Whose hand
' holds, the knife
that 'cuts the threads
Upon which you are strung?
Whose hand
severs the hand
that kills the life
When life was young?
This hand
holds you tight •
Between his fingers until .
One movement and you are gone.

The Students' Council had
planned a Winter Carnival for
Friday, January 21 but for some
reason, Mr. Phillips cancelled it
and after a recent full Council
meeting, it was decided to hold it,
if possible, on two days of
°shortened periods during the first
week of Febrnary.

At the last Council meeting the
class reps and executives
planned for a dance, hopefully on
the 18th of'ebruary with an area
band, Spott Farm. This band is
from Hanover -Walkerton area
and has played in this district
many times in the past year.
Rumours have it that they have
greatly improved over the sum-
mer.

Many of the 'legal adulti'
around the school should be
happy to find that the Manor
Hotel haspened the Candy Cane

really needs a nice place for
entertainment and a good time,
and it's all there.

•Many of,. ' the students will
remember this week a year ago.
The great blizzard of '71 had
settled in and so did the bus stu-
dents after their buses were
unable to make it home. Just in
case it happens again this year,
students are advised to bring
their toothbrushes and a clean
pair of socks to school with them.

Earlier in the year, the
Students' Council had planned
some bus trips for a weekend to
; the Science Centre in gpronto, a
hockey. game with the Maple
Leafs, or a few good concerts in
the cities but everyone agreed,
after discussion, -that it was too
difficult to ?arrange and too &-
pensive so the idea has been
dropped.

Mrs. Tiffin has made everyone
aware of the fact that Public
Speaking Contests are corning up
again. As always, she is trying to
recruit new members to repre-
sent Madill around the country.
Besides the personal gratitude
aspeet, if that doesn't appeal to
you, there are always the cash
prizes. We wish Mrs. Tiffin luck
and hope she comes up with some
winners.

Editorial
What Can Students' Council Do for You?
Or What Can the Students' Council Do?
Last year, in the infamous Perception
Bag, the editor ran the S.C. into the ground
because they werenj:doing anything but I
wonder if she ever stopped to think that it
didn't wield all the imagined power and
prestige to actually carry out their ideas and
dreams. Such is the case this year.
Anyone who has attended any of the
Council meetings knows that most of their
well-meaning, down-to-earth, even good
ideas that they started out with in the begin-
ning have been squashed by some Jaek-in-
the-Beanstalk giant who doesn't seem to like
the smell of the students.
Is there a good reason why' the V ter
Carni val. was cancelled after permissi, had
been given and arrangements made? Is
there a good reason why every dance is shot
down and raked over leaving all the hot
stories to be rekindled every time word .of
another dance comes up? Is there a good
reason why the Students' Council is given no
freedom of responsibility to work with at all?
If there are answers to these questions, we
would like to hear them straight. Not from
the S.C. reps who hear them from the Execu-

five whci hear them from staff adviser who is
sent out with the message from the great,
dark depths of a room few have dared to
enter.
If the Council is not allowed to organize
and carry out its own affairs for the enjoy-
ment and involvement of the students with-
out inspections, permissions, interruptions
and cancellations from the top, what then is
the purpose of having one? They might as
well resign rather than be puppets playing
for an audience of children.
And we are being treated like children.
For those in Grade 13, there are .people the
same age enjoying the responsibilities and
freedom Of college life. Actually being
treated as adults and not a bunch of prattling
little idiots who no one really cares about
just as long as they are getting a good educa-
• tion and in the best school around.
It's time that we were, treated as people
not as students; and since the S.C. is un-
fortunately our only contact with the al-
mighty non -student establishment (for lack
of a better word), Ws time they were treated
as the Organizing and uniting body that they
-should be. •
• Tirolian skiers
While many of the people of
Southern Ontario enjoyed an
almost green ..christmas here in
Canada, a group from this area
enjoyed their Christmas holiday
skiing down the snowy white
slopes of the Alps in AuStria.
The group included students.
and teachers from F. E. Madill
Secondary School along .with
attached adults and "' students
from surrounding areas.
We left Toronto 'with a group
called Ship's School on Wednes-
day, December 22, and flew to
New York. For many of us it was
our first' flight. At New York we
all waited for a few hours for our
flight to M.iin, Italyt, An our
'flight across the Atlantic we were
.aboard a huge Boeing 747 for
seven hours. On reaching Milan
we were bused to Innsbruck,
Austria by way of the Brenner'
Pass. Unfortunately on route
through the pass,. both times it
was at night so we were unable to
see the scenery.
• Mutters is a picturesque, little
Tirolian skiing • village located
near Innsbruck. It was here that
we got Our skiing instructions and,
did most of our skiing. For the.

from our group went to view the
International' -Ski Jumping in
Innsbruck on December 29. The
skiers were from many coun-
tries: France, Austria, Finland,
Sweden, Norway, Japan, Eng-
land, Russia and Canada. It was
a spectacular event to see.
Ship's. School organized a
Christmas Eve party, New
Year's.Eve party and a Tirolian
Evening. A Tirolian Evening is a
collection of the many Austrian
talents:- :dancing,i• ch 6243 and
yodelling. At these and many
other gathering's we met kids
from many places.
We very unwillingly departed
Saturday, January 1 by bus for
Milan airport, frOm., where we
journeyed to New York by Boeing
747 and then home to Canada,

WRESTLING
By John Deneau
Back from a crushing defeat by
Goderich 6243 two weeks ago,
Madill wrestlers won two meets
last week; one against Arthur
and the other against 1Clinton at
home.
Individual winners in Arthur
were Bob Heffer, Steve Caslick,
Bob Aniskwiez„ Sohn • Deneau,
Wayne Carter, Dave "Irishman"
Thomas and Dale Caskanette.
The final score of this meet was a
close 52-51,for Madill.
The following day saw another
Madill victory of 39-30 over Clin-
ton. Clinton's team suffered
heavily from a shortage of wrest -
The bragging husband was let-
ting everybody know that his wife
was so strong she could bend a
horseshoe with her bare hands.
"That ain't nothing to brag
about," said an annoyed farmer.
"My wife can tie up 20 miles of
telePhone wire with her chin."

lers and had to forfeit three
matches to us. Strangely, with so
many eligible boys walking the
halls of Madill, we are badly
short in the lighter weight divi-
sions of 89 lbs. and 97 lbs.
There exists an unfortunate
myth about amateur wrestling in
the minds of most adults and
many younger people. They.think
that a guy has to be big to do it.
Not so, for a wrestler is placed
into a category determined by his
weight. For example, a 110 lb.
boy ° would have an opponent
whose weight was no more than
its lbs.
As well, most people get the
image of television wrestling into
their minds. Amateur wrestling
carries with it no reputation of
fakery. It's the' quickest, tough-
est, most intelligence -required
sport going. And with all this, it's
good clean fun.
