Slave Dwelcomes Grubs" to hili, sc � Y- embarrassing but harmless tasks on Maht Last Thursday afternoon if you had the chance to go downtown at lunch hour, you may have noticed some high school students acting very well. Some students included strangely. In fact, some may shaving cream, perfume, have even looked different makeup, eggs and tomatoes than usual. If you didn't in their list of things to bring,guess what was going on, it but these were not allowed. If was Slave Day at SDHS, the we were allowed to bring annual day for senior stu- these items, the halls and dents to welcome the grade streets would become a mess, nine students (Grubs) to the not to mention the grade nine school. Well, if they don't feel students! Also, Slave Day is welcome now, they never not the same as initiation. will. Slave Day is a day for older Wednesday after school, students to buy some' grade the grade nine students were nine students, or slaves, to given a list of things to wear work for them and do as they while.

However, they did a doing the crab walk, doing lot of ridiculous things during the duck walk, proposing to unsuspecting individuals not to mention their terrific sing- ing. But all in all they suffered nothing more than perhaps embarrassment and sone knees. OUTLOOK Before writing this column, I looked through my scrap- book and found a column that I wrote when I was in grade nine four years ago. My outlook on initiation has changed a lot since then. the day that they may not have anticipated. The fun part of Slave Day is making it fun for the grade nine stu- dents. If the jobs you ask them to do are not too unreasonable, they might just enjoy themselves. At approximately 12:15 you might have seen five grade nine girls cleaning the Post Office steps with tooth brush- es and singing all of the IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER YOU MAY NEVER FORGET. Back then initiation was al- lowed and senior students were allowed to wash your hair with eggs, tomatoes, molasses or anything else they wanted and cream rinse it with vaseline. Also, Slave Day toot place the day before initiation so we actually had two days of torture and embarrassment. Kangaroo court also took place a few years ago. It Is no longer one of the events during initiation. So, if you heard a grade nine student complaining about rough treatment during Slave Day, just think, they could have had it worse.

(Hundertmark photo) 4-H Club learns about ethanol The 4-H Agricultural Machinery Club met Aug. 25 at the farm of Philip Durand, R.R.2, Zurich. Secretary Ross McIntosh read the minutes, Len Lobb introduced host Philip Durand. Mr. Durand explained three years ago he set up his ethylene alcohol. He showed where he grinds the corn, then the masher which turns the corn into a pulp by adding water, the cooker, fermentation tanks and he explained how the separator separated the mash from the liquid called beer. He then showed the distillers, told how they worked, and how he made them. Mr. Durand even showed how to test the alcohol with a hydrometer. Phil can produce about 40 gal. per hour. which is a fair amount. It takes approx- imately 15 cents per Titre to manufacture this product. Making ethylene alcohol re- duces the oil costs by not having to pull as much out of the ground. The mash that he gets from separation can be used to feed cattle be- cause it is twenty per cent concentrate. They have one tractor and ear converted, which gives them about 25 per cent more power. The proper name for this gas is ethanol. They cannot sell this fuel because d taxes Out on the fuel. Appreciation was shown to Mr. Durand for such an interesting evening. - Press Reporter Larry Hoggart 1.898 Select right Knotted Cedar TAG '49 n PRICES IN EFFECT TIL OCT 1 1983 ii Yards To Serve You GOOERICH.
