Science Club and Science
Fair Activities
By Jim Nasmith,
Recently, the Science Club
has been making itself conspic-
uous by its unusually enthusias-
tic activity,
The club, composed of those
students who are scientifically
inclined, was formed to meet
once a week and discuss pro-
jects, view science films, or
receive extra instruction from
the teachers of the science de-
partment.
This year, however, under
the leadership of the club's
president, Jim Robinson, the
group is undertaking the organ-
ization of a Science Fair to in-
clude all 44 high schools in the
viewing area of CKNX televi-
sion, the sponsor of the event.
For those of you who are in
the dark about a science fair,
may I enlighten you?
A Science Fair is a collect-
ion of scientific projects (usual-
ly the work of students), each
of which attempts to demon -
12A
strate, in a regulation sized
booth, sonic scientific princi-
pal, piece of equipment or re-
search work. Its aim is to in-
spire the creative minds of
young students and give the pub-
lic an opportunity to see and
learn what is going on in science.
The Science Fair will be
held shortly after Easter at the
Wingham District High School.
Judging of exhibits will result
in prize awards to the top en-
tries.
Having already received
over 40 promised projects from
participating schools, the mem-
bers of the Science Club are
certain the event will be a tre-
mendous success.
The project should be a
great asset to the town and the
members hope to continue to
receive support from the com-
munity and surrounding district.
Who knows, maybe they will
uncover another Einstein!

Science Club at Wingham District High School, look on
as Mr. Taylor makes an examination through the
microscope. The Science Club is particularly busy this
year since its members are organizing a Science Fair,
to be held after Easter. The fair is almost certain to be
a success as the club has already received over forty
promised projects.—Yearbook Photo.
Basketball
By John P. Campbell, XIII
Well, readers, we had a very
interesting contest of basketball
at the Wingham District High
School two weeks ago, when
Stratford North Western visited
our gym to try and discourage
our senior team from making
the play-offs. Fortunately for
the Wingham senior team,
Wayne Farrier kept up his ama-
zing spree as he led his team
by scoring 26 points. His tim-
ing and co-ordination were al-
most perfect as he "swished"
basket after basket.
Another member of the team
who contributed to the high
scoring was Carmen McBurney.
He scored 11 points and made
7 out of 8 shots from the foul
line.
The versatile Lynn Finnigan
scored 9 points. With his abili-
ty to control the ball, he kept
the opposition wondering when
they would get the ball.
Incidently, the score was 71
to 41 for Wingham.

Last week Clinton visited
Wingham. This was a very im-
portant game because each
team had only lost one game.

with 11 points, was top scorer
for Wingham. Wayne has now
scored 107 points this year, an
achievement which deserves
congratula tions,
Stan Bismayer and Glen Ma-
dill collected 8 points each for
Wingham. They kept the oppo-
sition on their toes.
Wingham won this close
game 47 to 38. Next week,
Wingham meets Exeter and this
will he the last regular game of
the season.

Activities
As the annual school concert
is' drawing nigh, the various
glee clubs were simultaneously
called from classes last Wednes-
day afternoon, to practise in
the auditorium.
The boys who are taking
part in gymnastics and trampo-
line displays have begun vig-
orous training.
The play which the Drama
Club will perform is again a
comedy, entitled "Be Home By
Midnight"

The yearbook has several
photos that are for sale on dis-
play in the main hall. The pic-
tures were taken of students on
various occasions and may be
purchased by any of the same
for 100, 200 or 300.

On Monday of this week a
short assembly was held at 9:05
for the purpose of inaugurating
the new Canadian flag.
Mr. Madill read from the
Bible and then everyone repeat•
ed the Lord's prayer. As Mr.
Madill read a charge to the
students to respect the flag,
Mary Lou Jamieson and Jim Na -
smith unrolled it and displayed
it to the students. The assembly
closed with the singing of "0
Canada".
At 12 noon the new flag was
raised at the front entrance of
the school.

ham and Goderich.

consolations 1:30 p.m.; finals
3:00 p.m.
The winning team will re-
ceive the Perth -Huron trophy
and pennant. Wingham District
High School wrestlers are the
defending champions.
Everyone is invited to come
and support our team and ad-
mission is only 25¢.
Criminal
Negligence
Accidental discharge of guns
in the home amounts to crimin-
al negligence. The hunter who
does not make certain his gun
is unloaded before carrying it
into his home is committing an
irresponsible act and asking for
tragedy.
Some years there are more
lives taken by firearms in the
home than in the field. Guns
and ammunition should be stor-
ed separately under lock and
key. This is especially import-
ant when there are children in
the house,

Students Express Opinions
On Cafeteria Meals
By Joyce Procter and
Mary Lou Jamieson
It seems as if there has been
considerable complaint con-
cerning the noon meal at W.D.
H.S. Why? Is it the price, or
is W : D. H. S. just chuck full of
picky eaters? Where else can
one buy a two -course hot meal
LARRY BROOKS and Ross Wightman practise up for the
big Perth -Huron wrestling tournament here on Saturday.
The boys are in the lightweight classes.—Y'rbook Photo.
for just 300—with all the bread
and catsup one can eat besides?
Just count up the pennies it
takes to pay for your own lunch -
four slices of bread (at least)
5¢; meat, cheese, eggs, etc. ,
5¢ for filling; cookies, cake,
etc., 5¢; orange, banana 5¢;
milk 6¢ and then the 5¢ to 25¢
extra spent on ice cream or
candy bars which one might
purchase afterwards.
Now, this all adds up to a
neat sum of 30¢ or more. And
which gives you more nutrition
and more energy, dry sand-
wiches or a piping hot meal of
meat, potatoes, vegetables,
and fruit or pastry for desert?
Then, think about the
weight -watchers. You cheat
yourselves out of the essential
food in the noon meal, then go
home and fill up on less -nutri-
tious food than the hot meal
which would have satisfied
your hunger.
A great deal of money was
spent on the high school kitchen
and a great deal of work goes
into preparation of meals. Why
not take advantage of this lux-
ury?

EDITOR'S COMMENT
• Recently there has been im-
provement made in the school
meals. There is usually a
choice of dinner plates, includ-
ing a salad plate option. Stu-
dents who wish may also pur-
chase a variety of juices.
Since these improvements
the length of the lunch lines
has increased, as was hopefully
planned by those who initiated
the changes in the noon meal.
