Well, now that two weeks
of the new school year have
passed by, it's high time to
get the weekly Chronicle
back in print So many ac-
tivities have been getting
underway that I'm sure
there will be plenty of news
from Central Huron Secon-
dary School (CHSS) in this
space throughout this new
st
school year.
Anyway, the halls of CHSS
came alive again on Sept. 6
with the beginning of the
1983-84 school year. Enrol-
ment remained at about 850
this fall, and this seemed like
a lot of people when
everyone was milling around
in the halls on the first day of
school. As usual, on the day

all se
of the return to school, most
people found themselves
very busy keeping up with a
new timetable of classes.
The second day of, school
saw a certain return of
organization to CHSS. An
assembly was held m the
morning, and then it was a
regular day of school. For
some this even meant the
first dose of homework for
the year!
Homeroom represen-
tatives for Students' Council
were elected on Sept. 9. The
following Monday the first
full Council meeting was
held. This year's Students'
Council executive, which
was elected this past spring,
is as follows: president, Lori
Hayter; vice president, Lori
Souch; treasurer, Elain Pen-
nings; secretary, Lori
Schmidt.
During the remainder of
last week, many club and
sports activities got under-
way. On Friday, the Senior
Redmen Football Team
travelled to Hanover to play
an exhibition game.
Although the result of the
game was a disappointing
27-0 loss for Central Huron,
we can still count on the
team to make a good show-
ing in the regular season as
they pin more experience.
The first few weeks of
school have been busy, and

How the awards and
bars system operates
For those of you who do not
know much or anything of
how to accumulate seals in
order to get an award; either
minor, major, or double ma-
jor, then we hope to over-
come your doubts.
In past years students
were given bars in recogni-
tion of participating at least
20 hours in a club or team.
However, due to economics,
the Awards and Bars Com-
mittee (ABC) last year
decided to change over to a
seals and certificate type ar-
rangement.
For every club that a stu-
dent joins, they will receive
a seal if they participate
loyally in that club. The
number of clubs and teams
found at CHSS are
numerable. For a list of
these clubs and teams just
look them up m the ABC
Club's display which is found
across the hall from the
Guidance Office.
If you take a fancy to
something, be sure to join as
the CHSS Grade 13 motto is
"the more, the merrier!
(and crazier)". After all, so-
meone has to carry on for us
when we're gone!

Why, you may ask, am I
doing a movie review in a
MUSIC column? Because I
feel that this movie has a lot
to do with music. The Com-
ing Attractions clip shows
Tom Cruise dancing wildly
to Seger's Old Time Rock
and Roll.
The moral of the movie is
very simple. "Sometimes
you've got to say, What the
... heck. What the heck gives
you freedom. Freedom gives
you opportunity, opportunity
makes your future." Tell
that to your parents as an ex-
cuse for gravel -running!
This flick is loaded with
music. Music written for the
film was done by Tangerine
Dream. There were works
by the Police, Bob Seger,
Bruce Springsteen, Journey,
Prince and Phil Collins.
The sound quality is ex-
cellent. Risky Business was
released by the Giffen Com-
pany, which has a branch in
record distributing.
Of all the movies for teens
this summer such as Private
School, and Class, Risky
Business is by far the best.

A survey of 750 high school
students, conducted in
Fergus, Ontario, revealed
that those aged 15 and 16
seemed to have lower
aspirations than any other
age group, says Professor
Douglas Pletsch.
In general, aspirations
were higher for female
students and students whose
parents had high aspiration
occupations.
The terms high and low
aspirations are based on a
scale developed by
American sociologist Ar-
chibald Haller of Michigan
State University in the 1960s.
Essentutglly, the distinction is
between' white collar and
blue collar positions, says
Prof. Pletsch.
The ages of 15 and 16 seem-
ed to be critical for rural
youth - those from farms
and those living in town - ac-
cording to the study. Most in
this group have low aspira-
tions because they are
frustrated and don't know
where they're going, Prof.
Pletsch speculates.
Before 15 and after 16,
their goals appear more
clearly defined. This may be
because of the emotional tur-
moil of gaining in-
dependence, getting their
driver's license and giving
priority to activities that are
more fun than scholastics,
he says. Another possibility
is that their aspirations may
have been influenced by the
poor economic outlook when
the study was conducted.
While parents' occupa-
tions and education in-
fluence a child, schooling
and extra -curricular ac-
tivities are also important in
shaping goals.
students entering high
school with unproven
capabilities and less precise
goals are often put into the
four-year stream, says Prof.
Pletsch, resulting in
subsequent lower aspira-
tions than those in the five'-
year
ive=year program. -
Children growing up in
large rural families appear
to benefit most from organiz-
ed extra -curricular ac-
tivities, but are often
prevented by money and
time.
"The outside exposure
gained through community
activities is important in
leadership development,"
explains Prof. Pletsch. "The
young person learns to feel
at ease with other people - a
characteristic which is im-
portant in further education
or in aspiring to a higher oc-
cupational level."
While church activities
and community sports are
positive experiences, many
rural youth spend their
spare time "cruising" up
and down streets in cars.
"The link between 'cruis-
ing' and low aspirations is a
vicious circle," says Prof.
Pletsch. "It's hard to say
which comes first."
Prof. Pletsch says urban
children often have negative
attitudes about rural
children and their
capabilities. These attitudes
are out-of-date, he says,
because onnortunities for
development and education
skills are equally available
and the skills needed to
operate a modern cointner-
cial farm are comparable to
those needed to operate a
small business in town.
He admits that he is con-
cerned about the aspiration
scale. "Because a rural per-
son's aspirations are
somewhat lower than his ur-
ban counterpart's, he's not
any less of an individual or
contributor to society," says
Prof. Pletsch. "Because
high suggests better, the •
aspiration scale implies that
a low aspiration is less
desirable, but this is not
necessarily so. People who
dig ditches, farm or become
lawyers are all essential to
the functioning of a society
and one is not necessarily
more orless valuable than
the other."
Prof. Pletsch feels there is
definitely a need for more
counselling for 15 and 16 -
year -old students in rural
high schools, and more
meaningful community ac-
tivities for students with low
aspirations.
ess,:uith flair with ease
The trend to feminine, fit-
ted styles focuses on the
waistline, making belts the
single most important ac-
cessory, says Margaret
Loewen, clothing and tex-
tiles specialist for the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, rural organiza-
tions and services branch.
Belts can be expensive but
by choosing one which can
be worn with more than one
outfit, the cost per wearing is
reduced. The many types for
1983 include leathers, sash
styles, textured fabrics and
the multi -look -more than
one belt worn at the same
time.
Shoes are another impor-
tant part of the summer
fashion scene with lots of low
styles and hot colors
available, especially red.
Canvas and linen looks are
popular, with heel heights
varying from very low to
very high.
Colored hose can be fun to
wear, and pale grey or ivory
hose are good shades for
summer, she says. Blend
hose with the color of your
clothes, or contrast hose and

hose appears elsewhere in a
belt of scarf.
Summer fabrics should be
cool. Choose natural fibres
such as cotton, silk and linen
because these absorb
moisture and leave.skin feel-
ing dry. Many of these
natural fibres do wrinkle
badly, so blends of cotton
and polyester, linen and
rayon, or silk and polyester
have better easy -care
qualities.
White, black and cream
are most popular colors for
hot weather dressing this
year. While white is harder
to keep clean and fresh, it is
also versatile and teams up
with almost any accessory.
