"My son has
chosen banking"
When a bank manager retired last year,
he wrote his General Manager to tell
why he was proud his son also had
chosen a banking career:
"I shall always recall my banking days
with pleasure and I cannot think of
any other occupation that gives one a
greater opportunity to meet people and
fbrm lasting friendships. I have been
privileged to serve the bank in three
provinces ... That my son has chosen
banking is also a great satisfaction to me.
He is most anxious to make good on
his own account."
Any young man on the lookout for an
interesting and worthwhile career—
for
opportunities to grow and get
ahead --should take a look at banking.
Have a talk with the bank manager in
yoilr neighborhood branch. It may well
prove an important turning point in
your life.

You're one of. the gang now,
Ftrosh! Yes, that's the way the
rest of the students feel about our
First POIRIleft. Good sports, full of
fun and spirit, were the frosh last
week, when they were officially in-
itiated
nitiated into S.D:H:S. Mr. Pluinsieel
gave them the official welcome
Friday night, ,pointing out how
initiation gave the new students the
opportunity of getting to know
themselves and the other students
more quickly. It also 'brought out
school spirit early in the year, he
said. Electrocutios, walking the
plank, and scrubbing. school etepsi
with a tooth brush were some of
the honors the Frosh predicted for I
themselves. All that was in store
for them was gooey macaroni,
walking the planar into a tub, of
water, rolling a peeled' onion with
their nose the length of the gym,
tying pairs together for the night,
and having some daring young fel-
low propose Wallis girl in front of
the students. 'Laughs came easy
while all this was going on. But
even the young victims admitted to
having lots of fain.
As for the dance Friday night,
it was well attended and everyone
had a good time. Square dances,
spot dance and •statue dances were
enjoyed, not foisgetting that rare
promenade. The dance committee
in charge was Doug Stewart, San-
dy McMillan, Jim Flannigan and
Ken Larone, while Babb Scott or-
ganized the lunch.
Tuesday afternoon elections were
held in the auditorium for the
Boys' Athletic Association, Coming
up, in president's spot was Doug
Keyes, while Merv. Eyre sat in the
secretary -treasurer's seat. The as-
sociation has enough work on hand
to keep them busy for some time.
Some have all the luck, or may-
be we should say `skill'. Whatever
it is, two Fifth Form boys have
been flown to Carp to represent
Seaforth in the International Plow-
ing Match. John, McGavin and
Doug Keyes left Monday night
from London Airport for Ottawa.'
From there they were told to hoof
it or take a dog -sled.
Last but not least is that big 7-5
football victory over Goderich 'Col-
legiate. Although the game was. in'
Seaforth's control all the way, it
was by no means a pushover. Al -I there was no scoring in the
first quarter, Captain Harry Jacobi
started his team early to drive the
Goderich club aback. After six first -
downs and a 70 -yard tramp, Jacobi
took the pigskin across McMillan's
convert and shoved the score to
read 0-0 at the end of the first
half. It was half wa,y through the
third quarter when tee" Goderich
quarter -back threw a long pass to
Perry over the Seaforth line, cut-'
ting the big lead. The attempted
convert was blocked and Seaforth
made sure that would be all for
Goderich. Although close in the
last quarter, Seaforth was held

BY LIE -NEE
From what we saw and heard at
the executive meeting of the Ath-
letic Association, Seaforth should
have an outstanding hoekey sea -
km.. Every member showed en-
thusiasm, and, a willingness to
work in order to' get a winning
team, capable of playing the •best
hockey here for some time. We
think that if the team, as a whole,
works and plays with the same
spirit and co-operation as the ex-
ecutive, there will be little doubt
in the minds of the fans but that
Seaforth will have a great team in
the playoffs come next spring.
We have noticed that a badmin-
ton meeting is coming up next
Wednesday evening to organize for
the coming winter months. Bruce
Gehan, president last year, is look-
ing for a large turnout . . don't
let •him down.
Did you know that FIL/Sgt.
Frank Golding, a Seaforth boy, was
a baseball•manager at Canada's No.
1 Fighter Wing, England? The
North Luffenham Sluggers won the
Harvey Trophy in the Nottingham
City Baseball League and were fin-
alists in the Midland County play-
offs, with Golding as team manag-
er. He was also named for the
Midland County all-star team.
