Following her graduatiniio'nliss Mclvor worked in Detroit at United Airlines as a reservations agent. After her work in Detroit, she came back to Ontario and worked as a clerk typist for Ontario Hydro in Aylmer. She then attended Toronto Bible College. Her next job took her to the Toronto Board of Education as a guidance secretary. 1t was here that she became interested in a career in teaching, so she became a part time student at York University. Miss Mclvor first taught at Lion's Head District School in the Bruce Peninsula. When a position opened in Wingham, she took the job, because' she wanted to be closer to her home town of Aylmer. This year Miss' Mclvor teaches first and second year typing, and third year office practice. Miss Mclvor feels that there is a caring attitude here at Madill, between students and teachers. She feels that it is easy to teach students because most . of them realize that there is a need for rules. Because of this, there are very few discipline problems. Another point she mentioned about students is that they have a sense of humor about school life. It is not that they are laughing Junior volleyball team win Both Junior and Senior boys volleyball teams are enjoying winning seasons. The Junior team is in first place in the Huron league, The Senior team is also in first plate having lost only one match to Goderich in the first tournament. Huron Perth is being held here at F. E. Madill on Thursda.34. October 20. Both Junior and Senior teams will be participating so come on out and cheer them on to victory. Gord Kinahan 13B boys. Freda Renink finished fifth in the senior girls division. If you have been down the main hall at all these past two weeks, you will probably have noticed the table sitting in front of the trophy case. This is where the yearbooks are being sold. Yearbooks sales started off very well with about 300 orders being taken for this year's Courier. Things have slowed up a bit, however, and as of Tuesday, October 11, about 700 have been sold-, So far the Gracie 9's make up about 17% of the sales; the Grade 10's with 22%; the Grade 11's with 26%; the Grade 12's with 23%; thq Grade I3's with 6%; and the teachers with 2%. about everything, but rather, they don't have "Monday morningitis" every day of the week. She also feels that the administration of the school is excellent. Miss Mclvor says that she is happy here. Miss Mclvor is a Christian, and , ' feels that personal happiness comes through being reconciled to God, and through personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ. • Miss Mclvor has recently become interested in rug, hooking although she says she is not adventurous enough yet to design her own patterns. Her favourite colours are the earth tones. One of Miss Mclvor's favourite activities is to visit her aunt and uncle's farm near Aylmer, where—she likes to take long walks with her dog, and do some trail biking. Miss Mclvor had lived in Clinton but, because fo the severity of last winter, she. has taken an apartment in Wingham. We hope that Miss Mclvor will stay here, and that she will. continue to be happy here. Steven Johann Grant Gnay is top player Coaches Mr. Lane and Mr. Mali must have been feeling somewhat down on -Thursday, October 6 for that was the unfortunateafternoon of the game of the Madill Junior Football team at Stratford Northwestern. To put it simply, we lost 34-9. But there was one bright spot in the depressing gloom of that day. Grant Gnay, in that game, scored a touchdown along with having punted a single. Again, yes you guessed it, Grant scored a 2 point conversion which saved the brave Mustangs from being completely obliterated in the muddy field. Congratulations also must go out to Grant for being chosen for the worthy position of "Player of the Week". Hopefully the upcoming game against Stratford Central on our own Wingham field will be a complete turnabout. ' Dianne McBride 10F Although the Grade 13's and the teachers have the lowest percentage of sales, remember that they also have the smallest numbers. Eight hundred year- books must be sold or there will not be a yearbook. You will not be able to buy a yearbook in the spring when they arrive, so order now and get in on a good thing. Besides, I have it from a reliable source (the editor) that this year's Yearbook be just fantastic". As the year of 1977.78i gets underway, we begin. to wonder how the new classes of grade nine students are fitting in. To get an idea of how they feel about high school, we asked some grade nine pupils we met in the halls at random the following question: "What do you find most different in high school?" One of the boys we asked was By the way, this year's Editor is Patti Stewart. The assistants to the editor are Vicki Netzke and Wanda Colvin and Cathy Walters is Chief Photographer. These people are really enthusiastic and the Yearbook Club has lots of members who are enthusiastic too. All this enthusiasm is bound to bring good results. So, don't wait, order your "fantastic" yearbook now while you. still can! Karen Tilson Robbie Nicholson, 9H. When asked he promptly answered, "That's easy--there's more girls to choose from!" Brian Tempas 9K, was the next "ankle biter" questioned and he finds it a change rotating from room to room and having so many different teachers.
