practicetwice a week underthe

ANNUAL TRIP TO
FESTIVAL THEATRE
By Jim Nasmith, Grade 13
The trumpets blared; the
house lights dimmed to seconds
of darkness.' and then the ugly
old Soothsayer appeared with
his warning to Caesar, "Beware
the Ides of March!".
This was the opening scene
of Shakespeare's "Julius CaesaP'
as was seen by the students of
W. D. H. S., last Thursday af-
ternoon in Stratford,
At 11;30 a.m. 150 sets of
knees and elbows hopped aboard
three buses and left the high
school, bound for Stratford.
Many students brought lunches
and ate them' en route since the
trip spread over the noon -hour.
Despite the crowded conditions,
most of the students were in
high spirits and enjoyed the
element of togetherness that
the trip induced.
On arrival, most of the few
minutes before the performance
were spent by the students
seeking out the natural beauty.
There were also many, varied
forms of modern, abstract art
and sculpture around, which
was subjected to unusually close
scrutiny by the students who
made efforts to interpret the
artistic works.
M for the performance it-
self, most of the students enjoy
ed it immensely, especially
'those who had studied the play,
Julius Caesar before. The or-
chestra seats were excellent for
seeing the play; nobody missed
a word. it was a great surprise
to see the dry old words of the
text book take to colourful life
on the stage,
After the play and a short
chat with the actor Bruno Ger
ussi, the students were on their
way home again, pleasantly
tired and quite intoxicated with
the culture and literary know-
ledge that the play had intro-
duced to them.
RUNNERS GET 1N SHAPE
By Brian Caslick
Cross country running, which
is long distance running done
off the track, got off to a
speedy start on the second day
of school.
Under the coaching of Mr.
D. Stuckey, a teacher at Wing -
!ham District High School, and
Jack Galbraith, one of the
school's best runners, boys of
all grades began to run. As they
get into shape they increase
their speed and distance.
Mr. Stuckey has decided to
give incentive crests which are
in the shape of a man's legs.
These variously coloured crests
will be given throughout the
year to each boy as he reaches
the next step of his training.
The crests are given on the
,basics of miles run. A white
crest is given at 25 miles and
so on up to the 1,000 anile
mark.
Mr, Stuckey hopes to have
a strong team and make a good
showing in the Huron Perth and
W. O. S. S. A. meets this fall.
CHEERLEADERS
By Wendy Cronkwright
As the football season ap-
proaches, you can hear from
the gymnasium the sound of
girls trying out for cheerleaders.
This year, the same as last,
there will be a junior squad in
purple plaid skirts and white
sweaters. Each squad consists
of six girls who have success-
fully learned all the cheers and
hope to boost the school spirit
at games.
We hope that the cheer-
leaders and the student body
can again this year cheer our
teams to many victories.
