How to pass an exam
By Paul Hartman
Yes, even though we
hate to think about it it's
that time of year again.
In seven days we'll all be
knee deep in exam
papers. We prayed and
prayed for that one
snowstorm which would
keep us out of school for
the needed six days. But
it never came, and now it
looks as though second
term ,exams are going to
be written for the first
time in three years.
Of course, the only
reason you are reading
this is, not because of my
fabulous flair as a writer,
but because this year
you're going to try to pass
your first exam (in 23
tries).'
Now the first thing to do
is get organized. No last
minute cramming this
time, you've got to get
started right now.
Before you do anything,
you've got to get the notes
that you missed - namely
all of them. So when
everybody's looking the
other way, steal ... er,
borrow somebody's
notebook.
Okay you're all set to
get started. Go home and
turn the TV or stereo up
to full volume. Wear
some earplugs so you
won't disturb anybody
else. Now, what's the best
way to study? Some
experts say the best thing
to do is to study for 20
'minutes and then relax
and do something you like ,
for five. But I say it's
better to study for five
minutes and then relax
for. 20 so you don't lose
your concentration.
After a week, of this,
you'll probably have
gotten through the first
three pages _ of notes so
contrary to what I said
earlier, you're going to
have to do some last
minute cramming.
Turn off the stereo,
your mother or any other
distracting noise.
Remove your earplugs
and for two full hours
study very hard,
repeating everything
over and over in your
mind. After this done, go
to bed and get a good
night's sleep, still
repeating everything in
your mind. Rise early in
the morning and study for
another hour before going
to school.
If this recipe...I mean
method, is followed
completely you should
have no trouble passing -
But remember if you still
feel unsure, there's
always old faithful - the
cheat note.
Big Brother's investigation
Howdy! Well most of
the news for this week is
centred*on the teachers
so read and enjoy !
While Mr. P was away
last Friday, things got a
little out of hand In one of
his classes. Apparently
some of the guys from
Math 450 threw the lec-
turn out the window
which plummeted to the -
ground, two stories
below. Ay-ta go boys, try
for the teacher next time!

Basketball teams
play in Kingham
Last Tuesday,
February 20, our three
basketball teams com-
peted against F. E.
Madill from Wingham. In
the midget game, we
were slighted by a 37-32
score. Against Norwell
S.S. in Palmerston our
youngest team was again
defeated, but the score
was not quite as close, 62-
30. On February 27,• the
Midget team went to the
Huron -Perth tournament.
Results were not
available at press -time.
In Junior play, aur
team whumped Wingham
58-35. Jeff Schmidt scored
16 points and John Elliot
11. In Palmerston, CHSS
fought rigourously, but
fell apart, in the last
quarter and were
defeated 60-46. Jeff Sch-
midt was ' again high
scorer, what's more, he
led the team with a
season total of 196 points.
In the senior division,
the Wingham Mustangs
were victorius, walking
away !with an em-
barrassing 54-28 score.
Joe Verberne. was high
scorer with nine points.
In Palmerston, the
Redmen were victorious.'
The only problem was it
was the Norwell Redmen,
not the Central Huron
Redmen. The score
rallied back and forth
during the game but
when the final buzzer
went, Norwell held the
biggest lead they had all
game and won with a
final score of 45-40. Joe
Verberne and Terri
Wheeler both scored 16
points.
Joe Verberne finished
the season with an an-
noying 223 points in 15
games, Mike Thomson
was second with 100
points, followed closely
by Terri Wheeler with 98

Maclsaac with 80 and
Max Mieir with 60 points.
Huron -Perth
volleyball
Last Thursday the
Junior Redwomen at-
tended the Huron -Perth
Championship held in St.
Marys.
Unfortunately, as they
were unable to win any of
their games, they
finished in sixth place.
The team would Iike to
thank Miss Burch for her
help through the season.
making -strange gestures
with his hands at his
students. Oh well, Mr. H,
it's good to hear that
you've turned up your
volume this week!
Most of you have
probably noticed the four
legged creature (with the
hairy lip) roaming about
the halls lately. Is this the
latest in ski equipment
Mr. R?
Last Wednesday
participation period
brought about some
excitement, tension,
agony and humiliation
during the guys vs. the
girls volleyball game.
The girls proved to be too
much and came off with
the victory. getter luck
next time men!
On his return journey
from Guelph a couple of
weeks ago, Mr. S.
Somehow lost his sense of
direction and continued
on his merry way west on
the 401. Watch out 'for
those tollgates Mr. S!
That's all for now. Let's
see some really strange
stunts from the students
next week! Bye Bye.

Tramp champs awe students
On February 27 most of
the students of CHSS
were bedazzled by the
humorous antics and
superbly executed stunts
of the internationally
acclaimed, Toronto
based, Tramp Champs. A
45 minute demonstration
was performed by
Durango (Clyde) Coy,
coach and manager, and
Frank Neglia, the 1975
Canadian Trampoline
The boys' curling team from CHSS will be on their way to the WOSSA com-
petition in London on March 2. The winning team includes, front row, left to

Curling team to WOSSA
• A team which has
received very little at-
tention so far, but is
probably the most win-
ning team we have, is the
CHSS curling team. The
team members are,Brian
Fulcaner, Dave Town-
send, Bill Gibson at skip
and John Coleman and
Ron Taylor taking turns
at lead.
Last December the
team went to "Curl
Canada" to compete but
were put out in the inter -
district finals by the+ likes
of Niagara Falls and St.
Catharines. In the
Ontario Curling
Association junior
tankards, the CHSS team
again won the district
title but were put out in
the inter -district com-
petition, this time by Port
Elgin. In the Ontario
Schoolboy Competition,
they were the victors for
our district again, but lost
to Owen Sound in the next
level.
t,nampion.
Durango has been
coaching and managing
the Tramp Champs since
he organized them 20
years ago. Originally a
springboard diver, he
turned to the trampoline,
"because I didn't have to
keep swimming back to
shore".
He enjoys touring the
continent and performing
on the tramp because,
"It's a lot easier than
working".
The routine they
performed for CHSS and
Seaforth and Exeter high
schools was developed
last year while they were
on tour down in the
United States.
Tuesday marked the
third time the Tramp
Champs have appeared
in CHSS and they have
been a great success
every time.

At inter -school com-
petitions which the team
is used to, our curling
Redmen won the title for
Huron easily. In Huron -
Perth, they placed second
behind Stratford Nor-
thwestern. They now
move onto the W.O.S.S.A.
competition in London.

Battle of the sexes
Last week another
skirmish in the never
ending battle between the
sexes was held between
the members of the
senior boys and girls
volleyball teams.
The guys team began
with several good volleys
to take the lead.
However, their self-
assurance was destroyed
when the girls team tied
the score early in the
game. Both , teams.
worked hard and the
score remained close but
finally the girls team, in

second place speaker was
Julie Armstrong. These
speakers will go to
