Grade 8 night Last week, on the evening of Monday, May 27 the school- played choolplayed host to approximately 6Q0 guests. Some of these visitors were grade students from our school's region who will be at- tending F. E. Madill in Sep- tember. The students were ac- companied by their parents and everyone was here to find out just a little bit more about our school. The Student Council and the Guidance office organized the event. At' 8:00 p:1n. the students and their parents gathered to- gether in gym 228 to hear some remarks from our administrative staff. At about 8:20 p.m. the students left 228 and proceeded to gym 254. . While in gym 254 the students were greeted by the president and vice president of the Student Council, Jim Welwood and Mary MacKinnon. Rick Currah por- trayed the 'lighter side of high school life to the students by relating some of his humorous stories. , The students were then divided into tour groups and were led through the corridors to meet some of the teachers from all departments and to familiarize themselves with our courses and facilities. The parents were invited to go on a similar tour or were given the opportunity to take some time to see the school on their own. At 9:20 the students met once again to observe a display of various clubs in our school. The displays were ingenious and colourful and hopefully inspired interest in the grade eights to come out and join at lest one after -class activity. Everyone met in the cafeteria at 9:30 for a lunch of chocolate milk, coffee and cookies. At 10:00 p.m. the last of the guests were leaving and we felt a ,sense of accomplishment. Thank you to the 55 guides and helpers and to the staff members for making Grade 8 Night a success. —Jim Welwood Editor's message This is Jest a short message to tall those involved in ~therpro- duction of "The Madill Mirror". Working on a paper is a great experience. It's certainly not without its difficulties, but in the long run, it is a . thrilling' and enlightening experience. How- ever, the greater part of the "Madill Mirror staff was com- prised of final and next -to -final year students, so here's hoping that the school page will be carried on. And so with the finality of this school year; thank you to the people who read the Madill Mirror", who offered their services and who contributed to the page. —Mary Lynn Ste Marie FIELD TRIP The students of Biology 551 took a short field, trip on Friday, May 31st. They walked . around the smoking area yard and- bank of the school by the gulley, identi- fying the various types of. trees. The highlight of the tour was the chestnut tree in front of CKNX. Thanksare extended to Mr. Gnay for organizing such an enjoyable period. —Karen Wilson Iround the world in 80 days Friday, May 24th, was a busy day for almost all grade 12 and 13 students. as they were hard at work transforming gym 254 into a,, world of foreign fantasy. The theme of this spring's formal was "Around the World in 80 Days". Such countries as Spain, France, England, Hawaii and Holland were represented as well as Niagara Falls. Each scene ap- peared quite realistic and .pro- . vided each couple with the chance to see the "sights of the world".. Although most couples will agree that the end was very entertaining, some felt that it was not suited to the stereotype idea of a "formal band". The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the school queen, Karen Galbraith, followed by her dance with the leader, John Elliott. Appreciation was shown ° to Louise Proctor, the organizer, by the presentation of a bouquet of red roses.
