For You",. I would simply '
like to state-tthat:allof it Was
-, , not quote true. The ' part 3t;'
about loving my. friends was
very true "and will always
last but. the part about
laughing' all the time was
exaggerated Slightly: A good
writer should always tell:°the
truth.'and here I have #ailed.
Being a teenager has
many ups and downs. Some-
times it • seems ;like ,it's
mostly downs; abut, we • all
-on
bh Ar
ane eroeens to
•drugs or drinking or grave
running. Some become loud
. and boisterousand cover up
their ,,true feelings. • - The
others withdraw into them
selves, in a world which lets
good thtitgs•in and keeps
things out.' .Then there. are
. the very fortunate few,. ,rho
keep things, under control
and don't seem to become
depressed or. loud.
But at this stage in out
lives; nil one really matters
more trips but we, ourselves
and that's the-Way°it should
Int* be. This;is themost difficult
titre of our :entire;li� es, the
teenage years, but:.also the
most happy and :.carefree
.years. - ..<•
The "growing" years
should be less strenuous, less
hectic, also fess demanding.
However, that's not the way
things tur,' out. We're so
busy with our lives,, growing
up, 'handling. our emotions,
trying to understand each
other and ourselves, that
school work, peer and parent
pressure, push us to the limit
at times. Perhaps this is why
teenage suicide is so high.
Many kids just can't handle
all the demands that go
along with adolescence.
There are many feelings of
"Why?" this and "Why?"
that; there are so many
things going on we want to
see,` do, experience, and
learn about that we can't
grasp it all and so we become
confused, worried and tired
of day to day living.
We can't very well hide in
our rooms, until we turn 20
years old. Think' of all the
things we'd miss out on, but
think also of the pain we
Would have caped. But,
perhaps we can learn some-
thing from all the trauma
and disappointment we have
faced. I don't really know.
Right now everything seems
pointless and useless, and
rightly so.
Teenagers today have
many more things to 'face
then our parents at our age.
Sure, they had to help on the
farm a lot and they didn't go
out as much, but life seemed
so much simpler then com-
pared to now. Those were the
days of guys giving the girl
dowers Were a date and fun
on a Saturday night Meant a.
barn dance or a hayride.
Maybe one reason teenage
years are so hard is that

The creative
writing club
The Creative Writing Club
in the past has produced a
number of creative writing
booklets. These booklets
have contained many ex-
cellent essays, lyrics, poems
and short stories from Grade
9 through Grade 13 and re-
flected the creative talent of
our student body.
It is hoped that this yearly
tradition of producing a
creative writing booklet will
be ,continued this year. A
nuniber of students already
have shown an interest. Still,
others have been submitted
food for thought, lines for
aughter and prose for pon-
dering.
Many more short stories,
Poems and essays are re-

Society today is the most

that is fast and efficient and

general population from the
Chocolate
bar drive
successful
The major fundraising
event of the year, the choco-
late bar drive, was held from
April 24 to May 4. This year's
contract was awarded to
Funds Unlimited of Hyde
Park and they provided the
student's council with al-
mond chocolate bars. This
year's fundraising campaign
was very successful and all
7 200 chocolate bars were
sold.
The tdp sellers in this
year's campaign were:
Sandy Morrison (201 bars),
Aileen Underwood (60 bars),
Mike McDougall (54 bars).
First prize for selling the
most bars was a $150 gift
certificate from Sears.
Second prize was an AM -FM
cassette recorder and third
prize was a clock radio.
We would like to thank the
students for their support for
this important fundraising
event. A special thanks is
given to the residents of the
area who -supported us by
buying the chocolate bars.

various tirlieS of media true?
This question has been
asked more frequently in the
last several months after the
Washington Post admitted
that one of its staff; Janet
Cooke, fabrieated a Pulitzer
Prize -wining story. It later
was revealed that Ms. Cooke
also had fabrieated her
credentials in order to get
the job on the Washington
Post.
The furor .over the legiti-
macy and accuracy of the
• media has increased through
some of the difficult cover-
age given to the presidential
assassination attempt and
the strife in Ireland. During
the aftermath of the
assassination attempt it was
boradcast that the presiden-
tial press secretary, James
Brady, had died; this later
proved incorrect. However
such coverage could have
had a serious effect on
society by causing panic or
fear concerning the vtalner-
a bility of the government.
In Ireland journalists have
been accused of either in-
citing or fabricating sen-
sational news stories to in-
terest the population. This
charge cannot be discounted
entirely by the media due to
some of the methods used by
reporters in obtaining news
items. For example, in Ire-
land an Anierican reporter
promised complete anony-
mity to a British soldier in
exchange for a story about
the disturbances caused by
children versus the soldiers.
In reaction to this article the
British press called it a
classic example of biased re-
porting designed to cause
ant i-Bril ish feeling. The
difficulty in 'counteracting
something like thit with a
. verification of. the Story,,,
that the' main eharacter Of
the story is anoitYmous ind
even if he did tell, who could
prove him wrong? •
Beyond the, quettion of
questionable methods of ob-
taining information lies the
question whether the re-
porter can be taken at his
word. So often one believes
beyond question that what is
transcribed through and by
the media occurred. What
can be believed? The repor-
ter, today, must be beyond
doubt and be of unshakeable
It is a difficult situation
trying to decide whom we
can or can't believe. Thus re-
porters have an incredible
responsibility to report
accurately and without bias
because the public often has
no choice but to believe what
is written. The viewers or
readers of the news media
have a responsibility, in
turn, not to accept anything
that is questionable and to
demand accuracy if not per-
fection. Today more than
ever. with stories of un-
settling practices in the busi-
ness, of reporting surfacing,
those in the media business
a re under fire.
The quickness and accur-
acy of the mass media is an
important influence on
society today. Thus. because
of this important influence,
members of the media must,
themselves. exainine what
they are doing. The media
can be a constructive tool or
a destructive bludgeon.
However used, it mustn't get
out of hand.
