Spending math class
flying at 50,000 feet
15Y MIKE VESSEY
It was a beautiful summer morning as I
climbed into my F-20 Tigershark. As I put
my flaps up and my fan-jet on full, I
wondered what might be in store for me up
there.
After I had taken off, I increased my
altitude to 50,000 feet and went to top speed
(4,300 mph).
We had gotten a message on the radio that
foriegn aircraft had invaded U.S. airspace.
There were already four F -16's up there.
They had called for assistance. Me and my
wing man were it! When we got there we
found six Mig 28's and apparently two of the
F -16's had already been shot down, so that
made it four to six. The odds weren't on our
side but we couldn't back out now.
As I got in a good position right -behind a
Mia to fire, I saw another one on my tail. I
Quickly inverted and jammed my stick for-
ward, causing me to do a downward half -
loop and end up going right -side up in the op-
posite direction about 75 feet lower.
The Mig flew by and I turned around to
help my wing man who had a Mig on his tail.
I got missile lock on the. Mig and fired. A
direct hit! That made it four to five. As I
looked ahead of me I saw a Mig on the tail of
one of the F -16's but my wing man shot a
hole in his tank with machine-guns and he
crashed to the ground. Then an F-16 kept
another Mig busy; I shot it out of the sky.
Then the other three Migs chickened out and
flew away. It was a good thing too, because I
was low on fuel. I had just enough to get
home.
Then all of a sudden, I heard a voice call-
ing me... "Mike are you awake?"
It was my teacher. I was day -dreaming!
Oh well, bacl to math.
Selecting high school courses
BY MRS. HELEN CROCKER
Grade nine course selection usually takes
place in December or January with the
assistance of two guidance counsellors from
Goderich District Collegiate Institute
(G.D.C.I. )
After consultation with parents/guar-
dians, students will hand in a working copy
of course selections to their home room
teachers for perusal. An information
meeting for grade eight parents and
students is usually held at Robertson to
discuss course selections.
G.D.C.I. also holds a similar inforrnation
meeting consisting of feeder schools to
discuss courses. With this process, parents
and students should be well informed as to
suitable courses for their child.
Following these meetings and teacher ap-
)roval of the working copy, a final copy will
)e completed and forwarded to G.D.C.I.
