Crush adill Editorial® irror A drop in the bucket Across the nation, parents classic, we read about little have said they want an end boys who kill each other and to the violence to which they turn to an animalistic society feel TV subjects their chil- dren. Have these parents ever opened an English text- book? Often they can be as violent and as unnecessarily graphic as the television we watch. The Grade 9 curriculum is "started off" by studying Greek myths. Odysseus must fight many bloody battles to survive his voyage ' home from the Trojan War. In Grade 10 we study Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. It is notorious for its reference to the "pound of flesh". By far the most violent books are found in the Grade 11 course. Othello violently strangles his wife in an in- sanely jealous rage. In Lord of the Flies, a modern those blueberries! For the first time in 11 years, Madill's Junior foot- ball team conquered the Vikings from GDCI. This win, along with all the others this season, enabled our team to finish in first place. The team had no losses and only..one tied game. This being the case, our semi- final game was played against the fourth -placed team, yes, our tried and true enemies, the Vikings! Before the game, which was held last . Thursday, a rousing assembly was held by the Student • Council to cheer our team on to victory. An early funeral was given to the "Blueberries" directed by Student Council President Helen Maclntyre, with members of the LATRINES FOR LESOTHO The 36 -household village of Ha • Motsehi has completed its new water system, financed by local con- tributions. Villagersare directing their efforts toward raising funds to pay for the installation of latrines in a concerted effort to improve sanitation in the village.

The team was then intro- duced by the coaches, Mr. Lane and Mr. MacLennan.

And then, at 2 p.m., the game began. With hundreds of fans cheeringthem on in the torrential .downpour, the Mustangs had no trouble making "blueberry mush" beating the Vikings 15-6. Congratulations Mustangs! Their next, game, the final, will be held against Exeter. Go get them boys! SuzanneAlton HALLOWE'EN PARTY—The Wingham Cubs held their annual Hallowe'en party last Tuesday evening at the Wingham Public School. Costume prize winners were Todd Harrison, a Ninja: Marc Poulin, a reporter..and Danny McPherson, a Michael Jackson look-alike. when shipwrecked. We read about a futuristic society, in Fahrenheit 451 which burns books and murders the people who want to preserve the old way of life. Lastly, we read about one man hunting another for the sheer joy of a challenging kill, in the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game". I don't think these books should be removed from the English course. Each book has an important message and the teacher made sure we recognized it. The violence was an attention - getter ; it made the story more exciting. I think this applies to tele- vision also. If parents took the time to see the morals of television shows, which are usually over shadowed by the violent excitement of the climax, they would have less impact on/ impressionable young minds. Violence is a part of society and has been a part off every society in history. Remember the gladiators? Churchmen in medieval times were concerned there was too much violence in the plays of that time. In every form of media, newspapers, books, radio and magazines, violent happenings can be found. From the time a child can read, the stories are ac- cessible to them. Even nursery rhymes contain a fair share of fighting. TV violence is but a drop in the bucket. Censorship of one type of media cannot solve the problems inherited by our society. —A. Petten Madill advances to Huron -Perth final The Madill Mustangs ad- vanced to the football final for the first time in 12 years, by defeating their arch rivals ,from Goderich 15-6. Madill set the tempo of the game when Murray Nethery recovered a Goderich fumble on the second play after Bill Cameron had booted the opening kickoff for a single . point. Sandy MacDonald scored the only touchdown of the first half for Madill. Goderich scored in the second half, but Sandy put the game away with his second TD of the game. Dan - Gilchrist iced the game with a two-point convert. From then on the Mustang defense took over as Murray Pennington picked off a Goderich pass and Rob Weber blocked a punt. When the game ended the Madill fans . stormed the field. One of the keys to our victory was the noisy sup- port of the fans. We hope to see both students and adults out on Saturday, Nov. .10, when Madill hosts the Huron - Perth final. Once again, thank you for your help in sinking the Viking ship. —Murray Nethery 11E Help support cheerleaders Student Council is having a fall clean-up for our school cheerleaders.
