Exams are coming. That is a scary reality for most of the students
at South Huron District High School. Exams are really not that hor-
rible but they are dreaded by most students. The hest way to take the
anxiety out of exams is to make sure you arc well prepared. How do
you become well prepared? Well study of course. Yes, you do have
to study if you want to do well. Exams can count for up to 40 per
cent of your final mark so it is important that you know all the infor-
mation to pass. A few exam tips that seem to help are: -
1. Leave enough time to prepare. Cramming the night before
doesn't cut it.
2. Have a study schedule. Write down how much time you have to
study and mark in the time you will study for each sequence.
3. Study with a pen in your hand. It has been proven that you re-
tain more information if you write it as well as read it.
4. Learn your own method of studying. Everyone has a way which
works bescfor them. Find your way and improve upon it.
5. Talk to your teachers. They arc there to help.
Exams start on Friday, January 19 and run until the following Fri-
day. Good luck to everyone.
STRATI' RD - New Year's res-
olutions cot e. And go. At the top
of the list any is the chal-
lenge to quit smoktii tudies in-
dicate that as many as 9 er cent
of regular smokers would a to
quit, and most have already made
attempts to do so.
For those interested in "kicking
the habit" The Lung Association,
Huron -Perth Counties offers a
wide selection of material includ-
ing Get On Track, a self-help
smoking cessation guide full of in-
formation and encouraging tips. It
helps one plan the steps to quitting
smoking, outlines potential proA-
leets one might face, and offers
strategics to cope with withdrawal
symptoms.
Smokers who quit improve their
prospect of living healthier Iive,4,
Within a year of quitting, the addi-
tional risk of heart disease caused
by smoking drops by half. After 15
years of quitting, a person's risk of
death frons smoking-related diseas-
es is about that of someone who
has never used tobacco.
Quitting smoking is rarely easy.
Nicotine is extremely addictive,
harder to give up than cocaine or
heroin. As well, people wanting to
quit must fight the "habit" that
smoking has become - the cigarette
with a coffee, the first cigarette of
the day, the cigarette while on the
telephone. Although giving up cig-
arettes can be difficult, Tots of peo-
ple have successfully done it. Tp -
day more than 7 million Canadians
arc former smokers.

organized by Gospel Hall in Grand Bend •
ZURICH - Monday January 8 was "Happy Face Party" day at Blue Wa-
ter Rest Home. The residents gathered in the auditorium and were present-
ed with a big yellow happy face, which they wore all day long, which be-
came quite contagious as it brought a smile to one and all. In the
afternoon the residents watched a "Ray Stevens" comedy video which just
fit the occasion.
On Tuesday afternoon members of the Grand Bend Women's Institute
visited the home to entertain the residents and the January birthday peo-
ple. Henricus (Harry) Maas, Murray McNab and Ruby Fulcher, the birth-
day celebrations, enjoyed line dancing entertainment provided by Les
Greenwood and "The Shorcliners". Paula Cormier, Betty McTeer, Mau-
reen Healy, Brenda Love, Elsie Keys, Laura Desjardine, Joy Hogg and
Mary Vanderhovel showed their prowess with the tunes of "Rocky Moun-
tain Stroll, Deep in the Heart of Texas", just to name a few. Les sang
"Surround Me With Love" and the residents joined in for a square dance
shuffle from their seats. Donna Klopp, Auxiliary president thanked the
group for their performance and Marlene Gingerich, Lottie Grenier and
Cathy Shantz helped serve refreshments to the residents and guests.
Also, that afternoon Loftus Denomme, Wilfred Corriveau, Margaret
MousSeau, Marcella Dietrich, Joan Bedard and Dorothy Bapty boarded
the wheelchair bus for a trip to St. Boniface Church to have their picture
taken for the membership book. Martha Risi and Cathy Shantz assisted
with the pose, to make each look their finest while Jim Purvis was volun-
teer driver.
Rev. Peter Baldwin, St. George Anglican Church, Goderich conducted
Thursday afternoon chapel service. Fr. Matthias Wronski, St. Boniface
Church celebrated Mass.

prise birthday party in the Auditorium for Murray McNaab's 99th birth-

short program was held.

A well prepared resume will help you
get the job you are looking for!
A resume detailing an applicant's work history and
education is extremely helpful to an employer who
is seeking a person for a specific job vacancy.
Your personal resume should accompany
your letter of application.
Here are some guidelines to follow in preparing your resume:
O Make it clear, concise and easy to read - and no longer
than two pages •
O The resume should be typed on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper
with enough white space to prevent a cluttered look
O Start with your name, address and phone number
❑ Next under a sub -heading "Work History" detail the
previousobs you've held - in reverse date order
- that is, last job first. •
O Use a separate paragraph for each position and
precede it with the dates you held that position.
O State the job title, a brief description of the.
responsibilities - and the results you achieved.
O The next section of your resume should come under the
sub -heading of "Education". Start with the highest
degree obtained or grade completed, followed by the
name of the institution at which you ptudied. Follow
this with previous education attainments. At the end,
list any specific instructional courses you have
attended in conjunction with your work.
O Under the sub -heading "Affiliations", list memberships
and/or offices held in professional or industry
associations.
O Under the sub -heading "Personal Interests" list any
activities which you feel will be of interest to the
employer - such as volunteer work, etc.
Your letter of application and your resume will be the
factors that make the employer decide whether to short
list you for an interview. So make It as Impressive
as you can - but stick to the facts.
