O ONTARIO LOTTERY CORPORATION October 31st ,...„..„. ri Interesting art display in library This week, the library has been brightened by various wall- angings and framed pictures. The artists are interesting in hemselves. Many are Canadians who have studied in Canada and here are also various artists from Germany, England and the Netherlands. Some of the artists epresented are James Kemp, Thelma Rosner, Zarski, Pat Merley and B en Linssen. The art comes from the London Art Gallery and it is presented by "Extension Services" which is funded by 'the National Museum orporation. The art is abstract, and herefore thought unusual by some of the more immature tudents who have expressed unnecessarily rude comments on he sheet provided. However, it is• lot the opinion of the majority, and the time and effort to present 'Ito us is very much appreciated. Student exchang Y partner's name was Danielle Fortier,. who liVes..,in St. filbert, a suburb of Montreal. She arrived in Kitchener on tine 29, 1976. While she was at ur home We visited London, Kitchener, Niagara Falls and the Seiente Center in TorOnto,. We alSo attended a buffet luncheon Plit 4 L the C.C.C. (Canadian Council of Christians and jeWs). We left for Montreal on July 13. While there we visited Man apd trIS World, the C.C.C.J. candle ddle t A and Van D 1 111 went to school here but she still finds everyone "very nice to get along with". Teaching three grade nine, one grade ten and three grade twelve math classes doesn't leave her much time to wander about, but she still finds herself a little lost in the new wing of the school. Mrs Elston enjoys the assemblies since they were something Goderich had very rarely and also finds the students "very keen" at them. As a teacher she hopes "each student will live up to his own abilities" and she feels that her duty lies in attempting to motivate the students as well as she can. As a wife, mother and full-time teacher she hasn't got any personal philosophy but to take things- "one day at a time" although she is a firm believer in the "Golden Rule." We welcome Mrs. Elston back .to Wingham High School and we wish her much success in the future. Eleanor Johnstone Mrs. Lynda Elston nee Lynda keavie, although no stranger to wi ngham, is new to the teaching, staff at Madill. She was born and raised in Wingham where she attended both public and high school. After graduating from grade 13 Mrs. Elston went to Western University in London where she majored in psychology and math. Mrs. Elston lived in residence at Western for part of her first year but moved soon after she left the window open in her room causing the radiator pipes to freeze and break. The water that flooded her room made the rug shrink along with her popularity! Of all times for the rad. to break on the day of the University's annual ball. No one appreciated having to get ready in the cold rooms while it was being fixed. Perhaps this incident is a contributing factor to her receiving her diploma in two years rather than three. Upon graduation from Western, Mrs. Elston went to Althouse College in London where she received her teaching diploma. She then returned to Wingham where she has lived for the past five years commuting to Goderich where she taught math to our arch-rivals at Goderich Collegiate Institute. The Elstons had a baby in June and Mrs. Elston joined the math department at Madill so she could be closer to home. Mrs. Elston admitted that she enjoyed teaching at Goderich but that "Wingham is a little better. After all, I'm a product of it." Incidentally, Mr. Elston is also a graduate of Wingham High School). She does find it a bit like being "a student in the staff- room," since some. . Of 'the's' teachers taught her when she THE SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL'team played against South Huron winning the game with a score of 26-18.- Madill girls are on defense.
