Charity
A charitable spirit is essential
to happy living. There is so much
of weakness, waywardness and
wickedness in human nature,
that a person who cannot condone
offenses and make allowances for
disagreeable things, is kept in a
perpetual worry, Charity inclines
people to think favorably of
others, in spite of their faults.
Charity is a handmaid of faith
and hope and it Is greater than
either because it fosters both.
The purest heart has no nobler
trait than that of charity, and the
poorest heart may gain nothing
better than a measure of this
noble grace.
Charity is never partial unless
duty requires it. It is sym-
pathetic, and would blas every-
body if it could.
Charity WOW,;at lime. First
of all, it rocks the cradle of in-
fancy at the domestic fireside
and it keeps right on doing loving
work until it learns how to smooth
the pillow of age and relieve sore
distresses and troubles in all
homes and in all lands.
Charity is simply another name
for love and love is a power which
awakens all the harmonies of the
soul.
Charity will never fail!
Eloquence may die out.
Prophecies may cease. Woridly
wisdom} may vanish. But charity
will suffer long, and yet, will still
be kind, until the feet of men
tread the shores of time no
longer.

Work (xperi.euce
Lit week, a number of higher
grades, commercial and techni-
cal studentswent through one
week of job experience.
These students at an earlier
date, went out to seek the consent
of a one-week work experience
contract with any employer in-
volved in the commercial or
techn,cal subject they are taking
this year. Upon their acceptance
by an employer, the students
spent one week in actual work
conditions, noting the type of
work_ they could experience when
they get a job. Over the week
period, the students are not paid
but despite this, observe and
learn a great amount about the
type of work done by their em-
ployer.
The students weld .ilk..
thank these area :bps
who have helped and eve

during their work e .
week. All students have U
doubtedly found the event ver,r
rewarding.

Mrs. Munro, graduate of
Wingham and District High
School, was most sincere in her
recollections of life as a young
girl in Winghatn. She explained
how she used real experiences,
either her own or those related to
her by friends, as background for
some of her short stories and
shared a few of these anecodtea
with her audience.
Her warm and frank responses
only added to the Interesting and
informative discussion.

Editorial
In the last edition of the school
page, an article pertaining to the
student council elections stated
the importance of having suf-
ficient nominations for a com-
plete student council. The article
called upon the students to parti-
cipate in the nominations and to
insure themselves of totally -
elected council (not one in which
positions are attained by ac-
clamation.)
The students have apparently
acted quite admirably The

syrup makers
BELMORE — The fifth meet-
ing of the Belmore Maple Syrup,
Club was held on April 9. The
meeting was opened with the 4-H
Pledge.
New models of evaporators
were discussed. They discussed
what model they would set up for,
the Festival and the model was a
sugar kettle boiling. The mem-
bers' samples of syrup were
handed in for marking. It was
then decided to sell maple syrup -
covered popcorn at the Festival.
At the Festival, the grand
champion for his maple syrup
was Bob Inglis with 83 points out
of a possible 100 points. The sale
of popcorn was a great success.

WROXETER — Susan Adams

Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Brown
told the girls how to alter pat-

straighten material.
The members then voted on
their September project, the
majority in favor of "Let's Bake
Bread".
The next meeting of the club
will be held in the Wroxeter Com-
munity Hall on April 17.

notable achievement since last
year there were only two nomina-

very remarkable advancement.
elections
Even thastgh, council
are of prime concern to thestu-
dent body, they alone do not
deserve the full attention of the
students every year.I would like
to speak about another part of the
school which requires the student
body's attention and support.
This year, reports indicate that
there has been a significant
decline in the number of students
participating in, activities, clubs
and on the school teams. The'
most evident result of this has
been the failure of the school's
athletic teams to capture league
championships. There have been
some trophies and pennants but
not like former years. I can recall
years when the Mustangs were
close contenders for almost every

But sports are not d1e`pnly ones
suffering from apathy. Earlier
this year, while sales pitches
were encouraging us to buy -more
year books, actual sales
remained well under the "break-
even" mark. Extended sales
pulled total sales close to the
profit line but to my knowledge, it
never. -exceeded that goal. So,
compared, to last year's produc-
tion profit, this year's loss in-
dicated that recession had
arrived with a steep decline in a`
sales and profit, as it has done in
the case of the year book.
Although the apparent reces-
sion within the school does not
have the social impact a
depressing economy has, this
lack of interest in school ac-
tivities can spell tragedy for
many students. If participation
decreases greatly, some clubs,
activities and sports may with-
draw completely. Their downfall
will evidently be bad news to
those who are anxious to get in-
volved and make their high
school years a meaningful and
memorable experience. One does
not only benefit from the experi-
ence obtained by his participa-
tion but the progress- and
achievements obtained will prove
to be personally rewarding and
instill self-confidence in the in-
dividual.
In conclusion, I hope that those
groups in the school faced with a
deficiency of participants, may
improve their condition and that
next year's student body will
participate to a much greater
extent than any other year.
