Where's the Constitution?
Editorial
Prepared by students of Seaforth District HighSchool who are solely responsible
for the editorial contents of this page. Sylvia Smith, Editor. Staff Advisor:
Mr. A. DobSon.
Stephen Smith 12D
About two years-ago the th,eril
newly appointed Student's Coun-
cil acquired a Council Constitut-
ion so as to set out limitations
within which they were allowed to
act, This would be roughly at
the time of the opening of..the
new school additions. Because
-the original Constitutiop could
not be located the teachers .and
student's council worked together
for several weeks composing the
new regulations which now exist.
You may ask what ,this con-
stitution is. I'll even go as far
as to bet that there are students
who don't even know such a thing
exists in our school, When the
new constitution was decided upon
there were only enough copies
made for the student representa-
tives of the Student's Council
who were 'supposed to show it to
the class members. I was fort-
unate to obtain a copy for myself
by snitching it from the bulletin
'board when I was sure no one
was watching. This all took place
about two years ago and I am'
positive that there have been no
copies distributed since.
The constitution is composed
of codes or set of guiding prin-
ciples, both for those who at
present are under the influence
of the institution and for those
who will be under its influence
in the future, which generally
means the rights, privileges and
most important the responsihilitr
les of the students'of our school.
If enough students were interes-
ted, and were willing to show it
to their superiors I am sure that
they could quite easily be famil-
iarized with it..
Contained in this set of regu-
lations are such „things as the
definition of a student, respon-
sibilities of that student, am-
mendments and rules, rights to
veto, and the y responsibilities of
the Student's Council, gis con-
stitution goes into the details of
the student's Council's composit,
ion and procedures of their meet.
ings which I am sure that many
of us don't know nor do we know
perhaps •what goes on. For in- .
stance what are the duties of
the President and his council for
the school and the students?
Information on grants and
loans made by_ the council may
also be detected. Such important
matters of expenditures of the
council must follow regulations.
Do you know of these regulations?
Nominations, removals from
office and quorum are also ex-
plained in an' understandable
manner. To me the constitution
is the back-bone of our school
council operation. Is this not
enough reason for uS to make it
our business .to demand to'know
how things in our school, come
about? Don't you want to know?

REVIEW
Under New Management Junior French Club
Practises Song, Play You may have been wondering
why the 4 ‘S. D. H.S. Review" has not
appeared in the last few issues-of
The Expositor.
Due to several incidents, how-
ever, the organization of this page
his been next to impossible. With
people stranded here and there
during the great storm of '71,
exams' and the vacations, we just.
simply could not call a meeting
. and produce a good, interesting
Rage in time for a weekly publi-
cation.
But let's forget about the,
past and take'on a More optimis-
tic view. Since the last issue, our
staff has undergone quite a
change. A new editor has been
elected (yours truly) and our
staff has expanded from six or
seven to approximately twelve.
This expansiOn is. gratefully
acknowledged by the original staff'
and I would like to give well-
deserved thanks to Mr,
Plumsteel, Mr. IVIurdie and Mr.
Dobson.
As for the future, who can
tell? • I can only hope- that our
page will be satisfying and
interesting to our readers and
also be a credit to Our school.

On Tuesday morning -of last
week the grade twelve Physical
Education classes had a new and
interesting experience. . They
were taken to the Seaforth Curl-
ing Rink to try their luck at the
sport of curling. Their instruc-
' tors were •Mr. Johnston and Miss
, Weiler, the heads of the. P. E.
courses. The consensus was that
all had an enjoyable time. Some
students 'may take up this sport'
on a permanent basis, which
shows what involvement in
courses can do for arty particip-
ant.

Because there are only six
or seven people in the Junior

fantastic is expected as a re-
sult of the activities but they are
trying. • The Members of Junior
French Club are: Mary Claes-

Nobel; Mary V,anDyke(president)
Margaret Vah Dyke; 'Donna Mal-

During . the last couple of
months, the people who are in the
play, "Inside Lester" have been
practising every possible day,
in order to be prepared for the
opening night. This play, in three
acts, is a very funny comedy,

The man was sittineat the
lunch counter busily scribbling
figures on apiece of paper. The
cafeteria owner became curibirs
and asked him what he was doing.
"My„..vife is on a diet," re-
plied the man, " and shet,told
me she's losing Jour pounds a
week."
"So?" queried the owner.
"So, if my figures are cor-
rect," explained the man,
"Au Clair de La Lune" and
".:.Alouette". The club have also
been practising a play entitled,
"Le Pouitron Courageux" which
means "The Courageous Cow-
ard". The cast Consists of five
characters who all happen to be
boys. The action takes place in
a, high school where • a student
gets into "a little more than
trouble" with the teachers.
The French Club is working
hard on this hilarious comedy
and hope it will turn out to be
a great success, '

The story is about a detective
who swallows a diamond, and
then, is tracked down by a gang
who take him to their hideout.
But, there's a twist in the plot,
and it is discovered, that he did
not take the real diamond, but a
decoy. (the real diamond is act-
ually hidden in a flower-pot). As
the story unwinds, the detective
really does take the real diamond,
and another crisis arises.
., This comedy will be shown on
"Drama Night" on April 29 and
30. So, come out and enjoy
the file and laughter! •
"I'll be completely rid of her
in about eighteen- months."
The lady was visiting a
farm and wishing to display her

business, she asked brightly,
"and how many mink skins do
You get from each animal?"
"Only one, lady,'" replied•the
owner. '"If we try, to skin
'em twice it makes 'em nervous."

The time for the annual Seaforth District
High School Formal draws near. April 16, 1971
is the date of the event this year and the many
groups of students who have volunteered. their
services for such things as decorating, welcom-
ing, food services, and so forth have been very
busy in the evenings planning for the big night.
The theme is Ultra Modern and allows many
hidden artistic talents 'to be% transferred from
6 ideas to reality. I am sure thattlifite who attend
will appreciate the time and effort -spent on
Preparations to make the evening as enjoyable as
possible.
Reactions to the results of the exams just
over, are, as they probably have always been,
disappointing, surprising, and evens amazing. The
teachers have out-done themselves by getting the
papers back in such short time. Could it be that
the sooner than usual deadline they had td meet
caused this?
Many students are having • quite a time set-
tling down to the regular .routine of school work
again alter being out Or a week during the
Easter mid-term holiday.`k Another reason for
this unrest could also be the anticipation of the
extra two days they are receiving over the
Easter weekend, It is amazing how a student can
forget routines and problems of school in such
a . short period of time such as a week or even
a long weekend.
Chem Class
Probes Food
Grade 12-C are about to start
a project involving the chemistry
of food. Each person is to do a.,
project on their own.
For exafriPle, last year some
students experimented with the
different kinds of chewing .gum
Which are on the market, From
their results they showed which
gum had the highest sugar con-
tent and which contained the
lowest.
Who knows maybe they Will
discover a new food! • .

difficult test of one's abilities in
mathematics.
