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.

I Exeter, Blyth, Walkerton a a, sc :r t 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.

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!

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. Rock trivia Here are some more rock questions for you to tease your knowledge with.

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.

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.
