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.
