"High Time"- A challenge
About one Month ago CKNX.
FM contacted Mrs. Tiffin. CKNX
FM Stereo 102 was searching for
two students to act as reporters
for their new show High Time.
High Time will start in mid April
and runs til school ends this year.
This program will consist of news,
coming events, profiles of Clubs-
or teams, sports reporting and
social events of the student body
at Madill, The reports will be
broadcast on a weekly basis and
will be aired between S and 6
p.m. Monday to Friday. Between
reports and other information
programs the latest hits from the
comtemporary musk, charts will
be heard.
The organizers of this program
want. High Time to be fun to take
part in, and enjoyable to listen to.
The object of reporting school
activities to CKNX FM is to result
in a • one:to-one level of
communciation with the listening
audience while at the same time
informing the audience of school
activities.
This could be a great advantage
to students if every student would
try to participate. The reporters
must have the cooperation of all
the students for this to be a
success.
As one student commented,
this school activity would be in
competition with the Madill
Mirror or. School newspaper.
Mrs. Marion Emerson has lived
most of her life in the Ripley area.
She was born in Huron Township
and was educated in Ripley. Her
formal high school education
ended after grade eleven, but
undaunted by a lack of money she
worked by herself at the grade
twelve and thirteen subjects,
tried the departmental
examinations and passed. At
Western University she earned an
Honours Degree in French. After
It is intriguing and unnerving
to consider what has happened to
the earth in the past one hundred
years and what might occur in the
next century. The country - and
the entire planet - will be altered
drastically. Pinpointing only one
probable change, the Interna-
tional Council of Scientific Unions
predicts the carbon dioxide
content of the earth's atmosphere
will increase at least fourfold and
possibly eightfold in the next two
hundred years. The increase will
be caused, says the Connell, by
pollution from stepped up
industrial activity on a global scale.
The effects these changes will
have on human habitation are not
lear at present. Even now,
however, scientists suspect that
he huge amounts of 'carbon
ddioxide emitted each day are very
slowlY heating the earth's
atmosphere. Even slight
ncreases in temperatures could
cause partial melting of the polar icecaps, The ensuing floods could
be catastrophic to life as we ktiovt, t.
The Council is concerned about
developing a global environ-
mental mailtoring System, This

Print and broadcast news has
been in competition for years and
it will continue to be in
competition. Yet if this activity
was independently organized and
run it should in no way interfere
or harm the school paper. There
will be those students who enjoy
sitting down to. a good editorial or
club profile. The school paper
won't be effected by this new
organization or at least shouldn't.
Broadcasting is just an outlet or
branch of print presented in a
more personal one-to-one
manner. High Time will give our
parents and friends, or students
from other secondary schools,
another opportunity to see our
This year, the positions of
school queeen and school leader
were bestowed on Ruth
Henderson and Jeff Bumstead.
Both have been active in activities
and sports throughout their high
school years.
Jeff has participated in
gymnastics, volleyball,
badminton, track and field as well
as being a class rep. to Student
Council for two years, and
maintaining a high academic
school as it really is.
There is also a final reason why
this type of program is beneficial
to. Madill's student body. For
those of us that are interested in
this type of work as a full time job
we can get a sample or taste of
what it would be like. It might
help us to make a major decision
for our future. Students are given
a fuller experience from something
they are personally interested
in.
Let's hope this experimental
program can be made a complete
success by our school. It is up to
students; and all we can do is try.

average. Ruth has been involved
in basketball, yearbook,
geography club, and like Jeff has
been on the honour roll for four
years. Ruth takes an active
interest in music, as President of
the Lucknow Band;also in the
FEMSS Choir, and she has her
grade 10 in piano. Both Jeff and
Ruth intend to go to University.,
Jeff majoring in Math, Ruth in
Science. Everyone joins in
wishing them the best of the luck
in the future.
Camera club
Have you ever wondered who
the "roving photographers"
around our school are? They are
probably among the members of
this year's Camera Club, and we
owe them a lot of credit,
There are about ten members
of this club, and Mr. Willis is
their staff advisor. They meet
every second Thursday in activity

Period, The students involved are
responsible for all those candid
shots in the school page and
yearbook, so if you're camera
shy, look outl You never know
when one of these photographers
may be lurking in your midst.
As well as taking pictures with
a choice of three school cameras,
the members of this club learn
how to use the dairkroom
equipment to develop their .own
pictures. One prominent, dark
haired male Camera Club
member in grade 12 tells me that
some good times have been had
in the darkroom.
This year, the Camera Club is
happy to have a new wide-angle
lens for taking better pictures of
large groups. In the future, this
club hopes to sponsor an
inter-school photo contest. The
subjects of the entries will
probably be restricted to photos
of "school life". If you are an
aspiring photographer, be
listening for further information.
So, the next time you see a
camera flashing, why not smile
and pose? You just might be the
famous subject of a prize winning
photo!

After getting married, Mrs.

moved to a farm near Ripley and
raised two sons. It was not until a
number of years later that she
returned to teaching, this time at
Ripley High School. Although she
was hired to teach French in

seven years in Ripley, she came
to. Wingham and is in her eighth
year as a French teacher here,
Anyone who has been in one of
Mrs. Emerson's classes knows
how warm, understanding and
humourous she is. Mrs. Emerson
knows how to get around people,
whether it be by teasing them into
class participation or by giving a
wink to give the students
confidence in themselves. She
genuinely likes young people and
in her classes the dominant
atmosphere is one of mutual
respect between her and the
students.
Mrs. Emerson is a great
follower of all sports and she
played ball in Ripley for
twenty-six years before hanging
up her glove. She has a number of
hobbies including oil painting
which she taught at night school,
crafts and Eastern Star work. She
also likes to travel and has been to
England, France, Florida and
eastern and western Canada.
Mrs, Emerson's genuine love
of young people is obvious as
you walk into her classes and this
serves to make her an excellent
