XPublished by the Students of the Seaforth District High School Volw d.e II - No.. & Editors: Gisela Dorrance and Joyce Brown leach P Education NotPJ (By' F. Godin) The term P.T. is incorrect in referring to what physical edu- cation teachers are striving to accomplish in their working hours. All teachers aim to pre- pare their students for future life so that they will be a credit to themselves, parents, com- munity and country. . P.T., as most people refer to what is taught in the gymnasium, is nothing more than exercises and calisthenics. Calisthenics are used in the program, but it is a small part of the over- all course, as we will now point out. The physical education pro- gram is one 'of physical activ- ity and uses this medium to educate the citizens of tomor- row. Specifically.,...1he program is divided into• three categories: (1) core program; (2) intramur- al program; (3) varsity or inter- school program. The core program is the most important part of physi- cal •education. This is the part in which the skills, technioues and rules are taught to the students during the regular class hours. The individual is given a program of activities with a heavy emphasis on phys- ical fitness activities. Physical fitness is our first ,objective and this is accomplished with a ser- ies of exercises with an em- phasis on an increased amount of running. The activities are divided so that there are some such as football and basket- ball, which are currently popu- lar and others, like badminton, curling and dancing, which will be useful in the social educa- tion of the students. Yes, danc- ing is taught — boys dancing with boys, and I feel this helps to iniprove their social graces. 'The intramural program- en- ables the, students to take part in team games, such as touch football, basketball and indi- vidual activities, such as gym- nastics and wrestling. These activities are organized and conducted by the boys' athletic society. These boys obtain valu- able experience in organization and • ;leadership. The school population is divided into four color groups,. with each color group entering teams in the various activities. The leagues are organized to enable senior students ,:to play together, and junior boys to play in leagues of their own ability. The interschool program en- ables the best athletes to par- ticipate against teams of equal ability. Seaforth is in a league with Wingham, Goderich and Clinton. An observation here is that our school .does very well in this league consider- ing that the other 'schools have approximately 600. styidents to select teams from, and Seaforth has only about 400 students. These boys are given a very vigorous training program ; good sportsmanship • is empha- sized and they are given an opportunity to develop self-dis- cipline. Physical education iseduca- tion through activity. With the changing cultures, people are obtaining mdre and more free time.' Therefore, I feel that more and more time should be spent teaching activities that future citizens will use after they are out of school. In ,Eng- land, a greater emphasis is be- ing placed on outdoor living. Now too, the trend in Canada Math, Club (By Bruce' Miller) The 15 members -of the Math Club are now preparing for the Mathematical Contest, sponsor- ed by the American Society of Accountants -and Actuaries. The senior group (Grade 13) works under the direction of Mr. Nediger, while the junior group works under Mr. Murdie. But all students will write the same contest on March 8. The contest consists of forty to fifty problems to which points are assigned. The prob- lems are of the objective type, that is to say the correct an- swer will be in the group of answers given. However, if the answer to the question is not correct, two-fifths of the marks assigned to that question are deducted. You can see how dif- ficult the problems are 50 or more marks out of the total 150 points is considered excel- lent. To offer inducement to math- ematically,inclined students, the Univerity of Waterloo has offered a $3,000 scholarship to any student who obtains enough points to be in the top one percent of all of the students in Ontario who enter the con- test, and has an average of 66 per cent in the three maths. 'this scholarship is tenable in any of ,the faculties at the Uni- versity of Waterloo. This opportunity is not one to be neglected,`so let's hope some of these hard workers are successful \in their endeavor to will t is C Oialri�hi0, W....:. is towards more outdo9r vaca- tions. Activities such as swim- ming, boating, camping, and water skiing are becoming Very popular. We must interest our young people in the outdoors and thus prevent a future sedentary race. How is this to be done? More and more fam- ilies must learn to be active together; teachers may sug- gest, but help at the home:.lev- el is necessary. The medical profession feels that walking is ope of our best exercises. What• could be nicer than to see a family out walking in the fields, camping overnight in one of our public parks, or enjoying a wonderful Canadian sunset in this great land of ours? MRS. ERIC McCUE SDHS Secretary Is Interviewed (By Margaret Elgie) The person highlighted is -our official Aspirin -dispenser around the school, Mrs. •. McCue. Al though she claims to be unin- teresting, I don't "believe a word of it. She was horn in Seaforth and obtained her public and secondary school education here. She attended 'Westervelt Business College and worked in London for three years in the Toronto -Dominion Bank;. City Hall branch. Her one sister is A nurse at Victoria Hospital in London. In1957, on May 4, she married Eric McCue, and since "they have travelled to New York. Let's hope she stays around for years to come! -.•• BOOKSHELF The following books are list-_ ed in "Good Reading," a book prepared by the committee on College Reading, as being the greatest of the twentieth cen- tury. How many have you read? The Education of Henry Ad- ams (Adams); An American. Tragedy (Dreiser); Poems and Plays (Eliot); The • Sound and the Fury (Faulker); The Gold- en Bough (Frazer); Introduc- tion to Psychoanalysis (Freud); A Farewell ,To Arms (Hemipg- way); Brave New World (Hux' ley); Ulysses (Joyce); Babbitt (Lewis); The Magic Mountain (Mann); Of Human Bondage (Maugham); Plays (O'NeilI) ; Lincoln (Sandberg); Plays and Preface (Shaw); The Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck); The Theory of the Leisure Class (Veblen); The Outline of History (Wells);, Look Homeward, Angel (Wolfe). Sure, most of .them are not "your type". But have you ever tried to read any of them? Have you ever given the clas- sics an honest chance? These books are probably the future classics, the books that will not fade into obscurity. This is be- cause they appeal to so many people, and are recognized as great literature. These' books -may be too mature, dr too tech- nical for you now. But give yourself time to grow, your mind to broaden—and you will be ready for them some day. In the meantime, try,; teedin good.literature which is easi r• to grasp Hugo's LES MIS- ERABLES, London's CALL OF THE WIL.1577 Costain's BLACK ROSE, or even Plutarch's LIVES, if you are a history fan.

Sport Sparks (By Ken Papple) Boys Bla; Goderich Seniors 65-12 — Juniors 47-23 The Junior boys played the first . genie on Friday, Feb. 9, and they certainly displayed some topnotch basketball to the student body: Gord Pryce and Allan Patterson both tallied 11 points, and Dave Mills came close behind with 9 points. This was one of the best games that the Juniors have played. They seem to be really rolling now. When the Seniors stepped onto the floor the scorekeepers had a hard time keeping up with all the action. The game was extremely fast ar.d slight- ly one-sided. Bill Campbell was the high scorer of the .day -when he netted 17 points. "Little" Bob Reith accounted for 15, points, and lJohn Patterson col- lected 10. • WOSSA—HERE WE COME t I At the Victory Dance on Fri- day night all four teams got free lunch,' for there were no less than four victories.

Although the night was, dark and wet, the school was packed to the door, and many ,having to stand through the whole performance. Nevertheless, the very best of order was main- tained throughout. Where everyone did so well it would be out of place to par ticularize, but the opening and closing choruses by the pupils of the school, by the children so small, 'were something de- serving the highest praise The dialogues, also, , were well selected and exceptionally well. rendered., The musical part, both instrumental and vocal, was all that could be desired. in fact, the entertainment would have to be heard and seen to be appreciated, as it should be. The proceeds, after allowing the children of the school and those who took part in the program in free, amount- ed to $30. Those 'from outside the section who kindly assisted in the musical part were: Mr. and Mrs. John Scott,'"Roxboro; Willie Hays, Seaforth, and - "Four Curly' Headed Coons."
