The usual resolutions range from saving money to losing weight. Our faithful ole 1014 M^d- ern English dictionary at home states p resolution is fixed determination; con- stancy of purpose. Well, I don't know about you but 1 find it difficult to stick to my resolutions. The first one l can remember making said 1 would get along better with my brothers; well ° you can just imagine how that one turned out. The next I think was about weight. That good old faithful one which I still haven't completed, but at least 1 didn't gaits any. And of course 1 had others but I can't remember them all. 1 guess that's not really being fair but near the end of the year you tend to forget or • say well just one won't hurt or think I'll be better tomorrow. Resolutions are good. If we didn't make them we wouldn't have anything to restrict us. We can always help other people keep theirs. But the best thing to do would be to make one and do your best always to fulfill it. -Debbie Hulley (.1(1 G O1'.

Ski - Waiting dor those storms As' you have probably noticed there is something very different about this new year. When we look out our classroom window. expecting ;yvifld blown snowflakes and 'inountainsofsnow, all we see instead, is the bare autumn ground. To adults this is great. No shovelling out laneways, get- ting stuck in the snow, driving in the treacherous weather and the cold feet and hands that come with it. It seems Mother Nature has tricked us into believing that winter will not come. But when we step outside into the cool, crisp air we soon realize that winter is just around the corner. Somehow winter just isn't the same without skiing, snowmobiling, tobogganing and those winter storms that close the area schools. I'm sure every student dreams of the day when they wake up to hear the voice of the announcer on the radio exclaim "Sorry, no United Trails buses running today and SDHS is closed." -Happy New Year - --Tammy Driscoll S.D.H.S. CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY . On December 20, SDHS held their annual Christmas assembly. This assembly gives struggling. young per- formers of the arts, a chance to let their hidden talents shine. One highlight of the show, was a visit from "Santa Hoegy Claus"; who took many teachers aside to tell them why- Santa Hoegy wasn't going to leave them any presents under their Christmas trees this year. He also had some interesting suggestions, as to what they needed to do to be good boys rhP fnllnwino vear. Other highlights were such skits as: Suicide, Twas the night before.,., and also the infamous "How Gargamel Almost Stole the Smurfs Xmas'. . -. Later on, to help finish our assembly 'Santa' made his: appearance, and presented our lovely secretaries and also 'to the hard-working custodians with gifts. For the "grand finale". Lucille and Jayne Delaney and Cathy Kelly sang some choice selections, and after the girls and Lisa Harvey led the whole gym in song. This was my first Christ- mas at SDHS and 1 was truly impressed with the assembly, and other Christmas activ- ities taking place throughout the school. And 1 am looking forward for many more to come. -Doris Glanville iers are sick of the grass and little children are anxiously awaiting the days when they can build snowmen in the front lawn. However, some people are thrilled at no snow because this,simply means - that they dn't have to shovel -that rotten white stuff. So you see, different things bother different people. But there are pet Peeves that bother every- body. Take for instance, one of my favourite pet peeves is when 1 go to get a teaspoon of sugar out of the sugar bowl for a cup of tea or cereal, it always seems that the sugar bowl is empty and 1 have to fill it. Now this could be sheer laziness on my part and'it probably is, but it still bugs me. The same thjngs seems to happen with toilet paper) Another pet peeve is when you finish washing your car in the summer it always seems to rain. The solution is to *ash your car only after it has rained for a few days and you are sure it won't rain again. Have you ever gotten into a really interesting book only to find that one of the pages is missing or ripped? Or maybe you were geting to the the peak of a mystery book or television program when the telephone' rings. People seem to phone at the best times. You might be in a room painting with your hands all painted, or having a bath, or perhaps your hands are in dish water. It seems ttfat the phone rings at these most important mo- ments. The 'problem is when you wipe the paint or soap suds off of your hands or hop out of the bath tub and dry yourself off to answer the telephone, it is a wrong number anyway. This is definitely a pet peeve. NEXT WEEK Back to televisie-, Have you ever experienced the joy of getting deeply involved in a soap opera or drama of some sort only to find out 'that it is to be continued next week? This is especially annoying if you know that you won t be able to see the rest of it. Another pet peeve for everyone would be waiting for a particular section of the newspaper and by the time you finally get hold of it, it has coffee spilled on it and is "unreadable". the arbor's january clear -the shelves sale?

One of my favourite pet peeves is to buy a S4 pair of nylons only to find that they get a run in them during the first wear. This is really annoying. However, 1 have read that if you per' a new pair of nylons in the freezer, over -night, take them out and wash them, they are less likely to run. I don't know if it works or not, but it is worth a fry• Another . problem ladies run into is when they are baking. Have you ever been in the middle of a recipe only to find that 3w1A pre 4hprt.half a cup of.suggt, or something that simple, but yet so vital to the success of the recipe. This has happened to me many times. Thank goodness for neighbours! They'usually cone to the rescue. This is the season for football and hockey and a bit of basketball. Nothing an- noys me more than to turn the TV set on for a soap opera or another favourite show and find that it has been replaced by a treasured sport! Recently, one of those famous soap operas, Texas, has been taken off of the air permanently. What a heart- break) We'll never find out whether Ruby will have a boy ora girl) There are lots mere pet peeves for females but niay- be we should consider the troubles of the male species. FOR MALES ONLY - Have you ever gone to shave only to find that the razor blade is dull because another member of the fam- ily has borrowed it to shave her legs, sharpen a crayon or experiment with shaving? I can imagine this can be annoying. Or how about driving downtown to a store to buy a product and finding, out five minutes later that the same product was on special at another store or was on sale the day before. Another pet peeve would be buying a new hockey stick and breaking it during the first game of its use. Or have you ever gone to park your car in a busy parking lot only to find thitt someone with a FOR LADIES ONLY This part of my column applies to ladies only be- cause they are presumed the only ones who can relate to it. However, if there are any more expensive car has double-parked in the last vacant parking space? That would be enough to drive anyone crazy. Have you -ever noticed that you can drive for miles and miles looking for a restaurant or gas station and finally find one highly priced one. Then. when yQu drive around the corner y+ou see several conl.- petitive franchises. This is aj f McKILLOP. MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY Established 1876 Ph. 5274400 ' 91 Main St. South, Seaforth FULL COVERAGE Farm & Urban Properties typical and definitely one of my pet peeves. I'm sure that there are a lot of things that annoy you time and time again. There is really nothing we can do about them. The easiest thing to do is laugh them off and' make jokes about them. A lot of your pet peeves are probably shared by others. What is your favourite pet peeve?
