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 V ! 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.

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. Big plans for Friday The Students' Councilreally came through for us this time *with their last big event before the new Council takes over.

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.

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.
