"Our High School y ears are
the best years of our life.
Students of W.D.H.S.5, utilize
these years to the best of your
•ability, look back on them with
fond memories, then look to the
future. What lies before you?
Whatever horizons bring, good
luck and best wishes for success
and happiness." The preceding
was an exerpt from the 1967
Centennial Year book written by
Gloria Reed, the Student Council
President and addressed to the
student body of nearly 1,000
students. In 1967 there were two
Ontario scholars at W.D.H.S.
While I was flipping through
the pages of this yearbook I
recognized some familiar faces
among the staff members. Mr.
Brandon was a greenhorn at
W.D.H.S. and his aspiration in
life was to retire at 45 years of
age. Not for a few years yet, eh
Mr. Brandon? Mr. Milosevic,
who also had just started to teach
at Wingham, was an avid stamp
collector. Mr. Simpson started
out his years at Wingham clad in
a three piece suit and his aim in
life was to be a contented man.
The school leader that year was
Ray Corrin. He had , an eye on a
M.D., degree. I'd say he had a
pretty good ai'm because nine
years later he• had his degree.
Lois Ferguson was the school
queen and she was planning on
attending University of Guelph.
In 1967 the graduating students
had to state their favourite motto.
J.P. Blackwell's motto was "If at
first you don't succeed, then
you're running about average."
Kay Hardie (Miss Hardie's sister
and very much alike in
appearance) had this motto,
"Y ouql only get out of life what
you put into life." Her probable
future was to become a nurse.
Well, sis, did she make it? Some
other interesting mottos were "If
you aim h igh you can't shoot
our foot off." or "Turn day
dreams into reality."
Compare notes! The top
chocolate bar salesman was Paul
Guest, who sold a total of 277
bars. For his efforts he received a
reward of $50.00. The Student
Council made a profit of over
$2,000.00. Did we do as well on
our last Chocolate Bar Drive?
Now switching to sports, the
football team tied for the Huron-
Perth Championship. If you can't
beat them join them. The Junior
and Intermediate cross country
teams made it to All-Ontario and
finished well. They must have
had a good coach; Right, Mr.
Stuckey? Mr. Gnay's wrestling
team was just inched out of the
W.O.S.S.A. title by Catholic
Central. The track and field teams
had their victories too. Yes, those
were the days when Miss Mary
Lillow was Miss Mustang. Was
school really any different during
the Centennial Year than now?
Students still got an education.
Athletes tried hard and
sometimes, they were I rewarded
by a victory. Things are still the
same. •
