Basketball
by George Porter
The Wingham and Goderich Dis-
trict High School basketball teams

Wednesday. It was a wonderful day
for Goderich as they went home with
three more victories under their belt.
In the first game of the afternoon
the senior boys tangled in a rough,
close contest, The Wingham team
threw the ball away time and again,
- giving the Goderich team many un-
deserved opportunities, The final
score of this game was Goderich 32,
Wingham 30.

McMurray.
Goderich: Attridge 6; Cariethers;
Sketton 6; Sanderson 2; Bushel, Laid-
er,. Venn, Gardner 17, McBride.
In the next game the junior' boys
met in what proved to be a relatively
show game. The Wingham team had
L'Ogq".rg-
onto the ball When passing. When the
final horn sounded the score read
Wingham 7; Godalch 1.9,
Wingham: Lancaster 5; Murray .;

Barwick, Lockridge, Campbell.
Goderich: Roekstader 4; Dougherty
2; Sanderson, Maize, Buchanan, Wil-
son 11; Swan, Bowrd, Hicks 2, Lane.
The last game was a rough, scram-
bly affair between the Wingham and
Goderich girls, a.hroughout La,
the lead teetered back and forth be-
tween the two teams, but when it
ended Goderich was ahead, by one
fluid goal. The final score was Wing-
ham 16; Goderich 18.

La Tortue Intelligente
by Audrey Mahood
Four little boys, flying a kite,
Spied a little turtle and began to fight.
"He's mine," cried one, "I'm taking
him home."
"No, you're not!" said little Jerome.
The angry four fought and fought
Until after four o'clock;
FIngir 05793- w re 17/8-0c, their noses
bloody,
Their hands were bruised, their faces
ruddy,
Then stopped, laughed, Said, "Who
will strive
Over such a worthless prize?"
"We'll all play with it awhile."
Thus turned to the turtle with a
smile.
But while the boys had engaged in a
fray
The smart little turtle had skipped
away!
Homework

Five days a week I'm let out at four.
Homeward I rush, throw them through
the door,
Those booltS that remind me I'm just
a fool
Who's spending five years of his life
at school!
Forgotten they lie, for three or four
hours
'Till my mother reminds me, then my
happiness sours.
Then the big problem—what to do
first?
Start with the worst, but which is
the worst?
Oh, now I have it—eeny, meeny, miny,
