The top salesmen for each day are Paul Gardner, Herman Rigling, Murray Mac- Donald, Dianne Chamney, Paul' Guest, Bill Kerr and Herman Rigling. Each of the above will re- ceive $5.00 for being top sales- man on a particular day. The other winners for the grades, classes and the school have not been figured out yet. The Students' Council would like to thank all students for giving your support by selling these chocolate bars, and also thank everyone that bought from the students to help fin- ance activities. 1V, IL HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 MR. MILOSEVIC BY DONNA MUNDELL 11A L This distinguished looking gentleman is. Mr. Milosevic, who is in charge of room 100. He was born in Yugoslavia where he obtained a secondary school education comparable to Grade 13 of Ontario. He be- gan a university course in me- chanical engineering but at the end of two years, his education was interrupted. At this time in his young life, Mr. Milose- vie was a prisoner in a P.O.W. camp in Germany for four and a half years. In 1950 Mr. Milosevic im- migrated to Wallacehurg, On- tario, Here he was employed in engineering at Schultz Die Casting Company. In 1954 he graduated from Ryerson and proceeded as a machine de- signer in Sarnia Prestolite Ltd. l le apparently did not have the I WHIM.. 1.11410110.140444.0•0 •••••111.1111 ...... SALLY .

Since he has come, thehigh school has him hard at work teaching mechanical drafting to grades nine, ten, eleven, twelve. (This is the first year for mechanical drafting at our school.) Since this gentleman is qualified in mechanical and electronics technology he is quite capable of his duties. He decided he would like to teach because night classes, which he had previously in- structed, were quite successful and because he enjoys working with young people. Personally, I think Mr. Milosevic is one step ahead of the students. He says, "I look forward to coming back to the classroom after long hours of work." However, between the hours in the class- room and the hours spent mark- ing exams he enjoys stamp col- lecting and electronics. Mr. Milosevic feels that to- day's educational system defin- itely could be and should he improved, l le thinks the school and students should have more communication with in- dustry so that students would know what is going on outside and would be able to meet the challenge of industry after graduation. Mr. Milosevic has observed that Wingham has an excellent high school and hopes that the citizens are proud of Wingham District High School. "How- ever," he says, "there is one disappointing feature; that is the shortage 01 housing accom- modations. (Ills wife and children still reside in Sarnia.) Perhaps the town should try to improve this situation and in doing so, attract more good quality teachers." On behalf of the student body, I would like to say, "c;ood Luck, Mr. Milosevic.; we wish you the best." First in Cross- Country Meet BY JOHN HAASNOOT 10M Last Thursday, the Huron- Perth Cross Country meet was held at the Wingham District High School. In the Junior division, Wing- ham's Ken Mathers (12:45,6) placed first and Gary Bauer (13:26.4) second; G. Thistle (13;45.0) of Stratford Central came in third. In the Intermediates John Haasnoot of Wingham placed first (20;52.1); S. Boyce of Central Huron placed second (21:02); B. Nickol of Stratford Central placed third (22;27.2). In the Seniors Henry Mar- tens of Listowel (19;45.0) plac- ed first; Brian Caslick of Wing- ham (20:59.2) placed second; P. Bowman of Mitchell placed third (21:16.6). These are just the best three times in each division. There were, of course, many other good runners. Wingham placed first in the Juniors with 16 points and the Intermediates with 18 points while the Seniors came third with 38 points. History Club MARY SCHWARTZENTRUBER If you peek into room 214 next Thursday in the activity period, you will see a group of students, listening intently, each leaning forward in his desk. Then, looking more closely you will see that some are frowning their disapproval while others smile in agree- ment. The activity? -- History Club. The discussion?-- "Is the U.N. of any use in solving world problems?" Or perhaps, "Should Red China be admitted to the U.N.?" History Club is a newly- formed club in W,D.H.S. The club members chose the fol- lowing executive: President, John Blackwell; vice- president, Jim Graham; secretary-treasur- er, Pat Currah. Mr. Higgs is the advisor. Although we have not final- ized our plans for the year, there will be many interesting activities including debates, lectures, films and a trip. If you have a broad know- ledge of history and current events, come to History Club and express your opinion. If history is your weaker subject, come and learn A mother removed a print of "Whistler's Mother" from the wall and her small son asked her later, "Where's the picture of Grandma watching TV?" When a teacher asked her class to write out the Ten Com- mandments, one boy put down, for the Fifth Commandment, "Humor thy father and thy mo- ther." MR. SIMPSON BY DEBBY GIBSON 9A Another new teacher who has chosen Wingham District High School as his first teaching posi- tion is Mr. Simpson. He was born in Midland, On- tario, but at an early age mov- ed to Galt where he spent his elementary and secondary school years. It was in hishigh school years that Mr. Simpson felt he wanted to become a teacher. This wish was fulfill- ed when he graduated from Mc- Master University, Hamilton, where he majored in history. He is now teaching history, sci- ence and business math. His opinion of W.D.H.S. is a good one, He believes it has good teachers and well behaved students. Having seen only one school game he has not yet de- cided what kind of school spirit is shown here. Mr. Simpson enjoys golfing, skating and music. His ambi- tion is to live a happy, con- tented life. His life's highlight was graduating from university. A student in school just mark- ing time until he can drop out is Mr. Simpson's "pet peeve". Ile also believes in the new cirriculum outline because he feels a good choice of courses is important for best scholastic results. I'm sure we all wish Mr. Simpson the best of luck in the future, "I can't understand why you are leaving us. Is it working conditions? hours? the pay?" "Conditions are wonderful and enjoyable. The hours are just right. The pay is good." "Then why wily why are you leaving?" "Because you al- low so many coffee breaks that I can't sleep nights."
