The girls' basketball teams
went to Stratford, Monday the
22 to play games which had
been previously scheduled. The
junior score: Stratford 23, Wing -
ham 18; senior score: Wingham
32, Stratford 7.
I might point out that the
senior Stratford team gained its
seven points by other means
than sinking baskets.

Thursday's and Friday's
timetables were switched last
week for the following reason:
Physical Education teachers
from Owen Sound were to be at
the school Friday to observe
girls' gymnastics, particularly
the "new approach" to gymnas-
tics which is free movement,
and as the girls' classes regu-
larly have phys. ed. Thursday
and health Friday the days'
classes had to be switched. How-
ever, as there was no school on
Friday, they obviously didn't
come.
There will be other P. E.
teachers coming and teachers
from Kincardine and Port Elgin
were scheduled to be at the
school this past Tuesday.

I imagine that everyone
knows that the Easter exam
timetable has been posted for
two weeks. Exams start two
weeks from tomorrow, that is
March 19, and go to March 26,
so it might be wise to spend a
little more time "at the books".

Last Saturday the boys'
basketball teams went to Strat-
ford for W. O. S. S. A. compe-

School Inspector
Addresses Club
The Couple's Club of St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church
met in the education building •
on Tuesday evening of last week
with over 50 in attendance. The
call to worship was given by
Mrs. Nelson Pickell and a per-
iod of singing followed. The
worship service was conducted
by Mrs. James Carr.
Roll call and minutes were
read by the secretaries, Mr.and
Mrs. Jerry Smith and offertory
prayer was given by Mr, John
Donaldson. Two musical selec-
tions by Mrs. Margaret Casemore
and Mrs. Betty Feagan were en-
joyed.
The guest speaker, Mr. Wal -
die, school inspector for Bruce,
was introduced by Mrs. Pickell.
Mr. Waldie lived in Wingham
for a year and a half and at-
tended public school here when
Mr. Posliff was principal.
Ile spoke on the new mathe-
matics program for schools. Mr.
Waldie stated that children must
be educated for the future, there-
fore we must advance with the
times. More new facts have
been discovered in the last ten
years than in the prior 100 -
year period. The teaching of
mathematics has remained basi-
cally the same for about 40
years. What has been taught
equipped a person for that time,
but the vast discoveries in re-
cent years call for a change.
With the use of a blackboard
Mr. Waldie showed the princi-
ples of operation in mathemat-
ics now as compared with the
new approach. Ile proved that
one and one don't always make
two.
The speaker was thanked by
Nelson Pickell, who added a
few humorous remarks about
school inspectors of his time at
school. A hymn was sung and
Rev. G. L. Fish pronounced the
benediction.
A social time followed, when
lunch was served by Mr. and
Mrs. James Carr and Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Pickell.
Farther: "Down on the farm, we
go to bed with the chickens."
City Slicker "Well, in town,
we'd rather sleep in our own
beds."

that the Wingham senior basket-
ball team was defeated 56-42
last Saturday in the opening
game of the play-offs. It was
one of those days for the team
in which nothing went right.
Four teams made the play-
offs. During the regular season,
Wingham, St. Marys and God-
erich were tied for first place
because each team had lost one
game. Clinton was the other
team who made the last play-
off berth. While St. Marys and
Wingham fought it out, Goder-
ich and Clinton challenged one
another. Then the winner of
each game advanced to the fi-
nals to decide a winner. Unfor-
tunately, Wingham did not get
this far.
Our high -flying centre,
Wayne Farrier with 11 points,
was top scorer for the team.
Wayne was not able to find the
basket until the last quarter
when he finally illustrated his
great scoring ability to the op-
position.
But the spark plug of the
team was Lynn Finnigan who
tallied 9 points. His close check-
ing
hecking and amazing performance
was the main reason why the
team could keep pace with St.
Marys.
Our loyal cheerleaders

tried desperately to raise the
spirits of the team but the oppo-
sition proved to be a little
stronger than our team. Of
course they were taller, too,
but still, St. Marys had a well
balanced team,

A library clerk commented
on a woman just leaving her
desk: "That woman gets more
out of a mystery novel than any-
one I know."
"How come?" asked a co-
worker.
"Well, she starts the story in
the middle, so she not only
wonders how it came out, but
how it began."
