large poull bow added to the
back interest. A crown of crys-

Mr, Alphonse Meagher, Lon-
don, twin brother of the bride,
was groomsman, and Mr. John
Morrison, Toronto, brother of
the groom, and Mr. John Meag-
her, Stratford, brother of the
bride, were ushers.

Ryan, Dublin, soloists.
After the Mass the bride
placed a rose at the feet of the
Blessed Virgin while the solo-
ist sang "Ave Maria, 0 Maiden,
0 Mother?' During the signing
of the register Miss Ryan sang
a hymn to the Holy Ghost.
A dinner followed in the
Brodhagen Community Hall for
the immediate family, nieces
and nephews. Later in the af-
ternoon a supper and reception
was held for relatives, neigh-
bors and friends. The bride's
mother greeted the guests,
wearing a two-piece ensemble
of winter taupe, French broca-
telle, gold accessories and an
orchid corsage. Assisting the
hostess, the groom's mother
chose a dress of peacock blue,
silk jersey with match acces-
sories and an orchid corsage.

ern Ontario, the bride donned
a sheath dress of antique ivory
brocade with brief jacket, top-
ped with a black honeycomb

Dance Honors
Football Team
(By Gwen Storey)
The stage show and dance,
sponsored by the football team
of 1961, proved to be fairly
successful. The evening start-
ed off with dancing to records.
At about 10:15 pin., the first
item on the program began. It
was an operation performed on
Bill Uhler by three well-known
specialists: Doctor Y. A. Mis-
cue (Bill Bates), Doctor T. M.
Zembaleski (John Patterson),
and Doctor V. V. Yavonavitch
(Ken Storey). The illness was
unknown (both before and af-
ter the operation), but the deli-
cate duty was performed quite
skilfully with a saw, brace -and -
bit, monkey -wrench and ham-
mer. When the operation was
completed and Bill's "incision"
was sewed with cord, the poor
fellow, forgetting his pain, rac-
ed off the stage, chased by the
bloodthirsty doctors.
Next was a demonstration of
a typical football, with Mr.
Godin portrayed by Bill Uhler.
Following was a demonstra-
tion in First Aid, given by Ken
Cardno, Fred Uhler and George
Townsend.
The final event was a "dance"
which was supposed to resemble
a kick -line, performed by the
more rhythmatical members of
the team. (They must have
been saving up for this, because
none of it was shown in the
last game). These boys includ-
ed Tom Dick, Jim Sills, Bill
Uhler, Ken Storey, Bill Camp-
bell, Benny Akker, John Pat-
terson, "Honey" Elliott, "Lov-
able" Tom Phillips, Ken Bed-
ard, and Jim Dick. After a
brief display of legs and flying
skirts, the boys kicked them-
selves (and each other) out of
the gym, to end the program.
The dance continued with a
special feature — the Slave
Dance — where Dorothy Boyes,
Benny Akker, Bruce Whitmore
and Brian Travis were auction-
ed off for a dance (or more).
The evening was also high-
lighted with a duet by Benny
Akker and Tom Phillips, still
garbed ih their Can -Can outfits.
Their performance was unde-
scribable, but nevertheless very
amusing to everyone.
The dance ended at 12:00,
and I am sure that those who
attended enjoyed it very much.
CONSTANCE
The ladies of Court Constan-
tine L-1742 entertained about 55
ladies last Saturday evening at
the COF Hall, Constance. The
evening was spent in progres-
sive euchre and a penny sale.
Prizes for the euchre were won
by: high lady, Mrs. Borden
Brown; lone hands, Miss Lois
Bernard; low, Mrs. Williamson.
After the penny sale all enjoy-
ed a delicious lunch.

of Detroit, visited last Satur-
day with Mr. and Mrs. Ross
MacGregor and daughters.

attended the Royal Winter Fair,

end with Mr. and Mrs. Frank

TEACHER PROFILE
NORTHERN ONTARIO NATIVE
INSTRUCTS IN HOME ECONOMICS
(By Ken Papple)
An out-of-town teacher has
been chosen this week to be
in the limelight. Mrs. T, Mc-
Cauley, from Exeter, is the
Home Economics teacher at
SDHS.
She came from New Liskeard,
100 miles north of North Bay,
where she attended public and
high school; then she attended
Macdonald Institute to receive
her Home Economics course.
She was married in the spring
of 1959 and lived in Bowman-
ville until recently, when the
family moved to Exeter.
She is interested in skating
and swimming, as well as piano,
but she now has another time-
consuming project as t h e
mother of 1% -year-old Norman
and six -months -old Alicia.
Our school is the first that
she has taught in, and likes it
very much. She is enthusiastic
about the proposed changes to
be made in the Home Econ-
omics room during the Christ-
mas holidays.
On behalf of all the students
I would like to welcome her
to SDHS.
Girls' Sports
(By Geraldine McTaggart)
The G.A.A.
After a few years inactivity,
the Girls' Athletic Association
has been reorganized under the
direction of our new PT teach-
er, Miss Slavin, The purpose of
the G.A.A. is to help girls'
sports in general in the school.
The executive are as follows:
president, Geraldine McTag-
gart; secretary, Margaret Ann
Stapleton; treasurer, Joan
Pryce.
Volleyball
On November 2, Clinton, God-
erich, Wingham and Seaforth
girls met in Clinton, all hoping
to win the Huron Secondary
Schools Volleyball Champion-
ship. The Seaforth Juniors bat-
tled through, but were unable
to post a victory, and the Gode-
rich girls won the Junior divi-
sion. The Senior girls were do-
ing a terrific job by defeating
both Goderich and Wingham,
until they came up against the
Clinton squad, who gave our
girls their only defeat, and the
Clinton girls went on to win
the championship.
On Thursday, Nov. 16, at 3:30,
most of the student body turn-
ed out to find out whether the
Staff or the Senior Girls were
the best volleyball players. The
staff team included: Miss Cocks,
Mr. Dobson, Mr. O'Brien, Mr.
Murdie, Mr. Cosford, Mr. Godin
and Mr. McConney. Their op-
position was Joan Pryce, Pam
Stapleton, Cathie Eckert, Ger-
aldine McTaggart, Phyllis Bry-
ans, Margaret Ann Stapleton
and Faye Little. The two teams
were very evenly matched, with
the Senior Girls winning the
first game 15 to 10, while the
Staff won the second game 15
to 13, so we still don't know
who are the best volleyball
players. I think that everyone
would like to have another
game to declare the winner.

Hang Up Spikes
As Football Ends
(By Ken Papple)
The school team has hung up
their spikes and stored away
their equipment for another
year. However, the basketball
season is just around the corner
and practices have already
started.

permit it. Congratulation again
on your wonderful school spirit
and let's show the other schools
who is best in basketball.

OUTLINE NEW REGULATIONS
TO GUIDE STUDENTS AT SDHS
(By Gwen Storey)
On Friday, November 17, an
assembly was held at 3:30 in
the school auditorium. Mr.
Plumsteel spoke to the students
about the new rules that were
drawn up for the four schools
--Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich
and Wingham—concering danc-
es.
The aim of the rules, he said,
was to improve the relationship
between the students and the
members of the staff who act
as chaprones at the dances.
The staff, in recent years, has
been regarded by the students
at dances as "policemen". These
rules are aimed to obliterate
that feeling and result in bet-
ter dances.
The rules are as follows:
1. Students should appear
and remain properly dressed:
Boys: shirt, tie, sports jacket or
suit; Girls: suitably dressed;
they should keep their shoes on
during the dance.
2. No smoking allowed in the
gymnasium, the gallery, outer
lobby of the gyrn, or the stage.
3. Smoking permitted in the
main corridor only, i.e., from
the gym to the ilredoors, and
down to the stairway. Students'
Council shall see that recept-
acles are placed for butts be-
fore each dance.
4. The old part of the school
is not to be used, and the fire -
doors shall be kept closed, Le.,
pupils with lockers in the old
part of the school will not be
allowed to use them during
dances. Cloakrooms and coat -
racks will be provided.
5. Students must have an ad-
mission card for any invited
guests. These cards must be
obtained by 4 o'clock on the
day of the dance from the Prin-
cipal.
6. Student Identity Card must
be shown for admittance to the
dance.
7. No admittance to any
dance after 10:30 p.m.
8. Once a student leaves the
building during the dance, at
any time, they will not be re-
admitted.
9. Students' Council should
organize each dance, Le., have
Paul -Jones', girls' and boys' tag
dances, etc. They should be
sure and keep the stag -line
back out of the way, to allow
sufficient room for those danc-
ing.
10. Before each dance, the
Students' Council shall prepare
a list of the students respon-
sible for the various duties each
night of the dance. • •
11. Any ancient evicted of a
breach of the above rules shall
be prohibited from attending
school dances for the balance
of the school year.

Hospital Details
The regular monthly meeting

with a good attendance of
members and visitors. Mrs. M.
W. Stapleton, president, con-

meeting. The treasurer's re-
port showed the net proceeds
of the rummage sale to be
$189.00.
Alice Reid was appointed
convener of the turkey draw,
replacing Mrs. Leo Stephenson.
Mrs. F. R. Cosford, one of
the two delegates from the
auxiliary to attend the Ontario
Hospital Association conven-
tion, held in Toronto, gave an
excellent report on the various
speakers, luncheons, committee
meetings and displays. Some
new ideas were brought back
to the organization.
Mrs. Stapleton introduced An-
drew Y. McLean, chairman of
the Hospital Board to Scott
Memorial Hospital. Mr. Mc-
Lean outlined the history of the

porated in 1924. The board of
trustees consists of 14 members

Information concerning the fi-
nancing of the hospital, such

the building and equipment,

answered many questions con-
cerning the Ontario Hospitaliza-
tion Commission and the extent
to which it maintains control
over the activities of hospital
boards. As an example, he told
the meeting the maximum
amount the board may spend
on raw food is 90 cents a pa-
tient day.
He also told of the work and
planning that is being done in
connection with the new hospi-
tal which will be built in the
future. In conclusion, Mr. Mc-
Lean thanked the auxiliary for
