T -A photo Ask students to make choice for next school year subjects The time for students at South Huron District High School to make their choice of courses for the next school year is here again. Students are asked to make their subject choices by March 10, 1975. The philosophy that students. together with their parents, assume the responsibility for selecting the courses that make up the students program makes it necessary for the school to request that this selection be undertaken early enough to provide staff and space for the Need photos for Inkspot By KATHY STECKLE The first deadline for the 1975 Inkspot has been met. This first section which is now in the hands of the printer contains the Prin- cipal's Message and the teacher's pictures. The theme for this year's year- book is based on "You are a child of the Universe." Liz Deichert is designing the cover which is to be kept a secret for a little while longer. As in other years we will once again have a full colour liner. To fill the Yearbook pictures are needed. Therefore two pic- ture days have been planned. On January 29 pictures will be taken of the different clubs in the school The second one will be on February 4 to get pictures of those teams involved in winter sports. Last week was the deadline for ordering yearbooks. Deb Wooden the Inkspot editor. had to send the exact amount wanted. by this month. Extra books are not ordered because the Student Council has to pay $6.50 per book not sold. There are now two deadlines left. one in May and one in June. There will be some innovations in this yearbook. One. is that there will be comments accompanying each graduate picture and. of special interest the Yearbook Staff is attempting to convince Mr. .is to pose for a cen- trefold^^ Our school is one of the few left in the province that still has a yearbook. We should support this organization fully.

The staffing of the school. the distribution of teaching assignments, room allocations and so on are dependent upon the courses demanded. It is no longer possible for the school to produce ;t time table based on group of students taking the same program because a few students have exactly the same program. Essentially the school tries to produce 1,100 time tables, one for each student. There are few Ministry of Education requirements imposed on students as far as compulsory courses are concerned. Students are expected to take a minimum of three courses from each of the four areas of study. There is also the requirement that students accumulate a minimum of four English credit and two credits in Canadian studies. It is more difficult for students to accept responsibility for selecting their own program of studies. They no longer have the direction that comes from having compulsory courses. However, students should benefit more from a program which they have selected than from one that is imposed on them. In order to assist students in selecting courses there will be a series of information sessions about the various courses. These sessions will begin on February 3. There will be a night for grade 8 students and their parents on February 3 at 8 p.m. at the school. On February 17 at 7 p.m. there will be a parents night at South Huron for the parents of all South Huron students. Guidance staff. the principal. vice principal and teachers are all available to assist students with their course selection. Most students accept the responsibility of selecting a challenging program. Suggestions that many students in Ontario select easy programs is not supported by the facts. It is true that some students do select program consistency of courses which they consider to be easy. Such students however would find that a program lacking the traditional academic subjects will limit the usefulness of their graduation diploma. The school tries to provide for the courses which students request. Despite limitations of space and time and availability of staff South Huron will combine to meet the course requests of alrnost all students. Parents are asked to keep in mind the dates for parents night. Parents are also advised that student reports will be issued on February 10. Some articles concerning course selection will appear in the next several issues of the paper. If parents have any questions they are welcome to call or come to the school to discuss student course selection and student progress. Public speaking winners named Last week's public speaking contest was a great success. Eight speakers competed with speeches of excellent caliber. The topics were varied and it is probable that- the judges had a hard time deciding the winner. Besides the prepared speech. each speaker was required to read a passage from a book and also to do an impromptuspeech After the session points were added up and the judges declared Paul Van Esbroeck winner in the junior division with his sister Lucy a close second. They spoke on 'feeding the poor nations' and 'fear' respectively. Special mention should go to Cathy Wooden. Brenda Pepper and Kelly Gaiser who also were entered in the junior division Tony Kyle ended up the winner in the senior section. His in- teresting talk was about teenagers. Kathy de .Jong placed second with a speech discussing time. The third speaker in the senior group was Fred Knip who also did a really fine job. Those students who placed first and second will now go on to other contests in the area. Big change experienced By DOROTHY BAX If there is one thing that presents a big change in our lives, it is entering grade nine! We have just come from different elementary schools around the Exeter area. where we knew everyone's names. every classroom and teacher in the school. Then, we enter a large two - floor school with over sixty teachers and 1.000 pupils. Every class that we enter is different, a different room. teachers and different faces. and the classes. instead of being forty minutes long are now seventy. After sitting in some classes for that period of time. a ten minute break at the end certain- ly is welcome! Other classes. though. are just fine. you have time to get the necessary work finished without hurrying about and having toads of homework. In the expanse of halls. we see older people than ourselves which is a contrast to elemen- tary school also. There. being in gradeeight we were the aIdest and the most responsible. Instead, •of desks. we have lockers to put all of our belongings in. which can get ex- tremely full. especially with ex- tra winter clothes besides our books. _ Lunch period is something else again. seventy minutes long and instead of bringing your lunch, you now are able to buy it right in school. That means we are now able to buy what we want. and as much as we want (or as much as our budget allows). There is also a jukebox. to listen to or put up - with. Its continuous music is im- planted in our minds. At the end of the day. there is a half hour called "Activity Period" in which we may join clubs. visit the library take part in sports or just talk to friends. This is something that all grade nines say that they like about High School. the chance to mix with others.or be on their own. Clubs are just great.' we have a chance to share with others who have the same interests and goals that we may have. One thing that really is out- standing about High School is the school spirit. The interest and enthusiasm shown in pep rallies and sport competitions doesn't leave much to be desired. By joining teams that range from football to badminton, we notice this spirit all the more. Another outstanding feature shown is, the time put in by teacher's for the benefit of the students after regular hours. This certainly does not pass un- noticed. The Inkspot, the S.H.D.H.S. yearbook is also something that shows the school's character. Much effort is put into the photography. printing and organization of this book that preserves our school day memories.
