The event gets underway at 2:30 with the always popular broomball game between the students and to aching staff. Over the years this game has been very interesting. This may be the only opportunity during the school term when a student has any chance of gaining the upper hand in a battle with staff members. We well remember last year's game when the arena was filled with students and both sides used tactics that could be called slightly unethical in an attempt to get ahead on the scoreboard. If we remember correctly there were several versions of the final score. We feel South Huron in recent years has had an excellent relationship between staff and students and the broomball game is an indication of the good spirit prevailing. Many of the events that proved popular last year will be repeated and a few games are being added. A marathon basketball game to last at least 24 hours is on tap. Last year's game provided scores of well over one thousand points by both clubs. Last year, some students actually fell asleep while sitting in the stands watching the game or waiting for their turn to participate. Student council president Burton Moon and his staff have come up with a possible cure for sleepiness. A series of five horror movies are being presented right through the night. A dance is also being planned for the old gym Friday night with music supplied by the White Rabbit while basketball is played in the new gymtorium. Saturday's program will again include the popular snow shoe and snowmobile races along with judging of the many snow sculptures that are expected to be erected if the weatherman continues his fine winterish efforts. While talking about the broomball game both teams have not been backward in coming forward in making predictions as to the outcome of the game. A spokesman for the grade 13 team said, "we don't see any problem in beating the teachers. It should be no contest. The score could be 100-1. When told of this remark by the opposition J. L. "Punch" Wooden, general manager and playing coach of the staff team said, "In the 15 years the game has been played I have never known the teachers to lose a game. This year should be no exception." Wooden went on to say, "Our team is now observing a strict training schedule and we should be in excellent shape." The winner of the grudge battle will win the Andy Dixon Memorial trophy. Immediately after the broomball game, the scene switches back to the school with two basketball games and a wrestling meet between South Huron and Listowel. Breakfast will be served at the school Saturday morning starting about 8:30 with most school buses arriving at ten o'clock with students. Snowmobile and toboggan races will round out the morning program. One of the afternoon features will be a powder puff football game with two girls' teams from the school participating. Members of the boys grid clubs will handle the coaching duties. Student president Burton Moon is attempting to obtain an eight-foot balloon to be used in a proposed mass soccer game. Later Saturday afternoon, hungry students will have a chance to fill their appetites during the annual pancake eating contest. Saturday night at 7:30 the movie Bonnie and Clyde will be shown and there is a possibility this will be repeated Sunday evening. Last year we stayed at the school most of the time throughout the 24-hour marathon and expect to do a repeat performance this year and hope to be able to stay awake without the help of the horror flickers. Parents are more than welcome to drop in at anytime to enjoy a winter weekend with the students and staff. Invasion, beware The entire town of Exeter will be invaded Saturday. Before anyone is alarmed the invaders are friendly. They are members of all-star teams of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. The youngsters will be selling buttons saying, "I am an Exeter hockey booster." The buttons sell for one dollar and entitle the wearer admission to the annual Minor Hockey Day scheduled for Saturday, January 30. About eleven hours of hockey action is available for the small fee of one dollar and spectators may come and go as they wish anytime during the afternoon and evening. We will have more on the schedule for the day next week. Let's have the welcome mat out for the youngsters when they arrive with their buttons, Saturday.
