Work on the new gymnasium was com- pleted. One by one, the con- struction men put away their tools and walked sadly out of a place that had grown dear to them during the long hours, days, weeks, month:;, and years they had spent working there. The students were happily surprised to find that they would finally be able to usr the new gym. Their amazement was shared by the teachers, some of the oldest of whom can even remember when the work was started. Your correspondent overheard one elderly English instructor muttering to himself, "Faith, and I didn't never think I'd live for to see this day!" In his simple but erudite way he summed up the feeling of the whole school. 0--0--0 BASKETBALL The glorious saga of the Senior Boys' basketball team came to an abrupt halt in the semi-finals of the Perth -Huron Championship at Stratford last Saturday. They lost 61-51 to Stratford Central which later won the championship, defeat- ing Clinton 45-41 in the final. Clinton had earlier defeated Listowel in the other semi-final game. In the same tournament, Goderich captured the Junior ,trophy, with an over -time de- cision over Stratford Central Juniors, and another close vic- tory when they inet Listowel in the finals. Games were played in both Stratford Central and Stratford Northwestern high schools. The Wingham Seniors play- ed a fairly good game, except for a disasterous second quarter. They trailed 36-16 at half time. In the last half they staged a comeback but it was too little and too late. Wayne Farrier led Wingham with 27 points. Paul Jardin had ten. Incidentally, Wingham had the support of five W.D.H.S. cheerleaders, some of whom shamelessly began to support Goderich, of all places, as soon as Wingham was eliminat- ed. It was a sad day all around. 0--0--0 • BOOK LATER, PAY NOW Orders for this year's Year Book were taken this week and last. The price was set at a dollar seventy-five for a soft- cover book.
