Fasten your thinking caps and
get ready to go, Within the next
week you're barely going to have
time to breathe while you try to
cram all the juicy little details of
every subject in your mind in
readiness of the ever dreaded
exams.
Three and a half months of
work will have their pay off days
within these weeks, testing your
ability to write essays, fill in
blanks, and guess at true and
false, How much listening you've
done to teachers, how many notes
you've taken, and how much
you've really learned will be the
result of it.
What the exams really show is
sometimes frightening to those
who have constantly skipped
classes or daydreamed through
most of them thes e are your doom

Christmas is back again in all
its glory. Lights adorn many a
house and street lamps and the
ingenuity and planning of the
decorations show people still
have a great deal of imagination.
As usual the media is leading
the way to that one happy day
when all of mankind should be
thankful. Newspapers depict the
advertisements of suggested
Christmas gifts for all concerned
and naturally where you can
aquire them.
The TV is engrossed in a series
of advertisements depicting
Christmas through certain stores
in an amusing and cheerful way
which makes buying gifts seem
more enjoyable and less a matter
of money.
Radios are starting to give us a
touch of Christmas music and the
ever popular Christmas carols
can be heard once more.
Sweet smelling pine trees can
again be seen showing their best
hoping to be taken in by some
passer by. Christmas goodies are
starting to appear in the bake
shops, all the way from spicy
cookies to nutty and very
traditional Christmas cake.
Decorations are on store
shelves. Bright coloured bells,
sparkling tinsel , beautifully
designed Christmas paper, and
ingenious christmas cards can be
seen anywhere.
With a few flakes of snow the
setting will be perfect for one and
all. People should be be
especially happy and joyous this
time of year and this quote
perhaps sums it all up. "It is good
to be children sometimes and
never better than at Christmas,
when its mighty founder was a
child himself." A Merry
Christmas to you all and best
wishes for a wonderful happy
new year!

Stolen notes
Letter to the Editor:
Now that exams are upon us,
many students have realized how
important those notes were that
they didn't keep up to date, or
those that they did.
The majority of students,
however, were able to keep notes
and thus had material for which
to study. But this year as in the
past, those inconsiderate few,too
lazy to do their own work have
taken it upon themselves to
borrow others notes, sometimes
without permission. The lowness
that a person must achieve to
steal a fellow students notes and
sometimes even textbooks
astounds me! They think not of
the poor fellow they have
"borrowed" the notes from, but
only of themselves. I hazard a
guess that those that steal notes
don't often do well in exams even
with the aid of the illicitly
acquired papers.
But what of the victim of such a
theft? Two and one half months.
notes, faithfully kept, are hard to
come by.
Would it do any good to ask the
thieves to examine what they
have done? Wouldn't it be better
to ask permission to copy the
valuable notes rather than steal?
I have no sympathy for those
that do not keep their work up to
date, I am truly shocked that
such persons could actually
inhabit the halls of South Huron,
As for the notes, if others can do
it, so can they.

exams have not always been the
same as they are now.
At one time all exams were
held in either the new or old
gyms. Row upon row of desks
graced these halls. Every second
row contained students furiously
at work on their term papers,
while teachers quietly patrolled
the aisles, watching and
listening. Watching, writing,
thinking, sleeping for two solid
hours! Terrific!
At this time exams were held in
December, March and June. If a
sixty percent average was ob-
tained by June the students were
not required to write the "finals."
In the school year of 72-73 the
"in class' exams began, Now
exams of two hours in length
were held in various rooms,
rather than the gymnasia. The
worry was decreased but the
finals still existed.
The next year saw the abolition
of final exams. The students were
given freedom, of a sort. In their
place, students found weekly
tests in many classes. The threat
of exams was slowly beginning to
die.
This year again has seen
changes. Now the unfortunate
students are faced with both
"formal" exams and in class
tests. The week of December 16 to
20 has been set for the exams. As
for the tests, they have been left
to the decision of Department
Heads as to time, length, etc, So
students have found they have
tests this week, exams next week
and more tests in January. Mind
boggling in the least!
Over the years the students are
slowly being relieved of the shock
of exams. Perhaps someday they
will be a thing of the past. But to
those that are here now, and are
still writing the "little nasties," I
say good luck.
Too bad this apparent phase,
out didn't begin in 1964! Dave Snider

Long ago, a baby was bore
But this means nothing anymore
Christmas used to be joy and
happiness
Today, people don't know why, or
don't care less!
Gifts of love were given to the
new born son
But now many dollars are spent
„ by .everyone
Many Christmas carols we now
sing
But what meaning do they bring?
When Jesus was born it was a
very special day
But now we celebrate it in a much
different way
We need gifts and feasts, but
what we really miss -
Is that long ago they had none of
this!
Stories about Jesus are hardly
ever read,
And almost nothing about "the
birth" is said
Money and gifts didn't bring
Jesus to us
So we don't need them either for a
Merry Christmas!
It will be interesting to hear
today's teen-agers tell their
children what they had to do
without.

For Senior Theatre Arts
students this week is a kind of
relaxation period after the hectic
activities of last week.
The first week in December
meant frequent loading and
unloading of the bus, half naked
kids running around crying, "has
anyone seen the costume
for . . ," detailed but rushed
make-up sessions and extreme
nervousness.
December 2-6 was Children's
Theatre time, Our troupe visited
six area public schools where we
performed for primary children.
All the youngsters seemed to
enjoy the fairy tales and singing.
'Most of them sat wide eyed as;
queens, princes, an emperor
(with no clothes! !), a talking rose
bush and a dancing nightingale
paraded in front of them.
The performers also had a good
time but we must admit we were
pretty scared at first. It didn't
take us long, though, to see that
we were doing just fine in the
eyes of the kids. By Friday we
had the confidence of
professionals (we think!).
Despite, the problems that will
develop with any production, all
of us enjoyed last week's ex-
perience. We are also thankful
for the consideration given us by
teachers whose classes we
missed.
And now that we have com-
pleted our first term 'assign-
ment' we are already preparing
for next term's play competition.
So if you see a harassed group of
kids attacking Ms. Quigley you
can be sure of the reason why,
