We have featured both our treasurer and most recently our president as former Students of the Week. Woe to the executive. This week it is oar vice-president, Charles Mustard, who is, in the spotlight (or in the crossfkreif you prefer) Any position on the Students Council is very important, but the vice president is especially so. The vice is the person who puts everything together, and helps the president in any way possible. As if this isn't enough to keep anyone busy (and frustrated) Charles also finds time for many school sports. He has. been involved with volleyball, basketball. soc- cer, and track. This winter he even tried his hand (also feet, arms, elbows...) at, skiing. Charles even became an instructor for awhile, only to see his student take off for the rt reiish timeighl big hill without him! As if that wasn't enough to endure he was also a member of this Year's Reach for the Top team. (No, he did NOT say that Judy Lamarsh is on the twenty:dollar bill!). Although our team did not **reach the top, Charles did just that, in a math contest last yearl He took top honours in the contest sponsored by the University of Waterloo. s akfag, of math 1 was just ask Annie! This week's editorial is written basically for all those parents who cannot com- municate . with their teenagers. If you saw Walt Disney's "Super Dad", you will know exactly what point I want to make. , Many parents today are so wrapped up in their work worlds, and money making businesses that they never take the time to try and communicate and understand their "children". To distinguish whether you are one of those real parents who do try to have a good relationships with their teenagers or one of those who don't, answer these few questions and decide for yourself. When was the last time you took your kids on a picriic? .'he!

There's enough friction in the world without having By Ross Haugh friction between parents and Despite discussion during children. the past month by the Huron dinner with your daughter and her boyfriend? bo you. really know your daughters and sons friends, or do you stereotype them? To me there isn't -anything I dislike more than parents who say that their teenager won't respect them, do what they're told etc., when the real problem is that -„the parents .don't return any respect or try to gain a good relationship. Parents aren't always at fault. though, and teenagers have to remember that their parents were young once too, and know what trouble you can get into. But, this is more often reversed and many parents have to remember what they did when they were yoking. To me, if any reasonable understanding is going to be Pupil teacher ratio remains the same County Board of Education trustees. the student -teacher ratio for the 1976-77 school year will reinain at 22 to 1 as suggested earlier. At a special meeting Wednesday night, the board accepted a recommendation from- the ad hoc negotiating committee that director of education John Cochrane finalize staff for the fall term. At the elementary level from grades one to eight, a maxima of 313.4 teachers will be employed. This is a decrease of 6.6 teachers from the current term. The 313.4 teacher number does not include teachers for home economics. industrial arts. special education and k indergarten The kindergarten ratio is one-half teacher for each 28 pupils or fraction thereof. At the secondary school level. a maximum of 273 teachers may be employed.

He is one of the "Pig Three” in the far corner. Charles has also ben known for drawing objectionable pictures in his math text, and1 for laughing at a certain math' teacher's jokes.(which do not have punch -lines!) Charles is a member of our own "armed farces" at CHSS. He was last seen convincing a nervous grade niner of his guilt at the pop -machine. In fact Charles has earned for himself, the OM "The Smiling Prefect**. Perhaps the deepest secret about- Charles is his ex- cellence in apple -picking skills, for which he was once called "Rossy's No. 1 Choice". There are also rumours about his behaviotu. in Florida (which I have neither the time nor courage to reveal) In spite of that, Charles' behaviour at CHSS certainly merits thatihe be chosen Student of the'Week.
