Big Brother's news
It seems as if
everybody has been
bogged down by exams or
the snow has cooled
everybody off to the
extent of immobility of
outrageous acts.
Anyway, here's what the
monchkins have found
out this week.
During an intramural
volleyball game Captain
Coordination (alias J A )
was seen in action.
Although JA won the
game J's contribution to
the team's effort was
questionable.
It appears that we have
a mysterious sign maker
at CHSS who pins
(humorous?) notes to
people's backs. Well T..A.
you've been found out.
I've heard that some of
your reddened victims
include CM . RB and to
top the list Mr. J. Quite an
accomplishment T! Now
how do you propose to get
a half decent Math
mark??
Last Friday, PN . PH
and B M were heard
tuning their pop bottles in
the student lounge. The
threesome came to the
conclusion that two
orange and a Coke alt
harmonize. With all the
rest of the 'animals' in
the lounge you should be
able to start a symphony!
It seems a private
movie theatre has
cropped up in the
Geography Dept. After
school last week, Mr.
0 N and Miss S were
witnessed watching an
(interesting?) geography
film. Hey Miss S., I
thought you belonged in
the Math Dept.!
In last Tuesday's Eng.
250 , class Miss T's
students found her to be
somewhat ill -clad. While
on the topic of clothing,
(?) Miss T was called to
the attention of her blouse
which revealed that some
of the button holes were
uninhabited. Rushed that
morning Miss T?
That's alt for now!
Watch out...
Rubella clinic report
Only 43 Grade 12 and 13
girls have made ap-
pointments for the
rubella clinic being held
today. Where are the
other 47?
With these words I
decided that it was time
for me to make my ap-
pointment. What better
way ls there to get out of
class? However as the
day progressed I soon
began to wonder if I had
made the right decision.
Rumors of nurses
"digging" to find veins,
and of students fainting,
filtered through the balls.
Would I meet my fate in
the Student's Lounge of
CHSS?
Finally my time came.
I walked slowly into the
lounge, checking
carefully for bodies that
might be littering the
floor. As I sat down in a
chair beside the nurse,
my life flashed before my
eyes. I turned away and
waited for the inevitable.
unernty5 N
After several minutes
of silence I heard a voice
saying, "O.K. you're
done." Much to my
surprise, I discovered
that I was still alive And
that I could still write - at
least long enough to write
this article. Oh well,
better luck next time!

My only cigarette
by Mike Thomson
The" Major held a lit
matc'ti to my cigarette. I
drew the hot dirty air in
through the tobacco
crammed paper tube and
let the smoke coat my
tongue, cheeks and
throat.
That cigarette was my
first and, until then, I had
condemned my friends
for smoking. The
situation may have
played on my sub-
conscious but it was an
enjoyable experience
anyway,
I dropped the butt to the
ground and • for a
moment, observed the
smoldering remains. The
paper first white, then
brown, then red, then
gray. Then flaking off in
the light breeze which fed
the glowing tobacco with
its needed oxygen.
As I crushed the still lit
refuse with my foot, the
Major spoke, but in my
preoccupation, I did not
hear him. He said
something else which I
didn't hear clearly. As I
contemplated the
deadened butt, I thought,
he must be crazy, yelling
"Fire", for the flame was
clearly extinguished.
1 glanced up in
wonderment, and was
even more amazed at
what I saw. One dozen
corporals, staring at me,
through one dozen
scopes.
I cannot remember the
events which took place
immediately thereafter,
but I have not since seen
the Major, or the cor-
porals. Nor have I
smoked another
cigarette.

'B'Y JEEP' SEDPON
The Huron • County Board of
Education held Its inaugural session
Monday afternoon 'and learned that
1979 May be a year the'board has to co-
operate to "do more for more".
The board members were sworn in
by provincial • -court ' judge William
Cochrane at the 'Miinday afternoon
meeting and were td by chairman
John Elliott, who was acclaimed to the
post, that 1978.had been a difficult year
but that most of the challenges to the
board were met and resolved. He said
the board was at the point where it
must "proceed in a co-operative
manner to provide sound management
and direction for the school community
in Huron county".
Elliott said the board must establish
objectives for 1979 and future years and
work towards those objectives an-
nually reviewing its successes and
failures.
The chairman warned the board that
declining enrolment in county schools
combined ' vvith ' reduced provincial
grants would create, a tough job for the
board. He said trustees must work
closely with teachers, administration,
parents and students to solve financial
problems.
"I hope we're capable of looking past
the immediate effect of decisions and
ignoring our' particular interests to
consider the future of education and the
role the next generation will play here
because of the example we set," said
Elliott.
He said the board, the community
and the nation can't continue to do
"less for more" but must strive to do
"more for more".
The Blyth trustee was acclaimed to
another year as board chairman.
Trustees either felt he was the best
man for the job or others had no in-
terest in the position and Elliott was
unchallenged for the .job. Two voters
were required to name a vice-
chairman for the board when Goderich
trustee Dorothy Wallace and Brussels
representative Donald McDonald were

McDonald got the nod by a narrow
margin. - r
Elliott was cited by the board for his
work in 1978, a difficult year for the
board. Past chairman Herb Turkheim
presented Elliott with a gavel honoring
his work and said 1978 was one of the
"most difficult years this board has
ever faced". Turkheim said the
teachers strike, the closing of McKiIlop
school and the "great book debate" had
forced Elliott to "put up with a lot".
Elliott responded telling the board he
had learned a great deal in the year as
chairman and had been "blessed with
an ulcer".
The Blyth trustee reminded board
members they were "here as elected
individuals to represent the com-
munity". He said they were a "board of
directors and must establish policies
and programs that should enable each
student to achieve the lot in life that we
desire for them".
"Do not operate individually but
collectively, he said. "Decisions of the
board are collective not individual".
Elliott said he wanted the board to
take a look at a revamped committee
system that he hoped`. would enable
trustees to work closer handling board
problems. He said.he felt the present
committee system was not functioning
and he wanted to propose changes.
The board now has five committees
• each with three members. The com-
mittees handle finances, school
curriculum, personnel, property and
student policies. Elliott proposed an
amalgamation of some committee
responsibility reducing the number of
committees to three, each with five
members. He said the three would be
education, which would be responsible
for curriculum and student policy,
management, which would be
responsible for spending, and a per-
sonnel committee which would be
responsible for personnel and salary
negotiations.
