Although school touches on many facets which help the adolescent become an adult, I think that acquiring the ability to express ones self is perhaps the most necessary to function in our ever Changing Society. First, I feel you should learn the art of communicating with individuals and groups because you as 'a person are important -- your opinion counts, but only if you let it be known. Within the classroom we experience situations where it is essential for the student to relate his particular thoughts to a selected event. Often your feelings are so intertwined with schedules and problems that they seem smothered; in such a situation there can be no clear' solution or way of -expression.• Peer groups within the class, activities and sports usually share similar ambitions and doubts which you as a student also have: They c'an often help untangle your inferiorities or compulsiceness or whatever is choking your ability to relate to others and to express yourself-as one' who is counted. Another Major reason or you to be able to express emotions and ideas is so that you may influence and help' other People: The insecure' need encouragement, the lonely crave friendship, the old require companionship; the young .mak have teacherS; the' joyful Seek the light-hearted; the Editorial Mary Anne Alton The Grade 10 Agricultural and special education students of F.E.Madill journeyed to the plowing match at Walkerton on Sept. 29. (These were the students who got to go without skipping classes) The students were allowed the freedom to view the site according to their own interests Student council This year's student council, under the direction of President Brian Jeffray is hard at work getting events organized for the coming year. The full . council has finally finished plassing blidgets so the activity clubs can now get underway., The first school dance was held on Friday, September 24 with the band "Chillum” providing the music. From all accounts the dance was a 'great' success. "Grade Nine Night" is coming up on FridayOctober 15. This will be an entire evening devoted to making the grade nine students feel welcome at Madill and it will give them a chance to get acquainted with one another. There will be games, -entertain- meneby the drama club, supper, and to top it off, a sock hop will be held. Senior students will be helping throughout the evening, so come on out grade nines, Friday, October 15 is your night. If anyone has some new ideas or suggestions, let the !Student's council know. We want everyone to take an interest in what goes on at Madill. Eleanor Johnstone mourning need words of comfort. The clarity, of expression your worth in these areas of expression can often be minimized. Perhaps the reason that we attempt to hide our thoughts is because we feel so insignificant in our world of technologists, politicians, economists and white- collar workers. We think that our individual role or train of thought has no importance of influence to anyone-. A second factor could be our insecurity as teenagers in a society of rapid changes. Generally young people feel "' ridiculed and of no particular value. Now society provides no set category for us. We are being tossed around like a frisby back in to the security of childhood, forward in to the frightening adult world; we feel we must get a job and become independent, but perhaps we should hold our status as a student. So how can we talk, when really, there is no platform from which to deli ver our speech? The only solution close at hand is to fight--not physically,• violence means little-- but with' words. Word of intelligence, meaning and action. Be prepared to accept the results and ready ydurself to contend with the It'sresponsibili es. scary to think that you are just one little person against all those millions, but just remember, everyone else is dust one person too.

From their reports later it appears 'that some were drawn to specific exhibits and some saw a little of almost everything. Most found the machinery exhibits to be' the main attraction. The wide range of sizes plus the enormity of -the- larger implements impressed the students. They were • both impressed and depressed by the prices. The different cattle breeds were exhibited with the new exotic breeds being of special Optimism and enthusiasm are two words which apply quite well to the' air about the 1976-77 yearbook club. Under the capable editor, Eileen Fischer, and her assistants Donna Gamble and Sylvia Dickison, the "Courier '77'.' Promises to be one of the best F.E.Madill Yearbooks ever! Of course, ,their helpful staff and advisors must not be forgotten. They are Mr. Morrison and Mrs. Garland. There are about thirty members in this club, who are involved in the many tasks to be finished before the book "Goes to the press". Yearbook sales have been progressing quite well during the past two week s with 450 of the projected 800 already sold. They can be bought in hard or soft cover editions, at very reasonable prices when the real' value of these "Books of Memories" is considered. Many new and original ideas for both photography and editing interest to many. For true inside information there was a "Walk- In" cow. The parade was a focal point of the day with the cart drawn by 2 pigs --seeming to hog much of the attention. , Those who actually got out to see the ploughing were amazed at the perfection demanded of the competitors. Beautiful weather plus interesting and varied exhibits combined to make the 1976 ploughing match a pleasurable learning experience. were gained this summer by the two deledates who attended a yearbook camp on the U.W.O. -C-ampus in London. These people were 'Donna Gamble and Eileen Fischer,. Future plans are to raise enough money to enable next year's yearbook to have a colour section. New photographic equipment is needed to produce clearer, brighter pictures. So, if you want to be part of the editing of this Year's "Courier", support -the yearbook club. After all, any group. that gives away free "Smarties" with each membership has got to be going places!! Mary Eadie Smile Drive Carefully!
