WISHES

H1ISTMS

Must
g matmen mauled by St. Marys
It was a badyfor the F.
E. Madill Mustangs right from
the word go as they fell to a
49-11 trouncing by an eager and
conditioned Sri Marys squad.
With only a week's preparation,
Wingham was lacking the con-
ditioning that St. Marys had.
After four minutes of each
round the Mustangs seemed ex-
hausted, something that more
practices and better condition-
ing will cure.
There were three winners.
Ray Cronin at 133 lbs. went the
full six minutes as he decesion-
ed his man 6-4. Doug Elliott-
at
lliott-at 180 lbs. also edged Keld Pet/
erson 3-1 after 6 minutes. Bryan
Forsyth at 191 lbs. , captain of

Meet Mr. Shore
Mr. Shore was born in Wind-
sor, Ontario, and later moved
to Hamilton where he received
his education. He took the
technical course in high school,
then entered industry in Hamil-
ton 'for 15 years as a machinist.
This is his first year of full-
time teaching.
As a person who has lived in
large cities and small rural
areas, he has mixed feelings
about his present location in
Wroxeter. He misses the serv-
ices of the city but , likes the
personal, friendly atmosphere
of a small community.
As forstudents, he sees little
difference between urban and
rural people or between students
of his and our generation. The
advice he gives to students is
to take full advantage of the
educational opportunities avail-
able to them.
Mr. Shore is a family man,
with three children, and an all-
purpose home handyrrian. He
enjoys football and religious
novels and is active in the
Christian Service Br4gadt$ for
boys. 'His special interest is'
the rifle range, which he is "
attempting to reorganize at the
school.
MR. ' SHORE
sincerely
, hope this
Christmas over-
flows with all the
good things, mak-
ing it very .special
for our good' friends.

Nancy Corrin and Bev MacDonald
the team, came up with the
only pin for W Ingham as, he.
wrapped up Roger Fayne in 34
seconds. Bryan used his famous
headlock from the up position,
one hold that you will see used
more often by Bryan., 9�
John Leich at 87 lbs. , Terry
Brooks at 145 lbs. and Niel
Gowing at 154 lost close de-
cisions 4-3, 5-4, 2 -0 -respec-
tively. They all went 6 min-
utes and put up good fights but
were edged out in the end.
Also Don Edgar, Graeme
Johnston, Dave Gibson, Andy
Rathbun; Doug Finlay, Elmer
McGuire and Dave McGlynn
put up a full effort but the ex-
tra experience and training put
the St. Marys men&on top.
Things hopefully will change
after Christmas so keep an eye
open for the wrestling news.

rnitted to wear slacks. A mov-
ie will be shown in the morning;

An exciting activity schedule
is planned for' the afternoon.
There will be a record hop in
one gym with a student -teacher
volleyball game in the other.
•A teacher tricycle race is, also
planned.- Providing that there
tis enough snow, there wi• 1
houseleague snow sculpturing
contest..
IIThe students are being sup-
plied with free tickets of 20¢
value to spend any time they
wish in the cafeteria, which

Jr. boys'
basketbaH
BY MIKE WHITE
Thursday afternoon Wing-
ham's junior boys basketball
team -played St. Marys basket-
ball team in what turned out
to be a most embarrassing and
morale crushing experience .
Wingham was beaten 59-30,
not so much due to St. Marys'
team, bus by the lack of shoot-
ing talent of our team.
However, the team is to be
congratulate&for their fine ef-
fort so fat this year. This is a
totally, new team from last
year and with more practices ,
will end up in playoff position
for Huron -Perth.
Brian Forsyth and George Valiance
Great mil!
Many thanks Ore extended
to the cafeteria staff for bright-
ening up the last week before..
holidays with their annual
Christmas dinner.
On Wednesday we were serv-
ed turkey, potatoes, turnips,.
and gravy, quite a pleasant
change. more students than,
usual purchased their .dinners
that day and because of this it
was necessary to begin the first
lunch hour ten minutes early in
order, to accommodate all the
students.
Mr. Madill, with his Christ-
mas .spirit, was in there pitch-
ing too. He helped to dish out
plates for a few minutes when
Mr. Lee found it ne4;essary to
busy himself elsewhere.

Sr. girls'
ba sketba 1
BY KATHERINE RENWICK
On W ednes lay ' December •
11, the senior.girls journeyed '
to Listowel for a return exhi-
bition game. Having defeated
Listowel in an earlier game we
went with high hopes of a vic-
tory. However, they had im-
proved their playing as much
as our team and we` settled for
an 11-11 tie. A shortage of
time ,prevented the breaking of
the tie, although if played, ,
I'm sure our team could have
conte through with a vin.
On Thursday, December 19,
St. Marys will visit Wingham.
This is the team to beat girls I
Let's show them how to play
'basketball.
BY JOAN ANN DICKSON
On Thursday, December 19,

first league game. Their sup-
porters cheere d, them on with
victory cries, but St. Marys
came through in the last 8
miniites with a few startling
baskets' 'arid wort 31-21.
It was a hard battle to lose
but the girls are ready for their
next game, which they intend
to win with their skill and •
your support.

Pherson 15 pts, Bonnie Willie
2 pts, Gertrude Van Beers 2
