Education with Terry Hawkins if you went to school in the 1950's or if you have attended any of the recent movies depicting the 1950's, then y ou know quite a bit about ~hool spirit. Those were the days of fôoýtball parades with cheerleaders perched on- the f enders of convertible cars and a "rab, rah" approach to big events in the school. ce ool spirit in those days was a very overt thing. You couldn't help notice it because it was loud and visible to everyone. Some people look back at t hose activities and sadly say, there is no school spirit to- day. Well, I disagree. There is quite a bit of school1 spirit in schools to- day. The change from the 1950's is that it is shown in a considerably different way. To try to maintain the 1950's brand of school spirit would inevitably end up in disaster. There simply is no way students can match the pomp and ceremony of T.V. football, hale time shows. If one measures school spirit by the standards of the 1950's, thenthey must conclude that there is little school spirit to-day. However, I think persons doing this are using very outdated standards. To-day's type of sehool spirit is much quieter, much more sophisticated and much more--in depth. For example students frequently band together and raise, money for some worthy cause. They rarely make an big noise about their good efforts, but often their efforts are very great. The thing which pleases me so much about this type of action is that, the students sincerely help others, with no thought of personal gain. There exisits a feeling of concern among many students for their fellow man, especially if those persons are disadvantaged in any way. When students pull together to help others, that to me, is sehool spirit at its finest. School spirit is shown in other ways too. Just as in the past most students look upon their school as a good school. The school song, if there is one still in existence, may no longer be sung. Students don't do that anymore, but that doesn't mean they are flot loyal to their school. Most students are fiercely proud of their school. Again, some people may think that school spirit bas reduced but it hasn't. Only the peiusly recognizable signs -of scolspirit have changed. Let's take another example of how the signs of school spirit have changed. Probably one of the most obvious is initiations. School initiations were a big deal in the past. There was a lot of action, a lotý of pomp and ceremony. I personally don't support the concept of the old fashioned school initiations. I frankly think that for every person who enjoyed initiations, there was at least one other person who feared them. It seems to me an initiation can quickly degenerate into humiliation 'and harm to those being initiated. The fact that we have changed initiations into a one hour, fun and genuine welcome ceremony and have received the backing of senior students on it, is a sign of very Section Two The Canadian positive sehool spirit. Most students no longer want to participate in a process that p uts down people who can't fight back. They want to welcome them; not scare them. They want to give them a feeling of belonging; flot alienate them. They Statesman, Bowma nville. June 6, 1w199 want to inform them about the school, its teams and clubs; flot to humiliate them. Yes, there is lots of school spirit to- day. Really great sehool spirit that is a credit to our students. 3rd Annual Beaveree For West' Durham Dist. Held at Enniskillen On Saturday, May 26th the third year for the District Beaveree was held at Ennis- killen School.

Prop osals for legisl1ation were recently announced to increase the protection of landowners against trespass and to clarify theliability of owners to rrsons who enter their The proposals are intended to safeguard the rights of landowners and at the same time to encourage them to make land available for recreational activities. They were drafted following a review of the present law governing landowners' rights and liabilities, which was coniducted with the assistance of various agricultural and recreational groups. As protection against trespass, the proposed legislation would raise ,,-,he fine for trespassing fromn $100 to $1,000, and would permit the courts to impose on convicted trespassers to cost of prosecutions. It wouid also allow the courts to compensate landowners for damages caused by trespassers to property or crops. The proposed legislation would add orchards and fields under cuitivation to the categ ory of land to which entry is p rohibited without the landowners having to post signs or give other notice. Under the present law, only lawns, f ardens and enclosed lands are included to this category. The proposals also caîl for limfiting the liability of owners to persons who enter. their lands to a duty to take responsible care to ensure their safety. This duty wouid not be owed to persons Sam at Q ueen 's Park enterin g land for criminai purposes. Owners o f ail rural, non-industrial land would be hiable to damages only where they create dangers with the deliberate intent of causing harm- or have done something with reckiess disregard for the entrant's presence. In this respect, the province hopes to encourage farmers and landowners to allow hikers, skiers and horse back riders to establish trails along prope 1rty lines or through woodlots. Details of the proposais are set out in a discussion paper entitled "Occupiers' Liability and Trespass to, Property. " The paper is being distributed to a large number of interested individuals and groups and al comments on the proposais are expected to b e received by the end of June. The government will then assess these remarks over the summer months in order to bring forth legisiation in the faîl.
