sponsibility and they are in-
fluenced by so many around
them that it makes it hard for
them to make their own decis-
ions.
Why is it that so many are
ending up in institutions? Is it
because they are frightened of
life? confused? depressed?
lonely? But why do they feel
this way? Haven't they every-
thing they need security of a
good home, food, shelter, op-
portunity, money? Maybe this
is the answer. They are given
so many material things that
when they go out in the world
and have to acquire some of
these things for themselves they
do not know how or where to
find them, They try to be in-
dependent but find it impossible
because they have to always
lean on someone for help. Some
believe that they are fully in-
dependent now but will not real-
ly know what it means until
they are out on their own.
Then there are the ones who
try to be so independent that
they rebel -- quit school, find
security in a group or gang, etc.
They gain nothing from this ex-
cept that they have "independ-
ently" taken action to free them-
selves from the responsibilities
and pressures which have been
placed upon them.
But what is the answer? Is it
wrong to achieve top-positions
and gain a high social status?
Of course not. If you are given
the ability to gain such an
achievement then by all means
do so and do it with pride. If
you are not able to obtain this
position then don't be envious
but take your own position, no
matter what it is, and make it a
success. No matter what your
skill or trade is do the best you
can and keep building up your
skill through experience and
achievements. If you put only
your best into your work, then
it Pan be nothing but a success.
To many success means money
but I think that when one works
to achieve his goal the money
will not mean as much as the
satisfaction that he feels when
he knows that he is really con-
tributing something to society.

Canada Meditations
A hundred years since Canada was born
What has our nation done in all this time?
The sturdy rugged ship that sails our dime
Reminds of days that broke with perfect morn --
For neither can be look'd upon with scorn :
From mountain top to fertile plain of Thine
In vision the joyful church bells chime;
There sounds net one discordant nor forlorn.
So may it be with people in out land.
Let's hope for deep and everlasting peace,
Release from tyranny and forced toil:
Canadians shall form one happy hand,
(Confederation did our disputes cease, )
May Man then always cultivate His Soil.
--Edith A Utah XIIA

This is a question which
many do not think about be-
cause they may not realize that
it is happening. But isn't it
true? How often have you been
told to study harder so that you
will be able to obtain a higher
education and a better position
in life? This is very good if you
are able to achieve this goal
but not all of us can have the
"top-jobs" and the "top-posi-
tions" in life. We are not all
suited for these positions so why
try to be something that you
may never be able to achieve?
Many are skilled at different
things and each person has a
particular place in life and an
ability to do something for him-
self.
Every parent wants his child
to have the opportunities that
he has missed. Seeing his son
or daughter progress and be-
come a lawyer or a nurse makes
them feel that they have achiev-
ed this goal through the success
of their offspring.
The older generation tells us
that we have it much easier to-
day then they did. But the
"easier" it gets the harder it be-
comes to achieve your goal. To-
day teenagers have a greater re-
he attended West Elgin High
School. On deciding to be a
teacher, he spent the next four
years of his life at Western Uni-
versity. After graduating he
came to W.D.H.S. and is now
in his twelfth year of teaching.
He has taught Math and English
but leaving that behind he now
teaches Physical Education and
Health. He also coaches curl-
ing, football, basketball and
track and field.
Mr. Campbell agrees with
the new school system as there
are longer classes and more
time to work.
When asked to comment on
the students he quotes, "We
can't get along without them,
they are well-behaved".
Highlights in Mr. Campbell's
life are coming to Wingham and
getting married.
To be a good teacher is his
main ambition. lie dislikes
people who are lazy and don't
work to the best of their ability.
His mottos are "Anything
worth doing is worth doing well",
and "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you".
Mr. Campbell also wishes
students would become more in-
terested in extra-curricular ac-
tivities,
Outside interests for Mr.
Campbell are church, Gideons,
curling and golf.
CUT: Shoulder length with
a blunt edge cut. Hair must
be very shiny, in excellent
condition for this style.
TO SET: No setting is
really necessary for thick
freshly washed hair with
good body. For thin hair
that needs some body set
as in diagram using 1"
rollers.
TO COMB: Brush vigorous-
ly over all,then begin brush-
ing all hair upward sharply
for a very pulled-up look.

long on sides and across
the front with a layered
treatment so the hair falls

Hair at back of neck is raz-

brushed, not combed, often
and vigorously to keep in
good condition. Hair is
brushed from a 2 inch side
part across the forehead
keeping a casual effect
never a plastered down look

strongly about the school send-
ing the students to Expo be-
cause he feels that it is parental
responsibility and that this is
another manifestation of the
push by the public to get the
schools to do what the parents
should actually be doing.

Once again this year we find
Mr. Campbell busy in the gym
teaching the grades 10, 11 and
12 physical education.
Mr. Campbell was brought
up on a farm near Dutton, where
BY GLORIA LEWIS 9H
One of the most popular
teachers in the Wingham Dist-
rict High School is Mr. Ritter,
who is head of the guidance de-
partment as well as being vice-
principal. Mr. Ritter is in his
15th year of teaching here.
His hometown was St.Jacobs
where he went to a small rural
public school. His high school
was the Kitchener-Waterloo Col-
legiate and Vocational School.
He then attended Waterloo Col-
lege and received his B.A.
from the University of Western
Ontario. His favorite subjects
in school were English and
tory...
Mr'. 'Ritter is' rnhirrie'd l and
three children. Karen is twelve,
Jimmy nine and David eight. A
few of his hobbies are doing a
bit of wood working around his
summer cottage and belonging
to the militia where he is sec-
ond-in-command of the 21st
Field Regiment, with the rank
of major. On week-ends he
spends his time skiing with the
family and in the summer they
go camping. Mr. Ritter used to
spend quite a bit of his time
coaching hockey.
He feels that everybody has
to have some philosophy of life
to keep going. He thinks that
the six-day cycle is excellent
because it provides more flexi-
bility for teaching and for ad-
ministration.
Mr. Ritter enjoys teaching
because he likes being around
young people and he also likes
a district high school because
he thinks the students come
from better home backgrounds
and 'are not qiiite so sophistidat-
ed as they are in city schools.
His dislikes about teaching are
students who fail but are cap-
able of doing better. He is dis-
appointed too, when students
drop out of school before gradu-
ation.
Mr. Ritter does not feel
Are teenagers pressured too much?
