Many weeks of stren” • uous training precede the first important meet. Win'ghain's training prograrn got underway in the second week of school in September. For the first two weeks of the training program. the runner's endurance is devel- oped. This is achieved by run- ning long distances (up to seven oreight rhiles) at moderate speeds. - After the runner's endurance has been sufficiently developed, he must develop -speed. Several methods are used to achieve this factor. These methods in- clude, interval running, hill work, fartlek ( Fartlek is a Swed- ish word for speed play) and actual competition.

' Let's hope that Wingham can rhake this their victory banquet. If the Wingharn teams are successful at the Huron -Perth meet, they•will advance to the W. O. S. S. A. meet (Western Ontario) at Woodstock on Oc- tober ,2 6. Then on November 2 at Woodbridge the 0. F, S. - A. (all Ontario) meet will be • held. • From this .sketchir outline, we can see what the sport is basicly like., Now let's see what the individual runners and Mr. Stuckey have to say about - it. When asked for his impress- ioni on such .things as team spirit, Wingpam's chances in the upcorning meets and the coach, John Haasnbot a veteran cross,country runner, said that -• he felt thattearn-spirit was at anall-timehigh and Wingham's chances looked very good. He • also added that he felt that the coach should run. Paul Moffat, • one of the top midget runners. also felt thatyingham's chances ° were good. - However, Ken Mathers' only coni was higleputipose Was tedeveldp his beautiful l - egs! . ut Bmost imll portant of a were Mr. Stuckey's comments. He agreed with the team mem- bers that team spirit was never better.. He also -commented that the runners' times for given distances were much better , than ever before. He felt that the reason for this is that many of the team members have been participating in cross-country for several years now. He felt thatthe midgets have an ex- cellent chance for success in both the Huron -Perth and W. O- S. S. A. meets although W.O. - S. S. A. will be very tough. Al so he felt that the seniors had (I equally good chances. He ex- pressed his pleasure with the senior team members' partici- pation since in most eases sen ior students tend to shrug off cross-country. However, he felt that his junior division needed a bit more work to bring them up to .se isemessiost - . Miss. Cora Gannett is an old hand at pre.. paring meals for hundreds of people each • • clayShe has .been on the cafetefia staff since it was -00ened ir 1954 The new cafeteria opened last week. Four lines are being handled on each of two par. But with this work, their ,chanCes of success will also be excellent. In conclusion, he stated that blng a coach df a' high schoCil cross-country team wasa peculiar position. Un- like the professional coach' who • has each player signed on a contract, he cannot force'them to produce. The effort =St be voluntary on the pars of the J4(4041141 rugner-;, The coach . must know his team members welisoIs to, be able to use the best method of encouragement for each member.' • From these facts, I think that we can see that a lot of voluntary work is being done on behalf of both the team mem- bers and the coach. So in con- clusion I feel that these people are worthy of all the support that the student body And gen- eral public can give them.
