INTERESTINGLY WRITTEN UP BY A STUDENT
"The voice of Criticism does not
always speak truth," remarked some
wise person whose naive we have for-
• gotten. He is certainly right, The
• voice of criticiser has a lot say but
itisn't always right. If we believed
all it told .us :we'd all be in the liana-
tic asylum by.,now. For .:instance'. .
last week's news certainly received a
alnixed •reception. Those who were not
e:ntentiened in it seemed to think that.
at:was, all right;; but , the favoured
few `chose names were included ask-.
-ed us why we continued to ruin a per-
iectly good weekly paper with that
,.mazy column of ours. Another
young lady • wanted us to publish a
sort of postscript to the news, which
the would write herself; this was .to
...consist of a short summary of what
she thought of the School News and
• its author, Carol Taylor doesn't
-.think it fele that we don't' putt in a
`few jabs at ourselves once in a while.
IQow I ask you Carol, does that make
sense? .
Sadie Mannings went domestic this
week. She was thinking • of her
house -wifely tasks at home, and in.
her confusion forgot that this was
;not the old homestead, where 'men
ware men and women are womenly,
which is not the way it goes, at the
ca
C.C.I. In short Sadie me to school
wearing a gay pink pinny over her,
.dress. It looked very nice, but Sadie
'decided that it might get in her 'way
an school and took it off. It hung
ander her coat all morning and at
noon she rolled it up and carried it
'home in her coat 'pocket, which' Made
us rather sad. Itseemed a Olathe
tohide its nice pink flowers under
,a coat all morning. How appropriate
that Upper' School is just taking up
Gray's Elegy that part about.
"Full many a flower is born to blush
.nnseee, and waste': its fragrance ,on
on the desert air." Wheat we heard
'that it made us think of Sadie's love-
ly pink flowered apron languishing
in unappreciated grandeur in the
...desert air of the cloak-ro"um,
Alniciee : eveiyohe:, has; recovered
e4'rom rile measles now, and school as
. resuming; its pre -measle peopertione.
-.And now 'we are`' getting -down to
work to catch up what we missed
while the strike was, on. The penalty
of having a holiday.
Now the question is what to give
up -for Lent. Mr., Fines was request-
ed to give up the Easter Exams but
he refused, which we thought noble
of him. We wanted Miss )3eattie to
'give up sarcastic remarks. Third
Formers dislike being told that they
are appallingly ignorant, and. we our-
self resent those slams about our
house -keeping. What's the., use 02
keeping your desk clean anyway:. LI
',there was anything nice to keep in it,
the situationwould be • different;
. whereas all we have is a collection of
books. We aren't going to encourage
books any more than we have to.
We have been listening; to some of
our school mates talking httely, and!
have assembled here a few of their
favourite sayings.
Margaret Middleton: So just to be
crazy I: asked Bill.if
Foxie Holland: Are you cure ' it
isn't the spark .plug Bill?' .Well then
1! can't iginaine what's'tto'ong unless
we're out"of gas.
Gerttude Holmes: Oh Charles!
Audrey Murdoch: No i don't quite
nderstand-will you say it over a-
gain please?
Fred Axon: Can Olive tonne: otit,
Mrs. 'Finch?
' Pilot Horey: Ouchl Who pet that
thumb -tacit there?
Jack' C]aticy: Did you see ole Pilot
jtnnp when he sat on that tack?
Bob Draper: Hey, lay off', f -ain't
as dumb as I look.
President Passmore:' There will be
a meeting of the: Literary Executive
at fotn•, Will all please try to be
Present?
Bengali; Ila, ha! Did that French
pretty well for not having looked up
the words.
Pepper.: So I says to •Gareett, i
says, "Ifyou sayso, O. G: " 'I says.

The Colts continued in their stride
in the third, : F. McEwan took a pen-
alty in the first two minutes and Kin-,
sardine were pressing. Rath broke
away and with only one man to teat
scored on a close nn shot. Kincardine
got their second and last goal when
they broke in close and Munro scored.
Immediately Streets and Pickett sail-
ed in for another Clinton goal, Streets
stoking on Gibbs' pass': Rath and
Gibbs combined for the next, Gibbs
shooting in Rath's pass. Streets and
Gibbs wound up the scoring Streets
doing the honors in the last one.
"Speedy" Oliver handed out ten

KITCHENER A LITTLE TOQIIIUCH
FOR LOCAL BEARCATS
. The local Bearcats table' it on the
noe on Tuesday night to the tune of
4 goals to.1, in the Bret game �f the
serni-final round with Kitchener in
the 'N.O.H.A. league, played in the
local arena. The return game will be
playedin Kitchener tonight, and it
looks like curtains for our North -
we ,terriers, but anything can happen,
and it would be unfair to either crit-
icize or praise a team en the sort of
ice' that was available on Tuesday
.night. Organized hockey was impos-
sible and the teams gave up trying
to carry the puck, shooting long
shots and racing in for rebounds be-
ing the, order of the game. In this
argument Kitchener had a decided
edge,•and they hacl' considerable play
inside the Clinton blue line, although
many of their shots on goal were
weak. Whenever a player did break
into the clear it was easy for an op-
posing player to catch up as he al-
ways was fighting a rolling puck.
The only thing the first period pro-
duced was 4 penalties which avere ev-
enly divided. Ifitchener had a de-
cided edge and gave Livermore some
anxious moments, but failed to score.
Clinton was unable to work in past
the Kitchener defence. Both Ken-
nedy of the locals and Schmidt of
Kitchener received accidental cuts iso
the face, Schmidt requiring two stit-
ches.
Vroornan, speedy centre man went
in at the beginning of the second for
the first goal. Play livened up and
Cook went the length of the ice and
tied the sem.% on a solo effort. Kit-
chener made it 34 on two goals by
Scinote before the bell rang, also
they scored two goals that were'dis-
allowed.
Kowalski scored the only goal of.
the third to make the score 4-1. ale -
ton pressed hard toward the close of
the game but could not get a break.
The game was deem, with the locals'
getting 5 penalties and the visitors 3.
• Kitchener proved a fine bunch'o2
fellows • and if they eliminate the 10-
eals• should take the rest of the league
quite handily. The locals are to be
,congratulated on the excitement they
have given the faithful few who at-
tended their games. We wish them
more luck next year..

6-5 FOR GODERICH
The local Bearcats played an ex-
hibition game last Friday night with
the' Goderich Polecats and as usual
the outcome was one full of thrills
and spills. The game produced some
good hockey, some "shinny", and
what pleased the fans nnosf of all was
the four fights which the players
seemed to enjoy as much as the fans.
In the first period Goderich seemed
to be having it all their own way. It
looked as though they would beat
Livermore for the 'first 'counter' as
the Bearcats were lax in covering
around the net, but 7iawkins had oth-
er ideas, and: starting on one of his
Vole rushes he ended up by putting,
the pluck in the net behind Worthy
for the 'f list Clinton goal. Before the
end of the period Westbroohe .tied
the score, when he beat Livermore on'
a -shot from the right board from
runt inside the;' blue line, •
Goderich took a 3-1 lead in the se -
School news this week. Starter] it
four tines before we could really get,
on nue way. 'We had an even harder
• time to finish it, what with hockey,
games and everything. Hope we'll
have something better for you next
week,:. t„
Till then.. Cheerio.

FISHERIES •
JIM: "Bill, do you ever get tired of handling fish,
fish, fish, all the time?"
BILL: "Yes, Jim, but k helps me to keep goin'
when I think of the thousands of folks we're
helpin` to feed!"
JIM: "That's right -fish is important and we're
in a fine big business.'
BILL: "Wasn't always big, though. The Chief
was main' me the other day about how this com-
pany starred. Ir seems funny, now. He and his.
partner figured they would do a whole for better
if they could keep their bait fresh fox - all year
fishin'. They went to the Bank of Montreal and
borrowed on their personal securities to build' a
cold storage plant. Of course, they soon paid back
the loan, because a lot of folks saw what a good
thing this business was goin' to be and bought
stock in the company.. Now look at rhe business!
But the Chief admitted to me, confidentially; of;
course, that if it hadn't been fo'r the Bank of
Montreal, they couldn't have succeeded, and he
said it was the same way with a lot of the other)
fishery concerns." •
JIM: "A good story, Bill, and I know it's true,
because the Chief told me; too. I reckon he tells'
'most everybody, because he likes to talk about'
his Bank. 1'.t's my Bank, too. I have a savings
account there."
