Hardly was school opened
last Friday morning, when one
of the Grade 9 boys came in to
tell us what “plethora” means,
(The Grade 9's might be a little
rambunetious,’but they never
Jet us down in the crunch.)

As you know, “plethora”
‘means a “auper-abundance” and
when we apply It to school
clubs, that’s what we have up
here! There are so many clubs
that they are running into one
another, and the trouble fs that
students find it hard to divide
thelr interests.

Bosides all the team
sports, we have bowling and
curling. Then there will be
boxing, weight Hiting, gymnas-
tles, golf and swimming! There
is the hobby club (boys’ IE
projects) and the chess club,

We have knitting, weav-
Ing, crocheting, cake decorating
and Iibrary, We have tab book
club, speech arts, annual, news-
paper and good guys. We have
the breakfast club, the foster
parents’ club and the table
tennis club, as well as an
extremely active students’
council and a very well organ: .
ized house sports program.

What we don't have and
what we need is a co-ordinating
committee that will try to
schedule club meetings to avoid
conflicts,

If any students feel the
urge to help out, we'd better
warn theml Three more clubs
are appearing on the horizon—
not the least of these is a
proposed boys’ cooking club.
‘The boys interested in joining
this club feel they could flap a
mean hoteake and show the

girls what camp cooking really
means. They would like to
invent a super hamburger that
would go down in history as the
“Cobra Special".

The girls, on thelr part,
might start a “dessert club”. On
Friday they turned out deli-
cious chocolate cake and ice
eream concoctions that were a
real treat.
