Education with Je.rry Hawkins I certainly remem ber a few years back seeing signs posted in the halls at Secondary Schools which said, "Stay in School - The good jobs go to thegraduates". You don't see those signs to-day in the sehools. In fact you are more likely ta hear some student say "why stay in school - there are no jobs for the grads anyway. - Well l1et me say it loud and clear. I don't agree that there are no jobs for the grads and I don't agree one should drap out of school. As a mat- ter of fact t hose signs that said "Stay ini School - The good jobs g o to the graduates" should be put back Up. They should be made bigger than ever and should say "Stay in Sehool - The good jobs go ta the graduates and NO JOBS GO TO THE NON GRADUATES". That of course is a bit of an overstatement but flot that much. Graduates are getting jobs. For example, 97 per cent of the graduates from the University of Western Ontario last year had jobs within 6 months of graduating. A recent article (Jan. 7, 1979) in the New York Times indicates that in the U.S.A. the job shortages are ,short term with the 1980's looking good for job hunters. Even now the demand for University students is three times as high as for workers in general. Looking at the Secondary School situation the employment situation is not, exactly bleak either. Each year a number of the graduates get jobs. Getting the job may not be as easy as it once was and the graduates may have ta go some distance before they find an attrac- tive job, but they do get them. Over one third of last year's business graduates from Bowmanville High Sehool had job offers while they were on their one, week work ex- perience program in industry. This certainly does not support anyone =aîn there are no jobs for rautes. The word graduate is of course the Key word here. The employment market is not exactly rosy, but the graduates at least have a chance at the jobs that are out there. To fur- ther support what I am saying let's look at the- 1974-77 average spring unemployment levels in Canada for the people age 15 ta 24 years of age. Those people age 15,-24 with only an elementary school education had an unemployment rate of 23 per cent. People the same age with Secondary School education were only 13 per cent unemployed. Those, 15-24 year olds with college education were down ta about 6 per cent unem- p loyment rate. University graduates ad the lowest unemployment rate at about 5 per cent. The simple fact of the matter to- day is that young people need more- education than ever. Having a decent education has been impor- tant in recent years. To-day however it's absolutely essential. As our society gets more complicated and more technical, one needs more education, not less, in order to sur- vive on the job market. Remember it's the unskilled jobs that disappear and the complicated ones requirmng education which increase. It's really very hard to be over educated. If it is a problem at all, it's certainly better than being under educated. No mat- ter how bad the job market is, it's just a matter of time until the educated student gets a decent job in an area he or she likes. At least there is always hope. What hope is there for the drop out? I see no hope at alI. It really bothers me ta see a student drop out of school. He or she is just slamming the door of opportunity in their own face. And the sadjp art is, that each year it gets harir and harder ta open those doors up again.

TEAZE By Cathy Denny On Friday, March ninth, Bowmanville 111gb School beld a Sadie Hawkins dance. For those of you who are un- familiar with this term, Sadie ,Hawkins dances are dances in whicb the girls ask the guys to be their date. This dance featured the up and coming group, Teaze. Teaze bas a gold record and is nominated for a Juno award, (the Canadian version of the Grammy). Tbey claimed their fame by playing to huge masses, other than audiences in Japan. The four member band hails from Mon- treal but is becoming a truly international group. Teaze is presently planning a tour of Europe and a return tour of Japan. You may be wondering why Teaze was playing at a bigh scbool dance if tbey have such a good reputation. Well, the reasoning behind this is that the group was between gigs and in preparing for their up- coming tour needed somewbere to test tbeir new equipmfent and material. Tbe fact that Teaze is used to playing in larger halls and to massive audiences may ac- count for tbeir overpowering sound. Another criticism of the band is tbat their music, altbougb entertaining, was difficult to dance to. I would tend to agree witb the many otber students wbo suggest that if Teaze should return to our scbool that they be situated on tbe stage in the auditorium in a concert fashion rather than dance. Tbis would also benefit their elaborate lighting more fully as its effect seemed to be lost in the gymnasium. Overlooking the minor THE SIGN 0F A GOOD BUSINESS NEIGHBOR ...

SOMETHING OKIN (ABOUT 6tb COUSIN)',ý TO WAR By Jim Francis Thursday, March l5tb, 1979 will undoubtedly go down as a very average day in the bistory of hockey. The fact that no one other than the par- ticipants really cared about the outcome of the contest between the grade twelves and the combined forces of the grade thirteens and elevens did not dim tbe enthusiasm of the two teams. The competition was fierce and physical from the start but there were no stupid penalties and only three dumb ones. Botb teams were very much intent on winning and the grade twelves came tbrougb on the skin of their teeth with a final score of 10 to 3. Coach Murray Visser of the grade 13/11 team complained vehemently about the refereeing in particular the disallowing of a goal that would bave made the score 5 to 2. In bis own words, "We scored again a few minutes later and that would bave GEORGE WEEKES again offers a complete PERSONAL INCOME TAX SERVICE and wil be pleased ta see ail customers of former years.
