Basically the craft hasn't changed much down through the years. Around School by Catherine Keating Mr. Jackson has been doing some hinting and we think we know what he wants for Christmas. We have an idea that he would like to find the head of a certain young lady tucked away down in the toe of his stocking on Christmas morning. Sometimes we think he might not wait for Santa Claus to bring it, but just slice it off some day in Activities period. Well, our exams are over and we are glad, to say the least. We hope that none of the celebrations around town on Friday night kept any neigh- bors awake. By the way, while we are recovering from some of those Friday night "shin-digs" might be a good time to start studying for our Easter exams, Some of those Christmas marks are terrible. Well here we go again! This week again we're short of news because of the exams, so we're including another essay, this one by Barbara Gaunt, It was written on the Grade XIII English Composition ex- amination and received the highest mark. Wingham District High School 1961 The situation at Wingham District High School of 1951 looks grim to those who,,,,are forced to spent seven hours of each day within its battered walls. We seniors of Grade Thirteen know the full meaning of this state- ment. After four years of unceasing struggle we have reached the emin- ence of fifth form and on the way up we have become acquainted with the idiosyncracies of this monster mas- querading under the innocuous name of Wingham District High School. Those instruments of torture, the stools in the science room, are old familiar sights which habit and fam- iliarity have nevertheless failed to en- dear to us. The class-room walls, with their overcoating of years of accum- ulated dust and grime, fail to attract our attention until we rub an experi- mental damp cloth over them, What a shock it is to see their original colour. The rads which occasionally emit noises like a giant gargling his throat, the frigid crossing from the old to the new building, the daily line-up (or mix-up) for the soup or cocoa, have become routine events to us seniors. IMM1110011111.10111••=111111 Uninured to such hardships the juniors are optimistic enough to hope for something better, And who knows? Perhaps by 1961 they wilt have witnessed the transformation even though they will not benefit from it. This dream school will he entirely on the ground floor, eliminating the tedious stairways of the present building. The exterior will be sur- rounded by spacious green lawns and carefully tended flower beds, Replac- ing the old radiators, heat will be provided by a furnace which will use atomic energy. The class-rooms will be brightly painted in gay, light, cheerful colours and the science lab (happy thought) will have chairs that are actually comfortable, Stud- ents will no longer have to carry cold lunches. An ultra-modern cafeteria will supply a wide variety of palat- able foods for a daily cost of fifteen cents per student. One more thing completes the picture. A vast gym- nasium, equipped with a swimming pool and indoor track will provide training facilities for the star athletes whose achievements will place Wing- ham High at the top of the list hi the field of inter-school sports. Well, the picture is tantalizing Is it not? Do I hear some philanthropic citizen offering a donation of, say, a thousand toward the realization of this dream? Back in 1765, when Canadian horses numbered 13,488, or one to every five inhabitants, Governor Vaudreuil be- came alarmed and said there were so many horses that young men were losing the art of walking, TURNBERRY VOTERS Many thanks for your splendid support at the polls on Monday.
