Siticients make $2000 profit on chocolate bars BY GLORIA REED 13A Students of W.D.H.S. give yourselves a pat on the back because you've done it again! You've sold 1000 dozen bars again this year, giving the Student Council an approximate profit of $2, 000 to work with in the following school year. Special credit should go to the four top salesmen of the school, Sam Ryder who sold 22 dozen bars and Paul Guest who sold 20 dozen bars. Third and fourth prizes went to Helen Van Amersfoort and Linda Johnston. Congratulations! Prizes were also given to the first class to reach the class quota, 9F, and to the class with the highest sales, 10C. Congratulations also to the seven winners of the Lucky "7" Draw. Perhaps they will buy more chocolate bars with their cash prizes. Who knows? As for all other students who helped the school in the cam- paign, thank you. On Saturday, October 28 the cheerleaders of Wingham and District High School travel- led to Toronto to attend a cheerleading rally at Woburn High School, Scarborough. It was an unforgettable exper- ience for us, since it was our first year to attend such a rally. Approximately 2,000 girls were present, or maybe I'd bet- ter say students for I noticed a few young gentlemen cheer- leaders in the crowd, The con- ference began at ten o'clock, Upon arriving we were directed to the auditorium which to us resembled a miniature Maple Leaf Gardens. What impressed us most were the fabulous uni- forms. We felt like crawling in a hole with our aged outfits but we forgot about what we looked like after we began cheering. I certainly must say we learned a great deal. from wat- ching other schools perform. We were amazed at the per- fect timing and the quick, snappy actions of the cheer- leaders. We honestly couldn't wait to get home and practise. Newt Loken and his daughter from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor were present to teach us new cheers. After lunch we all assembled on the football field for com- BY JOAN BENNETT Mr. Farnell, born on a farm near Shelbourne attended Shel- bourne High School. He fin- ished there in 1940 and got his degree at Western University in 1951. Mr. Farnell spent seven years teaching at Sydenham High School and previous to that he was employed at Can- adian Arsenals near Montreal petition. We put on a good fight for Wingham but unfort- unately not good enough. About 4.00 we were heading home and after stopping at Guelph arrived home about 7 p. rn. Only one major catastrophy to report. We accidentally left two cheerleaders in Guelph. However, they arrived home safely for their parents went to their rescue. All in all, we had a wonder- ful time and on behalf 'of the rest I would like to thank Miss Small for her great coaching, Mrs. Tiffin and the bus driver, Mike Rowe from Teeswater. before corning to Wingham District High School. He plans to continue teaching mathe- matics to grades 9,11, and 12 at W.D.H.S. for a few more years, and then he would like to turn to industry. Mr. Farnell also enjoys gardening in his spare time. On behalf of the student body I'd like to welcome Mr. Farnell to our school. Intermediates first in 'r .O.S.S.A. cross country BY DALE SIMPSON 129 Last Saturday the W, D, H. S. Cross Country Team went to Sarnia to compete in the W. O. $,S.A. championship. We made a good overall standing in the hard-run races. The intermediates fought hard to finish first in their divi- sion. Our first runner to cross the finish line was John Rae who placed fifth in a competi- tive 2+ mile race, The juniors placed third in a fast 1+ mile race. Ken Math- ers, our first runner placed third in the tough competition. The senior's run was 4 miles which consisted of the junior's course plus the intermediate's course. Our first runner was John Haasnoot who placed fifth in competition with approxi- mately 80 other runners. As a team we placed fifth, yielding to the fourth school by only one point. As a result the juniors and intermediates will go to Hamil- ton this coming Saturday to represent Wingham in the all- Ontario cross-country meet. Wingham now has a noted name in W.O. S. S. A. compe- :ion, and if other schools were worried about us this year, just gait until next year. Mustangs get fifth victory BY DOUG ELLIOTT Last week the student body, which turned out in full force to cheer their team, were treated to a rough and thrilling 14-8 victory over the Listowel team. The Mustangs knew that to gain a play-off spot they would have to win this game so they were rarin' to go right from the start. It was a fairly cold day and this made the tackles and blocks seem even more crunch- ing. The defensive squad was the stand-out in the game. They kept the Listowel offense to only a few first downs all day. They foiled the Listowel at- tempts to score by showing ex- cellent tackling form. Listowel opened the scoring early when they tackled a Wingham player in the end zone for two points. The offensive unit, not to be shown up by the defense thrilled the jubilant fans by bursting out of their formation and marching steadily up the field into scoring territory. At first they had trouble when they got within the Listowel 15-yard line and failed in their attempts to score, but they finally broke through the bar- rier when fullback Doug Giblon went seven yards for a touch- down. Listowel, after picking up a Wingham fumble and running it to the 3-yard line scored a major on their third down and the score was 8-6 for Listowel at half time. After a conference during the half-time the Mustangs came out roaring and Robert Armstrong, the Wingham kick- er, bouted a terrific punt into the end zone for a single point, making it 8.7 and then after putting on a great show at de- fensive tackle John O'Malley, with the help of Pete Snow, blocked a kick and deflected it into the end zone for another poi nt. In the final quarter, not to be bettered by his fellow full- back, Randy McGlynn bowled his way over the Listowel goal for the final score of the game. As a playe,r in the game, the encouragement of the full student body when we made long runs was a lot more help- ful than anything else could have been. Now that Wingharn is in the play-offs with at least one mote home game, the team asks a turnout of the en- tire school. Those cheers will give the Mustangs the extra energy heeded to defeat the opponents. By the time this is read the semi-final game will be over and if the Mustangs play as they did last week, with the student body behind them, they will bring undispu- ted victory to W.D.1-1,5.
