F. J. Donevan Collegiate, Oshawa Ancient Egypt and Rome was, the theme for this year's elec- tions. Ingenuity and originality from the parties made both campaigns very successful. It was discovered that every stu- dent voted for the individual candidates and ballots were tabulated. That night, Andy De Jong, in charge of decorations, transformed the gymnasium in- to a colorful array of balloons and posters. At 10:15 p.m., student council for 1966-1967 was announced with Cathy Sproule, president; Don Werry, vice-president; Alyce Wheeler, secretary, Joanne social conener; and Gary Holmes, organizer.

Although the student body has decreased from 1,100 to 940, the student activity has increased. New clubs have been formed and activities concerning sports and recreation are in view for the near future.

Collegiate students were asked this question. They replied: Susanne Jeffery, 93 Con- naught: "Two peopis can go to the same function and only one of them will nave a good time. Some people just are not able to adapt them- selves to their environment like others, it wouldn't mat- ter what they were doing or where they were. It's just a case of learning to use what you have." ~~ Karen Shaw, 166 Aima: "There's no excuse for any- KAREN SHAW ALLAN YOUN® one to be bored. Most of them are going to school and there is plenty to get involved in. You only get out of a thing what you put into it. Some kids have the idea that they are above school and that's a real tragedy. That has to be boredom." Barb Field, 740 Oshawa Bivd.: "I think that teen- agers can easily become bored in Oshawa because there isn't really that much to do. At least not the type of activity that some prefer. You have to go to Toronto for this and that requires BARB FIELD money; if you haven't got it, you stay home bored." Allan Young, 126 Brock: "T think that you are bored if you want to be. The secret is to have a goal in life. If you haven't got one, there's just nothing to work for and you don't really want any- thing anyway. There has to be a goal in life or you're not living, just existing." Ed. Crossen, 432 Farewell: "T think that a person has to have the initiative to do things for himself. I can't reason out using second-hand ideas that have been tried HUGH MACDONALD It's far more challenging and interesting if you attempt to create activity for yourself, It gives you a broader outlook." Hugh Macdonald, Masson st.: "I don't think that there are too many teenagers that are truely bored today. Those that may be, are generally drop-outs. 'Teen-agers who find something to do in school, find it in their extra- curricular activities; and, if this does not suffice, they have lots of school work that they can be doing to pass the time." and failed. Slum Areas Language Different - PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Slum children apparently speak a "hidden language" that even their teachers can't understand. John Brewer, assistant direc- tor of compensatory education for the city's hoard of public education, says the "hidden language" masks the true intel- ligence of slum children, Because words like "muska"' and '"'dime dropper' don't show up on middle class-oriented in- telligence tests, slum children often do poorly in the tests. "Tests show these kids to be 4,000 to 5,000 words below the minimum vocabulary necessary for elementary school." Brewer says. "'But we have found 3,200 words including idioms in their vocabularies, and all you have to do is find the transfers"--or translations. Brewer, a Negro who grew up in the Dis hosts bos compiled a susvllis, mally ui wiicu suund strange to middle-class ears. It's not too hard to envision "bread" as money, or a "pearl pusher" as a toothbrush, but some of the words were born in the slums and their derivations can be obscure to an outsider. A dirty person, for example, ~ "muska," short for mus- catél. WINOS LOWEST "The lowest form of complete human deterioration is a hard- core wino," explains Brewer. "These winos will jump in hokey piles (junk heaps) to find an empty bottle they can sell for a penny. They find enough bottles and they can buy some muscatel -- the cheapest wine you can get." To inform on someone is called "dropping the dime," and Brewer explains it this way: "When you go into a phone booth to call the police, what do you do? You drop a dime into the phone, right?" Some other slum words com- piled by Brewer: Rays--parents (a source of warmth; hence, a-loving term) Knuckle drill--a fight Moose, mink Job--teacher What key you in?--+:cse side are you on? Cold plate--revenge Bucket of paint--makeup HIGH SCHOOI.

A person or persons unknown this week painted a "Vote Yak, 0.C.V.1." slogan on the fog- horn tower at the Oshawa Har- bor. The Yak party was involved in an election Friday at O'Neill Collegiate. "I don't think it's an ace of vandalism, It was just done in fun and to publicize the election campaign," said Pam Jones, a grade 10 student at OCVI. A. M. Dixon, O'Neill principal, says he doubts if it was a very good promotion gimmick be- cause "no one will see it down there". Mr. Dixon termed the "VOTE YAK", OCVI SLOGAN -- SPARKS HEATED DISCUSSION He said he couldn't point a finger at the culprit as it "could be the work of the opposite party or another school". Mr. Dixon said it would be difficult to discover the guilty party with such a vast number fo students in the school and city. . "It would be very disappoint- ing to learn that OVCI students were involved in painting the tower but it could be an out- sider', said Mr. Dixon. Gari Gulliver, a grade il student at O'Neill said it was a publicity gimmick of the Yak party but added: "If somebody in the party suggested we do it, I would -- deed vandalistic. just for the heck of it.'"' Ure. V.u! TORONTO (CP)--Long-haired Michael Waage at 18 is a former snake - breeder who has been picked up by the police "'maybe 300 times,"' wears a small cross piercing his left ear lobe and describes himself as "a novelty among novelties."' Yet the executive secretary of the Ontario Council of Christian Education, Rev. Philip Karpetz, says that in Michael's work among the denizens of Yorkville, "he is successful in ways other people can't be." Michael is a worker with the Community Services Organiza- tion, an inter - denominational group working out of St, Paul's United Church on Avenue Road, near Yorkville, a mid - town region of coffee houses and dis- cotheques that is "home" to young people who regard them- selves as modern intellectuals. "T liked the Yorkville kids so much I gave them all of my money for food and rent," says Mike, as he is known in the district. 'I tried to do what's best for them." An American by birth, he hopes to become a Canadian citizen. He has worked at nearly everything from breeding and training snakes to playing the harmonica. After settling in To- ronto he became "'sort of an un- Oilicial social worker" ii Yoru- LOCATIONS Please Order From Your Nearest Store PEPI'S PIZZA PALACE 134 Simcoe S. 728-0192 STORE HOURS: Mon, to Thurs. 4:15 P.M, to 1 AM, Fri. & Sat. 4:00 P.M, to 2 Sun: 4 P.M, to 12 PEPI'S PIZZA PICK-UP 64 Rossiond W, 723-0241 Sun. to Thurs,--4 to 12 P.M.

Teen-agers Get Assist In Job Hunts WINNIPEG (CP) -- Job- hunting teen-agers caught in the annual scramble for part- time summer work have had their own employment service here for the last two years, and the idea is spreading. Teenage Overload this sum- mer handled 4,000 applications and managed to locate jobs for about 780 students, Set up in 1965 and sponsored by a group of businessmen, Teenage Overload acts as a liaison office between employ- ers and job-hunting students. Students over 18 are assured of earning at least the mini- mum wage of 92% cents an hour. Jobs range from picking strawberries and washing dishes to waiting on tables and acting as a lifeguard. One zrawn found wark this summer as human guinea pigs in isola- tion chambers at the Univer- sity of~Manitoba - psychology department. Teenage Overload was s0 successful in its first summer in 1965 that branch offices were set up this summer in Toronto and Montreal.
