This school year South Huron has sent three of its athletic teams to OFSAA in field hockey, boys curling and girls hockey. Many other stu- dents are also on teams outside of school which have had much success, such as hockey or ringette. Also, the SHDHS music department's Intermediate and Senior concert bands and Red and Black Jazz bands made an impressive showing at the recent Regional Music Fest in London, with the Black Jazz band having a gold level performance. The Senior concert band is Panther Profile EXETER — Everyone at South Huron is back into routine after the March Break. This week we are doing fundraising for Jesse's Journey. In the period one classes, students have been collecting change. Money raised by Jesse's Journey will go toward research into genetic dis- eases such as Muscular Dystrophy. The classroom that collects the most money per student will win a free pizza party. Please remember to raid your piggy banks and bring your spare change to period one class- es Friday. The Thirty Hour Famine is tak- ing place this Friday and Saturday. This will be the eleventh consecutive famine held at South Huron. There has been outstanding interest shown by students, with 199 students signed up to partici- pate. There are a lot of activities planned to keep everyone busy, including games, movies, karaoke and more. Money raised through this event goes toward famine relief, education projects in third world countries and programs for impoverished Canadians. If you would like to make a donation to the Thirty Hour Famine, you may call the school at 235-0880. Thanks for your support! Next Tues., April 6, is Grad Photo Retake Day.

This is a problem occasionally but soon doctors will be able to electronically send prescriptions to your pharmacy and they will be totally legible. This new system is starting in the U.S. and will surely be in Canada soon. Cola drinks contain phosphoric acid which may bind to calcium in the body and reduce bone density. Women who drink 3 or 4 cans of cola drinks a day may take that risk. Although work is still being done on this, it is a good idea to restrict cola use, especially in young girls. Don't use cotton -tipped swabs to clean wax out of your ears. You could push the wax in deeper and risk puncturing your eardrum. There are safe over-the-counter products for removing earwax. Infection -control experts are recommending people working in the health professions use alcohol -based gels on their hands during the work day. They are quick to use and do reduce the risk of spreading infection. You can use them in your own home also. It's important to apply enough so you can rub your hands together for about 20 seconds before they are dry. If you are traveling, these alcohol rubs are great to take with you. Use them often. Also, make sure you have enough of your routinely - taken medication with you. Its one less worry on your trip. Huron Apothecary Ltd.

It's hard for me to think that there are still certain people out there who think that high school stu- dents are nothing other than lazy and unambitious. Do they think that anyone who is under those stereotypes would give the dedica- tion needed for all of those various groups to get where they are today? I don't play hockey or any other related win- ter sport, but I'm fairly certain that if the only ice time you can get for practice is in the early morning, you take it. Doing that several times a week, plus games, can really have an effect on some people, especially those who play for both a high school and town team. Being in Senior con- cert band, I see a lot of the dedication put in by other students in the program. I am only in the one band, which practices before school twice a week, but some of my fellow members are a part of two or more bands, often find- ing themselves at school early in the morning at least four days a week. It can't be forgotten that all of these stu- dents also have various amounts of school work and after school jobs to worry about, and have to develop time man- agement skills and learn how to deal with some of the stress that comes with being involved with so much at once. So I would just like to say congratula- tions and good luck to all of my fellow classmates at South Huron who are mem- bers of teams, clubs or groups for the success and pride they have given to the school and surrounding area. Their hardwork and dedica- tion should not be over- looked. DEB TOO RA NK Four ATVs stolen BLUEWATER — Huron OPP were contacted about a break-in to a garage on Parr Line in Varna March 24.
