Both teams suffered defeats. The seniors lost 71-41 and the midgets 28-17. The seniors ended the season with a 5-4 record, in 5th place, one position out of the playoffs. The midgets attend the Huron-Perth championship tournament today. The• seniors were out- played by the Golden Bears in the cloistered confines of Seaforth's gymnasium. The team ,did not manoever the ball well as they turned it By MAUREEN GANS Well folks, it's that time of season again. It's time to get out the calculators, the dusty textbooks, to throw away the T.V. Guide and search for the aspirin. Yes...exams ...again! It seems that we just get through one set of exams and we have to start all over again, memorizing, reading, Heavy metal sound greets HS audience By MATT McCLU R E followed the high school and bar circuit. The grolip has one album out that is entitled simply "The Hunt". During their performance Friday night, the band played several selections including "It's All too Much". The single from their next album "Back to the Hunt" which will be released in 3 weeks time. The group likes the "sex and drugs" image connected with rock performers, although they confess that in their instance they lead rather normal lives devoid of those stereotype fantasies. Guitarist Brian Gagnon, feels there is static demand for their type of music despite the recent trends towards new wave. Time will tell whether The Hunt will be able to resist this trend and broaden their base to include the popular music scene. No doubt, it is a rather simple matter. To conclude, that when only 200 persons attend a concert, the student council will lose money. Perhaps, South Huron will have to follow the practise as do other schools of hiring smaller bands or disc jockeys for concerts or dances, If there is not suf- ficient support by the student body, for events of this nature, then they can't be held. However, if the students are showing the students council what they don't want for entertainment at social functions, then it is the responsibility of the council otond • et it findout .what they do want Friday night the walls of South Huron resounded with the music of "The Hunt", A comparatively small audience of about 200 per- sons attended the concert. Of the 200 persons there *as both negative and positive reaction to the "heavy metal" sound of The Hunt. Dedicated rockers ap- peared to be quite absorbed in the music 'while others drifted listlessly in and out of the gymnasium. The audience, although the performers thought other- wise, seemed reserved. An exception to this reticence was an avid group of pogoers. The trio which is based out of Toronto includes Paul Kersey, the group's leader and percussionist , who had spent four years with Max Webster prior to forming The Hunt. One portion of the show featureS a dramatic solo performance by Kersey which he concludes by destructing a drum with an oversized drumstick. The audience responded wildly to this puerile ploy. Paul Dickinson and Brian Gagnon complete the trio, providing the gutsy guitar work and strong vocals that has led some critics to compare them to such famous Canadian groups as Rush and Triumph. In the near future, the band plans a return tour to Texas this spring where their brand of music is especially popular. In Ontario, the band has and its call letters are, VE3SHH, which stands for South Huron High. The Station is located in the instrument room,. bet- ween the electronics and. electricity shops, This. amateur radio station is supervised by Mr. ryden- auk, who is, a licensed radio meet to be held on the front lawn of the school. A gym- nastics display is also planned. From 4:30 to 6:30 the focus of activity switches to the north end of the recreation centre for a barbeque. 'Tickets to the barbeque and following dance from 8:30 to 1:30 will go on sale April 1. The dance will feature two bands, providing continuous music. The "Homecoming" has been scheduled so that other activities can be held on Friday. and Saturday.

It is a. govern-. meet licensed radio station . .. • .... . ... . By MATT McCLU RE The warm weather of the past week is a reminder that spring is on the way. One of the' events planned ,for this spring is South Huron's "Homecoming '80", Saturday, June 21. The whole spectacle begins Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast at the firehall sponsored by the firemen. For the afternoon, the events move to the high school for an open house. During this time a bluegrass music festival has been planned. Anyone who is interested in the festival is asked to contact Chris Mittelholtz. As well, old pictures and exhibits, depicting school activities that go on presently, will be on display. N.P. For the sports minded, oldtimers, basketball games have been planned for both men. and women. Persons who are in- terested in this activity should see Bill Batten at the T-A. Mr. Ellison has planned an old timer's wrestling GRADUATES — Joanne Cunningham, daughter of Marg and Bev Cunningham, R.R. 2 Lucan graduated recently from Ross Academy in London in the medical of- fice assisting course. events or person with ad- ditional ideas should contact Mike Burke, students council president, so' that note of them can be made in the council's advertising. However, since the school is not sending invitations to old students and teachers, people living in the area are asked to communicate news of the homecoming to those who have left the Exeter vicinity. Your cooperation in this matter will ensure that South Huron's "Homecoming '80" is a success. over 28 times during the course of the contest. As well, the team was restricted to a total of 18 rebounds by Seaforth. John Byrne led the Panthers with 14 points, while Doug Hoff- man was next with 9 points. Dave Bell and Mike Smith played well in the second half adding 4 points each. The midgets couldn't sustain their effort as they fell behind in the final quarter to Seaforth. Poor shooting at the line con- tributed to the midgets loss. The Panthers lanky centre, John Mol, led the midgets with seven points. Mike Glavin and Randy Ford added three points. calculating and cramming for those crazy papers that mean so much to our future. Have you ever wondered what life would be like without exams? It would probably seem really strange. There would be no headaches, and no worrying and no single mark that counts from 40-70 percent of our term. That would mean if we worked hard during the term that...yes!... we wouldn't blow all that work away because we bomb an exam, It would also mean that teachers wouldn't have to go through the bother of writing and marking exams. Of course, there are the good things about exams we must consider. Let's see, there's...uh...well maybe ...oh ...anyway , there must be some purpose for exams. Isn't there? our school radio club has had scheduled radio contacts with schools In Niagara Falls, Toronto, Windsor and even in. Milwaukee, cousin. If any student is interested in finding more information about this fascinating hobby, please see Rich Helm or Mr. Fydenchulc. Meetings of the radio club :are held on Tuesday and Thursday at 3:20. As well, the radio room is .open for use during the noon hours on these days. What better way to learn geography, history, French or Spanish than to talk directly to those parts of the World. To. help Mr. Sims know more about Exeter:, Mr. Wooden has kindly offered to send him one of his books of the History of Exeter. Girls win Huron title By PATTI DOWN The South Huron girl's curling team were suc- cessful in their bid at Huron playdowns. The five school competition was held February 19, at Vanastra curling club, Boys' and girls' teams from F.E. Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich were in at- tendance; besides the two Panthers teams. The girl's team won their first game 9-8 against Clinton. The boy's team defeated Goderich in their match. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control each South Huron team drew byes. The time spent waiting for their third games was spent thinking up strategies.. The whole girl's team pulled together in the final game against Seaforth. Jayne Dougall, Patti Down, Helen Dougall and Terri Brintnell defeated Seaforth, who were last year's Huron champs, 10 to 4. The boys weren't as lucky in their bid to qualify for the Huron Perth conference. Lorrie Mathers, Mike Nielands, Greg Dougall and Bill Simmons ended on the short end of the stick in a 'hard fought battle' against Clinton.They narrowly missed second place and settled for the third position. The teams would like to express their appreciation to Mr. Gladding for giving up his time after school to supervise their practices. Without his planning and devotion the teams could not have gone. Thank you must alsc be said to Mr.Davies for driving to Vanastra and watching the games. Skiers fare well in test By PATTI DOWN The Huron-Perth con- ference meet for cross- country skiing was held February 7. The 5 km course for the girls and the 10 km course for boys was situated in the beautiful woods at Wildwood Park near St. Marys. The girls team consisting of Jayne Dougall, Patti Down, Betty Neevel, Dort Van Esbroeck, Carol Van Wieren, Helen Dougall and Karen Dauber placed favourably well in a field of sixty competitors. Jayne Dougall placed nipth, Patti Down came twenty-second, Betty Neevel crossed in the 35th position and Dort Van Esbroeck was next in 48th place. The boys team consisted of Paul Robinson, Andrew Martens, John Van Esbroeck and Mike Van Raay. Paul Robinson was the best South Huron racer in the field of fifty competitors. Overall the teams did well on the tough course. Snow isn't all that plentiful and the kind of wax used was very im- portant. The boys and girls im- proved their performance in the recent WOSSA com- petition also held at Wild- wood Park. Each member cut off valuable time from their H-P times. Dorothy Van Esbroeck decreased her time by 15 minutes to place 17th. Jayne Dougall was second behind Dorothy to place 18th. Paul Robinson, John Van Esbroeck, Andrew Martens and Rob 13iIcke made up the boy's team. John Van Esbroeck had the most improved performance by cutting 20 minutes off his H- P time. Each member should be contratulated on their fine performances and better waxing techniques.

He writes that his prize call-sign card is from King Hussein of Jordan, who is a very active amateur radio operator. Mr, Sims writes that he is 45 years old and his oc- cupation is travel agent. He would like the school radio club, to send hint information and brochlirea on PigtQrs. Ontario. In the future he would like to bring a group of English tourists from Exeter, in Devon County, England, to visit our fair community.
