BY ANNE =FIELD, 12A
As 1967 draws to a close,
many people are asking them-
selves what the centennial has
uteant to them. To me, the
centennial will always have a
special significance. This sum-
mer, with 22 other students
from Western Ontario, Bob
Worrell and I, representing W.
D.H.S. travelled to North Van-
couver and during this trip
learned more of what a great
thing it is to be a Canadian.
On July 28, we boarded the
2 p.m. train at Stratford to be-
gin our wonderful adventure.
After changing trains at Toronto
we settled ourselves in our new
home for the next few days -- a
car on the CN Super Continent-
al train 3. Although we were
all strangers that afternoon, by
that night it seemed that we
had always known each other.
We had pillow fights, watched
the everchanging scenery, ex-
plored the train, sang, and
played cards, and played cards,
and played cards All in all,
it was a lot of fun and certainly
not the relaxing, pleasantly bor-
ing trip we had expected. The
day we went through the Rock-
ies, we sat in the dome car
from 4;00 when we left Edmon-
ton until after dark. The next
morning six of us were up at
5:30 to see the magnificent Fra-
zer Canyon.
At last on Monday morning,
tired and happy but rather ner-
vous at the prospect of meeting
our hosts, we arrived at Vancou-
ver. However, the warmth and
friendliness of our hosts and the
dignitaries who greeted unmade
us feel at ease.
What a busy schedule they
had planned for us! The days
were planned by the Centennial
committee and the host stud-
ents had planned the night pro-
grams.
As the remainder of the day
was free, my host family took
me for a swim at Third Beach in
Stanley Park. That evening
there was a get-acquainted
beach party at Ambleside Beach.
The next morning we went
on a tour of the North Shore,
including Cleveland Dam which
supplies most of North Van's
water, Grouse Mountain, and
the beautiful homes of the Brit-
ish Properties. In the afternoon
we toured the zoo, aquarium
and nature trails of beautiful
Stanley Park. A trip up Grouse
Mountain on the gondola was
the activity of the evening.
It was up bright and early
the next morning for a trip to
Victoria. After a delightful
trip on the Isawwassen-Swartz
Bay ferry, we had a luncheon at
the Empress Hotel, courtesy of
the Centennial committee, and
a tour of Victoria and surround-
ing parts of Vancouver Island.
After returning home that night
there was a swimming party at
the pool at one of the host's
homes.
On Thursday, our free day,
we toured the beautiful new
Simon Frazer University which
is completely enclosed and
built in modern Greek style.
Then we went to downtown .Van
couver to watch the hippies and
shop. At 4;00 we met in China-
town for a tour and an 8 course
Chinese supper eaten entirely
with chopsticks (no fair using
forks), at the Ho Ho Restaur-
ant. In the evening we saw
"To Sir, With Love", watched
Vancouver's Centennial foun-
tain and the hippies and visited
some of the exclusive hotels
until we were ordered out of
the Bayshore where Prince Rain-
er of Monaco was staying.
Friday's tour of Vancouver
included a large sawmill, the
lovely Queen Elizabeth Gardens
the airport, beautiful U.B.C.
and a swim at the beach on the
campus of the university. That
night we attended the exciting
Teenage Fair which included
the top bands, several displays
by designers, hippies, hair
stylists and cosmetic compan-
ies.
On Saturday we went to
Alice Lake, a lovely little
glacial lake nestled in the
Rockies, for a wonderful day of
swimming, hiking, talking and
relaxing. At night there was a
farewell semi-formal party at
one girl's home.

"No man is an island." They
tell me that there was a time
when students believed that: a
time, long ago, when they be-
lieved in the human part of
man.
I, a student of Wingham
District High School, find this
hard to understand, You see, I
am a proper product of the" fact
factory". I come equipped
with novels, slide rule, and ball
point pen. I am prepared to
cope with everything inanimate
and unemotional. I am a true
brother to the machine.
I have learned well that life
is indeed, a bowl of facts. I
am a fact. I am a twentieth
century master mind because I
am "getting an education". I
now know how to exist and to
On Sunday, our last day,
there were no planned activi-
ties. After the mournful job of
packing, my hosts took me
across the suspension bridge,
swaying dizzily high above
Capilano Canyon and for one
long, last look at beautiful Van-
couver. At the goodbye cere-
monies, all the girls were giv-
en beautiful corsages which we
all had frozen on the train as
souvenirs, There were tears in
the eyes of most as we said
goodbye to all our new friends.
And, fittingly, for the first
time since the beginning of our
trip, the sky was overcast, and
it rained.
Writing this brings back so
many memories that I would
love to tell you, much more
than space permits. When I
think of Vancouver, I will al-
ways think of the wonderful
people, places and events that
made this summer the greatest
ever.
muddle through. I am mature.
To become mature I had to
destroy my love of fun and
games, to contemplate about
Hardy's middle name, to re-
member the atomic weight of
strontium. I had to change my
idols from the lovely, the spon-
taneous, the humorous, to the
quiet, the serious, the unemo-
tional. The brain minus the
heart is my motto.
This is why I lack the spirit,
heart and soul of former Wing-
ham students. I can't care. I
must leave the cheering to the
immature, the dancing to the
youngsters.
You see, the only emotions
I have are... are... Actually,
I am a void. Islands don't
cheer, dance, or have fun and
-- I am an island.

WELCOME BACK, MISS B.
On Wednesday, October 4,
a familiar face returned to W.
D.H.S. -- that being Miss Bes-
witherick -- the one and only
Latin teacher at our school. Of
course, everyone was in her
home room, number 205 on
Wednesday morning to welcome
her back.
As you all know, she was in
an automobile accident last
June, and she still has a cast
on her right leg.
On behalf of the student
body, I wish you well, and it's
great to have you back on the
job!
Third win
for Mustangs
BY DOUG ELLIOTT
Last Wednesday the Seaforth
Golden Bears travelled to Wing-
ham to suffer a humiliating 27-
2 loss under the powerful force
of the Mustangs.
Scoring the four Wingham
touchdowns were Robert Arm-
strong, Randy McGlynn, Dave
Gowing and Dale Wardley. Ro-
bert Armstrong also kicked a
single point and Murray Elston
caught a Gnay's special pass for
a two point conversion.
The Mustangs have now won
3 out of 3 games.
Lee Grove, Grade IX, takes a quick glance through a text
book at his locker. The Grade IX students have pretty
well overcome the confusion of the first couple of weeks
in high school and now find their way around almost as
well as the old-timers.
