Madill last week urged students to "Do It!". ` On blackboards, above doors, along the shop corridor, everyone read the message. There was one problem — no one knew what "it" was. And how can you "do it" if you don't know what you're supposed to do? At the Monday morning assembly last week the mystery AV was solved. The signs Sig stied; the beginning of our annual ;year- book sales campaign. •Po it! Buy your yearbook! Each student who buys a year- book receives a collar pin whic t proudly proclaims "I did it! ' Hopefully, in the next two weeks, 800 students will receive their pins. The support of the student body is needed if the yearbook Or '75-'76 is to be a success. The Yearbook Club has been meeting for three weeks now. R ill The Whitirphim r' Approximately 20 people will be working under theleadership of this..year's editor, Marilyn Con - gram. The Yearbook Club is one of the oldest clubs in the school. The members of this club all work hard to give the students of F. E. Madill a remembrance of the school year through class pic- tures, activities and sports write- ups, and those ever -popular candid photos! So support this club and buy a yearbook.

They represented schools in Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich, Exeter and Wingham. The results of the junior games were: First match.: Seaforth, 15, Exeter 6; Seaforth 15, Exeter 3; second match, Madill 15, Exeter 10; Madill 15, Exeter 9; third match, Seaforth 15, Clinton 5; Seaforth 15, Clinton 3; fourth match, Clinton 16, Goderich 14; Clinton 15, Goderich 9; fifth! match, Madill defeated Goderich in two games, 16-14 and 15-3, and lost one game 4-15, , The members of the Madill team are: Doug Gamble, Dave Bennett, Brian Cooper Jim Blackwell, Darrell Anderson, Jeff Dickson, Andy Heim, Dwight Adams, Bill Ohm, Steven McKay, Bruce Stainton, Ken Tervit, Currie Simpson and Paul McKinnon. f, The second league volleyball tournament was held at Clinton on October 1. • Wingham players won both the first and second matches, defeating Seaforth 15-5 in two games and beating Clinton 15-7 and 15-5. They lost one game to Clinton 12-15. Wingham is now in first place standing in -• , the league. The games were close, but Madill managed to come up on top. Outstanding players were Jim Blackwell with eight serves in one game and David Bennett with six serves in another game. The team will sadly miss Brian Cooper who will not be with the team for the rest of the season. • —Jeff Dickson BASKETBALL The girls' basketball teams travelled to Seaforth on Oct. 2. The seniors had an exciting game; it was probably the most exciting ever played in Seaforth. Madill had a 6 point lead at the end of the first quarter but as Mime wore -on Seaforth started .catching up: -At the end of regula- tion time the Score was tied at 20- 20. In the overtime period, Ruth Henderson scored - the winning basket, on a foul shot. Final score, Madill 25, Seaforth 22. The junior girls also played in Seaforth the same day. The game was tied 18-18 after the' third period 'of play. During the, final quarter Madill pulled away and won the game 32-18. FOOTBALL On October 2 the football teams travelled to Goderich and returned with the following results:, The seniors after the first half had limited Goderich to a net 28 yards. Meanwhile, the offense picked up 48 yards. The score at the end of half time was Goderich 7, Madill 0. The second half only saw Goderich on the scoreboard. The final score was Goderich 42, Madill 0. Although the Madill team lost the game, however, it sure didn't lose in the trenches. Not in many a year has a Senior Mustang team handled Goderich so physically. Now all that is left is to beat them on the scoreboard. In the junior game, the defense played an excellent ggoe but the offense just couldn't c pitalize on the advantage. One of the high- lights of the game from our stand point was Glenn Jeffrey taking a hand-off from the Goderich quarterback. Key 'defensive players were Jeffrey, Whitfield, Armstrong and Hamilton. All of these players picked off intercep- tions. Goderich came gut on the winning end, with the score 14-0 for Goderich. BOYS' VOLLEYBALL The junior volleyball team is how number one in the Huron League. The boys travelled to Clinton Oct. 1 for a tournament. In the first match they defeated the previously undefeated Seaforth 15-5, in two games. Against Central Huron, they won the first gpme 15-7, lost the second 12-15 and won the deciding game 15-5. On the sane day the Senior Volleyball team also travelled to Clinton but didn't win' either of their matches against Clinton or Goderich FIRST SCHOOL DANCE, Friday.

Because of our present youth we feel immune to growing old, which also makes us invincable -to the problems which becoming an adult brings. We are young and carefree and inquisitive, We hate to be classified, because it took those many years of child- hood to finally gain recognition and become an individual. "To each his own", the saying goes and when has that been more appropriate than now, in this age of high life, fashion and food? We seek our individuality in various ways, ranging from the hippie movement to the book- worm. It doesn't matter how we' obtain it as long as everyone realizes we exist and that we do so upon our own -actions and train of thought.

The Student Council has been hard at work on the budgets sub- mitted by the various clubs,nd they probably don't like it Any more than you do.–Most class representatives don't like it, either. It's a tedious but necessary job — deciding whether the Film Club should get so much film, the Chess Club that number of chess sets, or the Audio Club its requested tapes. It's something that has to be done. But as a four -time loser at this r business, I think I can safely say that gveryone will be glad when it's over and done with. --Gordon Wray Student Interviews QUESTION : What did you think of "Purple -and -White Day?" 0-0-0 Maurice Miltenburg, 9H: "It was O.K." 0-0-0 Bonnie Casemore, 1011: "It,was pretty good." 0-0-0 (:ord Ruff, 11H: "It was better than last time. - 0 -0-0 Susan Adams, 12A: "It was very good.

We should demand less packaging- and more. returnable packages, not pack- ages ackages that offer us individually wrapped slices, aerosols for easy application, and _ no -return convenience. Part of the rising costs of products lies in the area of extensive packaging. Returnable pop bottles are a good example. The retailler pays less for returnables than he does for non-returnables, so the con- sumer should realize the savings also.

We owe it to ourselves and our countryside. Club of the Week This week lett us take a look at_ the Yearbook Club which has been around F. E. Madill for a long time. We don't have to worry about our high school having a good yearbook, because this year there are 25 good workers under the leadership of Editor Marilyn Congram and her assistant, Sandra Finlay. Marilyn and Sandra have both said they have a good start this year and hope to keep the enthusiasm up through- out the rest of the year. For the information of all: the club meetings are held every Tuesday at 3:24 p.m. in room 219, the yearbook room. And an added bit of information: the club has enlisted a new company, "The National School Services", to publish this year's book. This is just an example of the research and behind -the -scenes work that goes into every year's efforts. Yearbooks will go on sale in the main hall this week. As the signs say: "Do It!" Buy a yearbook. The club has received addi- tional funds this year which helps in the budgeting, but they need your support, too. Former Madill students can tell you how nice it is to be able to look 10 years back and see how funny everyone looked or the ridiculous cheer- leaders' uniforms worn then. It is also nice to remember, through pictures, the different club meet- ings you attended and enjoyed. So this year we look forward to a great yearbook as forecast by Mary Anne Alton.
