There seem to be many
occasions in our lives when we are
"Speechless" and it seems there
is just nothing to say! 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

the lonely crave friendship, the
old require companionship; the

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.

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

Promises to be one of the best
F.E.Madill Yearbooks ever! Of

advisors must not be forgotten.
They are Mr. Morrison and Mrs.

members in this club, who are
involved in the many tasks to be
finished before the book "Goes to

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

prices when the real' value of
these "Books of Memories" is

Future plans are to raise
enough money to enable next

equipment is needed to produce
clearer, brighter pictures.
