With e student walk*out
being the highlight of sch►i,
events during die past week, we
thought we would use the pro-
.test as this week's "Students
Speak Out". In 'all fairness,.
we interviewed both partici-
pants and non -participants.
Many thanks go to Owen Curtis
who scouted around in the midst
of a snowstorm to bring you the
opinions of the protestors,

MONTY TEMPLEMAN said
he was, pt'otesting about the two-
week extension because o f ithe
money he was going to lose.
He stated that if the students
felt strongly enough about it
they should have, the nerve and
determination .to walk out and'
show the administration exact-
ly how .they felt.
KAREN SUTCLIFFE.said she
was protesting because of the
extra two weeks of school that
were being pushed on us. She
was against the students not
having any say in the matter.
It was her belief that the stu-
dents should have some com-
munication in the educational
system.
KATHY ELMES disagreed to
the extension because she help-
ed at home with the harvest
and haying at that time of the
year. The two extra weeks.of•
school would cut down the time
she would have available for
this work. She wondered why
the students should have to suf-
fer for the Department's deci- •
sions. •
DAVID GIBSON was protest-
ing because he claimed he'had.
less time to find a job. T w o
weeks off the -job means less
money. He also disagreed. be- .
cause the students are. left with
only one week to write their
exams. . -

How did theta'Cpayeri feel
about the situation? - Well, we

felt, but Owen can tell you '
what one sld, le thought that

the purpou ,ridiculous;
many of die 'S udents were under
16 and couidn t work under the
present laws of Ontario. It seem-
ed ridiculous' drat some: of the
students protesting were using -
snowmobiles. They obviously
didn't need stiiinmer work. He
thought that the teachers ap-
peared to have,,played a very •
passivevrole. "He thought that
teachers of louses grades should
have used their influence to
convince the�students of the
foolishness of their protest.

While Owen was shivering
out there in rhe stor m with the
protestors, John and I had an
easier task, -conducting inter-
views in the warmth of the
school. This is what we learn-
ed. - •
John asked one of the visit-
ing actors what he thought of
the walk -out, John Evans, who
hails from •Toronto, admitted
that the protestors weren't do-
ing anything -constructive; how-
ever, it was a good step. He '
stressed the importance of stu-
dents voicing their opinions. It
is a good thing for the people
who feel strongly about the •
situation because a person has
to arrest his own individuality.
Any action is good if it is back-
ed by a strong belief. What
Mr. Evans stood up for was that
the students had the nerve to
"question" what was happening
to them. He thought that was
„ edt;.�,fie soli t' tiedettat3ly'•",

Wralkg8uithie'�vacllt=o'n't r3'as"
an unconstructive, perhaps im-
mature, way of questioning, ,
yet it -WAS. a first step. •
tYNDA JAMIESON was a
non -protestor because she
couldn't find a good enough '
reason; to go out in that Weath-
er.
M4 Y CZEI-NIAWSKI • said
the world is so full of greater .
problems that it was ridiculous
to make this soundso big._
DAVID LANGRJDGE did stay
in long . enough to see the ac-
tors perforrn, however, . he
thought he Would go out later.
Why? Because he wanted to
get out o'f some school, and•he`
thou tit might 'do some good.

No Achnii. ion Charge
dents would be III the, sa
uation for getting Jobs through*
out the province. He was against
the walk -out because there are
better•ways'of raising aeona-
motion about suoh a problem....
BARB LEWIS had been out
earlier, but she returned to the
warmth of the school. She par-
tiaily believed in the walk -out,
but she believed that it had
lost its purpose. Nf any of the
students had gonejdowntown.
JANIS SCHXNE remained 111
school because she didn't think .
it would do much good and it
seemed°senseless to. go out in
the cold.
BOB BLACK -didn't protest
since he worked on a farm and
was paid the same wages all
the time. The extra two weeks •
wouldn't affect him very great-
ly. It was also his belief that
little would be accomplished
by such a demonstration.
MARY GIBSON said that it
wouldn't get the protestors any-
where. She didn't particularly
want to get pneumonia for a
'lost cause. She wasn't neces-
sarily against the idea Qf a walk-
out if there was a greater
chance of success..
KATHY KASHENKO claim- .
ed it was a childish way to _
demonstrate. The administra-
tion has made certain conses-
sions for us such as lowering the
exemptions mark to60% and the
students should be thankful for
what they are offered. Lots of
the students will be getting out
of at least one or two exams. so
why should they grumble about
two weeks?
NANCY SCHWARTZENTRUB-
ER said the demonstrationshow-
ed mass selfishness. Why con -•-
tribute to people who- are de-
voted - to themselves? It wouldn't
do any good since there were
too many sheep and not enough
leaders.
RENNAE McKENZIE didn't
take part in the demonstration
eithe s. She felt�that •nog results
would-be achieved.
FRAI CESsWHITE;;;whore-
turned to school before the'first
hour was completed, said she
agreed with what the protest-
ors stood for, but she didn't
think It would be any good*
unless they stayed out there
forever, which they wouldn't
do.' •
•
AUDREY COULTES was also
a non -protestor. She didn't be-
lieve that the walk -out would
do any good. Their only argu-
ment seemed to be money and
they wouldn't really lose that
much. Unless all the school
walked out it would not be a
success. If the administration
has to mark exams in one and '
a half weeks, Audrey felt they
will be more lenient in letting
the students out of writing.
MELANIE HARRIS said that
manyof the protestors were

- NEW. WASHROOM.
Reeve Jack Alexander gaye
details about the proposed ren-
ovation of the ladies' wash-
room and lounge at the 'town
hall. Many complaints have
been received. about the un-
wholesome condition of the
present basement toilet area
and it was decided that a com-
plete plan of modernization
would be the only remedy. He
submitted as .estimate of about
$2650 to cover removal of the
toilets and basins from the
basement to the'main floor ,
complete redecoration'of the
. present waiting room and con-
- of a sanitary wash-
room with tile finish.
Council moved to give the
property committee approval to
proceed with the work at once.
William Harris, chairman of
the recreation committee, said
that no..less than three meetings
of the coitttunity.'s recreation
brganizatfofl1 d. been called in
recent, weeks and each time
these gatherings had to be oan-
celled for lack of attendance.
As a, consequence, he said, no
progress is being made in solv-
ing the problems which face
.,'this department. Council of-
fered itsfull support for a de-
mand that the recreation group
organize on a systematic basis
with meeting dates pre-set and
properly attended. -
A building permit in the
amount of $19,000 was issued
for the erection of a residence
on Shuter Street and another
for $8, 000 for the erection of
a storage shed at the Lloyd -
Truax property in the north -
ward.
There was some discussion
about the fact that building
permits are not being properly
filled out by the building in-
spector. Reeve Alexander said
that the permits must contain
all the necessary information
required by the Publi Utilities
Commission, and tl a[ a copy
of the permit must be
ed to the county construction
safety inspector or Goderich. .
,The latter procedure is now re-
quired by provincial law.
Before adjournment an of-
