The third game is being played here Saturday night. In the Monday game, Seaforth came from behind to win 6-4. The Blenheim Wildcats battled the vis,- itors right down to the wire as Seaforth needed a late three goal third period rally to come from behind a 4-3 deficit to win out. Seaforth 6, Blenheim 4 Seaforth nosed out Blenheim Wildcats 6-4 here Saturday night. Although the 'Cats had a 4-1 lead r in the middle session, Seaforth broke loose in the final minutes of the game to win out. The brilliant goal tending of B. Summers in the' Blenheim net, was the only obstacle preventing Seaforth from pushing ,the score higher. Summers made 43 saves in the game, while his mates test- ed Ron Salter in the Seaforth cage 26 times. Both clubs skated and checked hard in the second frame with both clubs taking advantage of the possition's penalties. Seaforth outscored the visitors 2-1 in this period. Tom Salter carried the mail in the final period. The speedy right winger notched two goals and set up a third. It was Salter's play -making that brought the Baldwins out atthe hole. Heavy Snow, Wind Makes Driving Hazardous Seaforth district, in common with large parts of Ontario, ex- perienced old-fashioned winter weather over the weekend. Heavy snow, falling steadily Saturday and accompanied by high winds, reduced visibility to a mini- mum and made driving hazardous. While some township roads were closed for short periods, traffic was general throughout the dis- trict as soon as visibility improv- ed. The storm continued intermit- tently and on Wednesday heavy wet snow was falling. Higher tem- peratures, however, resulted in the snow packing. Hullett Native, Dr. W. J. R.

Of the four games which were played, Sea - forth had the pleasure of only one win, while Clinton took the re- maining. The Junior girls defeated the Clinton girls 20-11. Marlene Ross was the junior high scorer, with 11 points to her credit; Isabel Lyd- diatt 4, Faye Ross 2, and Ann Sinclair 3 points, all of which were free throws. The Senior girls were mowed un- der by a 25-9 defeat. The points for that game were : Sills 4, Mc- Fadden 2, Roobol 2, Rhiel 1. The Seaforth Senior boys really took a walloping when Clinton handed them a very rough 62-14 defeat. McMichael was high scor- er for the seven -man team, with 7 points; Millson and Sloan, 2 each, and Smith 4. The Junior's score wasn't quite so bad, with Clinton getting 33 points to Seaforth's 17. McFadden was high scorer for the juniors, with 9 points, Scoins and Mason both 3 each, and Thompson and Melady, 1 each. The Valentine dance on Friday night was well attended for the stormy night. Everyone seemed to have red on, even if it was only a small red heart pinned on a blouse or sweater. The orchestra really livened things up from their ver- sion of Jimmy Durante to the Birth of the Blues. The elimina- tion dance was won by Ruth Pin - der and "Snick." Arlene Diegel and Bill Strong were the winners of the lemon dance, with natural- ly the lemon as a prize. Annette Townsend and Peter Van Der Vliet walked away with the prize,. for the spot dance. fi t The annual Variety Night will be held Friday night,' March 18. What will be done at this variety night remains to be seen. How- ever, I'm sure it will be well worth the work put into the organization of it, Peter Spittal gave his report on the prices- and size of flags which the Students' Council were think- ing of buying. It was decided to let Peter go ahead, using his' own judgment on the purchase of them. Also at this meeting the question of whether or not outsiders should be allowed at the school dances arose, and it was decided to send invitations to ex -students, or peo- ple in town who would like to come and let them present the invita- tion at the door. Whether this will solve the problem remains to be seen. On Monday the students at the High School were all tested for TB. It was really amazing the dif- ferent means and ways which were tried to escape the needle. But, nevertheless, there are other places for needles other than arms or legs. $ Question of the week: Ron S.: Is a girl in First Form the reason for all the baskets?
