She didn't get her homework This year is a new experience experience for all the students of Clarke High School. Clarke High has started a i semester system and it seems to be liked by all. The big differencé bet- : ween a term system and a semester system is the fact that ip- a semestered system you tak,e only four subjects j for onlÿ half a year. Now the students have more time to concentrate on their subjects for a shorter amount of time.* This leaves less time for everyone to get bored, which , can be the cause of marks dropping. Starting new sub- - jects in January is like the first day of school all over again. There are more friends and teachers to be met in the second half of the year. The students have their marks for the previous semester and whether good or bad they . have completed their subjects i and may not ever have to take i them again. Knowing this the st-dents are relieved and they ■ to hit the books once again. To boost "school spirit" at Clarke, house systems were created. Each house was f ed from the home n.--is. For example, 9A, 10A, 11 A, 12A, and 13A are one house. The response from the students so far, has beep encouraging. Last Friday, Friday, September 18, Clarke High had a -harrier, which is simply a run. Over sixty per 7 * cent of the students par- ,' cipated. It was fun for all •ivolved. done but she was lucky enough to push a quarter down the hallway with her On 'Friday, September 25, all the "Minor Niners" experienced something: that , they will never forget. It was "Initiation Day". Notes had been sent around to all the grade 9 home forms on the attire they were to wear that day. They Were also briefed on the activities planned. One of the activities was a dance that night put on by the grade thirteens. Even though the word "initiation" strikes fear into the hearts of all grade nines, it is not to ridicule them in .any way.' Initiation is à way of showing that they are all a part of Clarke High. Everyone else had to go through it, and can now look back on it and laugh. The year of 1981-82 looks promising for everyone at Clarke. With all the activities activities and changes, hopefully hopefully it will be the best year yet!

At present, 85 percent of job related déaths are attributed to accidents, but new studies indicate that occupation linked linked disease is rising as a cause of death. These occupational diseases include the pneumoconioses (dust diseases), occupational asthma, asbestosis, silicosis, occupational lung cancer and industrial'bronchitis. Almost any individual involved involved in an industrial proems proems is potentially at risk, as are spray painters, auto repairmen, meat wrappers, wood workers, refrigeration engineers, printers and firefighters. Stone masons, sand blasters and workers in the pottery and china industries industries may have an increased increased chance of developing Silicosis, (catised by long-term exposure to silica dust), while construction and demolition workers, and those employed in the insulation industry are at increased risk ■ from asbestosis (through long-term exposure to asbestos fibres). Even the homemaker is not immune to respiratory hazards. The average kitchen cupboard, bathroom cabinet and garden shed all contain a wide variety of substances potentially harmful to the lungs, if used in enclosed spaces or Without due regard for personal safety. During Lungs are for life Week, the Lung Association will make available a variety of pamphlets to answer your questions on lung hazards in the community, home and workplace.
