CHRIS GIBSON,threw the javelin 25.74 metres for personal best and a new school record, placing fourth in Midget girls' competition at WOSSA and advancing to the OFSAA-West regional meet at Chatham. , ••� Student question This week's student, ques- tion is related to our school formal which was Saturday, May 26. I asked two ques- tions, one for girls, one for guys. Here's the girls' question: "Do you feel that you could ask a guy to the formal?" Cindy Stute, 9E, was the first girl off the day to an- swer. "Sure, why not? I did!" I'm happy to hear that finally! "Sure, why not? Because of Women's Lib we gotta stick up for our rights some- how." Lori Appleby 9F. Karen Knight, 10D, and Tara Parker, 10E, both agreed, "No, it would seem too much like school friends, and boys should ask the girls." F `Depends on how well I know him." Bonnie Perry 11E. "Yes, I certainly would, in fact, I already have." Anita Damsma 12B. "Andrea Coultes, 13A, said "Yes, if it's your formal and you want to invite a guy from a different area, you'd have to ask him." Here it is, the guys' ques- tion: "What would your re- action be if a girl asked you to the formal?" AndyNethery, 9D, said "If I was asked, I'd say I'll think about it." "I'd be too embarassed to go." Jeff Roetcisoender 10E. Dean Golley, 11C, said "If she was good-looking I might go with her." "If she was nice, I'd say yes." Terry Schiestel 12F. "I'd say yes, because she had guts enough to ask me." Jeff Moore 13B. So the guys had better get used to all these "women's libbers" out there. But ac- tually I think that the major- ity of the male population at our school would be flattered to be asked to the formal.

Lawrence Wilson finally cleared the 12 -metre mark, jumping a personal best of 12.63 m to capture a respect- able sixth place in Senior boys' triple jump, Terry Rin- toul, also competing in the same event, jumped 12.3 m to a seventh place finish. June Stamper placed seventh in Senior girls' shot- put, with a put of 9.02 m. Chris Gibson threw her javelin 25.74 m for a personal best and a new school rec- ord, to place fourth in Midget girls' competition. Chris is advancing to the OFSAA- West regional meet in Chatham and we wish her the best of luck there. On the track, Trudy Kor- ten ran a a personal best of 28.37 seconds in the Senior girls' heats. Trudy placed ninth in a very strong field of runners. Madill's relay teams were plagued by bad exchanges, resulting in poor placings. Despite this, the Junior girls' team, with the addition of Cathy Marks replacing an injured Brenda Davies, broke the school record which it set last week. The girls' time of 54.1 seconds just missed giving them a birth in the finals by 0.3 sec- onds, giving the girls a seventh place finish. Doug Wood, . led the way for Madill. In his first year of Senior competition, Doug jumped 4.35 m to beat the old record of 4.27 set in 1975. He then leaped 4.5 m, a personal best, WOSSA ,record and school record. Congratula- tions Doug. We all wish you the best of luck at the OF - SAA -West track and field meet. In day two of competition at the WOSSA track and field meet, Madill's athletes fair- ed well. To start the day off right, Madill won its second first place in pole vaulting. Craig Oatman and Sandy Mc- Donald placed first and sec- ond in Midget boys' pole vault , respectively. Sandy, competing with a pulled leg muscle, jumped 2.89 m. Craig, equaled his personal hest jump of 3.5 m. In Midget girls' competi- tion, Chris Gibson threw the discus 25.44 m to a fifth place finish. Lori Appleby placed fifth in Midget girls' shot - Put with a put of 8.95 m. Carol Blackwell jumped um ed p 4.94 m to a third-place finish in Junior girls' long jump. Helen Morrison, compe- ting in Senior girls' javelin, placed fifth with a throw of 31.84 m. Doug Wood and Lawrence Wilson competed in Senior boys' long jump. Doug leap- ed 6.10 m to a fourth -place finish. Lawrence was right on Doug's heels, jumping 6.03 m to a fifth -place finish. Steve McKague jumped higher than the rest of the field again, leaping 1.81 m for another first place in the Midget boys' high jump. All of Madill's athletes competed very well, result- ing in Madill's best overall result in WOSSA competi- tion. The Midget boys came Madill artists take top prizes The artwork of F.E. Madill Art Students, as well as stu- dent artwork from other Huron County. Secondary Schools, is currently on exhi- bit at The Livery in Goderich. This show of county high school art was judged using five categories. Our students did very well, capturing the first -place finishes for three Of five categories and also a third-place finish. The students who won from our school are: Suzanne Alton of 12A, who won two first prizesfor her huge `;drip painting" and for her "Timberwolves"; In my opinion Joanne Willie of 12H, who won a first prize for her scratchboard entitled "Por- trait of a Man", and Veronica Bakelaar of 10A, who, took a third place prize for her oil painting of a baby raccoon. Beside ribbons, these stu- dents will be awarded mer- chandise prizes donated by the merchants of Goderich. Overall, F. E. Madill did not capture themost prizes. However our students can be very proud of winning the most top place finishes of any school in Huron County. Congratulations girls! D. Wood Don't forget the fireworks • Victoria Day, 1984. It's the reason we get that long weekend in May. Remem- ber? Apparently not: It seems Victoria Day has been renamed May 24, (With the emphasis on 24), and the gallant Queen long forgotten. Fireworks no longer fill the sky, which -is a great disap- pointment for me. I remember ending the weekend at a local park, gaz- ing into the sky at a colorful delight. This year I could not find a show within a 40 -mile radius. Maybe our generation feels no tie to Queen Victor- ia; that's understandable. To most people the weekend stands for the official open- ing of summer. After suffer- ing through a long winter, a weekend camping, away from indoors, is needed. So, if you like, forget Vic- toria, rename the weekend, but please don't forget the fireworks. They set the ima- gination free to dream about the months to come. In my opinion, the beginning of summer should be celetfrat- ed with the excitement of fireworks. A. Petten BUILDING BRIDGES -Jason, a bright and alert little ,fellow who lacks the use of his legs, clearly enjoyed the interest shown by Vicki Payne, one of the volunteers at Wingham's Silver Circle Nursery School. One of nearly a dozen children enrolled at the school, Jason was this year's Timmy for the Bluewater Shrine Club, very close to winning the team title, losing by one point to London Lucas. This year's athletes have already expressed that they want to win one or two division titles next year. We wish all competitors going to the OFSAA-West re- gional meet in Chatham, the best of luck. Next year we hope Madill will have an even stronger track and field team. We can only do this with willing ath- letes' support, so come out for next year's team and be a winner. Senior athletes are eligible to compete for the All -On- tario Championships in Chatham this week. Mike Cameron STEVE McKAGUE brought Madill a first -place finish at the recent WOSSA track and field meet at Tillsonburg, with a winning leap of 1.81 metres in the Midget boys' high jump. Earlier Steve set a Huron -Perth record in the event. si at the Wingham Public School Editors: Jason Ducharme Kevin Smith The drama club has been working vigorously to finish up the play it has been working on for weeks. After the members finish this play, it will be performed to a Grade 6, 7 and 8 audience. This half-hour play deals with problems that face a young girl named Amy. The Grade 7s in the school are overflowing with ex- citement. In less than a week they will be traveling to Quebec and Ottawa. The bus leaves June 3.at about 7 a.m.. It won't be an ordinary school bus, but it will' be a classy 47 -seater highway nti` coach. In Quebec aOttawa the students will be, , seeing the Plains of Abraham, the changing of the guard, they will go swimming in the luxurious Olympic -size pool and they will eat at a fancy restaurant. These adventures are just a few highlights of the trip. I didn't include shopping on Sparks Street or guided tours. I'm sure all the Grade 7s (including me) will have a fabulous time in Quebec and Ottawa: -Ria Linardatos Barry McArthur, Kevin Scott and Billy Zimmerman all went to Vanastra to compete in a special -event swimming race. All three swam their hardest and fastest and they should be commended for their ex- cellent job. Well Done! More exciting news is that Barry McArthur qualifies for the provincials in Barrie June 15 to 17. This ,is a real honor. Marlene Taylor, a former student. of this school, came to Golden Circle for four weeks during April and May to act as a teacher's aid. The students enjoyed the time when Marlene was here and now miss her. An upcoming event that everyone is looking forward to is the field meet June 5. They all have been training hard and should make a good showing. -Nikki Reavie Tests are soon coming in history, geography and science and will be the final major tests of the year. Did you know that our class, along with Mr. Lisle's class, is planning a trip to Fort George in the Niagara Falls area. In science we are on the subject of eclipses and we are about to face a solar eclipse shortly. We are getting glasses with which to watch the eclipse. -Kim Martin Last week the Kin- dergarten children went for a tour in Mr. Lewis' green- house to see the petunias, marigolds, geraniums and many other flowers. Mr. Lewis showed us how he heats the greenhouse in winter and keeps it cool in summer. He showed us how to water the plants and encouraged us to be good gardeners at home. -Sheryl Hanula Mrs. Lewis presently is teaching in place of Mrs. Kaufman. The students wrote get -well cards to Mrs. Kaufman and hope she gets better soon. They planted beans and some of them are already growing. Peter Shaw has completed his second bookworm. It means that he has read 21 books! Congratulations Peter ! -Tracey Thynne Mrs. Philips sent each Grade 1 child a post card from Bonaire. She also sent unusual square nickels. School time • in Bonaire is very different from, ours. In Bonaire the children go to school .at 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is .because it gets so hot in the afternoon there. -Allan Baillie. Oh Yuk!! Term tests are here once again. So far we've had French, mathematics and geography. We are due for a history test anytime this week. We also . have started new novels. The Grade 8s have started new books as well. Grade 7 now is doing a unit in geography on mining in the Canadian Shield. -Kira Stuckey A concert was held at the high school the afternoon of May 16. The following schools attended and took part in this performance: Wingham Public, Sacred Heart, Turnberry and F. E. Madill. Mrs: Martin's class did some great square dancing related to the way the pioneers danced. The proper dress was part of the performance. -Lynne Braun Students attend science fair at ' Goderich Students Tammy Storm of Turnberry Central School and Shawn Currie of Robertson Memorial Schocil, Goderich, together with teachers Allan Harrison of Turnberry and Dave Medd of East Wawanosh, returned recently from attending the Canada -Wide Science Fair held in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Tammy and Shawn had won the right to represent the Huron County Board of Education, and their projects were judged very; highly at Halifax. During the week, the students toured the Citadel, the Halifax Imperial Oil plant and visited Peggy's Cove. They also attended seminars and participated in a variety of track and field events, science olympics and social functions. The highlight of the trip was a two-hour guided boat tour of the Halifax harbor. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Medd also attended a number of meetings and seminars. ( MANY WAYS- TO SAVE YOUR ONE M.
