Pfohl busy at her desk, preparing lessons for her Grade 9 Math, students, and Grade 10 History classes. Miss Pfohl has been on the teaching staff of W,D.H.S. since 1961, when she accepted the position of Home Econom- ics teacher. Since 1961 she has left Home Economics be- hind, and now teaches Math and History. Born and raised on a farm near Walkerton Miss Pfohl at- tended a dit;-,room rurai. School, then Walkerton District High School. Deciding that teach- ing would be her profession, Miss Pfohl spent a year at Strat- ford Teachers' College, and then entered the University of Western Ontario where she ob- tained her B. A„ majoring in History. Before coming to W D. H. S., Miss Pfohl taught for three years in a rural ele- mentary school in Normanby Township. The introduction of the six- day week schedule has brought various comments, most of them favourable, from both students and teachers. Miss Pfohl feels that the new pro- gramme is beneficial, because it has led to a more pleasant classroom atmosphere, and a better student-teacher relation- ship. Miss Pfohl says that W.D. H.S„ in her opinion, is very well organized, and that stud- ents on the whole are co-opera- tive, Outside interests of Miss Pfohl include reading, sewing, and handcrafts, and her aspira- tion at the present time is to travel this summer. We wish Miss Pfohl success at W.D.H.S., and wherever her travels may take her. BY PAT ZURBRIGG The automobile door slam- med shut, and the nearby build- ings shook as the echo reached them. The roar died away, en- gulling her in the din of every- day clamour, as a gigantic shadow blackened the print of her newspaper. Startled, she gazed upwards. Before her stood a giant of a man, topcoat askew, and derby hat perched on top of what seemed like a mountain of pink flesh. "Where's y'r ma?" he asked gruffly, As he spoke, yellowed teeth like miniature daggers seemed to fill his monstrous cavity. Why did he want her MOM 9 She ain't here, "she replied,: trying to look brave but know- ing she had failed. It was sel- dom that people came to their "down-and-out" part of town, to visit! She eyed him with suspicion, "Why d' you want 'er?" His face clouded, and the eyebrows already closely knit, moved nearer together, as if unused to such questions. Deep- set eyes glared at her and a fin- ger shot out as he replied, searching for words, "I'll take no lip from a young'un. When I'm here you'll say 'Yes 'ir!, an' I'm likely to be here a spell, 'cause it ain't often I get home." A smile, unexpectedly friendly, broke the tense mo- ment. "You see, kid, " he con- tinued, "you're lookin' at your long, lost dadda' !' At the conclusion of that series of statements, he drop- ped like a mountain on a bend- ing chair, and as the chair groaned its agony there was on- ly one thought on her mind, "What '11 ma say?" Black is the colour The ominous headstone sat on the muddy grave and guard- ed its occupant well. A steady drizzle fell the morning of the interment but the lonely wom- an by the graveside felt neith- er the rain nor the damp ground beneath. The widow's eyes were red and swoolen from the tears that wouldn't come anymore and her entire soul ached when she thought of the virile man who had been her husband. It had only been a week ago when he was living, feeling, loving. The wife sank to her knees and tried to connect, in some way, the lifeless body in the casket to the husband she had loved and touched so short a time ago. The husband, who loved life and beauty and the feeling of the warm sun and the salt spray on his face. But no more. And as the distraught young wife got to her feet and walked from the black cemetery, a thousand other women; wives, mothers, lovers, were asking Yea, Mustangs! BY LEE WENGER Banners and balloons decor- ated the gymnasium on Friday night for the long awaited oc- casion -- the Victory Dance. Visitors from Goderich honored us with their presence, which was fitting, since after all, the Goderich Vikings tied with the Mustangs for the championship. Music was by the Saints and Sinners from Listowel and be- cause of this we found we had a few Listowel fans in the crowd also. The turnout was marvel- the same question that wasrun- ning through the other widow's mind. Why? Yet there is no answer, for it is an accepted fact, that in wartime, black is the colour. S. cus and the gym was well fill, ed, The big moment came when Doug Elliott announced the school's Miss Mustang 1906-07, Miss Mustang is the cheerlead- er chosen for the honor by the football team and their selec- tion was Mary Lillow, Congrat , ulations, Mary, Doug Elliott crowned Miss Mustang and presented her with a miniature football from the team, Sally Galbraith, presi- dent of the Students' Courted, presented Mary with a bouquet of red roses from the council, The radiant Miss Mustang ex* pressed her gratitude to all.
