Initiation
On Friday Sept. 20, the Cuss
seniors were able to get even
v4 the gmde nine stu4ients by
punishlng them, with the serne
we great through three or
four years ago. Proposals to
ers, penny races, and
errands were very prevalent
between classes,- Screarnim
hearted laughing and
running was also heard in the
Nits,
This year's initiation was
pretty successful, as all seniors
bald 'to show cards saying that
they were allowed to initiate
students. The Prefects also
patrolled the halls and could
stop any drastic measures for
being performed.
The cc6turnes' this year were
not as original as in years
before, but were quite cute
nonetheless. The boys had to
wear a ladies slip, twodifferent
shoes and a bathing or shower
cap. The girls wore men's long
underwear, with a sports -shirt
the second ter, ag
points Were sccwed for bc
sides but the Stratford gi
umpd lnto the lead making
LC score 13-7
The CHSS girls were not
ready to admit defeat and they
continued their scoring in the
third quarter, but so did
Straiten,boosting the score to
21-13.
In the fourth quarter, both
teams were trying hard for the
victory and despite the defence
of the home teamthe visiting
team gained the most points
finishing the game with a 28-23
score.
This perhaps was a turning
mint for the juniors, being the
first game over for the new
members on the team.. Each
girl on the team did her part to
try and defeat the opposing
team but special credit should
be given to Suzie Chambers for
her outstanding performance of
scoring 17o1 our final 23 points.
We also wish our best to the
junior girls in the future games,
and hope they continue to play
to the best of theirability.
Imaginatlon Day
Some of the students of
Central Huron really let their
imaginations go wild recently.
Sept. 17 was "Imagination
Day" and the students could
dress however they wanted,
within reason of course.
Some students indicted their
future careers by ,their
costumes, while ,tothers

"Tough" time for teachers
East springwhile penning about 80 ap-
plications for one job teachhig English, I
expressed sympathy for the young graduates
"of teachers' colleges, all set to go, wanting to
be teachers, and scarcely a job in sight.
At the time, I suggested it was rotten
planning: graduating about 10 teachers for
each job available. 1 still think it is.
But the column brought a couple of in-
teresting responses, which I haven't managed
to get around to answering. Thought rd do so
now, as we are launched into a new year of
teaching adlear Wag,
Miss M& -Buck of Windsor, Ontario, read
tire cragratiiitiorilliiikiiiiNiviiii:adViolt.
issue with it, in a lady -like fashion and the
most exquisite handwriting I've seen in years.
She writes;
"You have described the situation very well
as it applies to the job market in the areaof.
Secondary English; however, it concerns me
that young people who are considering a
career in teaching might think that there are
no opportunities in tearldng at all. This is far
from true.
'There is a demand for Secondary teachers
of Mathematics. Physics, Girls' Physical
Education, Home Economics, Art, Music,
Business and Secretarial subjects, and
Technical areas. There are also excellent
opportunities far those who wish to teach in
the Public or Separate Elementary schools."
Well, thanks, Miss Buck. This is, heartening
news. I don't know about the Maths and
Physics. I doubt there's a "demand" for
them, but there's always room for a good ane.
Art and Music teachers are sitting pretty.
But only because they are. scarce. Any doge
can teach English, as I am frequently
remiaded, but few young people have the
talent and training for thearts.
Girls' PhysEd., yes. Perhaps this is
because of attrition. A lot of the younger arms
get married and have babies. And it's tougher
and tougher to put the girls over the hurdles
with each year you put on yourself.
Elizabeth Taylor, I am happy to say, will be
able to make ends meet. And she has not need
for a reunion with Richard Burton te da so. Liz
is a young friend of ours, a contemporary of
my daughter, and I nursed her through Grade
10,12 and 13 English. She graduated last June
as a Phys. Ed. teacher, and was hired by the
first school she applied to.
She couldn't believe it when 1 told her how
much money she'd be making —about $11,000
a year. "Migawd, I'm rich!' Then we started
to figure income tax, salary deductions for
this and that, and the cost of living. She won't
even be well-to-do.
Hometc.? Again, 1 agree. We lost a' young
lady last June, because she had to move to die
city. She had another job in two weeks. 1 don't
know why they're scarce.
Technical teachers? Yes. There's a shor-
tage. And a reason, About 15 years ago, quite
a few technicians deserted their trades to
enter teaching, not for more money, but for
better working conditions, security — many
reasons.
Over a decade they saw their former trades
become more and more affluent, as wages
went up and up, until the former electricians,
mechanics, draftsmen, now teachers. were
making considerably less as teachers than
they would be as skilled workers, and with
three times the tension. There are very few
young technicians coming into teaching now.
Who needs it, when he can make $80 a day at
his job, and leave it behind when he finishes
work?
From F.W. Reinhold, Superintendent of
Schools in the Fort Vermilion School Division,
tirthePetitteRitter,districtutAiberta.sarne
another missive.
Written at the end of last June, the letter
says: "I read your article in the Brooks
Bulletin re Tough Time for Teachers and am
wondering if you are serious...There is no
surplus of teachers in Western Canada...we
still have 22 vacancies at the Etementary
level and six at the junior -senior high level."
Twenty-eight 'vacancies at the end of June. In
one school district!
Mr. Reinhold enclosed a terse but shocking
resume of his school board's attempt to staff
its schools.
After extensive advertising in Alberta
dailies, American newspapers, and listings
with Manpower, here's the picture:
December, 1974: Wrote to 15 first -semester
graduates at University of Lethbridge ex-
presshig interest In hiring them, Not one
replied to myletters.
February, 1975: Extensive advertising and
,Manpower (received 45 applications).
Feb., 1975: Extensive advertising U.S.
papers (approximately 400 applications
received).
Feb., 1975: Conducted interviews U.of
Calgary and U.of Alberta; 49 applicants in-
terviewed. Three agreed to sign a contract.
May, 1975: a vacancies listed with Man-
power. Two replies.
April and May: more advertising.
June,. 1975: 40 vacancies. Only 54 ap-
plications were received from Canadian
teachers.
Result: tbree,..,accepted contratts; 3Q ac-
cepted contracts elsewhere; seven will not
accept a contract at this time; five are not
suitable.
So. When he wrote, Fort Vermilion School
Division was short 28 teachers for September.
I take back all my sympathy, for young
teachers. One of two things is obvious.
Either the Fort Vermilion School Board is
one of the worst in the world, which 1 doubt.
Or all you young idealists, of both sexes,
don't really want to teach that much. YOU
want a nice job, in a nice school, not too far
from Mom and Dad, in the city or close to it,
where you won't get your feet wet or year
hands dirty,,wim't he too told or too lonely.
Otherwise, you'd be up There in Peace
River, getting the experience of your young
lives and finding out %hat makes you tick.

Cross Country Team
On VedrilL"ItSesdayesimiSept. 24, our
newly formed coss-country
team competed in a cross-
country meet at Stratford.
Sixteen high schools from all
over south-western Ontario
provided stiff competition.
However, we made a good
showing considering it was the
first meet of the season. The
top midget girls were Chris
Valkenburg and Debbie
Postnta, who placed 13 and 14
out of 177 girls. George Collins
and Adrian Reherst were the
top midget boys. George
placed 8 out of 110 boys in the
two and on.e half mile run.
In the senior class Nancy
MacDonald placed well by
coming in 8 out of 45 com-
petitors.
The cross country team
meets four nights a woes of
training under the expert
. coaching of Mr. Ludwig again
this year.
The team travels to Exeter
on October lst. A week later,
en October 7, they go to
Parkhill and to Huron -Perth on
October 17.
French Club Meets
The French club had their
first meeting this week. We
discussed what we would like to
do this year and came up with
some pretty good ideas.
We elected a president,

organizer.

Senior Boys Volleyball
The 1975 senior boys
volleyball team have started
their new season. The -first of
the Huron team tournaments
was held Wednesday Sep-
tember 24, at FE. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham.
With "A few bugs to iron out"
the' senior Redmen could prove
to be a threat to other schools.
However, the threat was met as
the senior i were beaten in the
two -out -of -three series with the
Madill Mustangs. Winning the
first game of the set, the
Redmen lost the remaining two
due to mental errors.
Exeter was defeated hands
down by the seniors. In both
games the local talent proved
too much for the Panthers from
Exeter. Excellent serving by
Peter Wise, Geoff Gib)), and
Paul Robinson was recorded.
Peter Wise and Pat Phillips, set
up by Doug Riehl provided the
mainoffence:
Coach Keith Allen of Clinton
is confident that the boys can
perform better. This years
team consists of: Captain,
GeOff Gibb, Doug Riehl. Dean

a boost in the second quarter
when they gained five points.

step ahead of our girls though
and the final score of the second
quarter was 27-5.
