organized recreation for those who take their lunch to school amjijwaijljp don houston piumsino and heating tr 72506 how far should i be a model student as i have not the slightest idea what the above sentence means you must try to bear with me as 1 at tempt to enlarge on it the defini tion of a model student produces in my mind the picture of a typical stuffed shirt one who takes part in the class to his fullest ability in order to gain a glory mark at the end of the year is of no use to himself or his com panions and while he may know his english grammcr he learns noth ing of the outside world or even the people around him spending all his free time at home in the evening he gains no respect for his fellow man and is no better than a shut in as he gains a false sense of ecunty because he thinks that all he requires to succeed in the outside work is a good school mark this is untrue because in the mod era world one has to stamp on others in order to exist and to do this one needs strength not merely physical strength but cunning in everyday business dealing 1 conclude that one should gather this knowledge while still yount and still gain a satisfactory mark m sehool therefore staying away from the doom of becoming a model student note the above contribution b a grade xii student may at first siht appear out of place in hilh tales but as it is obviouslj a sincere expression of opinion it deserves some consider ition the views are unfortunately shired b many other adolescents too manj of our oune peopli are terrified of btini considered d itcrent fiom the tane this in the first place is a form of moral cowardice utterly unsuitable to a jount and developing counlrj such as ours se c ndly the an level is ilwas one of dull mediocnt or worse such views are esm ntiall a denial of the individuals freedom of thought in a democrac where the responsibility for such views lies is a complex question but sure the schools cannot be held re sponsible for the spread of these ideas of more practical interest is the effect that the writers opinions have on himself and his fellow stu dents how can the teachers produce hilh standards of scholarship where the students themsehes are actively opposed to learning j l i ambert pt report s scott the grade nine girls should be tak en as an example for the rest of the tirls in the school they show a quality of enthusiasm which is rare ij seen in ghs donna bennett has volunteered to teach the girls vollcjball after school she has had no trouble gettine girls for a couple of teams i do hope that this enthusiasm continues for it may generate throughout the school the only other activity in the pt field is the preparation of a oiie ball team to fo to guelph this spring bennetts beat well they say you can t

the country today we should learn a trade so that we shall know what job we are out of in the various departments we saw progress in electrical technology radio tv etc there was much pro gress in the

after the inspection as in former years a cadet dance will be held at the ar mouries certain factions have been agitat ing for a spring field day but the question remains would enough stu dents compete to warrant the labour it would involve a great deal of organization is necessary and school time must be sacrificed with a cadet inspection a square dance and a vol ley ball competition coming it is unlikely that a field day will be held have you noticed the great interest in basketball during noon hours it is pitiful that such talent must suf fice with makeshift equipment grandiose schemes and talk of a drilling locations and the future of when trip pepple in charge cannot even provide the essential lowcost basketball hoops to put on waiting standards or the proper supports from which to string the volleyball nets it would be far better to have the essentials now than to delay in the faint hope of having a tymna stum some time in the future the georgetown herald wednesday evening
