12 -Orono.Weekly Times, WednesdaySeptember.28, 1994 r .BOTTO'%MI::.... Thoughzs From The Top: I wonder how good will aur' Spirit Days be? Cover Siory I arn not trying ta run Clarke down or anything. Well 1 was given the privilege ta cover last week's evacuation. My first bit of recearch came ta the conclusion that everything had turned out okay. Thougb as I ventured further into it. Well, I will just say every rose, lias a thorn. I keep thinking, how can we make aur Spirit Days succeed? Well to every question there is an answer and with every question asked is the desire of knowing the truth. The famous answer of the question is ... when wc go forth in arranging aur Spirit Days, we should do it with a positive attitude and the desire of wanting ta succeed. If Clarke's Student Council goes at this the right way, we., could establish sehool spirit that Clarke neyer kncw before. The job thaï Student Cauncil has donc 50 far on establishing school spirit has been tremendous. With Welcome Day, a good turn out at the dance and The Harvest Moon During the past week (September 18-24). wc have experienced the annual appearance of the "Harvest Moan". This yearly event happens at the full moon occurring nearest the "Autumnai Equinox". This date, in the northern hemisphere, is usually September 22. The moon, at this time of the year, rises only a few minutes later each night, thus providing several nigbits with bright moonlight, which allawed farmers, before the advcnt of tractors and combines, ta continue ta harvest their crops int the late evening. Hence the name "HARVEST MOON". While this event bas been recognized by early farmers for generations, ils cause went pretty much unexplained. The sun, the moon and the planets follow a path around the earthcalled the "Ecliptie". At tie prescrnt lime the carth's axis is inclined at 23 degrees and 27 minutes ta the ecliptic. Twice during the year the sun-crosses tie equatar, on March 21st which is known as the "Vernal" equinox and again on September 22nd, the 'Autumnal" equinox. On these dates, the sun is directly over the equator and great assemblies, they are off toaa good start., But like the old saying goes, "Why can't we make il better?" We are rapidly approaching October and we will have ta try, to make October better. September was a month ta remember. But lets make October unfargcutable. With the first Spirit Day only a week away, my advice to the counicil is, "With a little imagination and a littie group work, the Spirit Day can go a long way.' In Other News: Clarke began ît's annual fundraiser of selling chocolate bars on Friday. Derek Barton, who bas won the fundraiser two years in a row says he is hoping ta win for the third straight year. I myself, have won the fundraiser, although that was thrce years ago. In the Future: 1> Student Council are planning activities for Halloween. Thec first school hliay ... Thanksgiving, is only a week away. September was a busy month, let's make October busier.. boittam lne. we have equal periods of day and night. During most of the year the moon moves eastward about 12 degrees, from nigbt ta nigbt. This means the moon rises ini the east an average of 50 minutes later each night. However, according ta Terence Dickinson, one of Canadas best known astronomers, "the'orbit of the moon (ecliptic) related ta- the tilt of the earth's axis results in the moon movine in its orbit along a trajectory nearly parallel to the eartb's horizon on the days near the equinox. This means that the lime interval between successive risîngs is much shorter than average. In southern Canada and the northern U.S. the moon rises about 25 minutes later eacb night around the equinox. Thus for several nigbts, near full moon, there wil be bnigbt moonlight all nighit, if there is na cloud, when harvesters can make the best use of it." The next full moan, after the harvest moon, exhibits the same phenomena but ta a lesser degree, and is called the hunter's moon. An event similar ta the harvest moon is observed in the southern hemisphere at the spring equinox on or about March 21st. Mke eveiy week Waste Reduction Week.
