HIGHLIGHTS
from the
HIGH SCHOOL)
Around School
Well, you might think things would
cool off a little around Wingham Dis
trict High School after the heat of
Easter examinations, but that is just
the opposite to what has really hap
pened.
The fact that our annual Cadet In
spection Day is on May 10th, is creat
ing quite a bit of activity around our
dear old institution.
Mr. Heney and the various student
officers are turning grey trying to
teach some of those long-legged boys
to march like real soldiery. It must be
quite a job, but we aren’t too worried’
because everybody seems to catch the
martial spirit when the great day rolls
around.
Mrs. Williams is making a real pro
duction out of the girls’ gymnastic
display, and these W.D.H.S. gals in
their uniform costumes promise to be
one of the big attractions of the day.
Then there is the band. If the mar
ching back and forth before the
school keeps up, we’ll soon need a re
paving job on Carling Terrace. Mr.
Jackson, in charge of the bugle band,
has had his little group marching
up and down tooting and drumming
for quite a number of days. Mr. Jack-
son is even ^thinking of organizing a
fan club among the dozens of local
children who gather at the school
every afternoon at three o’clock to
hear the music.
The building of the new school 4s
another notable activity. Machinery
always seems to draw a crowd that
English, history and French can’t do.
Some of the teachers have threaten
ed to draw the blinds on the windows
that face the site of the new building.
The girls, especially, seem to have
trouble concentrating.
Remember, the public is invited to
our big cadet inspection, and we are
hoping to have a big crowd on hand
for the event.

and next week the singles will begin.
Most of those students who took part
in the doubles are looking forward
to these singles and hoping they will
enjoy them as much as they enjoyed
the doubles.

Concert in Toronto
During the Easter holidays, eight
students from Wingham District High
School journeyed to Toronto tp sing
in an all-provincial choir, which is
formed every year to entertain the
teachers attending the Teachers’ Fed-
ration. The students were Dave Dona
hue, George Hall, Don Edgar, Neil
Eadie, Ken Holmes, Ivan McKague,
Shirley Bradbum and Pat Rider. We
spent a very enjoyable time in Tor
onto, from Tuesday morning until
Thursday morning, and had the op
portunity of meeting students from
many parts of the province, including
Ottawa, Niagara Falls, London,
Guelph and Windsor, to name a few.
This year the choir was conducted by
Don Wright, leader of the Don Wright
Chorus.
The girls went to Toronto with Mr.
Madill, while the boys went with
George Hall. In order to be at the re
hearsal by 8.30 or 9.00 a. m. on Tues
day, we had to get up with the birds,
(although we didn’t go to bed at the
time they did), and be out of Wing
ham by 5.15 a.m. We arrived in good
time, and after registration got right
down to rehearsal. We also rehearsed
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
morning at the Jarvis Street school,
and Wednesday afternoon at Eaton
auditorium. Then the big night came,
Climax of weeks of practice.
The choir ^ang eight pieces, The
members of the string orchestra came
from different cities in Ontario, and
were conducted by John A. Montague,
The Pboir was Accompanied by mem
bers of the North Toronto Collegiate
Orchestra, Alex Clark, phorus organist
for Don Wright. Solos were also in
cluded in the program. The concert
was a great success, and we hope the
audience enjoyed listening to the choir
as much as we enjoyed singing Jn it.
Mr. Wright is a very able conductor,
besides being a wonderful person;
We should like to thank the board
for giving students of Wingham this
opportunity to sing in the choir, and
we hope that the practice will be con
tinued in future years.

Table Tennis
For the past few weeks the students
of the W.D.H.S. have been playing
table-tennis. As you remember, the
literary executive decided to buy two
tables for table-tennis, which was to
be played during dinner hour.
The first doubles in the tournament
'among the girls was won by Audrey
Mahood and Lois Thompson, who de
feated Helen Wilson and Nancy Car
ter. Some of the girls taking part in
this tournament had never played
table-tennis before, and they did very
well considering this fact.
The boyg also had a table tennis
tournament. The winners in the boys’
double were Barry Fryfogle and Jim
Campbell, defeating Murray Shiell and
Ivan McQuillan.
Table-tennis can be played in doub
les or singles. The doubles are over

■Two Great World-Wide Organizations Unite
w
AND
Massey-Harris, pioneer in the farm implement industry, pioneer in power farming
equipment and world-leader in the self-propelled combine, now becomes greater
than ever by the acquisition of Ferguson—pioneer in the application of hydraulics
and the mounting of implements to make tractor, and implement an integral
unit—known universally as the Ferguson System, which has been much imitated
but never duplicated.
From the pooling of engineering skills, the more advantageous use of manufactur
ing facilities and efficiency that can be effected under a single management, the
new organization of Massey-Harris-Ferguson goes forward to make a greater
contribution than ever by developing new and more efficient machines to make
farming easier and more profitable. *
