Heavy work, pushing and pulling the heavy sled, freezing tem- peratures and skimpy rations took their toll. Evans suffered from severe frostbite on his hands and face; Oates was•having trouble with his fi. Only the will to live kept them going. By mid February they were half way down the Beardmore glacier. Evans,his arms and legs almost use. less from frostbite, straggled far be- hind his companions. On February 17, he sank into a coma and died •Without regaining consciousness. his body wait left beside a huge outcrop- ping of rock to mark his final resting place. The rest struggled on. Oates, fa- tigued and frostbitten, was relieved of hauling. In the following weeks his. right leg swelled and turned black with gangrene, but he gamely kept on. Finally, to relieve the pressure of his swollen foot, he slit his boot. They were now well out on the Ice Barrier and the weather grew worse; the tem- perature hovering around minus forty degrees. On March 17 the four men lay in their sleeping bags unable to travel because of a blizzard. Oates, tortured by the pain in his leg and the knowledge that he was a burden to his companions, got out of his bag and limped to the door of the .tent. `"I'm „going outside and may be some time." He walked out into the blizzard and was never seen again. March 17 was Oates', birthday. Ile was thirty-two years old. Two days after Oates walked out into the blizzard Scott, Wilson and Bowers made camp 11 miles from Onr. Ton Depot. They had barel two days food lass and almost nofu-. ' One Ton was the largest and most substantial depot along the route. There would be plenty of food and fuel and a relief party would un- doubtedly be there. waiting. for them. Last Wednesday was Profes- sional Development Day for teachers and principals in Huron County. It gave them an oppor- tunity to observe other programs and teaching methods used else- where in the province. For many, it made for quite a long day with a trip to London or . Toronto. A good day's work, but for the rest of las, a long-awaited holiday. 0-0--(, We're back on regular periods once again.

S -P -I -R-I- T, let's hear it Last Saturday, November 4, the cheerleaders went to Sbuth Huron High School for a cheer- leading .competition. As soon as we got there our spirits dropped because all the other schools had a lot of spectators. Northwestern in particular had two bus loads. The cheerleaders would like to thank our six spectators for their. support. k° There were five schools in the competition. After the judges had left the room to pick the winner, all the cheerleaders from each school went and sat down in the middle of.the gym. We yelled and cheered until the judges came to . tell us their decision. Northwestern was first. This was the School that our junior football team played against in the finals. Next spring, there will be another competition and we really hope to. win. We'll dos our very best and try to get first.

Tiris is the last year the government is going to give cash awards to On- tario Scholars. Next year you can receive the honors but not the cash. d MOM Perhaps the highlight of the en- . tire evening came when Norman Ball of Ripley, the valedictorian who attained 90.7 percent (Gary Barbour was next with 87 per- cent) gave his address. Norman lost many hours of .sleep the night before over his ,speech but didd',t come up with anything, so :he had to "fake it" afi he said. He spoke on his appreciation for school friendships which are so import- ant, He suggested voting for the valedictorian next year instead' of going by marks alone. He said hat high marks alone, although he `liked them", didn't necessar- ilyprove an all-around good stu- dent. Sports and other extra -cur- ricular activities were also im- portant. He pointed out the fact that teachers are human beings' and that the sooner studentk. realized that the better. Good Ceremonyfor staff -board relationships were also encouraged.
