TO 1 A.M. ADMISSION: SINGLE 75c COUPLE $1.25 Refreshments will be served Last Thursday, Listowel de- feated them 12-7 and put Wing - ham out of the running for the play-offs. This is the first time in eight years that the Mustangs have missed the play- offs. The Mustangs must have had their horseshoes on for the first half, because Listowel dropped a touchdown pass and another was called back because of a penalty. Halfway through the second quarter, Max Pletch jumped on a loose ball in the Listowel end zone to score the first Wing - ham T. D. of the year, Murray Procter made the convert. Listowel returned in the sec- ond half to score two uncon- verted T. D. 's to give them 12 points. Despite desperate at- tempts by Murray Procter, Glen Madill and Jim Taylor all tak- ing a try at quarter back, the Mustangs lost their third game in a row. This Friday, they play Strat- ford and have high hopes (we hope) of getting their first vic- tory. --John Watson 0--0--0 The Senior Girls Volleyball team played their first match, an exhibition match on Monday.

He showed the usual professional perceptive qualities in noticing my sudden reaction, and said in a tone that was almost om- inous, " That one will have to come out," After receiving a few preliminary stabs with an unusually large needle, I was overcome by the feeling that part of my upper lip was miss- ing. This did anything but cheer me up. Suddenly, he was wielding a small pair of pliers, and it was not long be- fore the job was done, There he stood, triumphant, holding before him my tooth, firmly clamped between the jaws of the pliers. This, to me, was far from hilarious. As he asked me how I felt, he seemed quite pleased with himself, an atti- tude which I found to be more than justifiable when he an- nounced the charge. "This was the most unkindest cut of all. Activities Student Council held their first meeting last week. There was a good turn out of the form representatives which are the "go-betweens" between the student Council Executive and the student body. The class representatives are expected to report the business discussed at the meetings (to their class- mates). Jim Nasmith, the president, outlined some of the plans and customs of the council for the coming year. The main topic was the hiring of a band for Commencement on November 13. Darryl Gibson, the social convener, was to write to sev- eral bands and hire one for the occasion, I think we have an excel- lent council and I am sure they will work together for the bene- fit of the student body.

Although not many students turned out for the pro- gram in person, it was much en- joyed by the student body on the whole.

The boys wore shirts and ties for this occasion which certainly make the male stu- dents look very "sharp", I don't mean they should be forc- ed to wear this outfit everyday but it does look impressive once in a while. 0--0--0 If any of my readers have any suggestions for my column or any criticism of it, would they please let me know. I would welcome any remarks and try to carry out the sug- gestions. A wag has said that one of the main advantages of seat belts is that they keep drivers from leaving the scene of an accident. This is a flippant approach, but the Ontario Safe- ty League says that it does emphasize the fact that the last thing anyone wants to do in a collision is to leave the scene by way of a door flying open, or through the windshield. Listowel Will Open New Arena Chairman L. Ed. Gillin of the Listowel Memorial Arena Commission of the Parks, Arena Recreation and Community Centre Committee has announc- ed that a couple of top-flight senior hockey teams would take part in the official opening program of the new arena.

A. assisted in arranging the contest and as a gesture of goodwill "toward Listowel and its renovated arena" the Ontar- io body is supplying officials for the game, free of charge.
