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. 0 - 0 - 0 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.
