Remember, no one is perfect and you can't complain about someone that is not perfect either! Dave R. Smith plus 85 other sUpporters This does not apply to all those seniors but this is a reply to the editorial and is written to the editor. D.R.S. (I might also add that last week's editorial displayed no more maturity than that with which the editor credits our juniors.) However, getting back to the "Gossip Column", I am not alone in my feelings that it is the most ridiculous thing that has ever been printed in the Guardian and I find it personally disturbing to have people from inside and .out- side the school, reading this kind of nonsense in a effort to find out what is going on at South Huron. I would like to suggest that the "Gossip Column" be abandoned as a waste of time and sub- stituted with something that will serve more purpose than just fill- ing space.

CHEERING IN A LOSING CAUSE—Despite the loss being suffered by their junior girls basketball team, Thursday, these South Huron cheerleaders showed plenty of enthusiasm.

T-A photo Dear Editor: I would like to speak out on all of last week's Guardian but I have read other letters to the editor that express my views quite adequately, so I will direct this letter to the person responsi- ble for the "Gossip Column." I have, in the past, been a member of the Guardian staff, and am fully aware of the problems involved in putting together enough material for the paper. However, I would rather see a few worthwhile articles than half a page filled with pure garbage. In all my years of reading the Guardian, I have never seen the paper stoop so low. Last week, the editorial was concerned with the childishness of our "junior" students. However, if the "Gossip Column" is any indication of what our senior students can turn out, I wonder what category the editor would place us under.

II I If As a member of the Guardian Staff I must protest that such a personal bias be allowed in the paper. The Guardian exists, not to criticize and anger the students, but to inform them. It is the editor's basic freedom to write on subjects she chooses, but personal vendettas are against all moral codes. I speak in defense of the Grade nine students. There are few Seniors who do not remember their junior year at South Huron — the excitement and fun we had — the foolish antics such as stacking lockers, making paper airplanes, flipping rubber bands. It is not that far behind us. In fact, it might still be a part of us. It is in fact part of Grade Nine. There is no way that these Junior must be expected to be models of perfect humanity, They seem to me to be the nor- mal excited Grade Niners of every school year. We Seniors of today did the same things that the Juniors of 1974-75 are doing now. If any of you have forgotten, I feel terribly sorry for you. You have lost a most im- portant part of growing up, Is it possible there are some Seniors who feel a hostility towards the Juniors because they no longer feel free to enjoy themselves? I feel for those also. I can't believe I have been so blind that I haven't seen these "crude, rude and incorrigible people" in our halls. Nor can I believe the Seniors of our school are so intolerant of these new young people in our midst. I have great faith in our Juniors — I was one myself not too long ago. And I would suggest our editor take a good long look at herself, her ideals are tar- nished! Dave Snider PERSONAL BIAS Dear Editor, In the Guardian of October 10 was an editorial entitled "Cold, Hard Facts." Several mis- understandings developed as a result of this. They must now be set straight. The editorial was the view of one person only, and not the en- tire Senior Class, nor the Guar- dian Staff for that matter. Few, if any Senior students agreed with this article. Most Juniors were justifiably upset. Here were a group of students who had every reason to be proud of being a part of South Huron High School. Their pride was suddenly shattered as our il- lustrious editor presented the "cold, hard facts, I, and countless others can't seem to find where our editor got these facts from. Dear Editor, We would like to express our dissatisfaction, with Guardian editorial of October W. We do not deny the editor the right to say what she feels. We do not argue that point. We do, however, argue that a consensus on the feelings ex- pressed in the editorial was lacking. Of all the seniors I questioned, not one would con- clude that there was a consensus of opinion. They themselves stated examples of "immature" activities during their own junior years. Immature activities are a natural part of one's first year in high school. We ourselves were looking forward to entering our first year at South Huron, A whole new experience was before us. And now we have tremendous pride for all that South Huron stands for. But perhaps all was an illusion. The editorial of October 10 seems to suggest this. How could anyone say such absurd things? I had held the seniors in the highest esteem. Now we begin to wonder' The editorial remarks about the ignorance of the grade nine students. But the students were really pre-judged. We ourselves do not even know the editor. As two grade nine students we are disappointed and dishear- tened that such immature things could be said in an editorial. Sincerely yours, Terry Heywood Mary Easton LACK CONSENSUS We, as some of the juniors have been referred to as many things before but your "immature, unsophisticated children" really tops it! Don't you think its high time some of the seniors did a little growing up too?! We really couldn't have written our opinion without the help of some of the seniors. Even though they didn't do the talking their actions told a lot. Riding down banisters, tripping in the halls, and pushing chicks into guy's washrooms, really sets a good example wouldn't you say? There are some juniors that do some pretty stupid things, but then think back 3 or 4 years. If you can remember you were in grade 9 too! Please tell us in your way of speaking what does "sophistication" mean? If you were expecting grade 9's to be perfect coming into South Huron, I'm afraid you are out of However, we feel it beneath the dignity of our office to argue anymore against such obvious lies and misconceptions. Anyone wishing to know the facts of the job of prefect has only to ask a prefect. Surely we don't detect a note of bitterness that our beloved Guardian staff aren't members of this illustrious and hard working body? How could we even think such a thing! Congratulations however! Your staff has the amazing ability to stir up trouble where no problem exists. And so we hope to live from now on - happily ever after. Sincerely, The S.H.D.H.S, Student Council Once upon a time there was a school called South Huron. Now at South Huron, there was a population of 1,000 students who got together and decided they would create a Student Council. It was so important that even the "immature" grade nines were allowed to help construct it. Someone said, "let's have a yearbook." Then it was men- tioned that we should have a school newspaper. So they did. "What will we call our paper?" "The Guardian", was the reply, "because this paper is going to be unique, It will be fair, unbiased and open to whatever the students like and enjoy. Most of all, however, it is to be our newspaper. We will run it, we, the students, shall read it and it will reflect "our" thoughts and "our" feelings. And so it was . . for a while. It was then decided that the student council would have the duty of keeping the students happy and orderly. The S,C, chose prefects to keep order at "dances," they doled out money to the Yearbook, Guardian and other subordinate organizations, and the students were pleased. But the Guardian changed and now the students are not pleased. We the student council, believe it is time someone spoke in defence of the students instead,of constantly slandering, criticizing and attacking them. For example, isn't it about time we corrected some cold hard "misconceptions" about some of our junior students? The Guardian has recently printed articles which have been derogatory and even slanderous to its readers. We realize that it is the privilege of the press to print what they feel is the truth. (Only Living in era of consumer DASHWOOD Phone 237-3381 or 237-3422 in editorials of course.) We entirely respect the opinions of the editor, although we do not agree with them. It is our belief that all biased, and opinionated articles should be kept in the editorials, not to be confused with real fact. The word Guardian was in- tended to mean just that - guardian of student rights. It seems that the role has changed slightly in the translation. Now "Guardian" seems to mean guardian of pettiness and triviality. Let us then look at the word "maturity." It seems simple enough yet it is very difficult to understand. Let's establish what it is not. I am sure most of us would consider name calling a fault of our childhood. Surely no one who was "mature" would resort to calling anyone such words as "crude," "childish", "rude" or "mannerless"? Nor would anyone with any maturity direct such vulgarities to a whole group of people - exceeding three hundred. That would be like condemning all teachers because you don't like the books some read. Clearly, anyone who insists upon speaking for others without their consent or even their opinions could not possibly be "mature," So- then, what exactly is maturity? No one seems to know. Could it be that our beloved Guardian has made a mistake? In that case, you "immature" junior students take heart. Maybe you're not as bad as you've been made out to be. To those "elite" few to whom this article is directed, do not despair. Perhaps one day you too will grow up! While we are on the subject of chastising our School paper, it would be appropriate if we, as owners, commented on their other bunglings such as the perfect question, the gossip column and their indiscriminate cirticism of all school affairs. REDI-MIX CONCRETE Washed Sand & Stone (ALSO FORM WORK) McCann Const. Ltd. BY GREG LOVE As you probably already know, we are living in the era of the consumer. Almost everyone is affected by "consumermania," a very contagious disease. The symptoms often include mad rushes to buy a short- supplied product, higher prices, and frequently empty wallets and purses. As a result to this dilemma, inflation is climbing at a two digit rate. Many of us just scratch our heads and wonder where it will all end. One way to increase the supply of many articles is the recycling of our garbage. A group of con- cerned students at South Huron are now studying the feasibility of recycling in our area, Our group executive consists of Chris Daniels, Tony Kyle, and Greg Love. Olibe- the grolip is financially established,. the hope is to organize a regular paper pick-up route and eventually a glass pick- up. As opposed to urban dwellers, rural residents separate their garbage by habit. The citizens of this area have terrific par- ticipants in worth-while causes. Club members hope this project will be no exception. An executive member suggests we should be planning for the needs of our children and grand children now! Most of all, think ECO, (Ecological Cleanup Organization). Dance group disinterested BLATANT DISPLAY Ms. Hillman's editorial com- ments on the students who have descended on South Huron this year in the Guardian of October 10 is a blatant display of irresponsible journalism. The problem with Ms. Hillman's editorial is that it is too much of generalization. She has categorized too many people (over 300) too liberally. I am sure that if Ms. Hillman were to honestly look back at her first year in high school she will recall that it was not all that different from that which she calls "crude". I think a little consideration should be given to the situation these people (yes PEOPLE) are forced into. Obviously this is so different from public school. After 8 to 9 years in the elementary school system the first year of high school is bound to be confusing, These students are hyper, this is new for them, they'll cool down in time. Just like everyone else did or tried. I would hate to think' what would happen if someone wrote an editorial on the maturity of some senior students. I would agree there is a problem indicated but that problem is not unique to this year's incoming classes. It merely points up the gross inadequacies of the school's orientation programme and the lack of school spirit. • J, Beck Friday, October 4, the S.H.D.H.S. Student Council sponsored a dance featuring Southcote. There was not a very large crowd at the dance. Those who chose to do something else, rather than go to the dance made a wise choice. Southcote is not the calibre of band one usually finds at a South Huron dance. They are the calibre of band that might do well in a cheap bar. If a band is to put out an en- joyable sound they must be "into" their music. That is, they must understand and enjoy what they are doing. Southcote seemed quite disinterested in playing in Exeter and this was reflected in the quality of their performance. The group was very successful in their attempt to destroy the Ronnie Hawkin's classic "Who do you lOve?", They missed the whole feeling of the song. Perhaps they were trying to be artistic and modernize the song, If this is the case their artistic ability rates zero. The band was not completely useless however. They did a good job of "Jambalia" and their original tunes mine over well. All in all, listening to Southcote is not a bad way to spend the time of what might be an otherwise boring night. Uncalled for Dear Editor, As an interested senior student I feel your attack on the junior grades was totally uncalled for. After reading your editorial I was very disheartened to think that anyone would deliberately go out of their way to hurt part of our school community. You said that you were going to give us the "Cold Hard Facts." You have done nothing but give us generalities of your personal experiences. You have also had the nerve to categorize us senior students as unwilling to associate with the juniors, I do not agree with your point of view. I believe that the senior students accept the junior students as a part of our student body. In the future dear editor please remember: "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." St, Matthew 7: 1-2 Who do you think yOu are?
