One thing I suet assur4 you, that it was net directed against the lo - dal snanageat.eut. ; I' am sure that If • the gentl0mau running this theatre owx ed it,: ]re Would pos- sibly give the students, more of a break. The tact :that there is not a. student price at theatres, not only caused the students to pay adult prices in Seaforth, but• it al- so makes them pay adult prices in other towns where there is a stu- dent price. The reason for this is that when there is a student price in a town or city, student cards are issued to all people de- serving them. Without these cards no student will' be admitted under student prices to a theatre. Why not help the students of Seaforth have a more reasonable rate at theatres. 'I'm sure that all the students would appreciate and back any form of heap that could be given by the citizens, the local management, and anyone else that would be interested enough to help the students of Seaforth. - Last Thursday there was another junior rugby game, It was between George Sills' team and Ken La- rone's. It was as rough as usual and the score ended up about the same as the others. Sills' team won over Larone's by the' score of 6 to 1, Geo, Sills scored a touch- down for his own team and then he kicked the convert to put his team ahead, Later Gerd, Rowland got a single to end th•e scoring. This game will •probably conclude the junior games for this year. Well. the oheer leaders are in the news again. This time they were over the radio. Last Satur- day they went to Stratford and competed against Exeter and Woodstock cheer leaders.

The teachers went to Clinton school for chest X-rays on Monday afternoon. Here comes the sad; news, folks! Examinations start this week. Don't forget the Carol Service to be held at Northside United Church, Friday, Dec. 16. Keep this date open, please. sults of this competition Will be announced this Saturday over the. Stratford- station between 10 and 11 o'clock. If this program con- tinues, there will probably' be tal- ent from S.H.S. go down and .per- form over tb,e radio. Also there might be someone go down and tell the news and important facts concerning the school. • - Don't forget; it's on the Strat- ford station on Saturday from 10 to 11 o'clock. The bugle band got under way with their second practice, which was the biggest yet. There were nine buglers and four drummers out. Altogether there will be 16 buglers when they all turn out. Mr. Close, who is leading the band, displayed a crook which win be added to some of the bugles. These crooks will be supplied by Mr. Close. With this addition to the hand it will alow them to play a larger variety of pieces. For the past week Third Form has been envied by all the other forms in the school. The reason far this is that they are going to Toronto to take in the Royal Win- ter Fair on Friday. This trip will be the same as the one last year, When Third and Fourth Forms went. They will start out about 8.30 and probably won't be back until midnight. The tickets for the afternoon show have been obtain- ed by Mr. Morrison, and will cost the students fifty cents each. The cost of the trip will be taken care of by the School Board. Of course those who don't go will attend school on Friday. The Glee Club has been very •busy • the ;last eweele°.inothat they are getting 'ready for the Corn mencenient. Don't forget, it is next Friday, Nov. 25, soebe sure to come and ,see it. The Glee Club is presenting the play, H.M.S. Pina- fore which will prove very inter- esting. Also the diplomas for the different graduating classes will be distributed. Th'e front hall of the school has sure been crowded this week. The students are all gathered to read the all-important time -table for the exams. A seating plan has been arranged also. This year the ex- ams will -be written in the class rooms instead of in the gymnasium because of the concert on Dec. 1. The dishes would have to be re- moved and seats put up in their place, so it was decided to use the classrooms. There won't be any exams written Friday, Dec. 2, be- cause of the concert the night be- fore. It seems we have some poets and cartoonists at school this year, as I was given some very "talented" work from two boys. The first Is a poem, supposedly written by Ron Sills. It goes some- thing like this: "Homely Kate stood in a field An' scared the black crows so, They all flew off and brought back corn They had stolen weeks ago." It was rather cute. wasn't it? I: didn't know Ron had such talent. The second is a joke that was given me by Gordon McKindsey. I don't know whether this is origin- al or not, but here it is: Johnny was stumpedby the question on bis exam which read: "State the number of tons of wheat anye out of Canada in. Shipp d giv- en year." He thought and thought, and fin- ally, getting an inspiration, wrote: "1941!

Over twenty players turned out for the weekly round robin on Wednesday night. Mixed doubles were played all eve- ning with R. S. Box in charge of the games. The executive is doing its'utmost to encourage playing and to get new members. One small part in its master plan is to have a case of Coca Cola on hand each Wednes- day night. One proof that this is a good idea is that it doesn't take long for a case to disappear. Results of the night's playing are: Mrs. H. G. Meir and J. South- gate defeated Mae Clarke and N. Beattie, 15-13; L. Southgate and J. McKenzie lost to Mrs. R. S.

In this day and age the "sport" has been left out. To many par- tieipants, it is simply a matter of money and glory. Instead, it is really an honor to repreeen't your county, town or school on any team. And it isn't an honor to he treated Lightly, because, to make that honor what it should be, re- quires a lot of hard work, give- andhake, good conduct and the old spirit that the gams ie never over until the last bell' or whistle sounds the end of the game. It matters not -what the final score is as long as you can (honestly say, "I did my best-" With these thoughts in mind, the Legion proposes to sponsor Minor and Intermediate hockey as a liv- ing memorial to those who "gave their best" .in order that we might enjoy the benefits of a free coun- try. • . Our new Memorial Centre is a golden opportunity to give the youth of this district a chance to develop the qualities that make good citizens. So, parents, give him or her every encouragement to participate in clean sport; help them when you can, and never let them lose heart. There is a niche for everyone. If we have enough boys indicate their willingness to play, we- shall have Duncan Cup, Bantam, Mid- get, Juvenile and Intermediate 'A' teams. With the deadline for en- tries not far away, we need to KNOW quickly in order to obtain birth certificates and arrange sche- dules. Would all wishing to play hockey, from those who can hard- ly put one skate in front of the other, to those who have difficulty 111 getting out of the rocking chair, kindly leave their full names and ages at SILLS'. HARDWARE, and the- Legion will do their best to accommodate them. Remember .. be quick!! Thank you, Lee -Hee. for valu- able space in your fine column. Sincerely, FRANK SILLS, Jr. Sppp. Officer, .Branch 156. . ae 4e We wish the Legion every suc- cess in their new endeavors and feel that they will come through with flying colors. So, boys of all ages, who desire to play hockey this winter, please hand in your names and ages at once. The Leg- ion is willing to co-operate with you .. , you do the same for them.
