Upon receiving my progress
report,I did a lot of thinking. I
cried for quite a while arid felt
totally disgusted with myself.
.Just then I had the feelings of
how the 1930 depression must
have been and somehow knew
that the battle, indeed, was just
ahead.
A progress report is an
estimated evaluation of your work
over the last month and a half -- a
mere estimate -- nothing to be
upset about -- right?
I am certain others felt the
same frustration and defeat which
I experienced. You are mentally
drained, over-tired, impatient,
and depressed because of
mounds of homework and
studying; and for what? A
medium mark, a failure? There
has been no time for family,
friends or relaxation. Little time
for enjoyment. You keep putting
things off, like sitting down with a
good book, a walk among the
autumn trees, conversing with old
friends, because surely there will
be more time later -- after your
studies are done.
But you know, I'm sure that
this can not be the purpose of
school. They can't possibley want
intelligent, isolated, little
machines, with pencil and
calculator in hand, a diction which
ksists 4- of chemistry equations
:ri a: historical facts, bags down to
your cheeks from lack of sleep,
two diplomas in hand, and three
degrees behind your name. This
would not be education to most of
us: it would be destruction.
Of course. Marks are
important. They are a vital
element if you plan to continue to
post secondary education and also
needed for your own satisfaction
as a measurement of
achievement. But there are other
things of much greater
importance and for these you will
find no digit on your report card.
What I am speaking of are the
components which make you a
person. Like understanding
yourself as an individual, how
your body functions, how your
emotions work; the way you
inter-act with other people. Once
you have accomplished this basic
knowledge of yourself, then you
will be' more Capable in helping
out with others' problems and
even much more competent in
sharing others' happiness, -
I ant certainly not ekpresitig
the thought that marks,
achievement, diplomas and the
rest of it are* not important, but
my point is they are not
everything. Don't be turned into a
machine; development should go
on in all areas, not just
academically. Take time and
enjoy the things around you,
appreciate a day with lots of
sunshine, notice a child's smile,
and take the time for loved ones.
Don't close them out behind
books - - they may not always be
there.

About 170
students
form
choir
If you've noticed a few
pleasantly harmonic sounds
drifting through the halls of our
school in the paSi few weeks.
don't be alarmed. It's probably
the "F. E. Madill School Choir"!
That's right; the '76-'77 school
body has done it again! We've
comprised the first sizeable
F.E.M.S.S. choir since music was
discontinued as a subject in our
school.
The support of the choir has
been fantastic, with about 170
student showing an interst in a
chance to let loose their musical
talents! Mrs. Douglas directs this
mixed choir, with help from Mrs.
MacDonald. Several students
from within the school will
accompany them on both plane
and organ. Of course, all
practices take place during
various classes' throughout the
week, which is an added incentive
to be in the choir! After all, who
wouldn't rather sing than study??
Future plans of the choir are to
musically entertain' at various
assemblies and Concerts. In
November, they will perform at
the school's Armistice Assembly,
and at Commencement: Plans for
the Christmas Assemblyi Home
Ec. Fashion Show, and Huron.
