that will
bring a smile to a homeowner's face. Sounds like
Dudley Dooright eh? Well never fear, it's just a
touch of spring fever and I'll soon be back to my
old rebellious self.
At G.D.C.I.:
The elections for students' council were in full
swing by my Tuesday deadline and all the
candidates were geared up for the campaign.
Perhaps next year we cab look forward to a
students' council that will be a little more active
in the issues of the day.
One example of such an issue is the current
furor that certain books on the G.D.C.I.
curriculum are creating. This issue, in which our
present students(?) council has declined to
become involved, is one of importance to all of
the students of G.D.C.I. (or should be). Unfor-
tunately, the silence from our own represen-
tatives is deafening. Want to hear what I think?
No? Then don't read the column.
I have only read one of the books involved in
the dispute but I found that reading to be a
particularly broadening experience. Salinger's
Catcher in the Rye was a book that I identified
with, as I'm sure many others have. I found that
any passages of questionable taste, plucked by
our self-appointed censors and often quoted
totally out of context, were used to ridicule the
"phoniness" of the characters involved.
The desire of many parents to protect their
children from the cold realities of life, although
well-intentioned, are somewhat fruitless at this
stage in the game. By Grade 9, most kids have
had their moral values impressed upon them by
their parents,.society and community.
What I am trying to say is that the high or low
moral tone of books studied in high school has
little, if any, effect on the social acceptability of
the student exposed to the material.
That's my view anyway. If you don't agree
with me, write and tell me so, or stop me in the
halls at school. We'll try to have a meaningful
exchange of ideas on the topic'. After all, isn't
that what education is all about?'
I've gotta go now! Remember, be kind to your
teachers, you only have to bear with each other
for II more days.
