Students take
place in
Probably one of the least
known activities of the students
of G.D.C.I. is the work ex-
perience week. Each fall and
spring senior students enrolled in
the technical programme are
excused from their regular class
routine to take their place in the
local work force. .These 'field
trips' last for one full working
week.
This week, 46 grade 12 students
who are enrolled in the four areas
of technical achievement,
woodworking, drafting,
automotive technology and
electrical technology, are now
experiencing the routine of daily
employment.,
The school /gratefurlly
acknowledges . the co-operation
from local merchants, dealers,
shops and industries. who take
time out from their busy
schedules to make this ex-
perience a meaningful one far the
students. '
This program gives the student,
an opportunity to escape the
somewhat artificial atmospheric'
of the school shop and see what
the real world is actually like.

por.tunity to assess in his own'

of the type of training which may
prove to he of value when and if
the time comes for , the
graduating student to take his
place in industry.

The citizens of Goderich should
he proud of the fact that they live
in acommunity where the spirit
of co-operation 'between the
board of education, the school
faculty and local businessmen is ' •
such that a program of this
nature is possible. .Healthy
growth of any community dep-
ends upon the co-operation and
participation of many groups.
Civic pride is engendered by
awareness of what is going on in
all areas of the community and
the work week integrates the
educational system With the
business section, youth with the
adult, and lays the foundation for
the future absorption of our
graduates' " into a healthy,
prosperous community.

14-0 but game
wasn't Viking best
by T.D.
The GDCI junior' Vikings won
their second straight Huron -
Perth Conference football game
here last Thursday by shutting
out F.E. Madill of,Wingham by a
14-0 count.
Mark Frayne went 10 yards off -
tackle to give the Vikings the lead
in the first quarter, capping off
runs of 30 yards and 10 yards on
two , previous plays by the big
Vika rfullback.
The other Viking touch down
came when flanker Dennis
Donnelly went 25 yards on a pass
and run play from quarterback
Dave MacKenzie in the third
quarter.
Eric Mitchell kicked both
converts successfully.
Another' if'rapparent Viking
touchdown oVi a 40y'rard run by
Tom O'Keeie'wk�s, called back on
a penalty inftactrian.
Although the Vikings were able
to put it together enough to,
score when the chances came,
and to stop the Wingham offence,
it was not a particularly im- .
pressiye game from the Viking's'
point of view,
Coach • Phil Bugler talked of
fundamental ,errors that forced
the Vikings into giving up,the ball
and losing good field position.
Not the least of the' Viking's
problems, however, seemed to,be
a certain amount of confusion as
to what players were on what
specialty teams and at what
positions,
The resulting confusion took
away from the cohesiveness of
the Viking's,tcam play at rimes,
Such are" the early -season
problems of junior football
coaches, '
Next start for the junior
Vikings is today CThursday' in
Stratford against- the Nor-
thwestern Huskies, when coach
Bugler and his assistant, Bil
Garrow, take their squad'i'n ues
• of their third straight victory.
