LETTER TO THE EDITOR
	Dear Editor:
		I would like to comment on this scbool's shield. I think that
	what I am about to say is also applicable to all the West Island Prot-
	stant schools.
 
		It seems to me that, whoever designed this shield did not really
	understand the subtle meanings of many innocent looking symbols. I
 	refer to the yellow line, running from the top right to the bottom left
	of our coat of arms, commonly known in Heraldry as a "bend sinister."
	The meaning of this line I found, in both Boutell's "Heraldry" and the
	Encyclopedia Bitannica, to mean that the owner or wearer is an
	illegitimate child.

	Unless, as I am certain it is not, this school is entitled to
	this "honour", I suggest that the shield or shields be re-arranged!
	
	"legitimately" yours,

	David Powell
  
		
			ATTENTION - ACTIVISTS 

	To destruct is easy and requires little intelligence and 
	frequently a good deal of personal spite. Vandalism is
	a good example of destruction.

	To construct is difficult and requires intelligent plan-
	ning and research of definite - not vague - programs.

	Any student at John Rennie who has constructive ideas 
	about the future of education is requested to submit 
	them to the paper.
 
	Conversely, any student who is happy with the "status
	quo" is also encouraged to state his or her views.

	Come on - let's hear it for the future of education!
