Many of our present concepts are based on the teachings of the philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and on the plays of Aeshylus, Sophocles and Euripides. It was the Greeks who understood understood and described a phenomenon known as "Catharsius", the purifying or relieving of the emotions through art or communal ceremony. ceremony. Emotions were brought to a crisis pitch, there was a flood of grief, and then soothing soothing relief. Psychiatry has borrowed the term catharsis to mean the alleviation alleviation of fears, problems and complexes by bringing ; them to consciousness and " giving them expression. One of the purposes of the funeral ceremony is to provide such catharsis for the mourners. We express our thoughts, emotions. We share our grief. Hopefully, we come away with a sense of peace and understanding.

Some believe that it is one of the finest in the world. Others believe it needs a lot of work until it reaches the point where it can benefit all involved. involved. The following is a combination of both teachers' and students' views. Any comments or arguments on this article will be published. On Learning: Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge or skill. Sometimes within the school system, more emphasis is placed on acquiring the knowledge (or skill) rather than how it is acquired. If the information is taught in a boring environment, it will not be as greatly received as it would if it were taught in a stimulating environment. Sometimes, the classes are too big, or the teacher might not be interested in the subject he or she is teaching, Although this doesn't happen very often, when it does happen there are many students who find they cannot work to their full potential. From there grows a negative attitude towards school which can last a long time. It is in this way that some people have a hard time in school with learning, or being taught. On the other hand, some people feel that the school system is spoon-feeding students - babying them. The students have it too easy for their own good. However, it's one thing to be spoon-fed and another thing to digest what you've been told to swallow. Some students digest knowledge knowledge like a computer - file it, store it, and put it away for future use. Others must study five hours a night, sometimes learning, but mostly memorizing. memorizing. Still others can't learn, don't know how to learn, or are afraid to learn. The latter are afraid to learn perhaps because the subject overpowers overpowers them. After all, students are told all through school what subjects they should or must take. No one will learn when the subject becomes more important than the student. At B.H.S. we can say this seldom happens but it is not unheard of elsewhere. However, to educate, there has to be a system that reaches all kinds of students and their different interests. Classes must be interesting and informative. Until this is achieved, no school system will be perfect and many students will continue to have trouble learning. Musical The B.H.S. production of "Bye Bye Birdie" is almost ready for performance. In fact, the first performance is on Monday, November 18 for senior citizens only.

Law Trip By Eddy Paradis On Monday, November 4th, Ms. Naples and her grade 13 law class travelled to Toronto. The first stop was the Provincial Provincial Supreme Court. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, the class was unable to see the case they had planned planned on, but managed instead to see a fraud case. After lunch the group went to Osgoode Hall. They were impressed by the old court rooms and the well supplied library. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing bullet holes in a courtroom from an unfortunate unfortunate shooting incident that occurred three years ago. Overall it was a very educational educational experience and the grade 13 law class would like to thank Ms. Naples for organizing the trip. The Music Beat By Carole-Anne Vatcher On Friday, November 1st, the B.H.S. Band held a Dance Marathon to raise money for the Senior Band's trip to the Bahamas to participate in an International Music Festival. Everything went well and most people survived the entire twelve hours, though some people had to drop out early because they had to work on Saturday morning. Some people stayed twelve hours and still went to work on Saturday morning! In any case, everyone had a lot of fun in losing a bit of weight and a lot of sleep. A special thanks should be given to the parent chaperones who came in for three or four hour shifts during the night and also to Miss Murray, who helped us out all night. To those who participated, try to get your sponsor money in as soon as possible. Last Wednesday, the Senior Band had its first marching rehearsal of the year. There were a few fumbles, but most remembered everything we learned from the encouraging Rebels marching corps leaders last year. We will be marching in the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 16th and the Uxbridge and Port Perry Parades on Saturday, November 30th. Come out and experience the Senior Band's excellent marching skills! On Monday, November 11th at the Remembrance Day Assembly, the Senior Band played. This was the first time the Band has played at this particular assembly and the job was well done. Basketball 85-86 With the close of our Bowmanville Redmen football squad's season comes the beginning of the Bowmanville Redmen boys ' basketball season. Although the start of the first league games are yet a month away, the three teams have started tryouts or at least some light, self practice and we should soon see the selected teams, diligently practicing. The Midget boys basketball team, which will again be under the expert supervision and coaching of Mr. N. Johnson, has already held tryouts, and have formed a very respectable squad. This year's boys midget team members are: Vince Rimes, Jeff Woodlock, Dwayne Tapp, Tim Partridge, Andy Big Canoe, Karl Wunderlick, Troy Mutton, Mike Smith, Shane Crombie, Steve Bizi, Chris Hay, Brad Rickard and Derek Fall. Although the junior squad has not yet held any formal Iryouts, all possible players are certainly looking forward to getting their season started. I'm sure that this year's team, which will again be headed by Mr. Jacobs, hopes to improve over last year's record which was a winless one. Mr. Todd, coach of last year's highly successful senior team, will again be performing the coaching duties of the 85-86 team, which looks to be one with a great deal of potential. This year's senior team members are: Rod Tukker, Jay Kelly, Bruce Cooke, Henry Deuwel, Brian Clement, Rick Vandermolcn, Guy Marjerrison, Brian Treen, Jeff Thompson and Shawn Healy. Having introduced this year's coaches, and given you an outline of what is happening happening to date, I'm going to end this, my first column, by wishing the best of luck to the coaches and players for a highly successful fun year. I am also sure that the coaches and players will not disappoint the school, but live up to the strong and respectable reputation which they have built up and maintained throughout the past years.
