Oic0 Att 5f6D,Ae Merry Christmas Folks xf oa "fat., W1NGHAM DV CE I Don't be surprised if you hear some of the students of W.D.H.S. quoting Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. It's all :because they went to Walkerton last Saturday night and saw the play 'there, How did "Caesar" happen to be in Walkerton? Well, let's see. All sum- mer a group of actors called the Earle Grey Players present Shakespearan plays at an outdoor theatre in Tor- onto, In the fall they put them on at various schools throughout the pro- vince at reduced prices. About thirty-five of us went on the bus and several others went by car. As the bus went along from Wingham through Teeswater, and on, singing and laughter rang out from it. In what seemed like no time at all we were there, Being early, we went on a tour of the school. Everything was wonderful. The thing most of us liked best was the row of private lockers along one side of the hall, No crowded cloakrooms there! Then we entered the auditorium. We found good seats and looked around. Everything there met with our ap- proval. The lights went out and the play began to unfold. The acting was sup- erb, the costumes very realistic and the scenery was Shakespearn. One minute a set of grass covered steps was a couch in a tent, the next a hill, and then a rock. This type of scenery makes the play more interesting. After the performance we trooped out to the bus to find beside it, buses which had come from other schools. We got settled, the driver counted the noses and we were on our way home. Helen Meehan 0 - 0 - 0 October Happenings In Grade Nine Now that October has arrived, we consider school a routine task. By now the teachers have become ac- quainted with our fiendish ideas, and gently reproach us when needed, much to our dismay. Various activities such as rugby games, the selling of magazines, and. the first literary meet-. ing of the school terra \vete all new to first form students. Many of us attended the football games in the local park, and the literary meeting in the town hall, enjoying both to the ;utmost. Although we attempted to sell i magazines for only two weeks it gave lus the knowledge of how tough the I life of a salesman is; however, some met with good success. The fall term examinations are ap- proaching rapidly, although we de- 1 test thinking of them. The teachers (apparently don't mind them a great seal. These examinations will expose those who have not laboured hard and 1place them in bad favour with the I teachers. The attendance has been re- !corded as much better than in Sept- ember when the district fairs interest- ed the students more than the school work. My opinion afer two months of the school term is that unless you work hard you will not succeed in reaching second form. Gordon Smith 0 - 0 - 0 Rugby Game October 29th., the last game of the 'N S S A schedule was played in Seaforth today, and it turned into/ a 34.6 count for the Seaforth team, Sporting new uniforms, the powerful Seaforth squad re-turned the opening kick-off for an unconverted touch- down, From there they never relented and the game from a Wingham view- point was hopeless. In the second half with the score 29-1 both teams began to experiment with players that us.' ually warm the bench, On the last play of the game, Bud Lott, one of the bright spots in Wingham's black day, skirted the end for Wingham's only touchdown. Lott earlier kicked a single on a field goal attempt. Seaforth played like the champions they are, with Jacobi leading them to the majority of their points through fine quarterbacking, Ken Grewar, Wingham half back, had a field day when moved to the line. Jim Lock- ridge, centre of the W.D.H.S. line, tried his hand at punt returns and did very well. Thanks to a Gdderich win over Clinton, our Wingham lads were left all alone in second place. It in all was a successful season for Wingham with a record of three wins and three losses. Robert Gammage 0 - 0 - 0 Commencement The 1952 commencement of Wing- ham District High School will be held this Friday, November 7th., in the Wingham town hall. This year's guest speaker will be Dr. McLaughlin, presi- dent of the Ontario Agricultural College, in Guelph. The valedictory address will be giv- en by Barbara Gaunt of Western University. Barbara, who won many scholarships and bursaries in W.D.H. S. is now studying French, and Eng- lish as her major subjects at college. Another highlight of the commence- merit will he a presentation of various scholarships and athletic awards. In the last few years, John Hanna and Ray Lott were among those who won awards for being outstanding ath- letes. In addition to all this, a short mus- ical programme will be enjoyed: The Glee Club, under the leadership of Mrs. McDougal, will be-in attendance to render a few numbers. " Catherine Keating RECENT & READABLE Every once in a while a novel ap. pears that contains a message of hope for the future in these troubled times. This week's book review is about just such a book and one man's fight for humanity. WINDOM'S WAY by James Ramsey Ullman In Windom's way Mr. Ullman rea- ches a new peak as a story-teller, with a tight and beautifully plotted novel that combs to a powerful and inevit- able climax. He has created a remark- able, heroic figure in the person of Dr. Windom, and he has dealt sear- chingly with the problems that pos. secs us all today. James Ramsey Ullman's first two novels, The White Tower and River of the Sun, dealt in different ways with the theme of man against nat- ure—the first on an icy mountain peak, the second in the steaming jungles of the Amazon basin. Win- dam's Way treats a different theme, that of man's struggle with himself and with the war of ideas being wag. ed so bitterly today. It is the story of an American doctor serving in a remote and tropical part of Southern Asia. Without any specific intention on his part he is caught up in the revolutionary tensions of the time and region, and finds himself the react- ionary national government and a white planter on one side, and com- munist attacks on the other. In addition to the dominant person- ality of Dr. Windom, the story invol- ves the lovely native girl, Anna Vidal, head nurse in Dr. Windom's hospital, her young and violent brother, Jan; Dr. Windorn's wife, Lee—rich, un- stable and unhappy; Carl HashbroalE of the U.S. army, whose approach to native prqblems is typical of his train- ing; and Carl Schusterman, the brut- all superinendent of the local planta- tion. Windom's Way is a mature novel, exciting in story content and percep.. tive in terms of human drama, a book that has the awareness and literary skill that Mr. Ullman's many admir- ers have learned to expect, MOVEMENT OF HARVESTERS TO THE WEST ADEQUATE Hon.aMilton F. Gregg, Minister of Labotul; has announced that the or- ganized movement of harvest workers from Ontario and Quebec to the Prair- ie provinces had been completed.

For most of us the performance was thoroughly enjoyable. The play was staged in the Shakes- perian manner with a very simple stage set and only one change of scene. It proceeded without any pause at the end of scenes or acts until the end of the third act. At this point here was a short intermission during 'which the setting was changed. To cut the play down to the usual 21e hour length two short scenes were omitted. The last scene in Act III in which the mob threatens to kill Cinna the poet, and the one immediately following in which the triumverate prepare their proscription list were cut from the Earle Gray performance. As this did not interefere with the plot the aud- ience was not conscious of any lack I of continuity in the story. The roll of Brutus, played by Doug- i las Ney, was effectively done. James Annand as Casca relieved the drama- tic tension with a few humorous touches, Opinion is divided about Cal- i purnia and Portia. The boys fell in I 'love with Calpurnia's blonde beauty: the girls stubbornly for maybe jeal- ously) defended Portia. This proves that both managed to excite a great deal of interest. The other players should not be slighted, for they all deserve a fair share of the credit giv- en for a fine performance. 0 - 0 - 0 Trip to Walkerton BACKACHE May beWarninq Backache is often caused by lazy kidney action.
