"PRINT! REPEAT PRINT!"

	Mr. Wood, a History teacher, has been teaching for fourteen
years, six of which were at John Rennie. He taught for two years in
Sussex, N.B., for six years at various schools in Quebec, and has been
teaching here ever since.

	He thinks sincerity is the most important quality in a student
and likes hard-working students who ask sensible questions and do a
little work on their own. He dislikes intelligent students who don't
work.

	Since he came to John Rennie, there are more people and more
ethnic groups. Some students are better and some not as good as those
he taught before. He would like to see more self-discipline in the
students; for instance, he considers the present attendance system a
necessary waste of time.

	When asked about his funniest experience involving his students
he recalled that once a student fell asleep in his class but this was
not the funniest incident; they've done everything they possibly could
in fourteen years.

AUTUMN GLORY 					IAN MACDONELL

As I walk down this path in the centre of the forest, I marvel at the
bitterness with which the cold has attacked. The healthy, soothing
emerald shades are gone, and they have .been replaced with bloody
scarlets and sallow yellows. The concussion must have been terrible
for blood has erupted and stained the leaves, and many trees now have
a sickly, jaunticed complexion. It is neither autumn gold nor sap-
phire coulour which has gained dominence, but instead a disease that
has ravaged the woods and left them .weak and dying.  This annual
pestilence, carried not by rats but by temperature, kills with a slow
and steady note, rising in tone until the trees have died in pro-
longed agony. The mangled condition soon has hit its peak in gore,
and the trees become leprous, their leaves rotting and falling away
at the touch, leaving only bare skeletons, the ashes of the Phenix.
