Subject: Draggi 9 — Final Mark: Trouble The drop of a flag, the screech of a tire and they're off. Familiar sights and sounds to the drag strip student but like all good things it must come to an end. Adult -minded young- sters realize that dragging must begin and end on a licensed quarter mile within the confines of a dragway. But there are always the childish few who are immature enough to believe that the fundamentals of the course, once learned, can be put to use for real excitement on a public highway. Here is an equation for you high school "drag addicts." What do you get if you have an adolescent nut plus a swelled head over the wheel of a high-powered car titres too much gas divided by too little brains subtracted from no thought for the other fellow? The answer: a torso minus arias and legs over a blood -spattered dashboard plus a grieving set of parents times several funeral wreaths divided by a marble headstone. Of course, as in all mathematics, there is a way to prove the accuracy of your answer. Take the morbid statistics plus a police day -book !pinus cautious drivers tithes freak accidents over several years divided by countless lives and you get the same answer, to the nearest ten -thousandth. Now here's a chemistry experiment for you kids aspiring to a university degree. Put one smug inexperienced driver in a fast car and add one moment of carelessness. Heat until you see the smoke rising from a burning wrecl<. Pour out into an ambulance, transfer to a hospital and wait until cooled on an operating table. Observe the stainless sten pin in the hip that loved to dance. See the crippled body of a once supple youth. Notice the wheelchair in which he'll spend his life. Concluded that one night of thrills was exchanged for a lifetime of painful regret and miserable existence. Dragging and racing have not place in the curriculum of students enrolled in the study of life, If you want to take the other subjects--tnarriage, children, financial success, old age, don't waste the activity period of your teen years on a course that could blot out your future.

The board defeated his mot- ion by a vote of 7 to 6 when the proposal was made in the regular business and 6 to 5 (two trustees left early) when the question was re-examined at the conclusion of the meet- ing at Mr. ilenderson's request. The Field Trip Committee presented a report to the board. Mrs. Barbara Golding, of Exet- er, chairman, outlined polic- ies with recommendations for improvements in promoting field trips by encouraging schools to utilize thein as an integral portion of the school curriculum and that budgeting for them remain as an allocat- ion to individual schools. The committee asks that the board encourage the use of board owned buses for most field trips and sports activities and that a procedure be devel- oped for instruction and licens- ing of teachers who are interest• ed in obtaining their bus driv- er's license. Among the recominendations was a special request that the budget committee entertain requests for extra budgetary allotments for special programs or groups such as bands or geography clubs. Request for field trips were approved as follows: 4a students (junior outers) from South Huror High School to flay Swamp area, October 25-26, at no cost to the board; 45 students (Year 1 l iistory, Year 3 Art) from Central Huron Secondary School to Ottawa, November 6-9, at a cost to the board of approximately $100; 25 students (Senior Outers) from South Huron High School to the Bruce Trail, October 25-27 at no cost to the board; 56 students in senior technical classes at South Iluron High to the henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan, November 8, at a cost to the school budget of $101 with each student paying $1.50 toward transportation and $1.00 admission, to make students knowledgeable a nd aware of the technological changes which are taking place; 45 students in the Drama Club at Goderieh Collegiate to participate in a Drama Night at Bradford District High School; the Bradford students will host the students in their homes and then will return to Goderieh to present a play a few weeks later. The board will retain land adjacent to the Grey Township Central Public School to be used for the implementation of an arboretum forest, where students will be able to learn tree and shrub planting and science classes could take advantage of leaf studies, suc- cession studies, stream flow and stream life studies. The proposal for this plan was given by the Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority which also ANTI -FREEZE FOR SALE When purchasing engine anti- freeze for your car this winter, check the label to ensure that the product you are buying has a glycol base.
