Get with the in-group
Here comes the Judge;
here comes the Judge!
Kangaroo Court is in session.
You get your face pushed in
whipped cream; you get
water squirted at you and
you get a pie thrown at your
face. These things are going
to happen to three people be-
cause they did not dress up
for dress -up day. The Stu-
dents' Council has found a
way to make the students
dress up on dress -up days.
The students say, "What if
we have a good reason for
not dressing up? What if we
had to go to the dentist, or to
the doctor?" So what? You
go to the dentist or the doctor
for only a few minutes. Just
tell them it is a dress -up day.
Student exchange
Wilma Vandervelde, a
Grade 11 student, is off to
Quebec for a three-month
stay. She is on an exchange
sponsored by the Ontario and
Quebec provincial govern-
ments in which French and
English students live in each
others' homes in order to
acquaint themselves with
another language and cul-
ture.
Wilma went to Toronto on
Thursday, . Feb. 2, to meet
with the other Ontario ex-
change students and then
traveled to Quebec by bus on
Friday. There she joined her
exchange partner's family.
Wilma is on this exchange
with Christine Boudreau, a
Grade 10 student who was
here during the fall term.
She will be living in Granby,
15 miles from Montreal, and
will be attending the high
school there, taking French,
math, physical education
and biology.
Wilma has taken French'
since Grade 3 and required
two years of high school
French in order to be on the
exchange. She learned of -the
exchange from her French
teacher, Mr. Campeau, and
Geoff Fillmore, a former ex-
change student.
While there she will attend
the Quebec Winter Carnival
and she also hopes to get
some skiing in. -Her career
plans also have something to
do with language and we
wish her the best of luck in
the future.
So, Wilma, "Bon voyage et
bonne chance."

Geog. club
ski trip
On Jan. 21, about 20 mem-
bers of the Geography Club
braved the cold tempera-
tures of minus 22 degress C
to go skiing on the Falconer
ski trails north of Wingham.
Members arrived at the
school between 8:30 and 9:00
to get skis, wax them and try
them out.
At 9:00 we headed for the
trails and skied until 12:00.
Everybody enjoyed them-
selves and a few pictures
were taken to get permanent
records of the many wipe-
outs some of the skiers had.
We 'would like to thank
Brad, our bus driver, for tak-
ing us, although his skiing
wasn't quite up to standard.

Everyone knows that summer
jobs give students a chance to
earn money to continue their
education. But that's just part of
the story. Summer employment is
also the best way to get the kind
of experience that makes it easier
to eventually find a full-time job
Employers who hire students •
help to develop skills that will
benefit them in the future.
The Government of Canada
will assist sponsors of Summer
Canada Works projects with a con-
tribution towards student wages
and job-related overhead costs. .

You are not ashamed of your
school, are you?
They also ask, "What if we
have nothing to wear?" Go
ask your neighbors, friends
or relatives. You probably
ask them for .other things.
Just tell them you have to
dress up for dress -up day
and surely someone will
have something you can use
or wear.
Just because your friends
aren't going to dress up is not
a good reason for you not to.
They are just "school spirit
poopers".
Don't get with the "out"
group; get with the "in"
group — the largest group
who dress up on dress -up
days. Come on everybody,
get with it! Get the school
pumping with spirit!

expanded greatly and
' referral sources are much
more diverse now. The
community is reminded that
referrals can come from
individuals, not just profes-
sional resource people. If
you know of someone you
think would be interested in
learning more about the cen-

For those people who do
r.•
appreciate winter's beauty,
may I suggest you read
"Staying Happy in Cold,
Dark Winter" in the January
issue of the Reader's Digest
by Lowell Ponte. The—key
point of the article is "Ac-
tivity is often a good antidote
to winter blues." This
doesn't just mean cross-
country ski,►g in a marathon
race — you can use human
warmth to fight the chill. So,
get together with friends and
relatives or keep in touch by
telephone.
