Letter to to the Editor
Too big for britches
BY ROBERT DOERR
Recently I had the privilege of being forcibly escorted to the
Main office, physically guided to a chair and then called every
deflamatory name I had ever heard and then some new ones, Why?
Because I had failed to halt in the hail and stand at attention
when the National Anthem was being played,
I call this a privilege because it opened my eyes to a few things I
had seldom thought about. I feel that to get the records straight it is my
duty to say that just because a person doesn't stand up for "0 Canada"
or tip his hat every time he passes a Canadian flag he is not necessarily a
Communist, anarchist or some similar threat to our nation's security.
What is Canada? To me it is more than a piece of organized sound
or a scrap of silk. To me it means the people that live within these
borders. I feel that by respecting these peoples' opinions one respects
Canada and is therefore a true patriot.
I feel it is very important for Canadians to realize that the flag
and the National Anthem are only symbols of Canada.
I am not saying that we should abolish these symbols, That
would be just as bigoted as being a symbol worshipper. Symbols are a
means whereby people that feel a need to show their patriotism can do
so, Therefore they do have some value.
I do not see, however, where there is any patriotism in making
someone else who does not feel this need to do so.
Canada has always been known as a peace loving country that
condones freedom of speech and action as long as it doesn't physically
hurt anyone else.
This is the Canada that I love and respect. I see nothing Canadian
about trying to force people into conforming with your ideas. That is
the type of thinking that is behind the Klu Klux Klan and other
rightest organizations of our southern neighbours and that is the sort
of thinking that can start similar organizations in Canada.
Trip to north country
a learning experience
present attitude, But then you get
the sad sack line "You can
complain, but you haven't
worked as hard as we have. We
deserve all the luxuries that are
hidden from you."
So what! They fail to realize
that everybody else is working
just as hard to get there as they
did.
If there is going to be a lounge it
should be for the whole
student body, instead of for the
minority who will only use it for
one school year. Who knows?
Maybe if they get their wishes
granted for everything, they'll
turn around and demand tax free
incomes for coming to school.
Why? So that we can enjoy
their most humble presence.
Then enjoy the union, then the
board of "Trustees" (IRONY)
where they can control
everybody's body and soul.
Well, I suppose you could say
this is all part of our education, so
that when you're out in the world
you will know how to be a good
SNOB or a rotten SNOB! Who
knows, maybe these bright young
men and women will be our future
communist leaders, God only
knows that they are being well
trained for it at the moment.
Does this seem far fetched,
over-exaggerated, the result of a
vivid imagination? Well, it does if
you are presently occupying a
grade 13 desk.
But! ask the rest of the student
body how they look at the mighty
grade 13's and see if it's far
fetched or over-exaggerated, For
that'sthe way the other senior and
junior students feel about it
presently. The 13's are just too
big for their britches.

Blessed year of rest
enjoyed by grade 13
Although once a person gets over
the thought of no ground under
your feet-except the ground 50 ft.
down-it was quite a marvellous
feeling.
This trip was truly a learning
'experience. We found we had to
get along with each other and
everyone had to do his share of
the work. There was a short
feeling of freedom-to be near
nature at its best!
combination of colored rocks,
beautiful blue sky, forests and
blue water kept us all breathless
and thankful that the weather so
far had been good.
A cold wind sprang up just
before lunch and threatening
clouds blew over us. We stopped
for lunch along the beach and
discovered we no longer had to
follow the beach. We climbed an
eighty degree angle cliff and
walked along the top of the
escarpment over rocks, through
fallen leaves and over dead trees.
Then along came the rain!
We kept hiking in the rain for
an hour and a half until we came
to a beautiful area which was
almost a full plain of moss. We
set up camp and ate. Everyone
then assembled at. a campfire
for a sing-song and Mr. Mills
talked to us about Outers, how it
was helping us as campers and
developing our personalities
through getting to know others
and ourselves.
Most of the groups were
completely tired out so we hit our
sleeeping bags at 8:30 and had a
restful sleep till 7 a,m. We made
Sunday breakfast and broke
camp. Only five miles remained
so we could go at our own speed.
A few miles out of Lion's 1-lead we
encountered the familial• face of
Vince Elliott who provided us
with a refreshing drink and a
chance to rest and talk.
At noon we were within sight of
Lion's Head when we decided to
take time for lunch on the beach.
Never 'did I think I would be
happy to see a school bus, but
there it was - a sign of
civilization! With our backs
relieved of our packs we rode to
the site where we would be ab-
siling.
This is walking down the side of
a cliff with the aid of a rope. It
was quite a frightful experience!
By Ross Huntley
During everyone's educational
career there was always the
phenomenon known as the clique,
In our fathers' time the clique
phenomenon was dominated by
the football players and many
people will probably remember
the status that accompanied
many of the players of our old
teams.
The world changes though, and
so does the social status. In this
article I hope to enlighten all the
people who have been away from
this school for years and do not
realize the change, or are new to
the school and wish to establish
themselves.
The most active social power in
grade 13 is the "Zurich - Dash-
wood Cold War," People in both
Zurich and Dashwood are
sportsmen and are usually found
playing hockey, baseball, football
or golf on their day off,
There is keen competition
between hockey and baseball
teams and when there is not a
game in progress you will find
many of South Huron's students
"licking Browns" at a nearby
hotel, discussing how much the
other team cheated to win or
perhaps sitting in school ex-
changing sharp social comments,
To belong to this group it is
necessary to be a senior football
player, a member of good
standing in the Conservative
Party or a great lover of beer. Of
course any senior student within
three miles of either town has all
of these qualifications
A more recently developed
clique in the school consists of a
small group of hard core in-
tellectuals known as the Guar-
dian Staff. This.group is one of the
most revolutionary groups in the
school but contrary to popular
opinion we are not oul to burn,the
cafeteria or organize a com-
munist party within the school.
When the Guardian staff is not
writing or at classes you may find
them at the local church playing
a pipe organ, at home playing
their harpsichord, or down at the
beer store, stocking up for a
sociable evening with friends.
Occasionally, when the group
has these socials, we will discuss
the care and cleaning of pipes or
the average IQ of the senior
football team which we estimate
to be approximately half of the
intelligence of a rugger player.
There are other cliques which
would take too long to tell about
but I feel I have covered the most
interesting points about the
status quo even though I have left
out everything about the
women. One morning somebody
will probably find "Male
Chauvensit" written all over his
locker.

A couple of weeks ago the
"Outers" had a meeting and
decided that a weekend spent on
the Bruce Trail would be a
thrilling experience. We felt a
twenty mile hike would be almost
long enough! So, Mr. Mills
suggested that we would start at
Dyers Bay and end at Lion's
Head,
On Friday, the 29th we started
our three hour drive for Dyers
Bay. We arrived there at 4:30
p,m., said farewell to our bus
driver and started our long hike.
We hiked to a suitable campsite,
set up camp, ate supper, cleaned
up and sat around our campfires
till 10 o'clock.
Then, good old Mr. Mills
=proposed that we break camp and
have a moonlite hike! There were
objections from various people
but we talked them into coming
and having a new experience, We
hiked till midnight through
beautiful, rugged countryside.
The almost full moon cast a light
as bright as day. We set up a rude
camp near the Georgian, Bay
beach and had a well deserved
sleep.
We arose to a beautiful
Saturday morning and the
majority of us made our cooking
fire down on the very rocky beach
where the unpolluted, cold water
and dry wood were easily ac-
cessible.
The trail led us on a six mile
walk along the treacherous,ankle-
breaking beach. There was no
sand whatsoever - all stones and
sedimentary rock. The rocks
were of all colors-blue, red and
brownshale, and green, light
blue, beige and white stones. The
Dear Sir:
It seems the grade 13's are the
only ones of any social value in
schools anymore. Whatever
happened to "We the school
body"? All you have hitting your
ears anymore is "We the 13's this
year and we the 13's that."
If they are not asking for a
grade 13 lounge, they are asking
for a new stereo system. It's
getting just a little sickening
because everytime you turn
around they are crowded around
Mr. Wooden or Mr. Saunders
asking for a Pow Wow so they can
demand some new object strictly
for the benefit of the 13's only.
If that doesn't work, they'll
send around a petition and if that
doesn't work you'll notice them
standing out in the hall com-
plaining and sulking and running
down the other senior and junior
students,
I asked one fearless 13 student
if be knew what was going on in
other grades and he replied, "I
couldn't tell you what is hap-
pening out side of my own cir-
cle". As if to say, "We are the
supreme class." (You can take
CLASS both wayst and
everybody under them are mere
peasants.
I believe the 13's have
developed into nothing more than
a bunch of spoiled SNOBS. There
is no other word to describe their
gr. 10 LiecauSe they are no longer
in gr. 9...,etcetera. But this
doesn't give anyone the right to
point everyone else in that
structure with the same brush.
Luxuries...ah, what luxuries?
We don't need to bring
notes.,,neither do gr. 12's.
Hurray? We can take our books
into the library...but who wants
to? Vice can get into the cafeteria
at any time, whereas most
students cannot. Of course, we
don't get regular lunch hours,
most students do, which could
provide some reason for this
'luxury'.
I think most gr. 13 students
have no desire to go as deep into
the school system as 'board of
Trustees'. School is only a means
to an end...any end, as long as
it's away from school.
The gr. 13 student exemplified
by this article is, in my opinion, a
very rare beast. I think most
people who see gr. 13 as over-
bearing snobs have put up a
facade for the gr. 13's that is quite Burning Rectal Itch
Relieved In Minutes
unrealistic, We are all people,
and that makes us completely
approachable If you don't believe
me, try one.

The Odds 'N Ends
By Sue McCaffrey
Grade 13! Ah yes, that blessed
year of rest, relaxation and
riotous living. And why not?
Haven't we slaved to get here?
We deserve all our privileges.
According to the letter in
today's Guardian the above
remarks are typical of any and
all grade 13 students. Unfor-
tunately, grade 13 is not quite a
bed of roses. We're working
harder this year than ever before
- a lot harder. And doing about
half as much complaining as
previous years!
I think that there are very few
students in 13 with the attitude
expressed in that letter. I
presume he is talking about 'our'
school, not some dream haven
miles from here, Sure, we asked
for a lounge - some of us - but it
was in the same way a little boy
asks for a pony: hopeful, but in no
way expectant. I don't recall the
appellation 'Grade 13' being
tacked on the front of it, either.
A new stereo system? Who
asked for a new stereo system?
I'd love one - but where? When?
how? I didn't even know we had
an old stereo system.
I also didn't know, and haven't
seen, gr, 13 students crowded
around Mr. Wooden or Mr.
Saunders. I'm afraid they're just
not the kind of men I would want
to crowd around. Most people
would tend to sulk as a result of
that action.
It's no surprise to me that gr.
13's don't know what's happening
in other grades. We don't even
know what's happening in our
grade. And how many people in
other grades know what's
happening in gr. 13? if you do,
please write a letter and let us in
On it.)
'Snob' is such a strange word.
Every grade social class, what
have you, has its snobs. There
are snobs in grade nine, because
they feel they are better than
public school students; snobs in
Exclusive Healing substance
Relieves Pain As It
Shrinks Hemorrhoids.
If you want satisfactory relief from
'Itching Piles'—here's good news.
A renowned research laboratory has
found a unique healing substance
that promptly relieves the burning
itch and pain—actually shrinks
hemorrhoids. This substance has
been shown to produce a most effec-
tive rate of healing. Its germ-killing
properties also help prevent
infection.
In case after case "very striking
improvement" was noted, even
among cases of long standing. And
this improvement was maintained
over a period of months!
This was accomplished by a new
healing substance
which quickly helps heal injured
cells and stimulate, growth of new
tissue. Now Rio-Dyne is offered in
ointment and suppository form
salted Preparation "II". Ask fqr it'
at all drug stores—satisfaction or
money refunded.
