S. S. A. track and field meet. The rain, snow and cold couldn't dampen the 'esprit de corps" (we didn't have any to begin with - would you believe), Under the coaching of Mr. Stuckey the boys made a fine showing. In the junior mile Ken Mathers came from eighth position to finish fourth with a time of 5:09.4. Bill Skinn, also a junior, hopped, skipped and jumped his way to sixth position in the triple jump. Continuing his great hurdl- ing style Norm Corrin came third in the intermediate hur- dles. His time was just .5 of a second slower than the record winning time of 15.9. One of the most exciting events of the day was the senior mile. John Ross showed his great running ability in this event. He came fourth with a time of 4:37.2. Another fine senior, Allen Colwell, took sixth place in the 440 yard dash. John Ross and Allen Colwell teamed up with. Don Cronin and Brian Caslick to run the open mile relay. The Mustangs took an easy fifth position in this event. Although the team didn't win anything it gave a much better showing than last year and with the aid of our enthusi- astic coaches it will almost cer- tainly improve in the future. GIRLS' EVENTS BY SHEILA IRELAND 12A On Saturday, four girls from the school's track and field team went to Woodstock to take part in the W.O.S.S.A. Track Meet. Although it began 'to pour half way through their event, Esther Fish and Barb White prov- ed that practise helps, by plac- ing second and third respective- ly in the shot put. The cold persisted but Sheila Ireland came through with her best jump of the season 14' 6" but unfortunately placed 7th in the running long jump, which was won by a London girl whose jump was 16' 21". After dinner it was Bonnie Willie's turn to show what she could do. Bonnie made a beau- tiful put in the shot put but be- cause of rules beyond our con- trol it was disqualified. Congratulations should be given to these girls for their wonderful showing and the re- cognition that they brought to their school. "Madam," said the ticket examiner, "you cannot travel first-class with a third-class ticket." "But I'm one of the director's wives," she protest- ed. "You couldn't do it mad- am," he rejoined, "if you were the director's only wife." Jane: "Jack was at the mas- querade last night, but I could not tell him from Adam." John: ,"My heavens! Did they dress like that?" House League table tennis winners: First lunch, Rae Gur- ney; second lunch, Donna Mun- dell. House League standings: Blue 249; Orange 237; White 237; Purple 237; Red 235; Black 212; Yellow 311; Green 209. ' 0--0--0 As the school year for 66-67 is drawing to a close the com- petition for the house league race is getting closer to the fin- ish. Tension is mounting and the final event, seat soccer, will probably decide the event- ual winner. This year, unlike the other years in the house league, is ending in a terrific battle for first place as the eight houses are all within a 30-point span. The present leader is the Blue house with 249 points, the White and Red are next with 237, Purple 232, Black 212, Orange 211, Green 209. As you can see the winner of the seat soccer in the boys and ta- ble tennis in the girls will de- cide which house wins the plaque. With all the tension in these seat soccer games they tend to get a little bit rough if there happens to be a large number of competitors on the floor at the same time so if you see students limping around the halls you'll know they put up a good fight. Another trophy, the large seat soccer trophy, is in the cabinet by the fountain. If you would like to have your house on that trophy get out and fight for that championship. Also coming up soon is the bar assembly and this year there are quite a few of the athletic, scholastic, activity and all- star awards to be given out to various students. Last Saturday the Wingham Mustang track team travelled to London and Woodstock to com- pete in the W, 0. S. S.A. track and field meet. The tennis club has started practise and they will be play- ing in the summer so if you want to join get your name in quick. This has been a good year at W.D.H.S. and it will probably be the last under this name. We are very proud of all the sports teams that won and are grate- ful to those teachers who drove, aided and perfected these events which represented our high school all over this area. I'm sure wherever the Wingham teams went they put on a fine show not only in the event but also in their conduct and good manners when not participating. Some of the teachers who deserve a lot of credit are Mr. Campbell who led the Mustang football team to a Huron-Perth Championship. He also worked with the junior basketball team which if not for bad weather Might have done better. And he, along with Mr. Stuckey, Mrs. MacLennan and Mrs. Un- derwood worked with the track team, a factor which gave the boys a championship and the whole team an overall third place. Credit also goes to Mr. Gnay who brought his wrestling team through a tough year tak- ing Huron-Perth and placing second in W.O.S.S. A. which was the best since this sport was brought to W.D.H.S. Mr, Stuc- key, another leader of the sports scene ran his cross-coun- try team to a Huron-Perth championship. There are a lot of other teachers and students which made this year a great one in the sports field. I believe that next year Wingham can do even better than this year and with a little more support from those would- be football, basketball, wrest- ling or track and field stars we can do it. If those students who could, but won't come out to the certain sports clubs decided to put their share of work into the sporting scene next year we could really romp to victory af- ter victory in every event and believe me, there is nothing more joyous and satisfying than when your team beats all other competitors and captures the crown. With new students next year and a larger enrolment, surely more people will give up being a nobody and join a team. I'll warn you right now, it won't be easy and you'll really have to work. Once you've tasted a little bit of victory you won't want to stop and remember the saying of Homer who wrote the Odyssey, "There is no greater glory for a man as long as he lives than that which he wins by his own hands and feet". Hear about Ghana at history club BY BETTY HETHERINGTON Last Thursday, the Clio Club, (that's the History Club to most people) was grateful for a visit from Mr. Appiah, a na- tive of Ghana. He is the head of educational radio broadcast- ing there. Mr. Appiah spoke briefly on the climate, vegetation and gold in Ghana. His description of the processing of cocoa from its initial stage on the cocoa tree proved most interesting. Ghana produces one-half of the world's supply of cocoa. After Mr. Appiah's descrip- tion of Ghana, I think there were several Clio members ready to return to Africa with him. Kerry Stuckey got a little of his own medicine when Peter Mason took over at Camera Club. Mr. Willis checks over some of the photography done by Mary Ann Phelan. David Wallace picks up a few pointers too. What teachers (male) think of girls' cosmetics. 0--0--0 MR. CAMPBELL; "Girls look good without it. Eye makeup is horrible." 0--0--0 MR. HIGGS: "If a man can see it she's got too much on." 0--0--0 MR. BEARD: "Beauty is on- ly skin deep, if they haven't got it they have to make it." Epic makes the scene with a brand new look in two exciting models. Epic and Epic Deluxe. Be one up on everyone else. Have Nil driving a small car. Drive Epic. It's a small car with a lot of big car features. It's common sense motoring from General Motors. The styling adds to the overall perform- ance. It's longer, wider, lower. This means greater stability, improved handling, better cornering. It responds like a sports car. The more powerful engine is quietly en- thusiastic, More fun to drive. Whether and Vitutid tit DA The Mustang Corral MR. FORREST: "No com- ment." 0--0--0 MR. JONES: "If a girl is as ugly as sin in the first place, makeup won't do anything for her. A really pretty girl will look good without makeup." 0--0--0 MR. ROBERSON: "Some people need it." No matter how tempting the water seems, stay on shore when you're overtired.
