so do my helpful allies. However,
everyone was on his good behaviour
so much last week 'that there _wasn't
:anything to write about, so needless
to say, The Schopl News was, not
written last week. The general ap-
pearance of S.R.S. for the first few
days of school after the holidays
',closely resembled that of •a morgue,
and with just about as muchfun and
-merriment. In the interests of my
job, at least, raise enough call}, to
keep tiger mortis from setting in.
I was afraid that the aforemention-
ed rigor mortis had already taken
hold of one of the more venerable
-members of Fourth Form the other
'day, when a hideous squeaking sound
was heard, apparently associated with
his breathing apparatus. Upon being
politely requested to stop squeaking,
by the teacher too, he stopped, and
slowly. -turned purple, whether be-
cause be bad also stopped breathing
or because he was choking from
laughter, 1 couldn't tell, Anyway,
don't be surprised if anyone calls you

It Finally Happened!

Collegiate basketball teams were at
the High School last Friday afternoon
to, play two scheduled games, and
wonder•of wonders, Seaforth won 'em
both! The boys' ijnrnior testi scored
their way to a slightly amazing 49-10
triumph, and the girls' team went all
out and managed a 28-21 win. . Ron
Sills and Jin. Chapman sparked . the
Seaforth attack, netting 17 . and 12
points, respectively. The Seaforth
players, with -their individual point

While we're in the business, we
might as well tell you about the oth-
er basketball game at S.H.S. This
one is scheduled for Friday night,
Jan. 16. The principals are two
groups of players (they. certaidly are
not teams) and it is a challenge af-
fair. The High School crew is made
up of the "old men" (those too old
to play junior) and anybody else that
wanders In. Their opponents will, be
a collection of characters, tentatively
titled "The,_Main Street Mice," among)
other WHAT?? Last year `a team
from the High School played them,
when they called themselves the
"Ex -Grads." While their personnel
has changed somewhat, it still ap-
pears that the only place that they
all graduated from is kindergarten.
However, even that may be stretch-
ing things a little. Oh well, on with
the show.
Behind Those Swings Doors
As everyone knows, there are
swinging doors at the boys' entrance.
These have beea the cause of a foul
practise which is highly amusing to
everyone except the victim (as us-
ual). Many boys walk to school with
what passes foi gills at &H.S. at's
a foolish habit, but it is said "Ignor-
ance is bliss"). To continue: Usual-
ly the boy opens the outer, non -
swinging door for his escort very po-
litely, then, choosing a propitious
moment, he forcefully propels her
through the "swinging doors." Many's
the head that would have been injur-
ed if there were anything but saw-
dust or old cloth or something in the
heads of the numerous giddy females
that have been observed entering the
"hallowed halls" .(joke) in this man-
ner., Why not take it easy, fellows?
Sooner or later we're going to hit one
with chairs, and it might be awfully
messy!

Now that two of the proposed open-
air rinks are in operation, we would
like to remind the parents that these
facilities are free for their children-,
and ask them to co-operate with those
in charge. We believe they -should in-
struct their children to use these facil-
ities offered to them and advise them
of the value of such in that it will
keep the children off the roads and;
will prove a grand form of recreation.
We feel if parents do this much, they
are helping in a worthy cause. They
will, we hope, respect the free facili-
ties and property and that they at all
times will play the game, and in do-
ing so it will prove to all that:
