To be able to look at old friends, classmates and teachers; to be able to remember the good times and the bad times. Each student played a role in making this happen, Each student got a thrill out of making the past, present and future all in one through the magic of pictures and lines of identification. BUT!! this is all gone! The students don't give a darn about yesterday. Nobody seems to want a yearbook anymore. Sure, they're willing to give criticism about the management of a yearbook. They however are not willing to give a hand in producing a finished product. On a survey recently taken by the yearbook we ran across some of the following opinions, 1. "I thought this yearbook was all color?Well, now we are sad to say that the only color we had in the yearbook was the brown cover and the lines in the front." At $250 a color page we can't please everybody. If you want more color how be everyone give a large donation to the yearbook staff to make this possible. 2. "You should put more work into the yearbook," Man, if you only knew the work that's put into making a yearbook I place a bet on the person who made that statement that he wouldn't of made it if he had put it together. Last year Susan Tuckey, Bob Reed and Mr. Marshall and other members of the yearbook staff worked Saturdays, Sundays (That's day and night) also week nights until six o'clock or later making layouts, classifying pictures; typing, doing proofs and everything else under the sun so that you the masses could have a perfect yearbook. 3. You should've had poems and captions under the pictures. Good idea, but you didn't give us any poems, you didn't give us any class humour. Like for in- stance, Ross Huntley blows spit Was mistaken Dear Sir, Initially; I was loath to respond to the letter published in the last issue of the 'Guardian'. But an accounting should be made to remove any ambiguities or misconceptions that may have been created in the eyes of the students, the teachers and the parents. Without any doubt whatsoever, the writer, to say the least, was 'mistaken' in his observations and assessments of the dance of October 15 at the High School. The vice-president of the Student Council who manned the door most of the night allowed only students, sponsored guests and recent graduates whom he knew into the school. While I was there, two exceptions were made: one boy from Toronto was allowed in with a recent graduate, and friends of a chaperone were permitted to attend the latter part of the dance. After talking with the vice- president and 'Rod', we con- cluded that no one passed the admission desk inebriated. And although there was not anyone who created a scene and no one was escorted out of the dance, the reader must remember that anyone eighteen years of age may drink, and he may even drink to excess, but until he becomes disorderly, nothing can be done, However, to the best of my knowledge, no one was drunk, and no damage was done! Over recent years, the chaperones can attest that empty bottles have become part of the `dance scene', Only one bottle was found that night, and the girl who emptied it and dropped it into the trash can was 'caught in the act'. I have been a chaperone at dances here at South Huron for the past seven years, and as Student Council Advisor for the last four, I have been to most dances. I have seen students who were drunk, fighting and even arrested; I have been involved in minor brawls with non-students, and I have become a very good judge of conduct at school dan- ces. This dance, like most others, had the potential for trouble, but I can say, with no exaggeration, that this dance was one of the best — again as far as behaviour is concerned (I will not attempt to bubbles in math or Stephen Orenchuk picks his nose in Science. We sure aren't going to do it for you. If you want class humour in the yearbook then give it to one of the members of the yearbook staff and we'll do what can be done. Otherwise, suffer, 'baby'. 4. How come you got names and pictures mixed up? How come there was so many individual pictures missing? Well you see it's like this. The pictures are numbered, put in a brown folder, they are sent along with the dummy copy which have spaces numbered to where the pictures go. This is all the publishing company in Winipeg has to go by. So its not our fault the picture and names get mixed up. We proof read everything before sending it in. Why were so many pictures missing? Well that could be because they just weren't there to get their graduation pictures taken, or else the pictures were lost in shipping, or misplaced in the yearbook office. Thelatteris unlikely for we keep a close eye on everything. Here are some interesting facts that may surprise you. 1. The yearbook is presently $2,000 in the hole due to lack of sales. 2, The yearbook has to sell over half of school population or close up shop. So, if you want a yearbook how about giving some of your priceless time in helping us out on some of the problems that are left in out laps. You can do this by buying a yearbook. I am quite certain you could scrape up $4.00 for a yearbook. So don'tdelaybuy one today or suffer the con- sequences. I can see it all now, students banging on the yearbook door asking for a yearbook. But because of lack of sales we were forced to close down. Then, as old men and women sitting in their creaky old rocking chairs, saying over and over again, "Boy, why didn't I buy a yearbook and give more interest Messy bunch for lunch By JOHN BLACKWELL Since all of my lunch periods are on the second lunch hour, I rarely "enjoy the privilege" of eating during the early lunch period. The other day, however, proved to be an exception. I had heard rumours of how crowded the first lunch was compared to the second, so I decided to wait until the ravenous onslaught had diminished. When I arrived, everything was relatively quiet and only a small number of people remained. However, the cafeteria looked as though it had been the site of a recent "See who can make the biggest mess contest." -• — One whole row of tables was covered with discarded paper wrappers, mucky plates and apparent indifference. I might also add that the floor was generously decorated with a. copious amount of similar matter. To say the least, felt thoroughly disgusted!! But don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say. I'm not picking on this group, specifically, as being the sole culprit. That would be totally unjust. I'm not even insinuating that a large number of people is (really seriously) to blame. I am only using this in- cident as an example of many, which can be observed without too much difficulty, anywhere. The whole situation seems, to me, to be reeking with hypocrisy. On the one hand, we are crying out against, pollution, holding high the ecological banner of life and happiness against the in- difference of greedy industry and inert politicians. We see our- selves as crusaders against the incredible stupidity and im- practicality of others. We look with horror upon any industrial complex which pollutes our environment in all manner of ways! However, let us for dnce in our lives look at our other side, the part of ourselves which we choose to ignore. It's not an easy task but, somehow, most of us manage to hide from the reality that each of us, to some degree or another, pollutes the atmosphere. True, much of this is, as yet, unavoidable, but we all bear the NDP candidate visited school By ROSS HUNTLEY During the time before the election we had two candidates at the school, Mr. MacNaughton and Paul Carroll, Unfortunately Paul Carroll's visit came too late for the last issue of the Guardian before the election, but in all fairness it is necessary to give him equal time in the paper though it's too late to do him any good. Paul Carroll is a younger man than Charlie IVIacNatighton and is certainly deserving of more Votes than he received. Mr. Carroll seemed to give better answers to our questions than Mr. MacNaughton. Some of the answers that Mr, Carroll gave dealt with car insurance, Americanization and ownership of industry, redistributing our taxes and the misconception that the NDP is 0 communist patty. In my opinion Paul Carroll would have won on the basis of his campaign in another riding, but unfortunately for him Huron County is solidly conservative. responsibility of reducing this contamination to a minimum. In my mind, anyone who pollutes excessively or fails to dispose of pollutants in the safest possible way is a criminal and should be accordingly punished, because he represents a threat to the per- petuation of the human species. We may have to suffer a hit if we expect mankind to exist in the future. The price of giving up a few of our many luxuries may seem great, now, but isn't the goal worth it?! I came across a very apt quotation, not too long ago . . "we have raised the standard of living, but in doing so, lowered the quality of living." Well, people, it looks as though we are going to have to take some weight off of the "standard" side of the scale of life and put some more weight on the "quality" side if we intend a brighter tomorrow or any tomorrow at all, for that matter, I suppose by now you likely think that I have wandered completely away from where I started . , but if you think about it, you will find that I really haven't. One might say that our school represents one of the many miniature worlds existing within the one great realm of Mother Earth. It is our respon- sibility to make our own part of this world, small though it may be as clean and happy as we can for others, as well as ourselves. Leaving discarded paper and dirty dishes on the tables in the cafeteria, throwing garbage down in the hallways, failing to walk those few extra steps to throw debris into a proper refuse container, depositing gum- wrappers along sidewalks tete., etc., you know the rest), sure won't accomplish this goal. Doing these things only makes life miserable for innocent people Who, in more ways than one, find themselves victims of our stupidity and indifference. It's about time we matured enough to realize the problem is steadily becoming a matter of life and death (even though it may October 28, 19711 Page 15 Hallowe'en today or yesterday By DEBBIg Remember kids crowding the streets Hearingthem discuss tricks or treats?

Certainly there are areas that should be criticized (and probably will be by me as well as others), but it is unfortunate that the writer over-looked these weaknesses to centre on issues that, for the moment, are beyond censure. I trust that all those concerned will not condemn the Student Council for its handling of the dances because every effort is being made to solve the par- ticular problems and make the dances more enjoyable for students and chaperones. Bruce Shaw, S.C. Advisor Need a ball Dear Sir: It seems to me that there are a few things happening in this school which should be remedied, I am writing with specific reference to the goings on in the Phys. Ed. department. I am not writing this as an outsider but as an avid par- ticipant, I do not expect new uniforms for a first year team like last year's rugger team or the soccer team this year, but we could have at least expected a rugger ball. The Phys. Ed. department will argue that these were just new teams and all the money was already allocated to the other teams that have been going for years and are sure of remaining in operation. Like football and wrestling? I would estimate that 75 percent of the money for teams goes to these two sports, every A year, How about the track team? This is a team that has been in this school for years and will probably stay for a long time. Where arc their uniforms and equipment? They use the same old battered sweatsuits from year to year and have to compete against teams that, look like teams, What a massive blow to the ego and team spirit to go out and compete in your Phys, Ed, equipment. The other teams must laugh inside. How, can teams be expected to win if they start off with an inferiority complex. The right equipment is necessary to play any game competently, How about a rugger ball this year? Ken Lee in it so that I could look back on some of the old schools days and laugh and cry and say, 'those were the good old days, by golly gee! It's up to you! You hold the future in your hands.
