This article is to satisfy the
curiosity of those people who
couldn't figure out where grade
11 A and B students were going
last Thursday morning, dressed
in slacks and coats and in some
eases rain coats. Well, for
your special information we
went on a unique field trip and
believe me, unique is the word,
for if you will recall it rained
last Thursday and without a
doubt it was the wettest day yet
this year. But being the brave
outgoing, healthy people that
we are, this didn't daunt us in
the least.
Now, you must understand
this was not just to be a day off
school, Oh, no, we were sup-
posed to apply our vast store of
knowledge of "the effects of
glaciation in our area" and
come up with some brilliant
answers as to why the sub-sur-
face rocks are not sub-surface
in Formosa, and what was the
site-factor of the village of Cey-
lon compared to Priceville.
Questions of such nature were
nicely typed on a seven page
manual supplied by our hard
working geography teacher, Mr.
Bender, who was the originator
of such questions.
By going through Teeswater,
Formosa, Walkerton, Hanover,
Allan Park and Durham, not to
mention Priceville, Ceylon and
Flesherton, we were able to
view other glacial features such
as drumland fields, eskers, ket-
tles, kames and a spillway and
various outcroppings. Only
those people who have attained
knowledge from a grade eleven
geography course will under-
stand the preceding terms.
At Eugenia Falls, which was
our destination, we had the
pleasure of viewing "the falls"
and climbing a steep, muddy
hill from which we could view
the surrounding countryside dur-
ing which time it rained stead-
ily.
A little general store at Eu-
genia Falls had the shock of its
life when approximately fifty

If you have difficulty hand-
ling your friends, why not come
to Judo Club and see how it's
really done? There are classes
every Monday and Wednesday
from 4:00 to 5;00 p.m.
At present, the members of
the club are Doug Alcorn,
Elaine Carter, Sheila Crewson,
Donna Malick, Joan Remington,
Ann Vath and Ron Goy. The
instructor, Mr. Roberson, holds
a brown belt and is really a
great person to work with.
Besides keeping you physical
ly fit, judo provides a source of
good, clean fun. Many of the
different techniques learned are
students crammed into it to get
food to replenish all the energy
we used climbing the hill. Af-
ter lunch we viewed the reser-
voir near Eugenia from the oth-
er side of seventeen feet ef gra,
Vel so really all we saw was a
pile of gravel, but we all be-
lieve Mr, Bender when he said
the reservoir and a dam were on
the other side.
At this time I might add
that our company was honored
by the presence of Mr. Aberle,
another geography teacher in
our high school. He served the
worthy purpose of controlling
and guiding one of the busloads
of students.
The two buses then proced-
ed on a tour of Beaver Valley.
In this area the ever present
manual asked such questions as
to estimate the percentage of
forest cover, crop land and
pasture land in the valley --
this started many arguments.
By this time, after viewing the
generating station in the valley
we were so soaked it was a joke
if you weren't wet you just
weren't "with it".
On the way home we stopped
at such metropoli as Flesherton
and Durham but since they fail-
ed to catch our interest we
went on to Hanover where we
stopped for food. I'm sure Han-
over will always remember
Wingham students, especially a
certain meat market.
Students of 11A and B would
like to thank Mr. Bender and
Mr. Aberle for giving us a day
we will always remember and
as soon as we recover from
pneumonia we will hand in our
reports.
I think more ventures of this
nature should be planned for not
only geography classes but for
almost every subject. The
work taken during the year
seems to come alive and be-
comes much more worthwhile
when it can be applied by stud-
ents. I think more was learned
on this one-day field trip than
a whole week of classes could
ever hope to accomplish.

taught hand attacks, various de-
fences for chokes, knife at-
tacks, and general defences for
handling the aggressive male.

syth went to the Alumni Hall at
the University of Western On-
tario on Friday evening to at-
tend the graduation exercises of

Miss Judy Callan and Miss Al-

It was a bad day not only for
running but also for the other
teams when the W.D.H.S.track
team arrived in Mitchell for the
annual Huron-Perth meet. With
the four coaches, Mrs. Under-
wood, Miss MacLennan, Mr.
Campbell and Mr. Stuckey, the
boys romped to a victory and
topped the boys' events. The
girls fought gallantly for third
spot in their standing as the
school placed third, behind St.
Marys and Stratford Central
'which was a great comback
from last year and an even
brighter look into next year's
meet.
Some of the outstanding ath-
letes on the Mustang team were:
"JUNIORS
Ken Mathers placed second
in the 880 and in one of the
most exciting runs of the day
placed first in the mile, just a
fraction ahead of the second
place man.
In the triple jump Wingham
took first and second and Bill
Skinn and Gary Bauer perform-
ed like true Mustangs.
INTERMEDIATES
John Haasnoot showed how
well his cross-country practise
benefitted him as he won the
Intermediate mile and placed
third behind second place run-
ner John Ross in the open 2mile.
Norm Corrin in his great
hurdling style smashed the old
18.4 sec. record by 1.2 seconds
as he won this event.
Bryan Walden, the little
dynamo with a pole, won the
pole vaulting event with a
height of 10' 8/". Great work,
Bryan.
Also Kevin Fisher placed
second in the high jump behind
Cam Colquhoun of Central
Huron who took the Intermedi-
ate championship. Nice try
Kevin,
SENIORS
Allen COlwell, one of our
fine Lucknow men, took first
place in the 440 yard dash and
helped tremendously in the re-
lays.
John Ross, another newcom-
er to Wingham, showed his
great running ability as he plac-
ed 'second in both the mile and
open two mile, both times be-
hind Henry Martens of Listowel,
(former Wingham student, ha!)..
Doug Gibson hopped, stepped
and jumped to a great victory
in the triple jump with a length
of 29' 101".
The relay teams were also in
fine form as the team of Cor-
rin, Anderson, Willie and Ward-
ley placed second.
In the senior 440 yard relay
Callan, Caslick, Gowing and
Walden placed second in a
close match.
In the senior mile relay
Cronin, Colwell, Ross and Cas-
lick took top spot far ahead of
their competitors.
GIRLS' EVENTS
The Wingham girls' track
and field team made an excep-
tional showing at the field meet.
The events won by Wingham
girls were;
Junior shot, Barb White first
(broke record), Esther Fish sec-
ond.
Senior shot, Sharon Stanley
second.
Junior discus, Bonnie Willie
second.
