E. Ma- dill for an exciting soccer game. The juniors played a very good game experiencing their first win with a score of 1-0. Doug McCall scored the winning goal. On Monday, May 16, the Madill Mustangs travelled to Seaforth. The juniors played a good game, coming away with a 2-1 win. Madill scored first on a goal by Steve Davidson, setting the pace of the game. Seaforth returned late in the first half with a goal. In the second half the Madill ju- niors dominated play, keeping the ball in the Seaforth end. They had many good scoring oppor- tunities but found difficulties finding the net. It was not until late in the half that Doug McCall scored Madill's second goal. The win can also be credited to some great goal tending by Steve Burke. Congratulations to these boys for two very successful games. Good luck in the future and keep up the good work! The senior soccer team record- ed their first win against Exeter by defeating them 1-0. The gpal was a good four man passing play involving Dale Whitfield, Keith Metzzer, David Golley and Jeff Dickson, Jeff Dickson was the goal scorer. Actually the team played one of its poorer games even though they won. The most recent game, Mon- day, May 16, saw the Mustangs triumph for the second time de- feating a rough Seaforth team. The score this time was 2-0. The goals were scored by Jeff Dick- son on an indirect kick from David Golley ; and by David Gol- ley on a three man break. In this game the team showed very good ball control limiting the shots on our own net to three. Many op- portunitiea were missed. The next game will be against Goderich on our home field. To date the junior Mustangs have two wins, one tie and a loss. Good luck with the game on Fri- day!

We have grown into young men and women who have altered so vast- ly since 1972. In my scrapbook there are pic- tures of my first prom, sports events, 'go Mustangs go" rib- bons, friends, marriage an- nouncements, and death notices, and I realize just how much time has gone by. High school was a very confus- ing time — perhaps because we are teenagers who are searching, wavering. There was so much competition all the way from love ' affairs, to clothes, to marks. There was jealousy, envy, hurt and fear. andlove. Often it seemed like a tolerance test to see just hOw=far you could be pushed; as if the entire educa- tional system was trying to des- troy you, but just when you were ready to give up a little. glimmer of gratification came to help you through another day. There was always that stage of 'no one understands me' and the coinciding feeling of alienation. You gave up for awhile, declined opportunities, lashed out at ally - one handy, and then sat down to think. Usually the answer was simple. We didn't even realize the complexities of our own selves, so how could it be possible for any- one else -to. Cliques were hard to handle. You wanted in, but there were pressures and responsibilities, so you stayed out. Then you felt re- jected and ugly, so you wanted to join. But you couldn't tell which ones were the artificial smiles, so you remained outside. It was always frightening that neither staff nor students would be able to recognize you as any- thing but one of the mainstream which flowed regularly, 9 a.m. to 3:24 p.m. five days a week. You were afraid you would have no face or name — only a mark, either you passed or you didn't. It really wasn't that way though. Teachers were not simply talkng marble -monuments. Some really did treat you with individuai'con- cern. And the other kids — they were searching too. There were so many influenc- ing personalities and. morals that it was hard to realize if you, in fact, were really being you, or -0 just playing a game, best side to the camera and all that. Were you only showing others' what they expected and were willing to accept. It was kind of like cleaning out the "old middle drawer". You weren't sure what to save and what to throw away. But now it's on to the future. We will probably continue to gossip about that guy we were in grade twelve with, save beer caps that say, 'Smile pa,ss it on,' dream about cheering the mnstangs, op„ to victory in the freezing ram, and sentimentally laughabout the good times in high school. The textbooks helped — but we gotso much more. —Joan Leishman, Editor. The last one, ever! I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I should write. Joan sug- gested last week that t,his edition of the Madill Mirror be the last one for this school year. Exams are coming up and many of our staff are pressed for time. I just realized that this will be my last article that I Write for the School Page, ever. I'm going to college next year and I'll never return to THE AUDIO VISUAL CLUB had seven really enthusiastic members this year. They are back: left, Derick Vanderclipp, Paul Drennan, Mr. Wraith (staff advisor) and Mike Milosevic; front: left, Brian Reid, Doug Kuyvenhoven, Tim Morrison and Paul Dickson. Madill as a student again. Mind you my mind might wander back on occasion but basically this is it. It is with some regret that I write this article yet I feel that its time I handed the job over to someone else. I found that like anything else in life if you de- voted some time into it you gain- ed 'a valuable experience. I hope that whoever takes the job of edi- tornext year can da half the job that Joan did this year. It is very frustrating when students don't hand in their articles in time, I've been: guilty of that myself. Writing for the "Page" has helped me to.develop my writing skills which some people might say are very limited. Regardless of whether I am destined to be- come a writer or not I have been able to voice my opinions on hot issues around and about the school through the "Page". This time of the year is very trying for students. The sun is bright but some ofour spirits are not when we think about the up- coming exams. There are only fourteendays left until school is out so hang in thke everybody. During the summer some of us will he working, others will be travelling „and some of us will stay at home. Whatever you do, make good use of every minute of the holiday. Come hack to school, college or university in the fall refreshed and relaxed Be An- xious to learn again.! As a retiring co-editor of the Madill Mirror I'd like to wish every student at Madill good luck for the future and "Que, sera, sera Mary Anne Alton, Co -Editor.

If you have, here's the answer; it's the Audio Club! This club has been established for a number of years, and it is a • very necessary facet of school life. As well as playing music during the day, this group helps with setting up the PA system for Monday morning and special as- semblies, and they help with other duties such as lighting for drama presentations. The only prerequisite for membership is that one must have taken or be taking electronics. This year's Audio Club, with, Mr. Wraith as staff advisor, has been quite active, eyen though they have had a'relatively small membership of about ten. Doug Kuyvenhoven is the president, and Pete Doll is the secretary of this club, Throughout the year, they have bought several pieces of equipment, and they hope to purchase a new sound system for the lounge next year. This is not just another club, as you can see. It is a group without which we would be at a disadvan- tage. So, the next tiine you hear a voice coming over the micro- phone loud and clear on a Mon- day morning, be glad the mem- bers of the Audio Club care about their school! —Mary Eadie It's been great! During the last two years of editing the school page I have learned so many things. I have learned the meaning and neces- sity of punctuality, trust, toler- ance, and satisfaction. There have been days when I felt like dropping everything and finding a quiet place to cry and times when I felt like giving everyone a great big hug. ' There is an endless list of peo- ple to thank for their contribu- tions. Mr. Damsma, our staff ad- visor, has done an admirable job; know it hasn't been easy. The local papers have been kind in printing our material, and the school page members have been the greatest both years. If the school page has been a valuable addition to the papers, and I feel it has, then every mem- ber should feel an inner satisfac- tion for a job well done. Next year I hope Madill will have an editor who feels the school page is im- portant and very worthwhile just as I did, and a staff comparable to this year's. Thanks to everyone who has helped; it's been great. The Essence of a Yearbook I . have been asked to write something about the makings of a yearbook. At .first I thought that this was the opportunity of a life- time to air the grievances of an embittered editor. I think I pic- tured my words as verbal as- saults on an apathetic student body who found it endlessly easy to sit back and criticize, but who wouldn't get off their butts and –lend a hand. Those are the first things 1 thought of, but they were, small and petty and moreover, they were wrong. My term as yearbook editor was no picnic. It couldn't be; 'the task is too demanding. From be- fore school starts in September, a yearbook editor has more tasks than a person can reasonably hope to do, and reasonably or not, she or he must do them. The theme and design of the book Must be planned before a pencil is lifted or a ruler aligned. Then the editor (plus the invaluable as- sistants). must see that the whole school -wide community is can- vassed for, advertisements. The formations of the yearbook club is no easy task, nor is the promo- tion and selling of the yearbooks themselves. The plan for each in- dividual page must be prepared. The writing that appears on each page must be typed. The pictures for each page must be gathered, placed, sized and marked. The material that is to appear must be selected and prepared. Layouts must be drawn. Team and club pictures must be sche- duled, taken, developed and pre- pared. Then there are the endless teachers and students who must be reckoned with as well as the yearbook company represent- atives who are inevitably out of touch with what the editor is try- ing fo do. It sounds in lookng backwards, like an awesome task — too diverse in its demands to ever be fully described But there is an element which entered into the whole business from the moment I took the job, and the effects of which I can still feel . • All the way through I And what I didn't expect to see — found a willingness to help. The room full of people who turned out to join the club, and the ma- jority of them who stuck it out were really encouraging: The help of my friends and acquaint- ances, and their interest and con- cern in the whole thing was more in evidence than I could have be- lieved possible. I was astonished to find that people would help out so much, if you only asked them. —Joan ‘.\ • Both teachers and students were understanding and helpful. Al- though at times it seemed that only .a small handful off us cared, over and over again we found others whose help in one way or another was really needed and readily given. This job was the hardest one I ever did. I got a lot of headaches out of it. But Ialso got a lot of satisfaction, a lot of learning and a deep sense of the goodness and kindness that is hiding in the least expected parts of people's souls. The yearbook should be arriv- ing in about three weeks. I'm sure there'll by many justified gripes and complaints about it. But I hope that each student and teacher will appreciate the time, the effort and the overpowering generosity on the part of many that made it as good as it is. Im- perfect it may be, but it is a monument to the school spirit which exists hidden, among us. I hope next year's editor, Patti Stewart, can find the same sup- port and the same enjoyment. She is well-equipped to handle the ,job, and I wish her good luck. Congratulations I am pleased to respond to the request from the School Page editors for some remarks in the last issue for this school year. I would like to congratulate the staff of the School Page for the excellent job they have done over the year in keeping the school's busy activities reported. Another year has slipped by and soon there will be another groOof young people graduating from our school. The time of high unemployment will be a difficult one for graduating students and for students seeking summer jobs. I am confident that students from F. E. Madill have the qualities and preparationneces- sary to make them competitive on the job market. It is always interesting to watch the change in students from grade 9 to graduation. Each year we see people leave and ask ourselves who can be found to fill the vacancies left by so many good people, but each year it is reassuring to see other students step in to accept the challenge. In closing let me thank, on be-, half of Mr. Rittir and myself, the students and staff for an excel- lent school year and to wish the best for all in the future. K. Wood , MRS. G. W. TIFFIN, head to persuade Mr. Morrison Health clinic of the English department, tries to say cheese'. Throughout the year, several F. E. Madill students have bene- fited greatly from the opportuni- ty to attend bi-Monthly health clinics in our school. These cli- nics, sponsored by the Huron County Health Unit, have been held on the third Wednesday , afternoon of every 'second month, with appointments available at the guidance office. The most re- cent was held on Wednesday, May 18. Offered by this clinic are vision, hearing, and fluoride tests, as well as blood testing for students in their final years. Health counselling -is also avail- able. There is a nurse present from the Family Planning Divi- sion, so this clinic is an excellent opportunity for students with any health problems. There has been much interest shown this year by students at our school. This clinic has often proved beneficial, as several vi- sion and hearing problems have been discovered. We should be grateful that we have the oppor- tunity to attend this clinic, and continue to show our interest by supporting it! Madill gains prov. recognition in math contest The results of the Annual High School Mathematics Contest which was written on March 8, 1977, show that F. E. Madill See'7 ondary School placed ninth in On- tario. This contest is written by senior students selected because of their excellence in mathe- matics. The team score consists of the total of the top three scores. The students whose marks made up the Madill score are Tamara Hayes, Stan Loree and John Day. There were 331 schools in Ontario writing the contest. Tamara fi- nished eighth in the province and Stan was in 49th position provin- cially. Because of these results, Tamara and Stan were invited to write the Canadian Matherrlatics Olympicid which is a contest written by approximately 200 stu- dents selected from across Can- ada.
