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.". LYNNE NICOLSON 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". ALICE VANDER KLIPPE 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 Turn to page 2114 EAR YE! Members of Lucknow Business Assoc.
