The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-11-21, Page 9We'll Do the Job Right... Editorial Enthusiasm dwindles The enthusiasm that accompanies students to school for the first month has now completely disappeared. Students appear bored and some are even Counting the days til summer. Everytime the fast approaching exams are mentioned everyone groans or threatens to commit Suicide. When the interim reports came out on Monday everyone started to realize that in a month's time the first term will be over. A lot of people are glad that one third of the school year is almost completed. It is too bad that these people are wasting their time watching the days speed past. There is so much to do here at South Huron and so much to look *ward to. These are the best years of our lives. We should enjoy them, One should not stand back and let them pass for many regrets can come in later years if this attitude is taken. Everyone should join a club or take part in sports. Everyone should get involved! The exams will be over before you know it and you will wonder what all the worry was about. Whether you are in grade nine or thirteen don't just sit there and become stagnant. Become a part of South Huron High School, The rewards far outweigh any arguments you may have, -w • A Times-Aiivocote., November 21, 1974 row, Suddenly Skipped any classes lately? Shop at Rome By LINDA FLEMING I'M sure that three quartqs of all persons attending this school and reading this article have skipped classes before, and the quarter that hasn't will probably do so in the near future. But, are you,belping yourself? To skip class is to miss work, to miss work is to get further behind in your studies and to drop down in your academic standing.

In skipping classes we are lessening our chances of gaining a job that we should be educationally prepared for, Don't ever think that you are pulling the wool over a teacher's eyes with petty excuses, Our teachers aren't stupid, they know when student's are missing classes on purpose. When they report us, it's for our own good, to make us realize the importance of attending class and completing homework. I am speaking of shipping, from personal experience, I'm in grade 12 and have shipped enough classes this year tomake up for ' the cutting of classes I didn't do in grades 9, 10 & 11, What have I to show for my missed classes? NOTHING! Just a wasted term and low marks. Face it! It's not worth it. Attend class, complete your work, bring your marks up and improve yourself. Look at me, a grade twelve student, skipping classes, I should be ashamed of myself. The morning begins.Calm, clear, peaceful. Suddenly something falls. Something white. Kveryone realizes that this is something new. Suddenly everyone remembers. Kids on , their school buses cheer. Their bus driver suddenly puts on the windshield wipers. Finally the kids unload from the bus, bundled up for a winters' day, Jumping for delight, the kids talk among friends about this annual discovery, Some like to ignore.it. But others jump for joy. Racing to be the first to roll this white feathery mixture into a ball. Falling from the sky, it hits your nose, shoulders and eyelashes and melts. Disappears. But where does it go? What does it turn into? Suddenly it comes down much more heavily. In gusts, It is alone out in the world. Blowing alone. Suddenly you can't see. you are walking as if blinded. It is blowing much more heavily.. Fighting for its life. Suddenly it is gone. • CENTRALIA, ONTARIO Plant: 235-0833 Office: 228-6961 Best Interest Announcing . , THE OPENING OF A lost friend We represent many Trust Companies.
