The Huron Expositor, 1982-11-10, Page 12Al2 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, NOVEMBER 10, 1982 Wall .sees and tells all of SDHS SDHS is a small school where everyone knows every- one else. I know every stu- . dent and teacher who attends the school but no one knows me. I know parts of people that they may not even know. No, I'm not a gossip or a spy, I am a wall at SDHS. You may think that being a wall is very boring, There, you are very wrong. 1 see the funniest things every day. Students have come and gone but the atmosphere of the school stays the same. The gossip 'of this school is unbe- lievable. It is so unbelievable that you probably wouldn't believe it; so why try telling vou? Just when you think you arc alone in the halls of SDHS and you can do something crazy without being seen by lay anyone, forget it. you'll be seen. Nekt time you are out of hearing distance from any of your friends and consider mumbling something under your breath because no one will hear, reconsider because I will hear you. I hear and sec everything that is said or done in the halls. Take for instance Mr, S., 1 am proud to say that I heard what you mumbled under your breath the other day after that particular grade 13 student gave you a hard time in the front hall. t caught you' too LT springing some poor - p'erson's hinder in the library last Wednesday morning.

Ever since last June, the SDHS student's council has been dabbling in dabber B go British teac er wrestling, you two? Mrs. S. wasn't too impressed. I can't pretend that I didn't see DH and KD doing the "bird dance" in MIS class a week ago. 1 was 'finally convinced that the school had gone crazy until GH, D1' and RB showed up at school last Thursday in three-piece suits. Very classy 1 think. Have a nice party boys. Just remember, when you least expect it 1'11 be watching your every move and listen- ing to every word you say. Just because someone tries to cover my eyes with posters and so on doesn't mean 1 can't see these things hap- pening from day to day. As long as there are students in SDHS 1 will have something to write about. Beware. I'm always watching. , -Signed: The Wall in Every Monday at 7:30 it' you drive by our school you might sec a lot of cars around. No, there isn't another used carlot opening, that is where the bingos are. And they arc held in our famous cafeteria. The proceeds go to student of BY CHERRYL SMITH activities (which is• a very good cause), and each week there are over $500 in prizes. So if you are 16 or over and enjoy playing bingo and win- ning money, come on out. to SDHS on Monday evening. It's lots of fun. B% DORIS GLANVILLE Seaforth District High school' has. just this new school year acquired new "additions": Among these arc Peter Latronico, an ex- change.teacher, spending this school year in Mr. Ball's place. Mr. Latronico comes from a "small" town in Northern England-Nantwich. pop. 14.Q00. In Nantwich he taught grades 7-13, in Geography, and Phys. Ed. on a 150 level. Something he noticed was that there are not as many good athletes in the school in England, as the interest in sports is minimal. He explains "the good ath- letes are good. and others would rather spectate." Whcn asked how he liked it at SDHS, he "replied: "It's generally o.k., the kids here �.. it Goodbye hello NDERFOOT PVNS were presented to several Girl Guides at a flying up remony recently.

Front row, Lisa Henderson, Kathrine Mailloux, and Michelle McCowan. Absent were Katrena Swirkl is and Tracey Roth. (Wassink photo) er notes are a lot noisier. but the basic work is the same." He also said that in Eng- land, the kids wear uniforms, and as a teacher he is required to wear a jacket, and a tic. Mr. Latronico also added, that the discipline at his school is higher, and there- fore there are very few class problems. Moving from England to SEVERAL TENDERFOOTS became fullfledged Girl Guides when tenderfoot pins were presented to the girls here in Seaforth. Joining the Girl Guide troupe are Tracy Bisback, Bobbi -Ann Scarrow and Theresa Campbell. (Wassink photo) Scaforth was relatively simple, as he moved from one small town to another, and adjusting was no major prob- lem. thanks to 'helpful teach- ers, and their families. He is really happy about how friendly Seaforth is. Loneliness hasn't been a problem. as Mr, Latronico has been visiting many places, such as Toronto, Niagara Falls, New York, and iffe up to the Canadian Shield (Dorse). He says he had seen these things, many times before, in pictures but actually being there is something else. He was really impressed. On his travels around the world, he has seen such far away places as North Africa, Western Europe and Great Britain. He really misses a good e ce soccer match on T.V., and finds hockey rather unusually rough. Homesickness is not close by yet, but by the time January comes, and he's snowed in for a week, Mr. L. says he May start to feel it. Mr. Latronico is very easy to talk to and the places he has been, are very interest- ing. -On behalf of the Seaforth district, welcome Mr. Latron- ico. We hope your year with us is a great one.

BT TRISH RIIMIMIIER This fall at SDHS as we were saying good-bye to our good friend and , secretary Jean Hildebrand, we were also saying hello to a new friend and secretary Dianne Stevenson. You've probably seen Mrs. Stevenson in the office and in the halls or heard her voice on the P.A. system. You would never know that Mrs. Stevenson is new to our school because she fits in so well. Before coming to S. D.H.S. , Mrs, Stevenson worked at the board office, Holmesville Public School, Shaeffer Pen in Goderich and she was a music teacher for 12 years. Perhaps all of her experience in working with the public explains her friendly attitude with the students of SDHS. Mrs. Stevenson finds that the "kids are really pleasant and polite" and she definitely likes the atmosphere of our small high school. Her big- gest adjustment to her new job is the amount of paper- work as compared to the elementary school she used to work at. She also mentioned that getting used to the routine, remembering names and faces and learning to read the writing off some individuals and teachers has given her some, problems. However, she has not let these prob- lems stand in her way and is doing a great job as secretary. After work, Mrs. Steven- son goes home to Clinton. She has lived in the Clinton area for eight years and is now living in Clinton. Mrs. Ste- venson is married and has three children, David is 14, Darren is almost 10 and Luanne is eight years old. It is obvious that Mrs. Stevenson is kept busy and involved with kids both at work and at home. I'd like this 'chance to welcome Dianne Stevenson to SDHS and wish her the best of luck with her job and maintaining her san- ity at SDHS. Stu ants craw for Lfll'� ®se ' ester ex s Well tha time of, the semester is fast approaching. Our mid -semester exams. I find it will not necessarily be easier, but nicer to be able to concentrate your studying on just four subjects, rather than cramming for seven or eight as We usually have in the past years: We have two sets of exams. thc first commencing No- vember 8 and the second set in January. If the student has an average of 66 per cent for the semester in a subject he is exempted from the second set. Sonic , people may find exams a waste of time, but may I say it's better than getting a lot of tests. It reviews the work we have done, so maybe the student will remember the informa- tion longer. If the students arc failing, they are able to write the exam and possibly bring up their mark. You ask, what happens during ekams? Well, you study for hours. Memorizing your notes. Working your little heart out. And then the big day comes. When you walk into the room, you feel the palms of your hands sweating. You sit down and try to remember all the information you learned for the past -week. The teacher hands you the paper and then all of a sudden, for no reason at all you get a mental block. Sitting there trying to re- member, just staring at the question paper. Your mind is a complete blank: I'm sure that this has happened to many of us.,l can imagine it would be a lot worse for the final exam of an R.N., -a lawyer or a doctor. The tension grows, your hands begin to shake, but before you know it you're on the last page. Then there are the times when you run out of time. You write as fast as you can, hoping the teacher roan read your writing. And of course, there's always someone who whisp- ers from behind you, "Hey, what's the answer to number five." When the*cher isn't looking of course. Why waste your paper on a zero? - Oh, exams may be tough, but I look at it this way. Each exam 1 write is one step closer to my career, whatever that ,may be. And if 1 wasn't able to handle these exams, how could I manage my future ones? , •Debbie Hulley High rating for Van Haien album Once again Van Haien has come out with an album that is in the top ten, Diver Down. which comes from the more typical Van Haien style songs such as "Pretty Women", an older goldy and "Where Have all the Good Times Gone" to songs like "Happy Trails"rand "Big Bad Bill is Sweet William Now." As always, Van Haien does not let you down with their own supply of loud guitar background music. which blends in all too well with their lyrics. The band must be doing something right or else they would not be selling the albums they do, or packing the concert halls where they play. Van Haien keeps getting better and better and to stay with the tradition Diver Down does the same. This album is a must for any Van Haien fans. Diver Down receives a 8.5 out of 10 rating. -Sean Lane Keepyour kids in their place. It's always been a R'(hx1 idea. N(fty it's the law.
