2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, March 17, 1964 JAZZ, POETRY, MUSIC Ajax Reporter Urges Formation Of Clubs By ROD WILLMOT Well, here I am_ with POETRY, just as I said I'd be! However, I would like to em- phasize rihgt now that I am not just writing for fellow poets. In- stead, I am writing for all those. whose likings include any two of the following: paintings (preferably modern, their crea- tion or otherwise); coffee-houses (Toronto; the night; anything abstract; intellectual discus- sions; phi y; religion; jazz; classical music; folk-music; the writing of anything creative; the writing or reading of poetry. If you know someone who might be interested, or i you yourself are interested, in a pos- sible club that would be involv- ed with the above things, please either spread the word about this article, or, in the latter case, contac: me as soon as possible (Rod Wilmot, Box 774, Ajax). My design is to get things hoppin' in this small section of the poetry world -- and I hap- pen to know that I'm not the only 'hopper' around! There- fore, it follows that some kind of chub or society should be de- veloped. As I mentioned in last week's article, this could take simply the form of a collection of "col- leagues", spread over this area, communicating with each other -- by means of letters and oc- casional meetings. Or, if the response (from you, the reader) is great enough, a more defin- ite type of 'Poetry Society" liberal -- I'll consider sugges- tions from anybody. Consider this . . Although the main purpose of attending a meeting might be the sale of poetry, you could easily meet some interesting young person there having the same eccentric interest as you (strange candles, for example) . . . Ac- tivities other than meetings could mean such things as small-group trips to Toronto to attend concerts, lectures, art shows, and poetry readings , . . If you don't like crowds, you could arrange private get-to- gethers with two or three of your newly-found friends. Perhaps those "temptations"' will help to persuade you to sit down right now and write me a letter. For the small amount of time it will take, you may, even- tually, find it well worth your while. At least give it a try! But now let's take a look at some poetry. My piece below is by no means indicative of my other styles (though perhaps it is of the style in which my best is written!) It tells, more or less, a true story, but with the facts alter- ed a little in detail.

'Males Have Faults But They By SHEILA SHONIKER and CAROL EVANS Dear Jim, We are writing this letter be- cause of your article dated Tuesday, March 10; concerning women, We feel we must defend ourselves. First of all, you stated that "a woman is always late be- cause she wants to create a big impression". That is not true at all. For the first dates we are always ready on time, but then our dates start arriving 10 minues late and sometimes it creeps to even 20. There is nothing more frus- trating for a female than to be ready with her hair and make- -up just right and to have to wait for her date for 15 minutes. While she sits t widdling her thumbs, she goes to the mirror and checks herself using a little touch here and there. The truth is that at times the girl wonders if her date is going to show up at all. NO APPRECIATION While touching on the subject of appearance, there is some- thing else that 'bugs' females. No compliments! When you have spent most of the afternoon getting ready for an important date and you are wearing a new dress, a new coif- fure (hair-do for the ignorant), what does he say? Nothing. . Now .we're not talking about all boys because some are just the opposite. They compliment everything, even your new sneakers. I wish boys would reaiize they sound so false after they have complimented you so many times. The girl doesn't believe them anyway. "Cars, Pool, Girls". Our popu- Jarity poll is Cars, Pool, Poker, Baseball, etc., what the rest of the boys have planned and last and least, girls. re Great' have an inferiority complex from being placed as last man on the totem pole? With a girl it is entirely dif- ferent. Remember 'Love is a girl's whole life, it is but an episode in the life of a man', WIN FAIRLY We must agree with you that we are not defenceless women and few '(very few) girls break down and cry when they don't get their own way. Ninety per cent of us win our arguments fair and square. Your question about asking a girl where she would like to go and her reply ef 'I don't care' should be a compliment to YOU, although you fellows seem to be too dense to realize it. When a girl says 'I don't care', what she is really saying is 'I don't care where we go because I just like being with you. You don't have to take me to im- pressionable places and intro- duce me to important people to make me _ happy. I _ just want your company." : Gee, boys are stupid. Women have their weak- nesses, but so du men. So we think they should keep quiet. Girls think much more of boys than boys de of them, be- cause we have fewer hoobies, less money and no means of transportation to carry us out. On the other hand boys can take flight whenever they feel like it. Therefore girls have much more time to think about the opposite sex. We think it's.about time we drew a truce. Seriously speaking, we think boys are the greatest (apart from all their faults) aad we have a sneaking suspicion that boys think the same about girls. Right? (Call it women's intuition.) (Editor's Note: Jim McPeak says that he has been put in his place, humbly apologizes and Don't you think we should ' asks "Anyone for a date?"), 'program' consists of Visit Senior Citizens They go there to bring en- couragement, through songs, to the residents. At Hillsdale Manor many of the students go and visit personally with the senior citizens. This is just part of the Sabbath activities of our college. Sabbath morning activities start at 9.30 a.m. with Sabbath School, where studies of the Bible are given after a short program. The Sabbath School reports from foreign fields of mission work, investment or special projects reports, and several songs. After this program comes the lesson study, which usually is taught in small groups of six or seven by the students, to the students. At 11.00 a.m. our church ser- vice beings. This may seem odd to you, but, yes, we here at Kingsway keep the Sabbath of the 10 comandments, the sev- enth day of the week, for our day of worship. After worship at the church we have dinner in the cafeteria. This serves as a place for dis- cussing the message presented by the speaker at church. The afternoon is taken up with walks through the spacious acres of the campus, sunshine bands, or individual Bible study. After returning from sunshine bands we go to supper. Follow- ing supper we go again to the church for our sundown vesper service. This service denotes the closing of the Sabbath. At eight o'clock the social ac- tivities begin. Usuaully time flies rapidly as we watch excit- ing films about adventurous peo- ple who try to cross the islands of Borneo in an amphibious jeep or at other times we spend our extra energy playing volley- ball, basketball or just by roller- skating. Saturday is usually over by 10 o'clock but there are some occasions that prevent this time limit from being a set rule. Take the past Saturday night, for example. Several young men were up very, very late prepar- ing for the VVA reception. Jore bout Reception next week. : ' As you can easily see, Satur- day is an active day at Kings- way. An active day spiritually, and also, socially. AT ST. JOSEPH'S By EILEEN MENARD, St. Joseph's High Last week was vocation week in all the Catholic high schools. What does this mean? Well, it is a week set aside by the Archbishop in Toronto, for students to place some seri- ous thought on the vocation they choose. A student must put many hours of thought and prayer on this matter of his or her vocation because he will find true happiness. in living that vocation planned for him '| by God. What choose? There are three choices or states that a person has. These are the religious life where one is a priest, brother or sister dedicating his or her life to Christ; the. married state and the single state. It must be ex- plained that a vocation is far different from an avocation which is only the type of work or profession one holds in the state one chooses. On Monday we held a "yo- cation poster' contest. About fifteen posters were submitted and aH were excellent. They were judged by Sister Eliza- vocations can one Serious Thought Given To Vocation Choosing beth Anne, Art Specialist and Principal. at St. Gregory's School. Patrick Normoyle, 9B, won because his work possessed all three qualities of an excelent poster: simplicity, striking color and effective lettering. A chose second was Olga Kokot and in third" place were Bob Gannon, | Regina Gardiznska and Sylvia Simiana. : On Tuesday we had a publie speaking contest. All the speeches were extremely well done. First place was given to Judy Currie, 9A and there was a tie for second place between Adele Wilkinson - and Eileen Menard. On Wednesday, the of the program, we had as assembly in the auditorium. First, Sister Mary Sheila, the principal, announced the win- ners of both contests and awarded the prizes. Sister then related to us an account of the Sufferings of Christ as portrayed by the Sta- tions of the Cross. I think that many of the students were deep- ply moved as it was so beauti- fully done. Ends O'Neill By MARTIN SINGLETON, (OCVI Reporter) On Friday 13th, exams ended (approximately enough) and an Ides of March dance h:'ped to relieve the tension of 2 week- and-a-half of exams. Mr. Wiley and Mr. acted as fortune tellers. The Spring Prom committee is preparing for the biggest and the best prom yet. This may be your last chance to contribute articles to the literary section of the 1963-64 Acta Lundi. Last year only nine articles by eight authors were submitted in a school of over 1,100 students. Just think only two weeks of school and then 1@ days of glorious vacation. Here is the latest song offer- ed for use by the Silvertones, FIVE POINTS CURVE (With Apologies to Jan and Dean.) I was cruisin' in my Consul late last night, When a Morris Super Cooper pulled up on the right He rolled down the windows of his shiny new wheel And then he said '"'Hey Buddy can you hear me squeal." Lauson I said, "I'll take you on if you're wanting a drag, But I'm warning you Consul's as fast as a Jag. I'll go you one better if you have the nerve, And we'll race all the way to Five Points Curve. my We were buzzin each other on Friday night, We peeled off together under a yellow light A cloud of blue smoke was all that could be seen You should have heard the whine from my squealing machine, A Cop was draggin' after me but I paid no I shifted into second and I took the lead Friday 13th Dance Exams. I was sucking the Mini on our deadly drag And in the distance I could see a plaid flag. The Consul was ahead I was looking real. pretty (My fast little Consui could take them all at Drag City) I could see the Mini was losing his nerve Because the next big turn wag Five Points Curve. The last thing I knew, Doe, that fateful night Was my fast little Counsul showing the Mini its lights I showed them that a Scots- man really has the nerve But they were right when they said '"'You won't come back from Five Points Curve." EDITOR'S MAIL HITS DRIVERS Dear Sir: It has come to my atten- tion in the few short months that I have been a student in Oshawa that the drivers in this town are among the most discourteous in the North American continent. Nowhere else will you find drivers who persist in trying to run you. down while crossing at an inter- section, although you are crossing with the light. Haven't these morons got any brains? Don't they know that a pedestrian has the right - of - way on such a crosswalk and that they can get a ticket for such an action. Another thing that makes me mad is the driver who pulls halfway into the cross- walk and forces you to walk around his car. : What's wrong with the drivers in Oshawa?
