SDHS's Jayne studies in BC WOSSA winners
ball
Recently Jayne Delaney of Dublin took an
exchange trip to/ Honeymoon Bay. British
Columbia. Jayne saw the information about
the trip in a Chatelaine magazine. The
program was called Education Canada. She
went to Maureen Scott, guidance counsellor
at. Seaforth District High School, and Mrs.
Scott sent away for an application form. The
form came back, instructing Jayne to state
her interests. hobbies. preference of places
. to visit and other information. This
inforthation was matched with other indivi-
duals with similar characteristics and
Jayne's destination turned out to be British
Columbia. She was to• stay with Lisa
Rowland and her family.
Jayne received her reply two weeks before
she was to depart. On Sept. 28 off she went
.with no idea what her family in B.C. looked
like.' In London, Jayne had to pick up her
ticket the day she left as there wasn't
enough time to get it beforehand. From
London airport Jayne travelled to to Toronto
and from there to Vancouver. Jayne had
little difficulty in Vancouver even though it
was larger than Toronto. From Vancouver
she travelled to Victoria airport where she
was to meet the Rowlands. Fortunately the
family had received a picture of Jayne that
morning so they had an idea of what she
looked like. Mr. and Mrs. Rowland and
family live in a small town not much larger
than St. Columban, 60 miles north of
Victoria. •
For the next four weeks Jayne attended
highschool with Lisa in Lake Cowichan, 15
minutes ride from the Rowlands home. She
had received work from SDHS to do during
her visit. At the school Jayne attended' both
grade 11 and grade 12 courses, as B.C. was
has no grade 13. Jayne took several excellent
phys. ed classes and other. interesting
Mr.. Howari f
One of the new teachers at
SDHS this year is Mr.
Howard. He came to Sea -
forth because he felt he
needed a change, and be-
cauSe he was offered a
promotion. At SDHS, Mr.
Howard is now the head of
the history department. and
teaches . Grade 12 Man in
Society, Grades 9 and 12
History.
.When asked about the
setnester system, Mr. Ho-
ward said that he basically
likes it, but feels more work
is involved for both the
students"' and the teachers.
He feels that a student's
evaluation over a shorter
period of time isn't as fair .
In Mr. Howard's opinion, a
student . working all day in
school doesn't need home-
work as well, in his classes,
but agrees that in some
classes it is necessary.
Mr. Hpward notes few
differences between students
in this school and in other
schools where he has taught.
One of the main differences
in students in general, is the
interest shown about the
school. An example of this is
that in most schools, intra-
mural sports don't work, but
here we have a degree of
success with them.
One of ' Mr. Howard's
views towards students is if
there have been problems in
class, or if the student
objects to the material being
taught, or the method by
which it is taught, then the
classes. Jayne said she found the standards
not as high as they are herebut they had an
excellent school 'ith about 300 students.
Jayne couldn't believe how huge their
gymnasiums was. "It's bigger than Strat-
ford".
She also visited many places such as
Vancouver, Victoria, the Pacific coast. and
even had a guided tour of the parliament
buildings. Other activities involved visiting
the Rowlands grandmother. shopping and
sigh seeing. Jayne says there was always
something to do and places to go on the
weekends.
Pretty well everyone is more or less
employed in the timber industry. Mr.
Rowland is a tree faller, which is one of the
best jobs. Jayne got the opportunity to tour a
lumber mill which she described as huge.
Prices are pretty well the same as in
Ontario but unemployment is even higher
there than it is here.
Jayne loved the scenery. especially the
mountains. Excellent scenery combined with
good weather helped her enjoy her trip even
more. On Jayne s last few days there. it
began to rain. Jayne said it rained so hard
you couldn't see, just like our snow storms.
After returning home October26 Jayne said
she felt a little disappointed when she had to .
leave but she had school work waiting for her
back in Seaforth.
Mr. and Mrs. Rowland and family are
super nice people and Jayne said she
couldn't have had a nicer family to stay with.
Would Jayne recommend the trip to
anyone? She says definitely, adding she had
a wonderful time and met many new friends.
Jayne is keeping in touch with her new
friends and hopes that in January a girl she
met in B.C. will come to stay with her and
her family.

rs life s
student should come in and
talk to him about it. Mr.
Howard noted that when a
student comes in he might
act like he was right and. be
rather intimidating, but says
this is only a ruse to get kids
to defend their views and talk
to him about the problem.
Mr. Howard probably feels
this way because he used to
be a guidance counsellor.
Last year, for half of the
. year, Mr. Howard was teach-
ing in the Bahamas. He feels
there is no organization in
their system, and that the
experience made him appre-
ciate our educational system
more.
When asked how he would
improve the educational sy-
stem if given a chance, Mr.
Howard replied that to rid

I love a parade. especially
when excitement from the
spectators buzzes through
the streets. Such excitement
as this was evident as the
hands and floats paraded
down Seaforth's main street
Saturday afternoon during
our annual Santa Claus par-
ade. Even though the wea-
ther didn't seem like Christ-
mas. the spirit was there.
It is hard to believe that just
a fcw years ago there was no
Santa Claus parade in Sea -
forth. The first parade 1
remember consisted of only
Frosty the Snowman. Santa
Claus and the S.D.H.S. band.
With the co-operation of
service clubs, businessmen.
churches. bands andother
organizations. our parade
sure has grown. Just the
expressions on the faces of
children along the route ex-
plain the success of the
parade.
Naturally. the most wet•
:ome character was that jolly
old elf dressed in red and
white, Santa Claus. With his
"ho. ho. ho". and "Merry
Christmas!" Santa delighteo
people of all' ager' who lined
the street.
This sense of starting with
a little small thing (parade)
and building a big success
seems so typical of out town
Seaforth. Saforth m ay not be
a lafge town. hut it is very
nighty. We have so much to
be proud of in this community
One example of something
we should be proud of Is the
gpening of the new arena
Sunday. People will crowd
into the newly' built commune
ity centre to watch a hockey
game between the NHL Old-
timers and our Oldtimer
hockey placers. Man of the
spectators who will he watch•
ing the game. contributed
and donated to the construc-
tion of the new arena

This k typical of the
citizens of Seaforth and arca.

basketball
The intramural basketball
for house on house compet-
ition was headed by the
grade 12 phys. ed students
Wayne Ryan, Joanne Albert
and Joe Dorssets. One point
was given for each house
member who showed up for
the game, two points for
house leaders (staff mem-
bers) and the winning team
received five points.
Pheonix House won over
all with 11;4 points, AB came
in second with 178 points,
Comets in third with 162
points. and last but not least
Taurus with 114 points.
Congratulations Phoenix

weeks ago a family was in
need of some help with their
.farm. With no hesitation
whatsoever, "neighbours got
together and helped this
family through their time of
need.
It's incidents such as these
that ntakc me proud to live in
a community like Seaforth. 1
remember. a few years ago.
there was no piano upstairs at
Northside United Church.
One Sunday the piano was
brought up from thc Sunday
School room for a special
service. The effect that the
piano added to the music on
that Sunday was so great that
members of the congregation
pitched in together to buy a
new piano for the church. In
less than two days 52,000 in
donations was raised so that
the music in the church would
continue to be that good. That
piano is still played almost
even' Sunday.
It isn't just different or•
ganizations. churches and
service clubs that add to our
zommunity'. We arc lucky to
have individuals in Seaforth
who add a lot to our town. We
have many talented people
that live or have lived here in
the past.
