It's Christmas -bah humbug
BY DOIUS GLANVILLE
It's Christmas time once again (oh joy, oh
bliss). Do 1 seem rather 'scroogey'? Forgive
me. I sometimes forget that the true
definition of peace, love and joy is stuffing
yourself until you can't walk, shopping on
Dec. 24 with three million kids in a shopping
mall, (did I omit screaming?), kissing
relatives and being reunited with the part of
your family whom you don't see all year (and
for a good reason.)
Explain to me the sense in spending your
last $20 on a chain for your boyfriend (which
he refuses to wear); and leaving fattening
goodies out for a man who obviously does not
need them.
I guess I am taking on an "un-Christmas-
sy" attitude. Really, I'm not as scroogey as I
seem.
We got our Christmas tree this week, rl
came home one evening, and there it was. F r
a moment, I thought I was in the wrong living
room.
In case you didn't read my Christmas story
last year, or you don't know my family
Basket.aH Is
The Seaforth Distr'ct High School first
sport season has, with the participation of our
senior girl's basketball squad in the OFFSA
tournament, officially came to a close.
In action this fall were cross country
running, junior and senior boys volleyball.
and midget, junior and senior girls basketball
teams.
intimately, even remotely, there is some
information that must be passed along before
I continue. Never, in the entire history of this
Glanville family have we ever had anything
even resembling a Christmas tree. There-
fore, it didn't seem natural to find a gorgeous
six footer in front of our livingroom window,
glistening with snow, bushy and broad.
, 1 could almost swear on the Bible that in
years past, my family walked into a bush, and
selected the first green thing in sight. Usually
it stood five feet high, (when father finished
with it, three feet high). "We'll just trim one
more branch.,,.twelve branches later) and
wore a sign that said "pick me". I'm
deformed ugly, and no one in their right mind
would want to take me home."
Of course, as soon as we cut it down we
would notice the sign on its back - "Thanks
sucker!"
With the "posting" of our tree, along came
the gifts, on display beneath. Our black cat,
rather possessive, took a liking ter the brightly
wrapped parcels, and has taken vigil on
them. He thinks they all belong to him. They
don't.

He's becoming as bad as my Dad last year.
It is rather heart -breaking when you have to
drag a man of his age and stature, sobbing
and kicking out from under the Christmas
tree. It becomes quite embarrassing also,
when the company has to get down on the
livingroom floor on their hands and knees in
order to even speak to the man. After he's
setup camp under the tree, it's difficult to
tear him away.
I noticed a sleeping bag sitting out
yesterday. I hope he can hold off for a couple
more days, as I was 'planning on having
friends over this weekend. 1 guess I could tell
them the reason why he is living under the
Christmas tree is because he's not my Dad,
buta computerized robot. Naw, it'd never
work.
You know, I can still remember the year we
told him that there was no Santa, it nearly
broke tiis heart. The poor guy wouldn't eat for
days, we thought he was going to hunger
strike. We ended up telling him we were only
joking around.
He didn't laugh.
t at SDHS
Huron -Perth conference and the WOSSA
tournament.
Cross-country running, not a glamourous
sport at the best of times, is a team that's
always short of members. individual honors
were attained, however, as many runners
qualified for WOSSA by finishing in the top
10 for their category in the Huron -Perth
meet.
Basketball, the premier sport of the school,
received a welcome boost in Sept. when about
30 girls signed up for the sport. There were
enough players to form three teams, instead
of the usual two of previous years.
Even though the records of the midget and
junior teams could not be described as
triumphant, the players received the valuable
experience which will transform them into
skilled competitors when they reach the
senior level.
As is common knowledge, the 1584 senior
girls have completed yet another successful
campaign. They earned a third place finish in
Huron -Perth by winning eight of 10 regular
season games. They were eliminated in the
semi-finals by Stratford Northwestern who
scored a tie -breaking foul shot in the final
second of the play-off game.
Not yet content to hang up their basketball
shoes, they travelled to WOSSA and
persevered against incredible odds by
beating heavily favored teams and captured
the crown for an unprecedented fifth
consecutive year.
An appearance at OFFSA provided a rifting
conclusion to their schedule. They emerged
as winners from the first two games but were
eliminated in the third and failed to attain
ranking status in .the tournament, Thus
ended the girls' 1984 basketball season.
