Dear John, D would like to take up some of our space in expressing my per- sonal views on a recent happen- ing. The event I am referring to is the little known fact that Mr. Webster, "Chief Chaperone Or- ganizer", and generally a 'work- horse' for our Students' Council in the hast three years, will no longer be helping us. Three years ago a new hard- and-fast ruling from the top, con- cerning the mandatory presence of chaperones for a dance to be held, created the need for a mem- ber of the staff to head up this far - from -prestigious position. No one volunteered, but Mr. Webster, in an effort to -help the students so we could have dances, stepped up. In those three years we have never had a dance cancellation. Other schools have. Ask their council presidents what a con- tract for a $600- band and no audience means to their budget. The position filled by Mr. Webster is not an easy one. Some students put him down as being unfair at the door. Other teachers raise just as much controvery in their staff room about "those two who started the fight'," or "the one with the two twenty-sixers", even though those few . represent one- tenth of a percentage of the kids at a dance. This makes it tough for the person trying to enlist Ciin't be beaten! On Tuesday, October 31, the Junior Football Mustangs played the Goderich Junior Vikings in a Huron -Perth conference semi- final game. The Mustangs scored an impressive 30-0 victory over the Goderich team. There were five touchdowns and the first one was scored • by Murray Arm-. strong who scored on a four -yard run. Stuart Mann performed spectacularly as he ran 40 yards down the field to get the second touchdown. Ian Montgomery ;gave a similarperformanee as he powered his way up the middle for 40 yards to score the next touchdown. Lloyd .Vallance, a corner linebacker, intercepted a Goderich pass and raced for 35 yards to score. 'Keith Raymond scored the.last-touchdown. Again the defense played a stalwart 'team defence that over- whelmed the Goderich 'offense. The "student support was greatly appreciated. --Doug Thomson 13C We did if! We kept trying and we finally did it. On Friday, October 27, the girls' basketball teams played St. Marys at home. The. Seniors broke their losing record with a 25-23 victory. They played a terrific game. Madill led through most of the game except in the last three minutes of play when St. Mary,s tied us. This added to the, excitement of the game. A couple of quick baskets put us in the lead again to go on to win the game. The Juniors didn't have the luck that the Seniors had Friday afternoon. At the end of the first half the score was 10-7 in St. Marys' favor. The girls only got one more basket in the third quarter. As Miss Ridout put it, "It was a disaster." The final score was 31-9 for St. Marys. 7 -Barb Stanley people for chaperoning and Mr. Webster was the person sand- wiched in the middle. Both you and I, John, realize the difficulty in getting some people to. help out with our ac- tivities for job`. that are interest- ing. Imagine the level- of diplo- macy involved in getting people out to help with the unpleasant job of policing a dance! Put yourself in his position. Think about it. It won't take you long before you'll join with me in saying, "Thanks, Mr. Webster, for giving us a helping hand!" Dave Frank, Pres. Students' Council 72-73 F.E.M.S.S. Chess club The Chess Club is led by Mr. Wraith and meets every Tuesday in Activity Period. If you like the game or want to learn it you can just join right in but there is also a contest, the "triangle" which is divided into rows or levels from which you climb with each game you win. Both girl and boy parti- cipants are accepted, so go on in and have a game! --Lois Fex Sinka it! 'Intramural basketball is going strong right now in our school. Girls on the school team ' can not play but if they referee the games they can get points to- wards't eir big `M'. ThereIare Jive players or else there is a default. All the players that have signed up for the game must play. All players must accept the referee's decision. The game goes until the bell rings and if there is a tie a new game is played.

Ian Montgomery opened the.. scoring in the first quarter with ai touchdown on an 80 -yard off= tackle run and Bruce Dickert added the convert on n, , pass. Dickert. then ran a reverse around the left end to score Wing- ham's second touchdown and Rene Caskanette gotthe convert on another pass from Keith Ray- mond. In the second quarter Stewart Mann scored on a 10 - yard end run and added his own two-point convert on the identical play. At halftime, Wingham led 24-0. FE.MSg:400. ., Murray Armstrong ran for a touchdown in the third quarter on a 55 -yard gallop up the middle and_ Keith Raymond ran around the right end for the convert. On the last play of the game, David Crowe ran a reverse for ten yards to finish the scoring. Full credit for this win must be given to both the offensive team for its good hard blocking, and the defensive team for its good „ pursuit and gang tackling. This game was the last of the season for the Juniors, a Season in which they had ten wins, no de- feats or ties, scored 240 points and gave up eight points. • Be the Best Dressed Guy at Christmas See our wide selection of SUITS - SLACBS - JACKETS - SOCKS - TIES - SHIRTS - ETC. - READMAN CLEANERS AND MEN'S WEAR 318 JOSEPHINE - WINGHAM Interviewers Janet Haines Janette Hogan Mary Lynn Ste.

It's great. 0-0-0 Sparky Hamilton 13A: They haven't scored enough points against the other teams. It makes the offense look bad because the defence is holding the opposition to small yardage. 0-0-0 Phylis Schneider 10M: They're TERRIFIC! 0 0 0 Lynn Lamont 9F: It's GREAT! 0 0 0 Marlene McGee IOF: I think the junior football team players are smart and they can't be beat- en either. 0-0-0 Siglinde Duridg 11C: I think they're great and I hope they keep up the good work. • Last week's schedule was a rather hectic one. We had short periods three of the five days. We would. like to express our ap- preciation to the administration for being so good about letting us out for the two big Junior games. 0-0-0 Commencement is this Friday at the school. It will be good to see all the graduates back at Madill.

MARIE This year most: high school students all across Ontario found themselves thrust into a new situation. The credit System came down upon us. With the credit system came individual time -tables and a general chaos and monotony. For starting my *third year, I was quite un- sure of myself. I could not check with my neigh- bour, to make sure that I was heading for the right class and the right room. I just took my chances. Somehow, my time -table didn't seem to help. I think that Iwas too worried to even look at it. But having become adjusted, I, myself, think that the credit system is. a good thing; If you know exactly what your profession in life will be, the credit system puts you at an advantage. The subjects definitely needed in further studies, can be taken in secondary school, thus providing you with the credits of prerequisite courses. If you are unsure of your future, a general course may be taken. - The daily time -table "is" monotonous but due to the consideration of our principal, we have had chan9es. Morning classes were exchanged with afternoon classes. Also, seeing different people in different classes prevents a further monotony. . • Although this system is a new and challeng- ing experience, I am sure that, with time,, all stu- dents will grow ,to like it. c' Everyone prss.ut? On the 25th of October and the 1st and 2nd of November, the Stu- dents' Council and class reps got together for a meeting. In these council meetings we have mainly discussed the budg- eting of club expenses. If you happen to want to shake one of the many hands that were pre- sent, please be careful, the mer- chandise erchandise might fall off. We had to motion each budget, second it, and then, raise your hand to—All in favor? (or, all not in favor). This procedure was followed by each person roughly 17 times with more to come. Some arms already didn't make it. The Students' Council have really great ideas to pull out of their hats. All that we have to do is co-operate, put these ideas to work and enjoy them. If you don't succeed the first,time, try, try, again. If you don't like something that the school is doing, come out and YELL at the Students' Coun- cil or to your class representa- tive. They will •be more than happy to listen to your problems and they might do something about it. '� the show on the road. Don't slack off and relax, do something about it. The Students' Council needs you .to make this a smashing year, one that you will never for- get. Let's carve something out of this year. —Daphne Nabrotzki, 10H Once again The girls' basketball teams were host to Seaforth on Thurs- day, hursday, November 2. The Juniors led for most of their game and fin- ished on top with a 28-14 victory over Seaforth. The Seniors didn't have the luck they had the last game. The score was very close with only a few points separating the two teams. In the third quarter Sea - forth seemed to pull ahead with the final score being 33-21 in their favor. —Barb Stanley IF I WERE A TEACHER If I was in the teacher's place, F. E.

Also, there •will be the customary Re- membrance Day service for the school on Friday afternoon. First and Second lunch girls' softball winners were called up and acknowledged, as well as the Junior football team and those receiving scholarship bars and crests. Are the Kids Really to Blame? We read in the paper, we hear on the air Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere; We sigh and we say, as we notice the trend, , This young generation. . where will it end? But can we be sure it's their fault alone? Too much money to spend; too much idle time; Too many movies of passion and . crime; Too.many books not fit to be read 'Too much evil in what they hear . said; Too many kids encouraged to roam; Too many parents who don't stay at home. Youth doesn't make the movies; they don't make the books; That paint the gay pictures of • gangsters and crooks. They don't make the liquor, they don't rtin the bare; They don't make the laws and they don't make the cars. They don't make the drugs that idle the brain. It's all done by the older folks, greedy for gain. And how many cases, we find that it's true.. . The label, "Delinquency".:.fits older folks, too! Submitted by Susan Hayes.
