SPORTS
By Hugh Sinnamon
This is again a general picture of
the sports in which the students of
W.D,H.S, have engaged up until now.
With the approach of exams and the
Coronation week-end, the competition
has been keen and every team has
tried to win top honours as a stimu-
lant for the trying days ahead.
According to the schedule before me,
in the junior softball competitions, 9C
has won three games and lost one, at
the same time inflicting a humiliat-
ing defeat of 14-6 on 10A & B. High-
er up, 10C has won four games, lost
none, and boasts a score of 10-0 over
9B. 9C has yet to play 100 for the
junior championship. These games
have been refereed by boys from
grades 21 and 12.
In senior softball, 12A and B com-
bined to defeat 1,1A and B. 12A and B
will now contest the senior champion-
ship with grade 13.
So now I arrive at the volleyball
games. It appears that 10C so far has
won both games in competition with
1.0.A. and B and 9A. The final games
to decide the championship have not
been played but are scheduled for
some time this week. The illustrious
Roger West refereed.

AROUND SCHOOL
On Friday night, May 22nd, Wing-
ham District High School staged an-
other Open Night. I guess it's no
secret that the old institution really
gets quite a face lifting before such
an important event. However, this
year we didn't quite go to the trouble
of putting in a gymnasium and new
cloak rooms. For two or three days
before Open Night, gum-chewers and
other criminals found themselves
polishing brass, washing blackboards,
furniture creaming the pianos and
banging pictures.
One thing that seemed to bother
the nerves of the public was the
banging of the side door. When they
asked if it did that all the time they
received a reply of "only sixty times
a minute."
It is always interesting to school-
interested people, especially parents,
to see the students at work. The
shop, Home Economics room, Com-
mercial room, and walkie-talkie ma-
chines, or something, were busy all
evening.
One of the, great attractions of the
school was the Recreation - Soup
Bar - Classroom - Assembly Hall
where Mr, Higenell was showing
movies that topped many Hollywood
comics, and where Mrs. Williams pre--
sented a girls' gymnastic demonstra-
tion and a sailor dance.
Just as London is mapped into a
special route for the Coronation pro-
ceSSion, so W,D.H.S. had a specified
route for the sight-seers, After tour-
ing the old building, part of the
chicken-poop, and seeing the pro-
gramme in the recreation room,
everyone was pleased to enter the
home economics room, Under pre-
tence. of viewing the lovely displays,
everyone managed to get themselves
served with delicious home-made
cookies, a real treat to finish the in-
teresting tour of Wingham District
Eiigh School.
