The cheer leaders must be ad- mired for their school spirit, to say the least. There seemed tobe near- ly as much controversy and excite- ment among Goderich and Seaforth girls, as out on the rugby field. A Battle Royal ensued and the girls almost resorted to blows! Don't worry, kids; a team that can't ev- en take success good-naturedly isn't worth bothering about. • Having a Scotty dog as a mascot is a very novel idea. We hope you all noticed '"Mac" decked out in his ribbons of red, black and yellow. He sat and surveyed the crowd with a look of mild interest, and not •a bark out of him throughout the whole performance. The main ;-roblem seems to be what to do with him when the girls are occu- pied. Cars decorated with streamers and signs, drove quietly about town —there was no singing or blaring o1 horns to announce this victory, -down upon the world and gave us a sunny day for the big game of the season. But Fate stepped in and played a wicked' trick on us—i we lost. Seaforth was' off to a fly- ing start, obtaining the first touch- down in the first quarter, and gain- ing another point soon after. And so it went, but suddenly Goderich seemed to receive renewed energy, for near the end of the game they made two touchdowns, winning with a score of 10-6. Art Bolton was our hero, gaining for us •the touchdown and "Fog" Johnson con- tributed his efforts to get the other point. Many others should be men - I DRJNX BE REFRESHED 6' Masquerade JAMBOREE Cardno's ILII, SEAFORTH FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20 Desjardine Orchestra Special Door Prize to those present before 10 pm.

One of the alcohol lamps had been upset, -the flames started to spread, but were quick; ly put out with the fire extinguish- er by, Mr. Morrison. It was only a minor incident, no—not 'serious you may say, but the matter of fire, slight as it may seem, is not to be scorned or laughed at. Let this be an example to all of us to obey the rules, not only during Fire Pre- vention Week, but at all times. I know you people are wondering how long these elections are going to go on, but these, I hope, will be the last. Form representatives for the Athletic Society are: Girls— Marg. Archilles, IX; Beth Boyd, X; Pat Lane, XI; Shirley Frieday, XII; Hannah Pepper, XIH. Boys—Geo. Love, IX; Bob Allen, X; Geo. Sills, XI; Geo. Shaw, XII; Gord. Mc- Kindsey, XIII. The girls held a meeting in the library in the pre- sence of Miss Galivan last Friday. It was decided that there would be no volley ball team this year, at least not to compete with the other schools, the reason being that there is only one gym and that is needed for basketball practice. We hope this meets with your approv- al; we'd rather have a good team as two poor ones. In Assembly Tuesday, Mr. Plum - steel congratulated the students who had entered the ploughing match, It appears that we bad a fine bunch of entries from Seaforth High School, since one, at least, took a prize in each event. These students carried off most of the prize money and had the highest standing. Will wonders never cease! We had another boy as talent this week. Jim Perry played, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and "The Happy Farmer." Girls, you can't let us down like this! Isn't there someone who can sing, act, dance, or play something? Question of the Week?

A regular smoke screen is set up around our school with the burn- ing of the leaves. Can you find us? Notes on Fire Drill It is the policy of this school, in case of fire, to move the children, not only quickly and quietly, but carefully, from the school building. Under sudden impulse' caused by the fire gong, the children are in a hurry to reach safety and are in- clined to run. This we avoid by having the youngsters walk quick- ly, but not run, to the nearest exit. To prove that the youngsters are under the control of their teacher, one bell signifies that the youngsters are to stop where they are immediately. If they fail to do this. they are out of control. When the children reach the playground, they line up in their own grades under their room teach- er, then counted to see that all are out of the building, and remain out until they are told to return. When wooden stairs are still in use, fire can easily cut off an es- cape exit. To prevent the children from forming a regular routine, a red light is hung at different exits (signifying that area blocked). They must then turn toward an- other exit. Thus the children are trained to be observant and care- ful. While dismissing the youngsters as quickly as possible from the school is our objective, we wish to do it safely. To the Editor October 19, 1950. Editor. The Huron Expositor: Rumours have been started in Seaforth that the Seaforth Cham- ber of Commerce has been oppos- ing the presence of the Canadian Comstock officials in town.

Many cases of mental disturbance can be cured. i1 taken in time and correct treat- ment given at the onset. When any child or adult shows signs of such mental sickness, diagnosis by a physician should be obtained—ex- pert cape may cure the condition. Don't Quarrel Before Children A child who grows up in a family where there is constant bickering and argument is likely to develop a feeling of being unloved and unwanted that may affect his adult character. Very few families can escape occasional squabbles among the grownups, but such family arguments should be saved until the child Is hitt present.
