I would like to reiterate, in part, some of the things which said at the student assembly on the first day of school. It is a very great honor to have been named principal of F. E. Madill Second- ary School and it is my earnest desire that I will always be worthy of the trust vested in me. F. E. Madill Secondary School has a proud history going back as far as 1906 bit its strength has been ...in its tradition of main- taining academic excellence. As the new principal, I hope to pro- mote and encourage this pursuit. At another . recent student assembly, R. A. Campbell, Head of the Physical Education Department, reminded students about the winning tradition which used to be part of Madill. While the school has had some lean /years recently in team cham- pionships, it is my hope that this situation can be turned around. Perhaps the last week where three teams- out, of four were victorious is indicatiVe-of better ist School Dance Friday, September 26 was the date for the first school dance. Yukon, from Kitchener, provided the music. 600 people attended the dance to provide the Student Council with a sizeable profit of $382.00. No ' problems were encountered throughout the even- ing and the dance was' a success. Thanks to the. Chaperones and prefects. The next dance is scheduled for October 24th with Homespun, from London, Playing, Football ° On October 2, the football teams travelled to Goderich and returned with- the following results, The seniors, after the first half, had limited Goderich to a net 28 yards, Meantime the offense picked up 48 yards: The score at the end of half time was GOderich 7, Madill 0. The second half saw only Goderich on the scoreboard, with the final score being Goderich 42, Madill 0'. Although Madill lost on the scorebOard, they sure didn't in the trenches. Not in many a year has a Senior Mustang team physically handled Goderich. Now all that is left is to beat then] on the scoreboard. In the junior game, the defense played an excellent game, however the offense just couldn't seem to capitalize— One of the highlights of the game froin our standpoint was Glenn Jeffrey taking a hand-Off, from the Goderich quarterback. Key defensive players were Jeff- rey, Whitfield, Armstrong and Hamilton. All of these players picked off interceptions. Goderich came out on the winning end score, being 14 - 0 for Goderich. days ahead. The student fraternity at F. E. Madill, which 'now. numbers 1,230 has always been known for its friendly and co-operative spirit. Hopefully, this esprit de corps can be maintained and promoted in an age- where collective in- difference seems to prevap over individual good will and under- standing. Further along this line, it is my hope that our school com- munity at the top of the hill will , continue to have friendly rela- tions with the home owners in our neighborhood. Finally the, editors and staff of the school page are to be com- mended for their efforts in using this page as a vehicle to expresS student opinion and to provide a cross section of the happenings at F. E. Madill Secondary 'School. Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily Well. Antoine Arnauld. Basketball The girls' basketball teams travelled to Seaforth on October 2. The seniors had an exciting 'game and was probably the most exciting ever played in Seaforth. Madill had a 6 point lead-at the end of the first quarter and as time' wore' on, Seaforth started earthing up. At the end of regulation time the score, was a 20 - 2DAie. In the overtime period, Ruth' Henderson scored the winning basket on a foul shot. Final score, Madill 25, Seaforth 22. The junior girls also played in Seaforth the same clay. The game was tied '18 - 18 after the third period of play. During the final quarter Madill, pulled away and won the game '32 - 18. Do it Signs around the halls of F. E. Madill la4t week urged students to "Do On blackboards, above doors, along shop corridor, every- one read the message. There was a problem. - no one knew what "it" was. And how can you "do it'.' if ybu don't know what you're supposed to do? At the Monday morning assemb- ly this week the mystery was solved. The signs signified the beginning of our annual yearbook sales campaign. Do it! Buy your yearbook! Each student who buys a year- book receives a collar pin which proudly proclaims did it!'. Hope- fully, in the next two weeks, eight hundred students will receive their pins. .The support of the student body is needed if the yearbook for '7576 is to be a success. The Yearbocik club hatS been meeting for three weeks now. Approximately twenty people will be working under the leadership of this year's editor, Marilyn Con- gram. The Yearbook Club is one of the oldest clubs in .the school. The members of this club all work hard to give the students of F. E. Madill a remembrance of this school year through class pictures, activities and sports write-ups, and those ever-popular candid photos! So support this club and buy a yearbook. DO it! Editorial By Joan Leishman, Editor. It is Monday morning • and probably your first awakening thoughts are of books, buses and school: Yes, that solid Monument, high upon the hill, whose walls bulge, with knowledge,, comes into view at approximately 8A5 a.m. for almost every teenager on the block. Because of our present youth, we feel immune 'to 'growing old"; which also Makes us invincible to the problems which becoining an adult brings. We are young and' carefree and inqiiisitive: We hate to. be classified, because it took those many years of childhood to finally gain recognitfon and become an individual. To each his own, the saying goes and when has that been more appropriate than now, in this age of high life, fashion-and fad? We seek our individuality in various ways ranging from the hippie movement to the bookworm. It doesn't matter how we obtain it as long as everyone realizes We exist and that We do so, upOn, our own actions and train , of thought. Education to many is dull, fruitless and clearly 'a wasted. effort. To others, learning stimulates feelings of security and comprehension. Inspite of. one's attitude, I don't think anyone can pass through these doors without learning something. This is where our minds develop. . Not only in Math , and English class, 'but by being with others, we expand our awareness of . ourselves, and. friends. Our imaginations are stimulated, perceptions quickened and OUT general mental outlook is broadened by' the presence of fellow students. Long after the chemistry, equation is forgotten, happy memories remain. We are teenagers and students, but, even more important, we are people. People trying desperately to amplify what we think and to relate OUT fresh knowledge to the adult world into which we will soon be thrust. It is the beginning of a new term, the first year of high school for many, whom we welcome, and the last .year for others whom we congratulate. Well, soon it will be -Monday morning again, and of course, our awakening thoughts will be of books, buses and school. Student Interviews wow 10,000 Visit Bruce "rept At Ploughing Match Bruce County hospitality tent at . the International Ploughing Match held in Oshawa was host to 'over, 10,000 people. A group of Bruce County helpers was' on hand serving coffee, Bruce County cheese and pamphlets for next year's 'International to be held in Bruce County. The greatest event was the winning of the Queen of the Furrow by a Bruce County girl. Miss Dawn Brunton of Tara won' the award at the final banquet at which 1500 people 'participated. This was the final judging and the 21 contestant group was reduced to five. The impromptu speech, the three day plowing 'competition plus her 15 4-H group projects and three home eoncomic courses all contributed to her award of a new car. Her responsibility during the next year will be promoting the forthcoming match to be held in Bruce. Over 4000 cups of Coffee were THE .SCHOOL PAGE Guest Editorial News And Views From Students At.
