T. MONTEITH EXETER LTD. 235-2121 "The best in service when you need it most!" There's a Royal Bank desk in every farm kitchen. When it comes to offering specialized financial services to farmers, Roger Dowker, Manager of Exeter's Royal Bank, is as comfortable doing business in your kitchen as he is in his own office. (More often than you'd think, the farm kitchen is the best place to get Roger's banking expertise fully concentrated on helping you achieve a worthwhile project.) What's more—and this is important—Roger Dowker has the full facilities and expertise of our Agricultural and Credit Departments to back him up. In addition to Farmplan Credit & Counselling he can tell you how to protect your farm and family with Farmplan Creditor Life Insurance. We'd like you to give Roger a call, to see just how effectively he can use his experience and judgment to offer you sound advice ... backed up by some pretty sound and sizeable dollars if your growth elan makes agricultural and economic sense. If you'd like to have that talk with Roger Dowker, call him . at 235-2111. And if it makes better sense to have that important first meeting in his office, instead of your kitchen, the coffee's on Roger. 4 ROYAL BAN K serving Ontario serving you • 44P4,447 90b. 5.

The pictures have been put into five categories, sports, clubs, individuals, teachers and miscellaneous. Photographers will be here to take graduation pictures of the grade 12 and 13 students on October 25 and 28. These pictures will be put in the Yearbook, The students getting these pictures taken may decide afterwards whether or not to buy them. We would like to thank Steve Corbett, Doug Ecker, Jerry Latour and Deb Parsons for all the help they are giving with the yearbook.These people are outstanding photographers and are doing a terrific job. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'm being selfish, Does your etiquette say I must be a martyr to your cause in per- secuting me? If that is the case, yes, I will suffer without further complaint and give you the remaining years of my life. But please let me know what is your purpose? least, suffering from extreme paralysis. The present "Guar- dian staff felt that the most important consideration (and its prime focus) should be creating interest, provoking controversy, and stimulating student.attention and response; thus the staff hoped to revitalize "The Guar- dian" and save its life. In all fairness, we must •admit that publication has never been so frequent and student interest so high, Miss Hillman may have aroused the ire of many, but she certainly shocked us out of our complacency. "The Guardian" is perused with greater interest by more students and staff than ever before - an encouraging sign in my estimation, In our complacency we often tend to overlook the obvious, We have one of the best student - oriented schools in the province; this fact became clear to me when I briefly sat in on a Students' Council conference held at U.W.O. attended by representatives of Students' Councils from schools across Ontario. I was shocked by the strict regimentation, the lack of student voice in school affairs, and the dictatorial attitudes of many school administrations, South Huron was viewed by the students attending as one of the most progressive schools that sent representatives to the conference. The Students' Council at South Huron has provided en- tertainment and activities of a calibre that is unheard of in other schools. Most schools do not have a spring prom that comes close to ours in terms of decorations and entertainment. Our yearbook is of equal or better quality that that of any high school in Ontario (and of many universities too). We tend to overlook these things so easily, and,forget that if we don't all support our school, its Students' Council and its organizations, we may lose the privileges that would seem so dear to us in retrospect if lost. One other thing we tend to forget - we are indeed fortunate to have an enlightened principal and an approachable staff. I believe the recent verbal exchanges in "The Guardian" manifest the high interest students have in school affairs, and more important, clearly reveal that the student organizations are trying hard to do their jobs. I, for one, would begin to worry about the student body and its organizations when there is no action, no attempt at anything new or ,,contpeVeraial and no interest, criticism or support on the part of the students. It's easy to sit back corn- pacently and not make waves; one doesn't get into trouble that way. Thank goodness our students are willing to stir up the waters, because that usually has to be done if one wants to get anywhere. C. R. Murray Attention Dairymen! JOIN US ON A TRIP TO SEE THE PURINA DAIRY RESEARCH FARMS IN ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI Sunday, Nov. 24th through Tues., Nov. 26th, 1974 THE COST $25000 (INCLUDES AIRFARE, MEALS & LODGING) School band needs musicians By DEB HILLMAN Did you knout there is a school band at South Huron? Don't be too surprised at the news for not many people know about the group. The students involved are few but they are, according to Rick Graham their organizer, "dedicated musicians, very in- terested in music and the school band." Unfortunately there are not enough members yet but it is hoped that more people will join. Presently the group includes Liz Deichert on alto sax, Mark Doyle on tenor sax, Bill Semple on clarinet, Brenda Pepper on piano, Dave Webster on drums and Brock Adams and Mr. Graham on the trumpet. The music they play is of the popular type and the musicians seem to get along well both in music and personally as well. In the near future the group would like to perform for the school but more support is needed, Anyone interested in joining may see Mr, Graham anytime or attend one of the rehearsals which are held every Wednesday in room 111 at 3:30. If enough interest is shown it may be possible for Mr. Graham to teach some students to play a woodwind instrument. Instruments, though, must be supplied by the student. Are you interested? On a wretched scrap of paper at my feet I discovered the guardian page of last week's paper (there have been quite a few scraps of paper at my feet lately), containing many articles of complaints on various topics. I find this the appropriate time to put forth my few but rather harsh ideas, I am a white ash tree inhabiting an area known for inconceivable amounts of smoke. How I love to reminisce the old days. And those old days weren't so long ago.Blue skies, bright sunshine, fresh air and the three walls that surrounded me served their purpose to protect me. Now I'm surrounded by four walls, smokey and bad tasting air, a limited amount of sunshine and numerous people with little white sticks in their mouth. Through the gossip line I hear I live in a smoking area. Unfor- tunately I missed the day they asked my permission to construct such a fortress. Have I no rights? Am I a victim of human dominance? I use to have a bird that was a very close friend to me. He visited me every day and sang some very sweet songs to me. Now he only comes on the weekends because thats the only time the smoke minimizes and the air temporarily clears. My lifelong companions are lost to me. The wind no longer whispers sweet nothings through my branches and the grass is dead and trampled into the earth. My surroundings are bleak, black and barren. You might as well know my physical problems too, My leaves are wilting, filtered with smoke, and my bark smells of smoke, the sweet fragrance and bright healthy leaves are gone forever. Furthermore I feel I'm getting bark cancer. You humans have lung cancer but us trees have bark cancer. It's deadly to me and its a long painful disease.
