From the appearance of the program it should be as good, if not better than last year's event, Some new attractions have been added providing even more entertainment. The student council is selling tickets for the low price of $2,00. This ticket will admit a student into the weekend's festivities. The fun ,starts Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. when students and faculty march over to the Exeter arena to watch the ever-victorious Grade 13 students whip the pants off (figuratively speaking of course!!) the poor teachers in the traditional and hilarious game of broomball. The only good thing to be said in defence of the teachers' team is their determination. No matter how soundly they are defeated, they keep coming back for more. The price of witnessing another exciting student victory over the establishment is the minimal fee of 10c or possession of a ticket. Later Friday night the marathon basketball game begins at 7:00 and will continue until Saturday night or when they run out of energetic basketball fanatics, Also on Friday night, at 9:30 is the dance with the music provided by the White Rabbit. At midnight the choosing of the Snow King and Queen for this year will take place. Another feature Friday night, something new for this year's carnival is the opening of a coffee house which remains in operation during the dance. Then at 1:00 a.m. is the Horrorama for those people possessing nerves of steel. The evening features such movies as Eye of the Cat, Psycho, Son of Frankenstein, Dracula and the Incredible Shrinking Man, which will continue until 9:00 Saturday morning. After the movies end, breakfast will be served in the cafeteria for 50c, With the arrival of the buses at 10:00 the day gets Students learn to understand the towcums' regarding every aspect of governmental organization and operation — the very things you have to delve into municipal acts to find, at the age of forty. How many people say, 'Boy, I wish I had stayed in school!' Too many!! It is indeed unfortunate, but education does not necessarily mean school. Education consists of experience. Experiencing school is just a small part of it. There are a great number of intelligent men and women who never saw the inside of secondary school. These people are self-made. Surely these people understand the time to let eighteen year olds vote has arrived. I am sure eighteen year olds, if given the privilege to vote will realize it as such. Before you laugh, Stop and think. Just how responsible are you? Do you attend nominations; do you vote; do you take an active part in your community, not only in politics? What did you do for your hometown in 1970? What will you do in 1971? DO YOU CARE? underway with the snowmobile races. The entry fee for this event is Only $1.00 enabling the students to test their skill and speed of their machines. At the conclusion of this, are the toboggan races for those students who prefer this more sedate form of locomotion. At 12:00 there is a half hour of musical entertainment provided by the Grand Romulus in the old gym. Following this will be lunch for 50c or a ticket. After dinner, at 2:00 the boys will get, a chance to really watch the girls in action as they fight for possession of the ball in the powder puff football game. At the game's conclusion the snowshoe and ski contests take place. At 4:00 in the cafeteria the gourmets of South Huron will gather together to sample the great quantities of flapjacks which have been so expertly prepared for them. When the supply or pancakes is eventually exhausted the judging of the snow sculptures will take place. Then at 5:00 the buses will leave the school, Later Saturday evening the marathon basketball game ends and at 7:30 the movie Bonnie and Clyde will be shown. Admission to the movie is 50c. The carnival will end on Sunday when Bonnie and Clyde is again shown Sunday evening at 7:30. It promises to be another great winter carnival this year. The new male By BRUCE SIMPSON A new species has evolved from the beast A challenger to man for supremacy And the battle has yet to be fought But it will be someday With it being won not by clemency Broad, outstanding shoulders A fit and trim body Reveal the true nature Of this brute magnificently Burning, shining eyes, so powerful He has the strength of a team of horses His well-anchored base on a mighty stand Will reflect the poundings of motion Or at least this has been said Quick and swift as a deer In covering the harden path That has been constructed Just for his majesty But, by only his name One can understand this true wonder He is called after beasts of the world Which are seen in the rolling thunder Men have rumoured that God's creation was never as perfect And many, I'm told Are believers Ah, but now to the truth For Freud was so right Sex is the thing, the meaning of life For this male is a sexy brute indeed The metallic phallus steadily emits his sperm Into the uterus of the sky Conceiving a child To be known as Death For by her we will surely die. Smoking? Dear Editors: This in reply to the recent announcement that students will not be allowed to smoke in the schools, or possibly, in future, in the parking lot. I think this is very unfair on the part of the teachers arid is a direct blow against the student body. There are a great number of Students in this school who smoke and they find it very hard to go for long periods of time without a cigarette. Because of this fact, I believe the school should provide a place for the students to smoke even if it is frowned upon by the beard Of health. This board has no right to dictate the lives of the students and tell them if they can smoke or can't smoke, If their parents allow them to smoke, what right does someone else have to say they can't? is this a free country or a dictatorshiP, run by a few people seldom seen? Also, I think it's unfair that the students are asked to refrain from stnoking in the school, while the teachers aren't. Are they superior human beings that they can say one thing and turn around and do the By PRINCIPAL, J. L. WOODEN "An old pine tree preaches wisdom "And a wild bird is crying truth." (Zen) Our school has tried in various subject areas to emphasize environmental and ecological studies. We have tried to develop an attitude toward the environment and towards nature that encourages the preservation and conservation of the natural world. We hope that something of value can be derived from our various outdoor studies, fieldtrips, weekend camps. We believe that the encouragement of man's wise use of the earth is one of the most important contributions that we as a school can make to the general community. Different cultures have had various ways of looking at the environment. The Judaeo-Christian view holds that the earth is God's creation and gift to man. The Bible and the Koran contain many references to the earth as being the good creation of God:. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth . . . and behold it was very good." (Genesis) "Thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which He bath given thee." (Deuteronomy) The Koran speaks of the sea, the mountains, the rivers and says: "If you count God's blessings,. you would never number it!" Other references such as: "Eat and drink of God's ' providing and mischief not in the earth, doing corruption." (Koran), or "hurt not the earth" (Bible), further suggest the view that man has received the great gift of the natural world and should be thankful for it and manage it well. The Hindu and Buddhist view differs in that these religions consider man to be a part of the natural world rather than being lord or master over nature. These religions view man as being part of the unity of nature: "May all living things be happy and at their ease . . . with a boundless mind one should cherish all living beings." (Meta Sutra) "Who sees the separate Lives of all creatures United in Brahman Himself finds Brahman." (Bhagavad-Gita) These Asian religions express a veneration for all of life in its diverse forms. If you prefer to express these approaches to nature from another viewpoint consider the following comments from Julian Huxley's writings: ". . . all nature is a single process. We may properly call it evolution, if we define evolution as a self-operating, self transforming process which in its course generates both greater variety and higher levels of organization . . Man's role is to be the instrument of the evolutionary process on this planet . . . the concept of man as instrument and agent of the evolutionary process . . , will replace the idea of man as Lord of Creation." Huxley later on in the same book suggests that man's most sacred duty is to promote the maximum fulfillment of the evolutionary process on earth. One of the most indispensible Ways of achieving human fulfillment lies in recognizing our oneness with nature, our dependence upon nature and our need for the natural world. Man has a sacred duty to preserve nature riot only for nature's sake in itself, but also for man's own fulfillment. As Huxley says "to exterminate a living species., to desecrate the landscape, to wipe opposite. I always thought this was being a hypocrite. On any given day you can walk by the teachers lounge and find smoke billowing out or go into most teachers officeS or department officeS and find remains of cigarettes, Even the vice-principal smokes. Is this fair? Is this equal rights? Fellow students, are you to let a few people push yoti around. Show the administration that you protest this announcernent and perhaps start a petition and maybe something good will come Of it. An interested student out wild flowers or birds, is to diminish the wonder, the interest, and the beauty of the universe." The point, then, of these brief comments for this year's Inkspot is to suggest that our concern for the environment is based not only on common sense but also upon a very deep religious foundation and upon a very solid biologic and philosophic base. We know that we have ignored the ecologic truths and have "hurt the earth" and have, indeed, done much corruption in the earth. It doesn't matter whether our own religious or philosophic viewpoint is rooted in the Judaeo-Christian heritage, the Islamic heritage, the Hindu-Buddhist culture or evolutionary humanism or whatever, the fact remains that all of these views support the concept that man must do very much better than he has done in managing the total environment. We hope that the experiences at the camps, in the outers, in biology, geography, environmental science, and so on will help shape the attitudes of the people in our school and develop a view of the natural world that will help preserve and enhance this natural world. We hope our influence in the field of conservation and preservation of the environment will spread to the community in which we live and that some of the destructive practices and attitudes will be changed. So far the forces of deterioration are still strong and the forces resisting the deterioration of the natural A former resident of this area and now a secondary school teacher in Bracebridge has been awarded a fellowship by the Australian state of Victoria. Glen Schroeder, a mathematics teacher at the Bracebridge secondary school and a graduate of South Huron District High School is one of 100 educators travelling to Australia next month. Mr. Schroeder will be leaving from Vancouver, January 14 to fly to Mornington, a city south of Melbourne where he will be teaching for the next two years. He is one of four Ontario teachers chosen to participate in the program. Altogether, 14 Canadians were awarded fellowships, 30 went to United Kingdom teachers and 50 to the United States. The purpose of the program is world need to be strengthened. "Who sees his Lord Within every creature Deathlessly dwelling Amidst the mortal That man sees truly . . ." (Bhagvad-Gita) to provide cultural enrichment for teachers and students and to help the rest of the world find out what the world "down under" is really like. For that reason, the teachers and their families are being given a travel allowance in addition to the fellowship. The Schroeder family, that includes Glen's wife Coray and four children, will probably do a great deal of camping out while in Australia. In the past, Mr. Schroeder has travelled extensively in the north country, helping to run weather stations at Cambridge Bay and Fort Churchill. He and his wife, who is also a teacher, spent two years in Antigua, the first island in the leeward chain of the West Indies, where they taught in a foreign aid program under the Canadian International Development Agency. By LINDA SANGSTER • Voting is not a duty, but rather a privilege bestowed upon Canadian citizens by our government. The real duty is to inform oneself of where the polls are, when they are, voting procedures and the candidates. I greatly admire those eligible to vote and anxiously await the day ft when I may join their midst. If our province adopts the lowered voting age policy this shan't be long. Do not criticize the prospective eighteen year old voter. In comparison to the ne generation before him, he should be respected. Eighteen is not too young to vote! Maturity and responsibility do not occur at a certain glorious age (such as twenty-one). Some people never grow up! Look around you, but not too far. Yes, what about you? Today's youth are becoming `informed'. Perhaps this is why we are compelled to attend School until the ripe age of Sixteen years. Governmental systems, federal, provincial and municipal levels, are explicitly covered in courses at both elementary and secondary school levels.
