'WELCOME BACK
MR. DOUGHERTY t',
MI are happy to weitome
back a friend and teacher,
Rtury :it;. Dougherty,
Mt. Dougherty came back
to us after a year in Exeter
because of a promotion to
Commercial Director.
Inomparing schools, he
feels that S.D.H.S. has bet-
ter school spirit and fewer
problems because of the
smaller number of students.
However we"donot have the
technical- area that Exeter
has,'The sentestef system is
new to him because he left
before it was instituted.
'He really has no prefer-
ence in schools and likes both
Exeter and Seaforth equally.
Mr. 'Dougherty is the
father of 3: Heather 25, who
is married; Randy, 23, who is
single arid Paul, 19, who is
single and lives at home. His
hobbies include fishing,
boating; computers, downhill
skiing, accounting and
coaching cross-country. Mr.
Dougherty will have taught
14 yrs. in January. Before
teaching, he was in the
R.C.A.F., Worked as a purch-
asing agent with the Federal
Government and as an ac-
countant with General Mot-
ors.
His future goals are to
move to other schools and he
hopes that his health will
The grade nine phenomenon
At the end of each school
year; the local elementary
schools "crank out" numer-
ous students they are
through educating. `When
these students immigrate to
high school in early autumn;
they are strangely enough
called: Grade Nines.
These people, occupy the
school rapidly and usually
find a dark corner to hide in.
Grade nines are easy to spot.
They move around the halls
in large bunches, like foot-
ball players in a huddle.
We give the Grade Nines a
warm welcome to the s^hool:
INITIATION. After drat, they
can have all sorts of fun.
Each of them get their own
neat -o locker complete with
graffiti and three coat hang-
ers. Make sure to remember
your combinatioo and other
peoples' too; so that you can
stack" their locker. Gee
whiz, isn't high school fun!
Some teachers might even let
you chew bubble' gum in
class!
Neat things that the high
school has: a balcony in the
gym, smoking areas, a pop
machine and tennis courts.

Things to° expect from
some teachers: Mr. Procter's
unpredictable, ecstatic
moods; Mr. Caldwell's
bloodthirsty behavior in the
killing of unexpecting house-
flies; Mr. Johnston s ' quiet
and relaxed nature when
coaching basketball; Mr.
Hook's skill at making things
explode, stink and change
color before your eyes; Mr.
Stephens' ability to alter his
features and terrify the un-
suspecting grade nine and
Mr. Pelss' camera taking
your picture at any time of
the day.
Now to all you Grade Nines
out there reading this col-
umn: Put .down this news-
paper and start studying!
How do you ever expect to
be a brain surgeon or a
nuclear physicist.
- Dave Scott
permit the establishment of
another career after retiring
from teaching.
Everyone sincerely hopes
he will attain all of these
goals. I hope this year and
years to come will bring good
memories to him.

MR. MOORE SPEAKS OUT
ON S.D.H.S.
1 had the pleasure of
speaking to Mr. Moore. the
new vice-principal, about the
school. His first impressions
of the school were: the
students are well-behaved,
and SDHS is much different
than what he was accust-
omed to in Clinton.
Compared to Clinton,
SDHS is smaller, but we
have a more relaxed environ-
tnent. He also said both

good schools. According to «te you know. You Will get
Fuft Moore, Seaforth is acquainted with the term
unique fn'its size and studont "grubby grade niner",
body. Also the staff is
experienced and dedicated.
In a small school, the mood is
informal and when you know
everyone it makes education
much more meaningful for
the student.
About the semestering
system he said it lets the
students complete credits in
a short period, but crowds a
lot of work into that same
time.
In conclusion he added,
Seaforth is a very good
school and many teachers'
would be pleased to teach in
this institution. He is quite
happy to be here.

Gym smelly at SDHS
From a camera's .point of
view; 1 got quite an eyeful of
the goings on at 8.D.H.S.'s
initiation for the new grade
nine students. The school's
version of initiation was for
the males to be partially in
drag, carryinga sign around
their necks. Te young ladies
dressed as men, also carry-
ing a sign.
Yet we have our own
version. No rules applied.
The niners were sold in the
gymnasium first thing this
morning. This was done by
holding an auction, the high-

better change than elemen-

est bidder received the pack-
age.
The scent of the air was
not very appealing to the
nose. This was caused by a
mixture of perfume, egg and
many more tangible things.
Same of the chores for the
students were to carry an
assorted number of things,
push cars and be the targets
for the older students' target
practice.
Thinking back to my initia-
tion day, things were not as
severe for me as for the "83"
niners. Oh well, that's life.
