Once in the Olympic 'Village, political views are put aside for the battle against height, speed and dis- tance. If Western countries do wish to do something, let them send a contingent (providing the athletes wishto go) with bearing' and dignity to prove 'Asa- periority" in sports, not war. Boycotting would prove nothing! It would be just a minor, insig- nificant step that could hardly af- fect the Russians, but cause much pain for the athletes; a step that would not change the inevi-- Instead of having this continual squabble over the politics of the hosting city, maybe it would be better to abolish the Olympics altogether. From past per- formances they have almost be- come an embarrassment to the "ennobled" human spirit. But, better yet, have the Olympics moved to a neutral country or preferably the original country, Greece, to be a permanent reminder of why the Olympics were created. The decision of boycotting should be the athletes' alone and in this way the Olympics will return to where they really belong; to the athlete!

Cardine Mulvey 1OF Another successful dance wa held at F.E. Madill, Friday 18th 1980. The thing' that made i successful was that we had our 10, very own "Studio", composed of Steven Pritchard and Kemp Currie, which played the top hits and any requests. Even if you didn't go to dance, you would have enjoyed just listening. The highlight of the evening was the dance contest, which offered first, second and third prizes if you were brave enough to "get up and boogie". The best `boogier' in our school turned out to be Grade 9 student Angie Wilson. Congratulations, Angie! This dance was one of the first dances held from 8-11 p.m. in- stead of the usual 9-12 p.m. This is to account for the wintry Weather, which by this time is usually causing cancellations due to snow storms. Special thanks to the chaper- ones and our principals as well, of course to our Student Council who helped make the first dance of the year possible.

The referee can call only what he can see and as fairly as humanly possible. As a coach wants his players to show respect for himself, his position, and his wisdom, I feel he shouldnhow the 'mine respect., for the ,Young. referee, who was doing his best. Another time Marj, a swek, young lady, was walking along with me when a man of about 50 began making fun of her. He mimicked her walk and her _speech pattern. It made my blood boil and I nearly spoke my mind but I bit my tongue in time. I have always been taught to respect my elders but after the ignorance of this man I wonder where respect has gone. If we are to respect our elders, parents and coaches; Should they not show the same respect to us when we are doing the best job we can? .10 McCormick, 12E Book review Mirror of Shadows For a book that will hit you in a way that is hard to forget, read Dorthy Daniels "A Mirror of Shadows". This book spans two generations of women, beginning with young Maeve O'Hanlon. Maeve, the descendent of a Queen, owns a mirror which will foretell the future. The mirror shows to her major happy and sad events which will come into -her Although this part of the book was not handled particu- ltahrelmewsell, , }think the author did a Tee e than creditable job on her These basically come through in the mill owned by her in-laws. TheSe people, who are rather cold-hearted, work their em- ployees in a 12 -hour day with a very minimal salary — parrot' which must go for their rented houses. As Maeve comes and at- tempts to fight against their in- humanity, she is totally rejected by the family. The employees, having endured too much, decide to revolt. Although the revolt does not go through, this does show us that the harder we push people down the harder they fight to get back up. Because Maeve's in-laws appear to be such un- bearable people, Dorthy Daniels convinces her readers to strive harder to be more humane people. This book is made more in- teresting by the historical ele- ment in it. WWI starts about half- way through the book so we get a bit of knowledge about it. As well, we get an idea of what America was like during this time. In mind for a different, yet worthwhile, reading experience? Start into "A Mirror of Shadows".

Yea, Winter Carnival, 1980, ap- proaches! • The week will storm kick-off assembly, Monday, Feb. 4, unconditionally guaranteed to break the ice and end those Mon- day morning blues. And to fur- ther loltyou4Mugog ter and.Mr,:o Wood have agr short periods Tuesday, -Wed- nesday and Thursday, (think how short period four will be, Mrs. McDonald!). During those three days you can demonstrate your finesse in such events as a tri- cycle race, roller skating race, three-legged rate, and pyramid building contest among others. As well, you can have the op- Portunq to prove your talent (or lack of Stone) in a Gong Or talent show. This could be the start of your tri n to fame and fortune. Or if your prima forte lies in being a Spectator, you can sit back and watch the judging of the leg con- test and the crowning of the snow queen. Friday, to end the week, has been designated "career day". This may be your only chance to don the clothes of the person you've always dreamed of being. Put a rose, on your pocket, you Smokers' test at F. E. Madill Last week at F. E. Madill health unit representatives from the Huron Perth Lung Associa- tion came to take a blood carbon monoxide test. This test is to measure theramount of pollutant (carbon monoxide) present in a person's blood. It was adminis- tered to smokers who volun- teered for the test. The test is simple: just take a deep breath, hold for 15 seconds, then blow into a plastic bag. This bag is connected to a carbon monoxide indicator which shows the concentration of carbon monoxide in the blood (in parts per million). If the carbon monoxide level reached is less than 7 ppm, the blood flow is altered. At 20 ppm exercise toler- ance is reduced and at 20 ppm or more vision and hearing are de- creased, reaction time is slower and, during pregnancy, the fetus is affected. If the reading is greater than 100 ppm, headaches, fatigue and even unconscious- ness result. Though many assume carbon monoxide is obtained from smok- ing tobacco alone, this is not so. High readings can be due to ex- posure to second-hand tobacco smoke, exhaust fumes from motor vehicles, industrial pro- cesses, incineration of waste, inefficient room heating, cooking barbecues, and fires. From a, group of students the following results were found: 37 of them were above normal, 5-18 were abnormal, and 61 were found normal.

Poetry corner -1 PRITHEE SEND ME BACK MY HEART I prithee send me back my heart, Since I can not have thine; For if from yours you will not part, Why then shouldst thou have mine? Yet now I think on't, let it lie: To find it were in vain, For th'hast a thief in either eye Would steal it back again. Why should two hearts in one breast lie, And yet not lodge together? 0 love, where is thy sympathy, If thus our breasts thou sever? But love is such a niirstery, I cannot find it out: For when I think Pin best re - 1 then am in most doubt. Then farewell care, and farewell woe; I will no longer pine: For I'll believe I have her heart, As much as she hath mine. Sir John Suckling Poems to Remember, Edited by E. F. Kingston ' • •
