Punk look no problem
The "punk" look is not a problem in Huron
County secondary schools says Joe Wooden,
principal off Central Huron Secondary School
in Clinton. But he said the punk look can be a
problem in urban areas.
Mr. Wooden was representing the princi-
pals from the county's five secondary
schools. He was presenting the schools'
guidelines for school conduct at the Huron
County Board of Education Oct. meeting.
The general view taken on dress is that it be
clean and acceptable in the school. Trustee
Joan Van den Broeck questioned him on the
dress code, noting they are open to an
individuals point of view. As an example she
said earrings on a young man may be
offensive to some.
Happy birthday to Nancy Stewart on Dec.

One school only
up for review
Enrolment at some public secondary and
elementary schools in Huron County remains
low, but there will be no accommodation
reviews this year.
The Huron County Board of Education at
its Nov. meeting agreed to not review any of
its schools.
It was noted that the only school identified
for review consideration which was not
reviewed last year was F.E. Madill Secondary
School in Wingham,
In the last sehool year, three elementary
schools were reviewed. J.A. D. MacCurdy in
Huron Park, Hensall Public School in Hensall
and Vanastra Public School in Vanastra, but
none were recommended for closure.
A report from the board's executive
committee said that the Sept. 30 enrolment at
F.E. Madill was 935, down from the Sept. 30
enrolment of a year ago of 949. '
Director of Education Bob Allan said a
student population of 935 is till a viable size
and provides a good student base, He said
province -wide, F.E. Madill is probably in the
upper half as far as student population goes.
What you have though is a building that
would accommodate a lot more students,"
said Mr. Allan.
But classrooms are sitting empty. One
classroom houses the resource teachers for
the north half of the county and a second
classroom is used as home base for the school
resource teacher.
In the near future it is expected that one
classroom will be converted for use by senior
students from Golden Circle,
Consideration is being given to locating an
intermediate special learning needs class in
this facility as well,

The 'committee setting up the guidelines
spent more time than he thought necessary
on thedress code, said Mr. Wooden. 'He said
it is tough for schools to come up with dress
codes, because society in general doesn't
have any codes for dress.
"You can wear almost anything any-
where," he said.
Both he and Goderich District Collegiate
Institute principal Herb Murphy said that the
onlysituation where a dress code has to be
enfrced is when a student wears a T-shirt
with an offensive slogan on it.
Mr. Murphy said he has never had any
difficulty or has been challenged by a parent
when a child has been sent homefor wearing
an offensive T-shirt.
F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham
is the only school which clearly defines the
school's dress code.
Students are expected to avoid extreme
forms of dress and grooming which the
administration deems to be in poor taste.
Shorts and T-shirts with obscenities or
slogans which are offensive or in poor taste
are not permitted. Shoes must be worn. In
shop classes, students must wear shoes
which afford some protection from sharp
objects. Students with long hair may be
required to wear hats in areas involving
machines.
The Goderich secondary school principal
said there is a difficulty every year with
students wearing shorts. He said he can live
with patched jeans, recognizing the fact that
not all families can afford designer jeans.
WASHING CLOTHES, 1800s style, caught
the Interest of Michael Preszcatur, Scnit

particularly Interested in the actual laundry
procedure, but they enjoyed churning the
. wheels of the old machine round and round.

It's something you'may have overheard but will
seldom hear discussed. Yet it's a brutal reality. For
every year, one woman in ten is abused by her
husband. Put down verbally. And beaten up physi-
cally -to the point of unconsciousness, hospital-
ization or death. In fact, wife assault is involved in
on• at of all Canada's homicides,
Clearly, physical abuse of any kind is against
the law, Violence against wives is especially repug-
nant. The children in these homes may grow up
conditioned to accept abuse, or renew the cycle by
abusing others,
