DESCRIPTION:- Most often found in busloads of students

heading for inter-hign competitions.

once caught, spreads rapidly through all nearby victims.
- Produces a very positive and determined
optimism.
- Causes students to breafe out in school
souvenirs just before competition with another school. These
souvenirs are the colour of the victims' school colours.
HEWARD OFFERED to students coming up with the most
original and practical idea for capturing the above mentioned
school spirit for Revelstoke High. (He is very susceptible t
school mascots.)

.November has ^come and gone
and with it the first major disaster of the school season^
REPORT CARDSo For many students this- -was -an opportunity
to prove to parents and friends
alike that all diligent study
hadn't been in vain. Then
there are the o.ther.s'; the ones
who were "going to''"study before
breakfast tomorrow" or innocently stated to their parents that
"its only going to be a little
quiz and I know' it all';JT These
are the ones who sheepishly
handed over the report cards
and promised -''to do better
the next time1,/.
Well, it looks 'like .their
chance has come to prove themselves because they 1 ve started
the quizes3 tests and exams
(there's a difference???) all
over again* But the worst of
it is they're not going to be
over before the Christmas holidays o The main exams will be
written after the holidays
when school classes go in0 ' '?ho

soap? Why , yes I know that
stuf f o : I use it every day
But
stop, and think, what do you
really know about this substance
one. of the most frequently used
articles in the home0
The manufacture of soap
dates back to ancient times, but
its origin is obscurea Its discovery and use has been credited
to the Gauls but it is not sure
whether they discovered it or not
However5 Pliny, a Roman naturalist, AD 50, describes how soap
was made by boiling goat9 s tallow
a fat and causticized wood, that
is burnt wood0 The product was
a soft slippery liquid which was
hardened into cakes by the use of
salto
In the 13th century the
industry was introduced from Italy into France and Germany; and
later into England^ In America,
soap making was a household art
until 1800 when the industry was
revolutionize do
About 1823 as a result', of
experiments conducted by Eugene
Chevreul, a French chemist, into
the constitution of oils and fats,
it was possible to produce soap
on a larger scale than formerlyFirst 5 soap had been considered
a luxury but with, mass-production
of ways it was possible to produce It cheaply0 Thus there was
an increased comsumption because
the lower classes could afford it=
Soaps the best known cleanser is made by the action of an
alkali. 5 a material containing an
OH ion and a fut, by the process
of saponification, that is, the
chemical reaction between the
reactants0 Although there are
many soaps, in general applies

VANDALISM
Vandalism is easily distinguishable from common ordinary pranks.
Vandalism is wilful damage wnile a prank is simply -a small act which
requires a little elbow grease to correct. The sad part of this is
that many of today's teenagers don't seem to know the difference,
and a lot of them just don't care. On Hallowe'en night large gangs
of teenagers gather on the street corners carrying firecrackers,
paint, crowbars and at tir-ies firearms; V,rhy? In the interests of
vandalism and causing, trouble they are running the risk of being
"picked up" or getting seriously hurt.
They strike anywhere. At an old couple's home,, not thinking of
the occupants, they tear down the fence. They go so far as to damage
automobile tires and school windows with twenty-two calibre bullets.
What are the teenagers of today going to be? The gangsters of
tomorrow? Now don't et me wrong; I know as well, as you that not all
teenagers are to blame. A few misguided youngsters who feel that by attracting attention to themselves they will be respected by the
majority of the teenage sect bring criticise down on the heads of all
teenagers.
We know how wrong they are. They don't gain one ounce of respect
In fact this sort of behaviour damages any reputation they might have
at the time , Wot only are their reputations damaged but because of
the few, many adults begin to blame all teenagers. .. These troublemaker's then, hurt not only themselves but many friends. when they
wilfully destroy other people's property. ....
In some cases the parents are to blanie, Sowfe \pfS them don't seem
to know or even care what their '"'kids11 are doing. i?,his situation
could be remedied if parents would keep a closer tab on their youngsters, meet their friends and know for certain where they are going
to be and with whom.

Hello again! ;,/e're back

this edition with the lowdown
on the male side of the fashion
scene0 After interviewing a
number of girls we came up with
some interesting finds and so,
read on!
Pointed and tapered shoes
are favorites of the girls*,
//hite tennis sneakers for summer
are okayed as long as they are
kept clean* Most girls dislike
Beatle boots with high cuban
heelso Boys look smart when
they wear socks which match the
color of their shirtSo Plain
klack or white socks are liked
tOOo

Girls like the current

trend in slacks, the continental look,, 'tfhite denims are also
a popular choice=> Most agree
that pant length should not be
above the ankle? otherwise it
makes one wonder if the boy has
outgrown them or if his dog died
and he ( s wearing his pants at
half-mast0
Popular shirt collar styles
include snap-tabs, bars 9 chains
and button-downsa "Light patterned and striped shirts are prefered and turtle-neck dickeys in
black or blue are also favorites
Bulky sweaters3 especially crewnecks s are things that girls like
to see a boy wearing,,
Beatle j ackets and \sible coats are considered ideal,
for the active life, led by .today' s teenage boys0

Medium hair length that tapers to a point at- the nape is

considered neatest looking.
Some girls dislike block-cuts
which are^sheared straight across
at the back.
'tfe hope this survey has helped the boys and given them some
insight on how to'please t|ie. .
girls next time .-'they head out to
buy new clothes'-.

Music seems to have had

quite an effect on fashions
which have cropped up in the last
yearc It has sparked many new
and unusual atyles0 First came
the Bossa Nova from South .- ;'..;..
America and brought with it
vividly striped and dotted blous^
es with elbow patches and slinky
black after-five dresses, with
the general trend in America
to "go California" the music
switched to a surfing beat*
This gave birth to the loosely
fitting bathing trunks, appropriatley called "baggiesy" the
revamping of white sneakers, and
the throat laced sweaters worn
by surfers and non-surfers ali&e
who freguented the beaches.
The
Mersey Beat was the next sound
to hit Worth America and Beatle
promoters everywhere hurriedly
rushed out replicas of the
clothes worn by this Liverpoolian
guarteto The Whiskey-a-go-go,
a night club in Los Angeles
where the accent is on the Watusi
or Frug and the beat comes from
records, has helped popularize
the discotheque dress (pronounced dees-co-tek) which originated
in Fraricea Also, from France
came the ye-ye look of French
pop singer Sylvie Vartan0 Broadway musicals have influenced
styles tooa Frilly, throat
hugging blouses and dresses were
copied from those worn in "Hello
Dolly" and "My Fair Lady". "Unsinkable Molly Brown" brought back
the empire waistline to evening
gowns. Its impossible to predict
what the next "sound" to catch on
will be but its almost certain
that fashion"promoters won't be
far behind with a corresponding

experienced Vernon players
defeated Revelstoke in a 4 - 0
victory* Vernon? North Okanagan
Champs,, will go to the South

mere thought of daylight closes
them tight again. Inside my head

as red, green, and gold stars

out and my tongue has a thousand

P. Lear son was on his third
week of campaigning and he . '
hadn't given a speech yet.
Speeches, to him, were the
worst pc.rt of the whole election.
He lost out last year because
the public never got to hear
what he was standing for. Bverytime Learson got up to present
his ideas, he would either
forget them or stutter so much
no one could understand him.
This year, everything was
going to be different for Learson
At the public appearance next
week, he knew he was going to be
calm, cool, and collected* He
had a whole week to practise so
he knew it would be perfect.
Now it was Learson' s turn
to stand up in front of all those
people and he wasn't at all
nervous! He calmly collected his
papers off his desk arid proudly
walked to the stand. Then he
began his introduction which he
had memorized,
"Ladies, gentlemen and my
opponents. My name is P.
Learson and I'm running for a
ood party

But from here on in had to
look at his notes so he opened
his book and read the first

one mistake and he wasn't
nervous at all,! Now for the

I had Just finished making a

frantic phone call for an
ambulance and I was not sitting
down crying like a year old baby.
The events that led up to this
catastrophy began seeping into my
mind.
It had all started only six
hours before. The sky started to
cloud over and the air became
very still. It felt as if the air
was sticking to your body, .7e
knew then we were in for some
kind of a storm, Two hours later
we could S3e"Eell" heading out
.way. Out of the west came the
twisting funnel of destruction.
The twister was heading straight
for us. At that moment it looked
like a gigantic black cloud
sweeping over the prairies,, -./e
began putting the livestock and
machinery away hurriedly. For
three hours we worked our lie ads
off attempting to put everything
away.
I looked up and there It

and the mightly twister, filled
up with its fallen trees, small
sheds and all kino's of other
debris, was no;/ in all its glory*

proceeded into the basement, while
my husband took one last look
around. The next thing I knew
the door was slammed shut and my
husband was still outside, I
could see the door being tugged
at, but it wouldnjt open, and
I pushed but still no results. I
sat down and prepared for the Hell
which was to arrive, and prayed that
my husband would live through it.
For ten minutes all I could hear
was an unbelievable roar. Then
it was quiet and I headed for the
open air. In the distant east I
could see the twister, and all
around me what it had left.
Nothing but shambles. The barn was
on fire and the house was a
complete wreck. I found my
husband clinging unconscious to
the bedposts in the house. That
That twister had ruined six long
years of building in ten short
minutes.
I was aroused from my daydreaming by the distant" wailing
of the siren. Back in reality
realized that we would have to
rebuild and only hope that this
was a once in a lifetime experience,

THE BUS
-.
The bus raced along the high- 1
way like a charging bull ready to
squash anything that got in its
way. The gleam in its eyes and the
sly smirk on its face showed that
it would reach its .destination.
The dull roar of its motor gradually increased as it graded the
steep incline. It's voice pierced
the air with a shrill "beep".
