Good News! No Sehaol New next week! Out _of sympathy for my half-dozen read - era (I doubt if there are more than that), I've cancelled the School News for next week, feeling that they couldn't stand both it and exams in the same week. Bad enough With, dust the News, isn't it? The "once in a lifetime" depart ment: A teacher actually ordered a student to chew his wad of chewing Mal Honest! It happened this way: • When the student in question raised his hand, the teacher said jok- tngly, "Whatever it is -no!" where4 upon the stud'tnt said he only wished to deposit Ms "chow" in the waste basket. Then came the "once in a lifetime" angle; the teacher actually ordered the student to sit there and chew! NOT "once in a life -time": The stranbe sounds which various students emit when called upon to give an an- swer when they are busily chewing toffee, which is "all the rage" at S. Ii. S. lately. The skating party finally took place on Tuesday night at the Palace Rink. Skating was from 8 till 10 p.m., and afterwards refreshments were served at the school, with dancing. The broom -ball game was the feature of the skating party; Archie Hubert scored the only known goal, and Bert Shaw was the only casualty. He is proudly displaying a swollen and mul- ti -colored jaw. After the skating the merry throng evalked up to the school—that, is al- most everybody walked but Ron. inat young man, apparently, prefer- red to swim, judging by the condition of his c:othes when he arrived. And everybody added insult to injury by yelling, "You're al; wet!" every time he took a header into a puddle. He made up for it by going on an ex- tended ginger ale jag when he caught wind of the refreshments at the. school. Oops, more broom -ball! 1're had repeated requests to mention the fact -that the teachers acted as goal posts during the broom -ball game, and to say that they looked quite natural, however, with exams coming on, I think I'd be wiser if I didn't, so I won't. Blah! Figure that ore out') Ali, Spring! Yes, Spring has sprung—temporarily at least, and it's causing our dear teachers no end of trouble. They complain about our being dull and sleepy in the over - warm rooms lately, and when the winnows are opened to cool the room off and sulpoaedly to wake us up, we get a whiff of that -spring-like air, and an epidemic of acute spring fever creeps out. One enlivening influence has been the use of thumb tacks. It's marvellous how quickly one comes to life when one sits on one or more t. umb tacks. The usa of tacks has its good points though -it inspires each :nd every victim with the urge to rise in the world—even if only high enough to get off the tack! The girls' house league basketball schedule finished a few days ago, and when the points were added up the Grades 12 and 13 combine team, was ahead with five points, an up 'n' com- ing Grade 10 team was second with tour; Grade 11 was third with three, and the Grade 9 youngsters pullet' a goose -egg. Points were awarded on the basis of two points for a win, one for a tie, and none, of course, for a loss. The senigr girls' basketball team, who made the group semi-finals, play- ed an exhibition game with the girls graduates' team at the school Wed- nesday afternoon, and beat them 28-6. High School—Joan Ryan 0, Made- line Wilson 0, Leona Stevens 8, Mae Clarke 2, Margaret Stevens 8, Donna Watson 4, Shirley Bennett 2, Mary Lou Sills 4, Joyce Glanville 0, Mary Maloney 0, Jean Mills 0, Mary Lane 0, Eleanor Weaver 0. Grads—Pat Savauge 0, Betty Case 5, Barbara Dale 0, Joyce Miller 0, Audrey Shannon 0, Phyllis Pretty 0. Referee—Miss Audrey Hall. Thursday night, if all goes as plan- ned, the senior boys will take on the "Five Iron Men" (the Grads) ;or a return bout—may, 1 mean. The sen- iors are expected to show a little more this time, with the addition of several imports brought up from the junior team. The Seniors are out to avenge that 59-30 defeat, so look for some action. * * ac All good things must come to an end . . . that time -worn and time - proven saying has shown itself to be true over and over again, and yet when i has a particular significance for us, it is so difficult to accept. In- deed all good things must come to an end. and the best things always seem to go their way sooner than any oth- ers. Such is the relationship between Principal and students at Seaforth High School. It has been one to be envied—net one of the antiquated headmaster -and -scholar relationships, but one graduating from the teacher - and -student to the guide -and -follower and to the friend -and -friend relation- ships. This near4Uptoplan state of affairs must, perforce, come to an end in its present form at the end of this school year, with the depar ure of our good friend and Principal, E. L. Fox. Mr. Fox has accepted the position of prineipal of ,Petrolia Dis- trict High School, and will begin his duties at the end of the present school year. l3oth the strfients.at S.H.S. and Mr. Fox's many friends outside the school will loin hi Wishing Mr. Fox the best of success in his new posi- tion, and We hope that his new friends will appreciate his influence as match as we have. Question of the Week Why Was i'itef i'a fineredf • 1 BY LEE-HEE IN THE REA ,MI OF $PART& Daily papers . , , weekly poifere . , magazines, and whispering • hear and see 'what other gentreB are doing in regard to, the erganizatioa.,of com- munity centres.'. Town after town, ev- en in this distriet, are Or have held special meetings, and by all appear- ances 'are very vouch in favor onsuch centres. Whisperings has read with pleasure the many fine suggestions that our friend, Buzz Finnigan, has written in his letters, and we certain- ly agree that it is about time THIS CONI'MUNITY made a move to keep up with other centres.. We think that the Chamber of Commerce and Legion should get together and discuss these matters. No doubt the Legion has beenactive this winter in the organ- ization and work of the open-air rinks and we give them much credit in do- ing this, but, as yet, we have to hear what the local Chamber of Commerce has either planned or done towards re. rational facilities for the com- munity. May we suggest that not on- ly the above-mentioned societies get together, but that all the societies of the town and district hold a meetin to discuss this urgent problem. Let us not be behind the other towns in the district in organizing a real live c•.:nmunity centre—a ,centre that will be of benefit to all for years to come. There is little doubt in the minds of a great many but that Seaforth needs a community centre, and needs it bad- ly. What do we hear from you . . you, and you? Seaforth Midgets are doing well in their playdowns of recent weeks, and on Monday night they held the Elmira team -1947 Midget 'C' Chairps—to a two -all tie. Both teams played good hockey, and if the locals can play the .same brand of hockey this Friday night when they play the return game at Elmira, they should come home with a win. Let us all cheer them on and we are sure they will do their best to win and enter the next round. Something of a surprise took place in the home of the Clinton Colts on Monday Tright, when the hard -bitting Mitchell crew stepped in for the sec- ond straight 'time and defeated the home team 7-6, thus putting the Colts on the sidelines for this year. It was, a sad blow to the 900 fans, but Mit- chell proved too much. The surpris- ing part was the fact that Mitchell was not considered as serious con- tenders at the first of the season. It just proves once again wbat we have been saying right along: That no team can be sure of the other fellow. It almost happened to Seaforth, too. However, they came through with a win Tuesday night over Clinton R.C. A.F. by a score of 6-4. They now meet Mitchell in the best three -out -of -five. The first game is here on Friday night, returning to Mitchell the first of the week, with the third game at Seaforth on Thursday.

Better luck next .sea- son] - Well the old bugaboo is around again . . . that nasty old reran, eat weather, with soft,ice for the play- offs. It happens at the start of the season and et the end --the same trouble. Teams in the small towns never have a long enough season, and the only remedy that Whisperings can see is that good solid artificial ice . and that hockey fails is the on- ly answer. It may cost money, but did you ever stop to consider that with artificial ice how much longer your season would be. The more games, the more intake, and besides that a carnival could be held. Some- thing that Seaforth certainly lacks this year. Most of the other towns: in the district have held a carnival al- ready. l- ready. but for the local'enthusi sats a�ad ,,disappointment. We see m.. ways and means whereby a live community centre would 'be a real benefit to all concerned. It would mean everything for good clean sportl and clean entertainment throughout the entire district. With that in mind Whisperings is more certain than ev-, er that all sport lovers will agree that "CLEAN SPORT IS GOOD SPORT" `' CROMARTY Cromarty Farm Forum met at the home of James Scott.
