Clinton News-Record, 1980-11-08, Page 19Steve Corbett, this week's player of the week, runs six days a week to keep in shape. (CHSS photo) Player of the week'�' Steve Corbett, a cross country runner, is also involved in the track events of 100 and 400 metre hurdles. Steve, who lives in Seaforth, practises six days a week leaving only one day for rest.. His practises run from 13, to 2 hours in length and sincepractises- are ..:usually- after sehnol:-he,z-. . gets a ride home with Mr. Ludwig his coach. . Steve started these sports in Grade 8 and this year in Grade 11 is his fourth year. He picked these sports because he enjoys the competition and recognition that he gets for himself and his schtol. From these sports he also gets enjoyment, an opportunity to do his best and compete against others. Steve thinks that more students do not get . in- volved insors t because they are afraid they cannot do better than others- so -do not -try. --Also,- - Reed Career Service by Paul Hartman You've undoubtedl seen Howie Meeker oh the tube lately pushing something called Reed Career Service. If you, don't know what Reed Career Service is, it's simply a Canadian Company engaged in the creation and "distribution of career awareness material to, assist students who are in the process of-making-eareer decisions. Reed offers a video cassette system complete with 137 cassettes which bring the viewer face to face with people from hundreds of different professions. The Com- pany believes (and rightly so) that the decision of choosing a career is probably one of the most important ones you'll ever make. Therefore this decision should be made with extreme care and Reed thinks that the system will aid students in making this decision. I spoke with Mr. Gord Smith the head guidance omical counsellor at C} $$ to get his viewpoint on the system. The first thing thatlMr. Smith stressed was that the price .tag (ap- proximately $7,500) would make the purchase of the system almost impossible for this school. He did however mention that if enough public pressure .was exerted tira " p�sstbiy� could be a chance that a system could be bought and shared among the five Huron County Schools. Despite the price Mr. Smith is all in favor of the system and after the viewing a sample of it says it is of very high quality. My basic viewpoint of the system has to be a positive one. What better way to introduce career resource material than. with today's most papular medium of video. Itis my pin'on that the Huron C un y school board sh ld seriously Cuties people do :not w-a�nt to :g4 thu � .h.. th ._h.. .1 f.,..-Y�,_.,-. ., .: .�.�..,..., �.. .w..: ro g e ass es o training. Steve feels that to be good at a particular sport you have to train. Finally, Steve says that more school spirit can be achieved among students if they get greater recognition. Sports scene Junior girls basketball Last Thursday, the junior girls basketball team travelled to Stratford where they were defeated by Stratford Northwestern. The girls struggled through player ab- senteeism in losing by 12 points. On Monday, the team compensated for their loss in ' Stratford by beating a weak ` team from Seaforth by a score of 37-24. The high scorers -were Donna Horner with 13 points and Lorrie Mann with 9 points. Senior girls basketball By Chris Carter On Monday, November 3, the senior girls basketball team played the Seaforth girls at C.H.S.S. Without their coach, Mr. Howard being present at the game, the girls found it difficult to perform to their fullest ability. Though they fought well, they found their shooting capacity less advanced than that of the Seaforth team, losing 54- 14. - Cross Country The London Ski Club was the site of the cross country OFSA meet held on November 1, .1980. k Lori Souch was the midget girl represen- tative for Central Huron. In a field of over 230 girls, Lori ran 22nd. This placement put her ahead of 4 of the 5 girls who beat her in WOSSA, including the WOSSA Champion. Lori ran the 3,2 kilometer race in a personal best time of 15 minutes, 21 seconds. C.H.S.S. is very iiroud• of Lori Souch for her great performance of the All Ontario' Wanted Your support on Monday -- -On Thursday -October 30, the students of Central Huron Secondary School were treated to the dazzling antics of the California Cuties. This group of bounding beauties played an ac- tion -packed game of basketball. This group of univer- sity and college graduates were not as good as "The Harlem Globetrotters" but they put on a very good show. While the teachers played the California Cuties, the riotous sounds of laughter from audience filled the gymnasium. The high points of the game cen- tered around Mr. Howard, who _ was checked, knocked down, and was on the bottom of Quiz Time Again A rabbit and a turtle start a -long race across the county. The race route is 100 km long. I f 11_ The rabbit "travels- half the remaining distance each day, and 2)1 The Turtle Travels 2 km each day then who will win the race? (Answer next week). +++ How did everyone do with the number series? Great? Here's the series again: 9, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7. The next number is 6. Notice that the first, third, fifth numbers decrease (9,8,7). The seventh number in the series should be 6. Every other number starting with the second term in the series is 7, and -7 should be the the pile up. The California Cuties used many of the tricks which have been established as classics such as, throwing water on the other team, joking around with members. of the audience and making the . whole game a laughing matter. All in all, the game was well worth the admission price and the match was very entertaining. consider the purchase of such a. system no znattt;r what the cost may. be. It could prove invaluable to hundreds of students' futures.
