END OF AN ERA
What has been described as
"the most promising Grade Thir-
teen in the history of Wingham
District High School" had their
final day of regular classes at
the high school last Friday.They
capped the day with a trium-
phant processional through the
school's corridors proclaiming
"Extra! Extra. Read all about it.
We're getting out and we're
going to shout it." (Traditions
are traditions, after all.) This
week they are busy studying at
home for the Final Examina-
tions which start next Monday.

LOCAL BOY MAKES GOOD
Congratulations to Glen Ma
dill, a Grade Eleven student at
W. D. ti. S. , for his third place
finish in the Tournament of
Champions at the Islington
golf course last Friday. There
will probably be more about
this elsewhere in the paper.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS
TO COME
Since this will be the last
high school column of the year
(your reporter is also at home
studying for the Final Exams),
we have decided to loox into
the future and suggest events
that will probably come to pass
next year.
Late in August this summer,
students realizing the impor-
tance of an education, will ar-
rive at the high school a weer'
or two early so that they can
get off to a fast start. They
will be met at the door by Mr.
Madill who will tell them to
Compare Problems
Of Modern and
Pioneer Families
GORPIE-Mrs. Allan Hynd-
rnan presided for the worship
service of the United Church
Women held in the Sunday
School room on Wednesday eve-
ning. Mrs. A. L. Stephens gave
the meditation, "Our Family".
The influence of a good home
r, the result of someone's faith,
G}1e. sa,d.
Miss Joyce Hamilton gave a
piano instrumental, "Rondo".
A discussion panel was led by
Nits. Stephens with the family
problems of the pioneers voiced
by Mrs. Ken Elastic and Mrs.
Milton Luther. Mrs. Russell
Powell and Mrs. Clifford Pyke
told of modern Christian family
problems in a fast changing
world.
The president, Mrs. Glad
Edgar, conducted the business.
It was decided to send $100,00
to Westminister College and an
overseas bale will he packed
June 2. Plans were finalized
for the garden party on June I7.
Lunch was served by the
committee Mrs. R. Powell,Mrs,
R. Adams, Mrs. W. Thornton.
HIGHLIGHTS
go honk,. -Why don't you go
oat and get a frill -time Joh..?"
he w Al suggest. "The SChoal
is 0%, reruwded anyway."
During the course of the year
the football team will finish
last, the basketball teams will
all fin.sh first, and .i pencil -
sharpening team from Grade
Ten will capture the W. 0 S
.. championship.
Early in November students
will begin to use the splendid
library facilities m an entirely
unprecedented manner and
thousands of books will be ta-
ken Out and returned. Late in
November a secret underground
passage from the library to the
pool hall down town will he
discovered and sealed off.
On the grim side, weekly
mortality rates for the corridor
traffic will average around
four and a half students and a
quarter of a teacher. Only
two Grade Thirteen students
will become permanently de-
mented and this will he con-
sidered a rather good record for
a school of our size.
Early in the year the school
will replace the Red Ensign
with the new flag. Loud pro-
tests will immediately be heard
and the Board will finally settle
on flying the Red Ensign on
Mondays and Wednesdays, the
Foliage Flag on Tuesdays and
Thursdays and the skull -and -
cross hones on Fridays. No one
will be satisfied by this com-
promise and on September 25,
a pitched battle will be fought
in the circular driveway. The
combatants will be the Royal
Canadian Legion, the Botani-
cal Society of Canada, and the
pirates. During the conflict
the pirates will chop down the
flagpole and solve the problem.
All in all, it looks like the
:dud of year nobody would miss
for the world.

SCIENCE CLUB
Late For Last Week
During the past week, sever-
al members of the Science Clul:
were experimenting with a
chemical garden. Various
large crystals of metallic salts,
e.g. bluestone or copper sul-
phate (known as CuSQ4.5H2Otc
the chemistry students.) and
cobalt chloride, were dropped
in a dilute solution of sodium
silicate (otherwise known as
water glass). Soon a bubble
formed above the crystal and a
long thin shoot rose to the top
of the liquid and spread out in
a flower and leaf pattern. Some
crystals grew as much as two to
three inches in fifteen seconds
while others required a day to
grow an inch. The flowers
were in various colours, each
type of crystal having its own
characteristic colour. These
realistic plants grown from or-
dinary crystals is another ex-
ample of the amazing things
that science can do.

At the Science Club meet-
ing last week two films made
by Bell Telephone were shown.
These were on the subjects of
the transistor, a modern re-
placement for tubes, and the
solar battery, which converts
energy from the sun into elec-
tricity. Incidentally, it was
rumoured that an age-old
dream of some members was
realized - the Science Club
meeting was co-educational.

National Water Safety Week
in Canada is from june the 7th
to June the 13th and reminds us

sense laws and regulations of
boating and water skiing, With
knowledge comes the ability
to enjoy water sports safely and
with assurance.
Make National Water Safety
Week in Canada a reality that
will continue all through the
summer season; learn to swim
and acquire sufficient know-
ledge of your favourite water
sports to he efficient in them.
It will pay off in safety and
pleasure,
