But in a few minutes things are in reasonable order with some 1500 students and teachers in the one robm. The meeting is opened by the Lord's prayer and the list of regular an- nouncements. What follows can vary from the introduction of the football team to a sidt from the drama club. Occasionally, no one has anything planned and %Oen Mr. Wood has to dismiss us, a great groan of dismay rises from , the masses. Last year, an "Activities Com- mission" was created for the pur- pose of reviving interest in clubs. As a result, each club was re- quested to prepare a 10-15 minute presentation at a Monday morn- ing assembly.

The opportunites of the Monday Effective Speaking Club By Lois Fex This club was formerly called the Public Speaking Club but now more emphasis is placed on, in- formal communication.' The club meets every Wednesday in acti- vity period. The group is now concentrating on improving speech and is practising tongue— twisters. The next sesSion before Christmas is on impromptu speeches. This is aimed at getting the students to feel at ease while speaking. Next term concentrates on for- mal speeches for four contests coming up then. Wingham's branch of the Canadian Legion. sponsors junior and senior con- ests for secondary schools in which juniors are against juniors And seniors against seniors. The pri▪ zes are all worthwhile. Also they present a trophy for the win- ning school as well as individual trophies. The area's ,Lions clubs also sponsor an Effective Speak- ing Contest. They are anxious to , have more speakers from F. E. Madill S.S. and in this contest all ,contestants win money at a din- ner meeting. Boys and girls com- pete in separate contests and the winner's go on to compete in other Gr. IX Night zones. Prepared speeches and impromptu Are given. F. E. Ma- dill students have won consider- able amounts of money and school trophies in former years. An Oral Communication Festi- val is sponsored by the Ontario Public School Trustees Associa- tion and Ontario Hydro. This year changes have been made to fur- ther test contestants' ability to communicate. This year's con- tests consist of: 1. A reading of prose, poetry or drama (2 min- utes). 2. A prepared speech (3 to 5 minutes) 3. Questioning by judges (2 minutes). Rebekah and Oddfellow Lodges sponsor another contest every spring. Two junior speakers com- pete from every school in Huron County. These sponsors provide a tour of the United Nations for the winners. • It is hoped that in every Eng- lish class in F. E. Madill oral communications will be empha- sized so much that many more people will compete in these con- tests. Under the very capable leadership of Mrs. Tiffin, this club has much to offer to those who take advantage of its oppor- tunities. The Cholooders By Dianne Thomas am sure that many penpia think cheer- leading involves jutt standing up in front of everybody, yelling chants and leading the crovkls in cheers. Our ,cheerteaders have to get together at leasi tVvice a week for practices (lately It has been 5 o'clock practices, Mond,ay to Thurs- day).' At these practices, routines have to be thought up, taught and then practised. Every year (usually around Junta) there is a competition for cheerleaders to,competer against other cheerleaders, This year, how- ever, the competition will be held on Novem- ber 4: Tiko weeks after receiving this letter, in- forming them of the competition, the cheer- leaders of F EMSS had a routine practised well enough to perform) it in front of the judges. The next letter, which provlded rules for the competition was received a week be- fore the event. The new rules threW the whole routine out of proportion. They got busy and changed the routine to suit .the rules. Until the day of Noverriber 4th the cheer- leadets will be polishing up the routine. With perseverance, practise and lots of spirit they will win first. By Karen Galbraith and Joanne Thompson On October 20 a banquet was held for the grade nines and sen- ior volunteers. The purpose of this event was .to get, the grade nines acquainted with the senior students and vice versa. A = planned program was scheduled after the dinner which we think - everyone enjoyed.

Mills, the medical off- icer of health for Huron County, came to the school to introduce a film on drugs, called "At Your Doorstep", which was shown to the entire!..tradefit body Wednes- day afternotai In his introduction Dr. Mills reminded us of the in- creasing -problem (even on the "doorstep" of Wingham) and the tremendous need for parents and kids to have a general; batic knowledge on the subject. The entire film was a lecture given in 1971 by Art Linkletter., .who " has become a predopinant figure in the fight againTt drug iabuse.„With tears in his eyes he , -1oId howrbis entAr --career, hadi, been; altered sinceljsyoungest, daughter's "dreadful, dreadful accident" a few years ago. Since then he has travelled around the world, 'collecting information and has become in expert of the ex- perts. He thinks that the ,basic prob- lem stems from :a home where parents are trying to be "pals" and pot !`parents"! A lack Of love is definitely involvedhere, too, he thinks, and says that kids all across the west are turning to Jesus Christ and finding in Him the real love they have missed at home. When they give their heart and life to Christ they are miraculously changed and cured by Him in a way unequalled by psychology (he was at this point referring to the most serious stage of addiction, "mainliners". or "needle freaks" who inject the chemical directly into their veins.) Mr. Linkletter says that he has seen Clwist do Miracles which would match the miracle of Paul on the road to Damascus. Rehabilitation just isn't good enotIgh beea'use thatletettitting theindividual back to his original environment and his environ-. ment is one of the things that drove that individual to drugs. Those of us who don't take drugs shouldn't take an apolo- getic or defensive position with those who do, but ,a dcnninating offensive position which will give us a definite upper hand in the situation.
