Neighborhood Notes Thornhill Secondary Angus Hills of John Street suffered a nasty accident. He slipped on some ice while visit- ing in Willowdale. He thought he had broken his hip and there was nobody on the street. How- ever, he managed to crawl back Witchcraft somehow never made it to Thornlea, but Africa did. Well, not quite, but there is a book drive on for African kids. The purple barrels lining the halls are just waiting for contributions of old “Nancy Drew’s” and the “Hardy Boys”. A Before Christmas there was a collection of toys and food for Indian children living on the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford. Then the students took part in selling tickets for a lottery which was to finance a special camp for diabetic children. The driver seeths to be going fairly well, but glen Thornlea students are old hands at things like at. In spite of all -this activity there are some students who feel that “school spirit" (remember, “rah-rah”), isn't all what it should be. At one grade 13 meeting earlier this year the possibility of a senior lounge was discussed. “It will Eive‘the‘gragle nines something to look up to”. 7 “It'll only alienate them and make them think we‘re trying to be big shots". Such were the com- ments tossed around by what appeared to be two separate factions. In the end it all came to nothing and Thorn‘lea stugk to its policy of ungraded equality. Yet this feeling that the majority of students were apathetic sparked Steve Harrison, president of the student finance committee, into ararnging a panel discussion held Monday during activity period (1:30 - 2:15). Teachers and students made up the panel. x .xmmx’kmmmmnmmaAAsA- A A “The main purpose of the meeting" Steve feels "is to make more students aware of the problems." By changing the social structure Steve thinks that Thornlea will revive and then the number of student clubs and activities will increase. Right now he doesn't feel that there are enough activities. But it’s all in the way that good football team doesn‘t necessarily equal great school spirit. It doesn‘t mean that the students are giving and getting the most they can out of high school. Maybe the panel might even raise the question, “is school spirit really necessary?” In my opinion, if a school like Thornlea is going to work, a common bond between students is nec- essary. And no matter what happens it will still be an experience in co-operation and working to- gether. And isn‘t that what it's all about? ‘WW..._. MAMAAA$AA~AAA Vision Thornlea BYRON E.
