Emceed by Bob Perry, the children were treated to car- toons, sing-song and a magic show by Bob Perry.

In connection with Grade 9 public speaking last week I said Ken Johns, speaking on "Huron County", was first for the boys. The winner is Ken Jones from Hensall. My apologies to Ken. Four new cheerleaders were selected Dec. 15, by the older girls. These four, happy girls are Judy Estey, Sheila Churchill, Valerie Baron and Shari Robin- son. Congratulations, girls! The SHDHS cheerleaders also have new uniforms. The former outfit consisted of a red wool sweater and a short, black, plea- ted skirt. The new uniforms have retained the red, wool sweater, but the skirt is now a "pert" skirt, with red shorts underneath, the colour of the sweater. These are very fashionable and look quite sharp. The Driver's Training Course has started again at SHDHS for this year, for all students who are 16 years old or older. The first meeting was held Wed. Dec. 15 with twenty-five students pres- ent. On Friday, Dec. 17, the senior and junior boys basketball teams from St. Marys journeyed to SHDHS for two games. Both SHDHS seniors and juniors won their encounters. Last week I said Teen Town was going to Canadian Bandstand on Friday night. Well, I was wrong. There was a change of plans and they will now be going sometime in the New Year. I hope I didn't inconvenience anyone and if I did, I'm sorry. Merry Christmas to everyone and the best New Year ever. What kind of boy is an ideal date? Most girls have about the same set of lofty specifications (with minor variations) concern- ing a boy's appearance, person- ality and talents. As a practical matter, they are willing to make a few compromises, but they do inspire most boys to superhuman efforts to be supermen. Unfortunately, this "power of a woman" has not yet been fully brought to bear on one important qualification of a good date. That qualification is his ability and willingness to drive properly. Too many girls fail to object to reckless driving, either because they don't want to be considered spoil-sports, or because they themselves think that this kind of driving is good sport. A courageous and realistic ap- proach to this matter by most girls would probably accomplish more than the efforts of all par- ents, teachers and traffic offi- cers in the country have done. Every girl who joins hi this effort would be doing herself a big favor by sharply reducing the chance of her being crippled or disfigured in a needless traffic accident. All that is needed is for girls to make it clear to their dates that bad driving doesn't impress them as a social asset, nor does it add to their enjoyment of any occasion. If girls put bad driving in the same class with unkempt appearance, bad manners, clum- sy dancing or cheating at games, most boys will quickly get the idea. Here is a short check-list to rate your date as a driver: 1. Does he keep his car in safe condition — or does he think it's more important to buy a flashy ornament than replace a broken tail light? 2. Is he really a skilled and confident driver — or is he a half-trained one, apt to panic in an emergency? 3. Does he keep his eyes on the road and his hands on the wheel — or does he let the car drive it- self part of the time? 4. Does he drive at a sensible speed — or does he seem to think that the higher the speed, the higher his social standing? 5. Does he obey the rules of the road — or has he an unorthodox (and dangerous) code of his own? 6. Does he avoid mixing drink- ing and driving — or does he think that alcohol makes him an even better man at the wheel? 7. Is he courteous and self- controlled — or does he drive with a chip on his fender? 8. Does he leave a margin for safety — or is he constantly crowding his luck? 9. Does he treat a car as a convenient and pleasant means of going places -- or does he regard it as a toy for playing thrill games? 10. Do you feel relaxed and secure when you ride with him — or are you nervous, as if you were riding a skittish horse on an icy freeway? If any of the boys you date fail to rate well on this test, try a little persuasion. If that fails, let them try elsewhere for a date. P. S. to the boys: If this could happen to you, why not beat the girls (and your rivals) to the punch with a quick course in self-improvement?
