Zielman TIMES—ADVOCATE CO-OP STUDENT EXETER — South Huron District High School is starting a new ping-pong club for students of any type of skill or activeness. The school has changed its schedule to accom- modate extra -curricular activities after class. The ping-pong club has been created for students to have fun, be active and improve hand -eye co- ordination. The ping-pong club was created by teacher Chuck Mallette and organized with the help of Phil Conley and former teacher Bob Robilliard. Mallette saw an opportunity for the club to be created last year during the 30 -hour famine. He said, "Last year during the 30 -hour famine, I brought in my ping-pong tables for the students and the students were constantly playing ping- pong all the time and that said to me there is some interest in ping-pong." Last year, former principal Jeff Reaburn took Mallette's thought into account and bought the tables and equipment, hoping for a good turnout. This year the ping-pong club has been a great success. So far there has been an estimated 25-30 students show up regularly on Thursdays and it has been such a success that the club will possi- bly rum on Wednesdays after school. The club has remained competitive and wins and losses for each student are recorded that will eventually determine the format of the playoffs that occur towards the end of the year. Tournaments will also be held throughout the year and at the cost of $1 per game, students will compete against each other and possibly for a trophy. The money raised will be put back into the club for tables, paddles and balls. Ping-Pong People — South Huron District High School teacher Chuck Mallette plays a game along with the students.

Zielman) Panthers pick up two field hockey victories EXETER - The South Huron field hockey Panthers travelled to Mitchell on Oct. 16 for two make up games. In the first game against Listowel, they took control from the starting whistle and did not look back. After 14 minutes, Emily Lacasse scored the first. Nine minutes later, two mid- field players linked up with some exciting play and Karly Bryson scored on a pass from Keri Reschke. The score at half time was 2-0 for South Huron and half way into the second half, Bryson again netted, with Sandra Gregus providing the assist. Gregus was on the setup again as she worked hard to play the ball to Staci Miller to bring the total to 4-0. The Panthers were continuously parked in the Listowel end of the field and racked up a total of twenty four penalty corners. Taryn Anstett earned the shutout in net. Rookies got in some valuable time to improve their game. In the second game, Mitchell provided the opposition on a less than perfect pitch, where the grass was very long and the sur- face uneven. The Panthers again were the stronger team even though they played a little flat, according to coach Jim Workman. Miller scored on a Gregus pass half way into the first peri- od. The score at the half was 1-0 for the Panthers and Lacasse added a sec- ond near the end of the game with Reschke providing the feed to bring the final score to 2- 0 for South Huron. This was not the prettiest game, Workman said, but under the circumstances was a good score. This was again a game domi- nated by the South Huron mid- field and forward line, but the defensive unit of Marlee Heywood, Alanah Hodgert and Ashley Renning withstood any challenge that the Mitchell team mounted. Anstett again recorded the shutout in net.
