The evening began with a performance by the more "elite" members of the Lucknow Band giving their rendition of many old favour - ites. This was followed 'by "Madill's own get -up -and - go -gals" , et -up -and -go -gals", the cheerleaders, who gave an excellent per- formance of some of their latest cheers. Then it was time for the grade nines to "get into action" with some "charm- ing" games, various mem- bers of the athletic council "dreamed up". One of these games was passing a "life- saver" on a toothpick held in your mouth and somehow manipulate yourself in a way that eventually gets the life- Madill Mirror Go purple & white BY ALISON ROBERTS "Let's go -purple and white -purple and white -go - let's go!" The familiar cry of the cheerleaders is heard once more as school year 1978-79 begins. To some the surroundings are familiar and perhaps boring; to oth- ers there is the fresh excite- ment of high school. Now at the beginning . of the . school year spirits and emotions are "high". Most of us are in the un ;for grade process of renewing old friendships and beginning new ones. It is my hope as co-editor of this years' "School Page" that these spirits and emo- tions of the students at "good'ole' F. E. Madill" can be transferred on to paper to, provide an interesting and enjoyable page: I extend my sincere best wishes to all staff and students at Madill for an enjoyable and reward- ing year; so now: "let's go!" Another school year BY BRIAN ARNOLD • Well, 78-79 is here. Like the businessman,_ whose life revolves around a fiscal year, the student begins another year centred around the classroom. Walking into the school for my 5th year, I experienced __ the same exhilarating feeling as when I entered the school for my first year of high school. The first few days of NEW M.L.A.'S There's nothing political about the function of these students at the F. E. Madill Secondary School here in Wingham but there is a lot about them that is helpful. The Library Club members are now referred to as Madill Library Assistants or M.L. A's, as the white badges they wear state. They are familiar with Library routines and the Library collection. Staff and students are encouraged to use the know- ledge of these helpful young people whenever they are in the Library. PARENT -TEACHER INTERVIEWS $'P ALISON ROBERTS Which night do students dread more than any • other? Which night do they tell their mothers how lovely they look, and their fathers how much they like Dad's tie? Answer: Parent-Teacher In- terviews. Yes, 1Vfonday, Oct- ober 23rd,1978 was the night school are fantastic. One's enthusiasm is boundless. Too bad it doesn't last. Within the first two weeks interest wanes and dies. The only way you can regain that interest for school is to become active in the school. Join clubs and participate in sports. Soon, you'll find that you will look forward to school and miss school when you're away from it. your parents were invited to visit the school and meet your teachers. Rather than making timed interviews as in the past, the meetings proceeded at a more leisurely pace. The success of the evening is indicated by the fact that 455 interviews were conducted with 102 parents by the teachers. We hope the evening proved beneficial for all those who attended, and we thank everyone who assisted iin'the success of the evening. tl GIRLS BASKETBALL The Junior Girls' basket- ball team were defeated by Listowel 30 -17. Listowel had many lucky shots -while ours wouldn't go M.

After a delicious meal pre- pared by the cafeteria staff, the students resumed their activities by watching a drama production. It was presented as an incredible variety show which included: a monologue; a skit; a "Hoax" and several musical numbers. This proved to be an excellent way of showing the grade nines some of the well hidden talent in the realms of "F.E.". ', Madill • The "grande finale" for the evening was a dance to many of the latest records. Many songs from "Gtea4e" and "Saturday Night Fever" were played and most .of the students "danced all night". Finally I would like to note that all who went really enjoyed them -selves and would like to thank all those who helped in any way. A special thanks should go to Cathy Walters and Margaret Maclntyre who were the organizers of this great suc- cess.' cross-country BOYS' CROSS COUNTRY On September 27 the Cross Country team travelled to Stratford to compete in a twenty-five team meet. 145 Midget Boys ran with Tom Foulon finishing first for Wingham and fifth oyerall.
