TASTES GOOD--Vice Principal Mr. K. Wood dives
into an enjoyable but quick Christmas dinner served
by Mr. Lee and his staff on Tuesday, December 14.
Approximately 650 students and staff members took
advantage of the mouth-watering 75 cent meal.
the house before December 25 is
bad luck, but on Christmas Day, a
circular arrangement of mistletoe
is the focal point of the Christmas
celebration. Roast boar has been
replaced by a holiday bird on
most dinner tables, accompanied
by rich cakes, pies and puddings
symbolizing the offerings of the
Wise Men.
In Austria, being a pre-
dominantly Catholic country,
Christmas Eve is the high point of
the three day holiday celebration.
Churches 'throughout the country
open their doors for midnight
mass, after which families gather
for a festive Christmas supper.
Mushrooms are a symbol of good
luck in Austria, hence they
appear on the menu along with
fried carp and rich cholate cake
called Sachertoite.
The holiday season in Sweden
actually starts on December 13,
St. Lucia's Day, on which saffron-
flavoured yeast buns are
prepared and eaten. Swedes
traditionally serve a magnificent
smorgasbord on Christmas Day.
Often the dishes range from a
whole roasted ham to several
herring dishes, to platters .of head
cheese to sausages, red cabbage
and pickled beets.
Germany presented America
with two Christmas customs as
gifts -- St. Nicholas and the first
'real Christmas tree. The
gingerbread house and its
inhabitants are also German in
origin. The gingerbread man is
supposed to represent Adam and
Eve that was celebrated on
December 24 during the Middle
Ages.
And so, Christmas , is
experienced in various w ays in
many lands including Canada. No
matter how Christmas is
celebrated it is still one of the
happiest times of the year.

Looking at
VartOUS
At this time of the year, it is a
natural reaction for Canadians to
look at the various Yuletide
customs native to m any
European countries. Since
Canada itself is a mosaic of
cultures from Europe and
beyond, the Yuletide customs of
those foreign countries are
currently being adapted to the
Canadian way of life.
Holidays and food seem to go
hand in hand all around the
world. Although many nationali-
ties share the symbols of St.
Nicholas, the yule tree, and
exchange gifts, each culture has
an unique cooking heritage
surrounding the Christmas
season.
Caroling, blazing yule logs,
evergreens, and flaming plum
puddings all contribute to the
festivities of a Christmas in the
British isles. It is believed that
mistletoe, and holly brought into
Debating
teams active
On Thursday, December 10,
the F.E.Madill debating teams,
accompanied by Mrs. Tiffin,
travelled to the Goderich
Collegiate Institute to compete in
a prepared and an impromptu
debate.
The junior team consisted. of.
Linda Renwick, Alison Roberts,
and coach Ken De Boer. The team
came away with a victory in the
impromptu, "Children should be
told there is no Santa Clause,"
but lost the prepared debate to
the Goderich team making the
score 2 - 2.
Our senior team of Eileen
Fischer and Carol Jamieson
debated to a 4 - 0 win. The team
presented excellent :facts and
rebuttals in the prepared debate,
"There should be a prescribed
course of studies mandatory for
grade 9 and 10, as well as in the
impromptu debate, "Canada
should have an economic union
with the United States."
The next debate will be held in
Wingham on January 6, against
Exeter. We wish both teams the
very best of luck because we are
all very proud to have you on "our
team".
