As I was scurrying around,
racking my brain to find a club I
had not already reported about
this year, I suddenly realized that
I had left out the one club that
makes this whole page possible.
That's right, I almost forgot one
of the most dedicated groups in
the school, the School Page.
The editing of the Madill
Mirror requires a lot of time and
talent on behalf of all involved.
Belonging to this club is an
excellent experience, especially if
you are interested in pursuing a
career in journalism.
Joan Leishman is the very
capable editor, and Mary Anne
ton is the equally capable
ssistant editor. These two
eserve a lot of credit. Mr.
amsma serves as the staff
dvisor, and has helpful advice as
ell as a censor's talents when
hey are needed.
"Let Me Die"

Should a man have the right to
oil the plug on a machine that is

What should, be done?

Mirror
Each reporter has a different
aspect of school life to cover on a
weekly, basis, so that both
students and the public can be
better informed about school
activities and student's views.
Anyone who has tried to create a
"literary work" on short notice
can imagine how difficult it is to
come up with a. new and
interesting article each week.
When a reporter hands in an
article, it is not time to .sit down
and rest, but rather to start
thinking about the next week's
article.
I hope this article does not
seem biased. I just think the
readers of this page should
realize the time and care that
goes into its creation. Without a
doubt, the standard of content is

I believe that when maintaining
a life means prolonging suffering
for hopeless cases, causing
emotional and financial stress to
the family, there is little purpose
in it. This brings us to the
inevitable question, "At what
point should doctors cease their
fight for life?" Physicians must
take an oath. This oath in short
states that they must do every-
thing within their power to
maintain life.
With the complex medical
equipment of today, hearts can be

When in
TEXAN
At 9:00 a.m. on Thursday,
April 21 the Geography 451 class,
escorted by teacher Mr. R.
Bender, boarded a bus for their
Kitchener trip.
The course mentioned above
involves, in part, studying urban
development of various towns and
cities in the area.
Kitchener is a very unique city
in a number of ways. The main
street of Kitchener is very long.
The students were paired off and
then distributed along various
points—on King, which is
Kitchener's main drag. Each pair
of students was responsible for
about 2 city streets, Using maps,
or making them if they were not
available they were to note any
changes in land use along their
territory. Also, at two specified
times, traffic and pedestrian
counts were taken.
By 11:15 a.m. all students were
to meet at the bus terminal for
their pick-up. Some students took
the city bus and others walked.
The girls were always prompt. It
was a number of guys who
delayed the bus.
After boarding the buss it was
down to Fairview Mall for lunch
and a short shopping spree. It
was the guys that were last to
board the bus again.
Kitchener has a very large
Industrial Park. It has been one of
the most successful cities in
Canada for attracting industry.
The park is located .3 or 4 ,miles
from the 401. The area is all
kept alive, completely through
the usp of machines. There is no
hope for their recovery. They are
vegetables unable to respond,
think or feel. Are they really
alive? Are we simply playing with
life, at the expense and pain of
others?
Could the equipment, money
and staff required in hopeless
cases, be put to better use in
saving the lives, (directly or
through research) of those who
have hope of recovery?
I appeal to . your sense of
humanity and love for your fellow
man. Should we not let these
people die in peace?) leave you
with this question. If you were
that young man screaming out in
pain "Let me die", "Kill me".
.would you want to be denied the
right to choose death?

`buildings with moveable walls are
also provided. ,
The Kitchener area is also
unique because it has 2 universi-
ties drawing 10,000 plus
students.
After a tiring but enjoyable trip
the students arrived back at
school by 4:15 p.m. The studies
made will be put together and
evaluated in class.
Georgraphy 341 Field Trip
• (By Cheryl Haldenby 12C)
On Tuesday,
April 26, seventy-three students
went to London under the
'direction of Mr. Cardy.
The purpose of this field trip
was to examine some of the
Urban Land use types within the
city of London.
The students were given a
workbook to complete during the
course of the field trip. Their first
task was on the way to the
University of Western Ontario.
The students were to notice the
transition from rural environment
quickly into the city environment
and also some of the very high
class houses located on the higher
land overlooking London.
Labatt's mansion was particularly
drawn to their attention. As the
students passed these places they
would answer a number of
questions given to them by their
teacher, Mr. Cardy.
Next, they went to the Univer-
sity of Western Ontario where
various buildings and types of
land were described by the
instructor. Then the bus travelled
on to the suburban area of the city
on the block of Huron Street,
Adelaide Street and Kipp's Lane,
This is a relatively new type of
land use in the- cities and the
students along with a lot of
Geographers- and City Planners
found a lot of favour in it.
The student's first stop was the
Shopping plazas in London. After
the students had done their
evaluation of the plazas, they had
lunch and were given the
opportunity to do a little

After a short break the bus
'reloaded and the students went
,for a driVe down the "Golden
:Mile" which is. an Industrial area
:of the city. The students then
were taken to the corners of
Richmond and Oxford where they
:examined a problem area of the
:city (to city planners anyway)
called the "blighted area."
Then the bus unloaded and the
students began their walking
tour. They viewed Eldon
House, Labatt Restoration, New
Middlesex County Courthouse,
South-West Corner of Ridout- and
King Streets, London Market,
C.N. Station Area, Wellington
Square, Iroquois Hotel Site,
Dundas Street, London City
Centre, Ye Olde City Hall Restau-

Armouries, Zone of Pressure,

Public Library and Art. Museum,
North Side of Queen's Avenue,
London Life Insurance Company,
Metropolitan United Church,
London's New City Hall,
Centennial Hall, Victoria Park,
Old Residential Area, St. Peter's
Bascilica and Zone of Change.
After this tiring day the
students reloaded and started
home. They arrived at the school
about 4:05 p.m. after a long, but
exciting and informative day of
geography.
