"I have taught phys. ed., business practice and his- tory but I like English best. You could say that I have narrowed my horizons." Which grade do you- find the' most pleasure to teach? "I like the different grades for different reasons. The grade nines are fun to teach because I can mother them, ask them if they made their* beds and they are so inno- cent. I enjoy teaching grade 12 students because they are like adults and are blooming authors to me." If you had not become a teacher what other field would you have gone into? "Nothing else, except a do- mestic engineer." Could you define what teaching means to you? "To teach is to lead stu- dents through life with all its opportunities and help them to appreciate the world. I be- lieve that the little quotation on my coffee cup says it all: 'Learning is a pleasure; teaching is a joy."' What do you believe is the correct age for a teacher to retire? "There isn't one but then I wouldn't want to decide that for anyone else." What else has been the highest point in your teaching career? "The fact that I have taught successful writers like Alice Munro or times when my students win aagk tests for their writing ab.. y or when they respond with enthusiasm to a piece of literature Does it bother you when a student from your class fails? "Yes, because I like to see people succeed at what they attempt especially those who could have done the work and did not. I am upset when people do not meet their po- tential ; do not achieve the best that they can." • such illnesses as cancer, there is a cure for obesity: balanced diet and exerelee- If you are among those who are overwieght, or on the° verge of being so, you should search for a plan that will help you trim down that un- wanted guest and prevent from clinging forever.

Only they'll be thinner: Book re vie w Where Eagles Dare BY CLINT PEWTRESS Although Where Eagles Dare has been on the market for a few years now I feel it hasn't received the credit it really deserves. In this novel Allistair Mac- Lean shows a flare for de- scription and accuracy for which he is famous, taking the reader first from cold and foggy England to the snow covered , . Bavarian Alps. From the beginning of the story a strange cloak of mys- tery envelopes the plot and its characters. The story and plot move at a breathtaking pace until the final few pages when MacLean does an ,ex- cellent job of tying together the string of events that make the story such a grip- ping one: The general plot is that of murder and spies in the British intelligence service; and a deadly charade that is to completely trick the war- lords of Germany. MacLean has done an excellent job of weaving fear, confusion and the ' arrogance of Hitler's elite. Where Eagles Dare is one of MacLean's many breath- taking books! —Clint Pewtress, 9111 In my opinion We need friends Groan, creak, groan... The bed moaned in protest as I tossed and turned, but to no avail. With a sigh I bur- rowed even deeper into my covers. In an effort to get to sleep I began to count sheep. M 4:50 I stopped. I tried thinking about something happy. No luck. No matter. what I did I couldn't get 'her' out of my mind. She was a girl in some of my classes. It didn't matter what anyone .did or said, when a question was asked, either by another student, or by a teacher, she would give Grapevine It's time' for all ghosts, goblins, punk rockers and any other scary creatures to put away their masks or colored hair for another year.

It bothered me. Don't ask why. It just did. I often wondered what went through her head every time she did this. Just then, disturbing my thoughts, I felt sonie- thin cold o ld and wet touching my foot. Peering under the sheets, I saw two amber eyes reflecting the moon from my window. It was Scrappy, my Orange tabby. 1 rolled over, trying to ignore him, but it did no good. Scraps began to tickle my toes with his whiskers. Finally, too tired to be amused, I gave him a bunt on the nose with. my foot. In reply, Scraps just wriggled his way up through the layers of sheets and placed his head beside mine on the pillow, looking at me with large sad eyeswhich seemed to say "Be my friend?" In spite of myself, I giggled and gave him a pat. He began to purr and closed his eyes con- tentedly. Soon the purring stopped, replaced with soft snores. Suddenly I understood. Maybe the girl in my class just needed a friend. I de- cided the next time I saw her l would smile to her. And with a little luck . . . just maybe ... she might smile back. —Bonnie Burchill PURPLE CHASER "Today is the rest day of the first of your life." —1. M. Confused MRS.

By avoid- ing purchase of items manu- factured by the Nestle com- pany and other companies controlled by it, we can make our objections to their actions felt. In the poor countries of the Third World, free samples of infant formula are given to mothers of new babies, who are discouraged from breast feeding their infants. Due to poverty and poor sanitation, the families cannot continue to purchase the product and when it is diluted with con- taminated water, it results in serious health problems and death. Plans were discussed for the bazaar and tea to be held - November 14. ' The meeting closed with - prayer, grace was sung and lunch served by the hostess. R. W.
