School Daze This year, an' "old fashioned" winter has, hit the , town of Wingham, bringing with it joys, disillusions and many disappoint- ments. • Disappointment is: -. The greater part of, the winter carnival cancelled because of too much snow.. - Waking' up ;n the morning to snow and howling winds 'only to find that every school in the area is closed except. F.E. Madill S.S. - Shivering in one frigid classroom, and looking forward to the 'next "warm" class, only to find you can see your breath in there too. - Leaving the car in the parking lot in the morning and at night finding it has' disappeared; then realizing that that great mound of white is the vicinity, where you left it. - When CKNX. predicts a fine. spring day and it turns out to be 'a blizzard. Being stormed stayed for three whole -days-without'your books, arid coming to find you're having .a test that day. . - A snow storm. on Friday night and not being able to •get out , until Monday. •- The view' from. Mr. Morrison's English room - snow all the way up the windows. -'Riding on a late bus and hoping .that you'll miss the math test first period, only to find that you arrived ten minutes late ...and you still have to write the test. - Hearing that all the' other busses are leaving early because of the blizzard, and yours doesn't 'come until the regular time.

Results are what you expect—. consequences are what you get.' "Los, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each -set with sixty diamond minutes: No reward is offered for they' are gone forever." We each use and measure time' so differently ;it is almost beyond comparison and to students it seems to take on a whole new definition. nine is 9:00 - 4:00 p.m. and is, Monday ,to. Friday; time is September to JUne and is first grade to graduation. We, 'as students, use 'a very unique scale to ' measure. it. Time is not here for perspiration, Work or the making of memories -- no, for us it is the mere passing between happy moments. How can we be so negligent with such a precious gift? Well you see, we think one can kill time without injuring eternity. • We are living with the detrimental theory that today holds little and Means nothing (except perhaps the com- pletion of another assignment). • 0, Any F.E. Madill student will,„ readily agree that there 'are certain. days when you.vvish for nothing but next week -- 2,000 word English Essay due tomorrow, should' start soon-, Geography project coming up, impossible math questions, oh No, another late slip, three boom Co have read before exams, snow up to your hipS., and you w;tn a running nose and no kleet,e),!! Just, one of 'those' days! • But we should be greedily swallowing up every moment' of every day - because twenty-four hours can contain 'so much oppor- tunity, and satisfaction and bliss. Don't wait, for extraordinary cir- cumstances. • to realize,' times' bounty, try, to use ordinary ones; You'll find theY are just as rewarding and far more frequent. We are young first of all and next we are impulsive • (touching on incPmpetency) and whimsical. No excuses' -- be. cautious too 'cause lost time can never be fonnd. Joan Leishman, Editor. • The Hospital Issue Who Cares? The closing of area hospitals is, a major issue right now - one which affects every one of us.•last week I thought "Well, that'S progress, I guess -- there's nothing I can do." Hospitals weren't really an integral part-of my life. • Then this week, I suddenly found that I faced a series of tests at the hospital' and at once the hospital. •becaine a :very important place. I was scared. When I' entered the front doors - I felt my legs shaking under me. Then, at the reception desk, I was greeted with a great big smile. This helped a lot, but what really gave me a little bit of courage was the fact that the receptiOnist didn't have to ask me who my dad was or where I lived: She already knew. went on to the emergency departinent and _there the mirses recognized me -- these were people who had looked after the rest of my family. They soon had Me laughing and relaxed. 1 felt as if I was 'among friends. The whole day . a day I . had dreaded -- turned out to be a pretty good experience. You soon forget pain and diScoMfort when you are A' surrounded by :familiar friendly:. faces. There was a warmth' that is hard to describe the warmth people, who care for people, ' helping people: This Made me stop and think how 1 would feel if -44iiddenly. , had to go to a hospital in a major centre, althongh I'm sure the nurses and .doctors would be as friendly, it just' wouldn't be the same as being cared for by people I • knoW. I think that most people, realize this. Now that khave discovered it, I no longer feel that closing local hospitals is progress. I feel that if the government truly Wishes to prune budgets, there must be ways to do it which will. hurt the public in general , to a lesser ,degree. So here I am -'- one pei.son. But I know there are a lot of people who feel as 1 dot So what can we do about it? I have no idea -- but. I know thiS: It's all .up tO us. What, happens or doesn't happen, re- flects on us, as, people. How strongly do YOU feel about it? Bulky wool& acrylic White heel & toe Pre-priced at 1.50 NOW ONLY C STATIONERy .
