The Huron Expositor, 1982-09-29, Page 19Trhg thoin@eficgt THE HURON EXPOSITOR, Full slate of activities planned at Seaf�rth District High Grade nine students were officially welcomed to SDHS on Tuesday. September 21. Students marched into the gym where they were auc. tioned off like cattle to the highest bidder. They certainly were "grubby grade niners" in their initiation attire. The girls wore long johns, a shoe box on one foot and a rubber boot on the other, a white T-shirt, football lines under their eyes. moustache and a diaper with a garbage bag underneath. For the guys, attire consist- ed of a shoe box on one foot and a high -heeled shoe on the other, a diaper with rubber pants (a garbage bag), made- up face, - nailpolish on both hands and feet, curlers in their hair complete with a bow, and 'bras worn on the outside of their clothes stuff- ed with tomatoes, • What a sight! Their outfits were complete with a sign that told everyone that this was a grubby grade nines. We asked a few grade nine students what they thought of the day. Here are their remarks: "I think it was fun but it got a little bit out of hand on the bus. I feel that it should be done as long as the school is running. It's a tradition!" said Carol Axtmann, 9D. "I think it was fun and smelly too. I also like taking part with the school, for our first year in SDHS", said Annette Siernon, 9A. In response to a few grade nine students' complaints, one grade 13 student said "ha think slave day is a good idea, It seems to bring the grade 9 students together as a part of the school. Everyone gets tia know the grade 9 students and grade 9 students get to know the seniors. Slave day has been kept under -control in the last three years that 1 have attended school. Noth- ing is as bad when comparing this year to the previous years , when the people that are in. grade 12 and 13 I know what happened to them in grade nine. It has really been controlled which I think is good," said •Janice Murray, 1'3B. -Tammy Driscoll -Elaine Dennis THE JUNCTION This year, the Midget Boys' Baseball team wow the W.O.A.A. championship.

In order to play the team had to qualify in Witigham and play a practice .round Friday at Sarnia.

Good luck team and bring. back a win, -Mary Brown THE STUDENT'S COUNCIL At the end of the 1981.82 school year, at S.D.H.S.,, students chose the students' council executives for the coming year. The president is Brendan Lane, Ron Godkin is vice-president, while Greg Hoggarth is second vice-pres- ident. Patricia Hackwell is secretary and Wilma Van Dyk treasurer. Social Convenor is Brad Campbell. Sept. 20 class executives were chosen from each home room to represent their class at meetings throughout the year. Since there has only been three weeks of school, the council has . not had adequate time to plan any definite activities for the future. Last week the student's council planned Student's Week with initiation day. summer day, and other activi• tics. A tabloid meet was held Friday, Sept. 24. Various campaigns such as selling oranges, apples, choc- olate bars and other numer• ous fund raising activities Newspaper club in full BY PATRICIA RIMMER I have been writing my column now for about three and a half years. During these year. I have tried many different styles and used many topics. However, I have noticed that 1 stick to four main areas of interest. These arc school, upcoming events, kids' thoughts and the wea• thcr. I use these again and again. From now on. I will no longer have to worry about writing about high school news, As you may have already noticed, there is a new section in this week's Huron Expositor. Entitled "Thc_,lunction". this is a section set aside for Seaforth District High School news. For a couple of years now I have tried to get up the energy to start a newspaper club again at SDHS. My excuses varied but 1 always found something to keep ti92 from starting this club, usually that 1 am just too busy. This year, 1 found no such excuse. So, we started the newspaper club that will he writing high school news for you to read every second week. PHOTOS TOO The club has approximate- ly 20 students in grades nine to 12. We are lacking in male reporters but the ones we do have arc very good, David Hook has agreed to take pictures to compliment what we write for the Huron Expositor. This will he a big plus since you won't just be able to read about the hap- penings of the school. you will be able to see them. Staff writers of The Junc- tion arc Lisa McClure. Sheila Van Dorp.

Mr. Howard has had some experience in the news- paper field and has been a great help to us. We will need him in this school year. Mr. Howard and Brian Chessell, both formerly of Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, are a big help in starting The Junction since the Clinton high school puts out an in•school news- paper called The Chronicle. The Chronicle is a very good paper complete with advertis- ing, letters to the editor. editorials, a sports page, an entertainment section. horo- have been planned'.

The council anticipates the challenge of making the 1982 - school year at S.O.H.S, a most interesting, . exciting and successful year. Students thank and con- gratulate'the•students' count cil from the past year for such a great job" --and wish the present student council all the best. •Debbie Hulley Sherri Bachert' SLAVE DAY The one thing that all grade niners really look forward to is slave day (ha-ha). The average slave pushes a dime around with his nose, sere- nades everyone in the cafe- teria„ and gets anything and everything put in his hair, Since I am sitting here in Science ISO doing nothin i. spectacular, 1 might as well tell you about niy slave day. I • ani surrounded by people in long underwear and diapers .who reek of perfume, shaving cream and eggs. They look even worse. 1 got on the bus Tuesday morning in long underwear, a diaper, a rubber boot and a shoebox. Immediately I had an egg smashed into my hair. This was followed by shaving cream, hair cream, several kinds of perfume and a mixture of water, barbecue sauce, ketchup and soap. Later on i got lipstick all over my face with more perfume, shaving cream, peanut butter and who knows what else. We got off of the bus at school and pushed pennies along the ground with . our noses while more, eggs were distributed. two of my friends and 1 were stld to my neighbour. She made us crawl to our lockers and then we went to our classes. 1 sat through typing, shedding dried up egg all over the keyboard and smelling like a perfume factory. 1 washed my hair and wiped off my football lines and moustache before lunch and changed my clothes. Now 1 only smelled like a couple of bottles of perfume. At IUnch time all 1 had to do was crawl from my locker to the cafeter- ia. ! really got off lucky. A lot of' grade ^niners had more stuff put on them. Some even had to crawl uptown and push dimes up the sidewalk on main street. Some grade nine stidents also proposed and swing at SDHS scopes. movie reviews. Dear Annies, many pictures, even a classified ad section and much more. DO OUR BEST Naturally. we can't put that much into the Huron Exposi- tor every week. but we are hoping to put together two or three editions of The Junction to be circulated in the school throughout the school year as well. It is hard to expect our newspaper to be as nice as The Chronicle but we are going to do our best. We have to start with a section in the Huron Expositor first and work up to our own paper. The news in The Junction this week is much better than I had anticipated at first, Getting this edition out was enough trouble; now I know how the Huron Expositor editor, Susan White feels when I hand a column into her late, Most editions of The Junction will be much like this. Perhaps, soon we will include extras such as Dear Annie. entertainment and others. We will give it our best shot and see how it works out. Now that you have read my column introducing The Junction. find this new sec- tion of your newspaper and give it a try. It just might give you an idea of what is going on at SDHS.

All in all Slave Day is something none off us will soon forget. Especially on Slave Days of the future. Cherryl Smith A NEW LOOK FOR S.D.H.S. The school has undergone a change in the year '82-'83 from the previous years. We have adopted a new and different system: the semes- ter system. This system •eopfbins two semesters for the year. The first' one runs from Septem- ber to February. Then the second semester goes through to the end of June. Seaforth District High School has never before taken on a semester system. It should prove to be an inter- estinj; year, although this year, is just a trial period. "I feel that- the semester system has its advantages and disadvantages. The dis- advantage is that all home- work has to be completed in one night. Most teatthets don't consider this. The ad- vantage is that the work you did one day won't be forgot- ten for next class on the following day. 1 feel that the old system was better in some ways but time will tell." says Tammy Driscoll, grade 12, It is understandable how Tammy and many others feel but the teachers have to teach a year's work in jest five months. Another advantage is that parents can return to school and finish their schooling. Not only parents but teen• agers who've already h h - ed high school may find they need a certain subject or two to get into college or univer- sity. Most students have four subjects throughout the whole semester. These are taught every day. Then, in the following semester. stu• dents are taught four differ- ent subjects. This allows some students to graduate in February after ;the -first se- mester. an advantagfor the students. After only a few weeks of the semester system, this is what another student, Mary Brown, had to say: "I dislike the semester system because of the diffi- culty in completing all assign- ments given by teachers. After three yearavof the old system, I find the semesters a very big change. I have all my harder subjects in one semes- ter which is a little difficult to handle." Most teachers, when asked about the semesters said that it was too early to say one way or the other. One of the teachers re- plied, "I voted against it, but I will accept the outcome off the vote." In my own opinion, the new system will take time to develop, so my thoughts are neither, negative . nor posi- tive. Obviously staff and the student body have not de- cided whether they are in favour of or against the semester system taken on by S.D.H.S. -Debbie Costello SEPTEMBER 29, 1982 — A19 School EGG ON YOUR FACE—This appealing but believe it or not of grade niners on slave day were done With them may not look very these are a couple after the seniors (Photo by Hook); Too many thrills rH M O W N E- R s B: LD YOUR ATH ANT) Is.
