When asked about her first week at Central Huron, Miss Rose replied, "I really like the school. There's a lot of school spirit!" New system underway New people are not the only things that are .new at CHSS. The provincial legislature has many changes now in effect. This year's Grade 9 students will be the first who will have the opportunity to achieve their honour diplomas in four years rather than the five years it has taken in the past. There are some additional compulsory courses as well. Attendance will play a mu^h greater role i :etude is• marks this year. If a tettehei' fee ,a student has missed too many classes ifoUr to seven) unnecessarily a warning system goes into effect Which might result In the removal of the student from his/her Class. - - Students are also required to have -the following mandatory b nmunizations or they may face suspension: Tetanus, polio, whooping cough, diptheria, mumps, measles, and German measles (rubella). The exam schedule has changed dramatically this year as well. Examina- tions will be held in December and June on- ly. This is due to a limit of 15 exam days,. Last year there were problems running the necessary exams in that amount of time. .Students will not be required to write June exams if they obtain a course average of 66 per cent or above. Senior Redmen are on Huron -Perth football warpath By Dan Reidy Last week, the senior Redmen of CHSS began yet another season with renewed hopes of great success to offset last season's less than auspicious performance. On September 11 they travelled to Parkhill for an exhibition scrimmage. Here the Redmen were given their first test of ability as.a team after the inception of a new I -formation offence and a new group of am- bitious young rookies to complement the veteran core, many of whom have played for the last four years. The Parkhill scrimmage was comprised of an arrangement whereby each .team would have an opportunity to run 10 plays in a row before turning over the ball. Central Huron was given first ball and they im- mediately took'advantage as they marched down the field in their first six plays and scored their first touchdown in two years of competition, with George Whittaker runn- ing it in on a reverse. The convert attempt failed but the Redmen were well in the groove and confide/10)f a win. - The Redmen denied the Parkhill offence a scoring opportunity in their first possession until the next to last play and it proved to be their only score of the afternoon. ' In their next three possessions the. Redmen managed twomore touchdowns by Darryl Hoegy and Austin Roorda to leave the score at 18-6. Over all the Redmen were jubilant at their first victory in a long dry spell and were determined to redouble their efforts to continue their win streak. On September 14 the Redmen once again demonstrated their new found power with a come from behind victory over the visiting team from Hanover. The game started off well for the Redmen as they marched the ball deep into Hanover territory before ic- ing forced to turn the ball over. A strong op- position offence then managed to move the ball back down the field only to punt it away for a 'touchback and the first point of the afternoon. Central Huron once again °took possession of the ball but was forced to turn it over at midfield. Hanover then came back for the first major -score of the afternoon: In the second quarter Hanover rallied for two more field goals to leave the score 14-0 at the half. However, the Redmen were not to be denied and they came right back in the third quarter to bring the score to 14-8 on a T.D. by Austin Roorda and a convert. Then after some difficulties the Redmen forced a tur- nover and the offence managed to recoup a single point to.leave the score at 14-9 going into the fourth quarter. Then in the fourth quarter after a series of turnovers on both sides the. Redmen exploded and gained their second major score with another run in by Austin Roorda, leaving the score at 15-14 for the remaining three minutes of the after- noon. Once again the Redmen proved that they are a force to be recognized, even at this early juncture. With their first two victories under their belts the team members eagerly await their next game against Listowel on Thursday the 27th in Listowel. • But as well as talent and team spirit, any school team needs a certain measure of school support in their endeavours. It was nice to see about 20 loyal fans venture forth to watch the game at various stages of the afternoon. It would be nice to see a few more of those sceptics who goaded on last season's performance turn out to see us play.
