STUDENT COUNCIL
REPORT
The school year of 1979/80
at Madill is off to a good
start, as the Student Council
has been busy with activities
that will help to make this
year one that thestudents
will enjoy and remember.
The year began v'ith the
election of class representa-
tives. These are people elect-
ed by each homeroom to
attend council meetings and
report business of the council
to, the students of their
homeroom.
The first dance of the year
was held on September 21
with music provided by a
band, "Helix". There was an
excellent turnout and.a profit
of. $700 was made.
Student photographs were
taken in early September;
but due``"to a malfunctioning
camera. some of our smiling
faces did not turn out.
Retakes were taken on Oct-
ober 19.
Staff advisors of the clubs
have submitted their budgets
to the Student Council. The
council will begin work on
passing these . as soon as,
possible.
Grade nine night (Ankle -
biters' Eve) was held on
October 12 to welcome the
newest members of the Mad-
ill student body... An enthus-
iastic group attended and
hopefully, all had an enjoy-
able time.
The Athletic Council has
initiated something new this
year --Grade Thirteen Intra
murals. Grade Thirteens who
are looking for something to
do on their lunch hours be
sure and sign up.
Last, but not least, rem-
ember that October 31, Hal
lowe'en, is Purple and White
Day at Madill! ! ! ALL the
students (and staff, too) will
be wearing the school col-
ours. Those who don't will
have to contend with Mad -
ill's own "Non -Purple People
Eater' .
GRADE NINE NIGHT
The purpose of Grade Nine
,.
Anklebiter's Eve
Night is to make then first
year students of F. E. Madill
feel at home and certainly
the grade niners should feel
welcome for they were treat-
ed to a night of fun; food, and
entertainment.
To start things rolling, the
grade niners or anklebiters,
as they are affectionately
known, were greeted by our
cheerleaders who showed
what the purple and white
spirit is • all about. Games
were next and the grade
niners played such games as.
blind volley ball orpinball to
name a few. Entertainment
was provided by the Drama
Club who presented "A day
in the life of Television".
Television shows ranged
from the mupp pet lab which
had a secret "formula to help
"grade niners" grow, guar-
anteeing they would no long-
er have to reach up to flush
the toilet; and baseball gam-
es which had everyone totally
confused as to who was on
first base. By this time,
everyone was getting .hun-
gry, so it was off to • the
cafeteria for a delicious meal,
thanks to Mr. Lee and his
staff. •
The evening was topped
off by a dance. Music was
provided by our own "Stud-
io' actually Kemp, Currie
and Stephen Pritchard. All
too soon it' was ten o'clock
and time togo home with
some happy memories. Spec-
ial thanks to Ian Mann and
Norma Maclntyre, our school
president and vice president.
and anyone else who helped.
Just one more thing, WEL-
COME Grade Niners and we
hope you enjoy your stay at
"good of F. E.".

SING, MUSTANGS, SING!
As any . student of F. E.
Madill would know as they
walk by the cafeteria on
certain days of the week, the
F..E. Madill choir has again
launched into a new season.
Strains 'of 'One World",
"Canticle of Praise" and
"Autumn Leaves" can be
heard from the voices of a.
large section of the student
body as they attempt to
harmoniously put together
the pieces chosen • by the. \\4
director, Mrs. Douglas,
The beginning months of
the choir are always the most
difficult. The students are
preparing to sing for Com-
mencement, the Remem-
brance Day assembly, the
annual CKNX Christmas tap-
ing and the Christmas as-
sembly.
So far the choir has met in
two separate groups, the
Juniors, consisting of Grades
9 and 10 and the. Seniors,
Grades 11,, 12 and 13. The
boys are part of both 'the
Junior and the Senior choir
because there are so few of
them.
1'm' certain, that the choir
will do just .as wellthis year
as they have in the past.
They'll continue to come to
F. E. Madill special events
just to "share a smile and a
song or two".

SR. GIRLS' BASKETBALL
On Friday, October 12 the
Mustang , basketball teams
faced, once again, their arch
rivals from Goderich.
In the . Senior game, the
Madill squad found them-
selves up against a tough
zone press and defense. The
first quarter exhibited close,
exciting_ basketball , as it
ended in a 10-8 score for
Goderich. The purple and
white fought back, and their
success in breaking the Vik-
ingpress resulted in a 13-13
lead for Madill as the half-
time buzzer went.
The third quarter saw the
Mustangs in a shooting
slump as they put up only
seven shots. Goderich took
full advantage of this and
went .ahead by two: Although
good solid defense was olav-
ed inthe final quarter, the
Vikings scored three quick ..
baskets to the Mustangs one.
Good hustle put them back in
the game; as Tess Nethery
