Where's our
school spirit?
This article comes from the
sidelines of a typical football
game of the season. The Mus-
tangs are up against a tough
team and they really need the
fans' support.
A Mustang player has broken
from the opponents, he dashes to
the goal -line. He makes it — and
the Mustangs have a touchdown!
A small, faint ripple of applause
comes from the few members of
the student body who bothered to

watch the game, The cheerlead-
ers jump and scream out their
cheers enthusiastically, but they
cannot hope to do the cheering of
the whole student body who
should be at the game shouting
encouragement to the team
players.
The football team is not the
only group which needs your sup-
port, there are a number of
others as well: basketball teams,
volleyball, cross country and I'm
sure even the participants of noon
hour intramurals could use a lift
to encourage them to play their
very best.
It is a great let down to train, to
practise long hours, and finally
make a really good play only to
have a very few supporters there
to applaud and let you know that
they do appreciate the effort you
have put forward. They should
show that they are proud of you
for working to improve the school
in the field of sports so other stu-
dents may be proud to say that
they are supporters of the F. E.
Madill Team of Winners!
So come on — get out and sup-
port our athletes and show a little
appreciation.

Just where are the young
people headed today? We are
counselled to stay in school be-
cause of the opportunities educa-
tion • provides. But where do we
go? Universities offer us a
number of degrees to follow our
name and a high paying job in
favorable conditions. The fist
handicap for some is marls.
Standards for entry into universi-
ties are quite high. If your
parents are rich, that is great,
you have no worries about
money. Parents who are just
managing to get by can hardly
afford to send their son or daugh-
ter to university. When you are
accepted, stress from school and
parents, gets you feeling down
(not to mentionour money
Y
status). What do you have' when
you are through? Hopes of find-
ing a job!
Others who
wish to
continue
their education after highschool
in search of a good jobmay at-
tend community college. The
length. of time to complete the
course is about half as long as
university, and, therefore, less
expensive. Acceptance is also a
problem. The same question
arises however, will there be a
job available?
After getting all kinds of educa-
tion the biggest worry is finding a
job. Employers are always ask-

Where is the average student
headed? Is his best choice to drop
out at the age of 16 and work in
a factory? The men on construc-

wages with very little education.
Most of the time it's "who you

The young student doesn't know
in which direction to head.

Senior Girls'
Basketball
The fifth game of the senior
girls' basketball team was held at
F. E. Madill against Listowel on
October 18.
The Madill team led in the
scoring until after the third
quarter mark when Listowel
began to move. The final score
was an unfortunate 31 to 27 for
Listowel. •
Kathy Cruickshank led the
Madill scoring but everyone on
the team contributed to make this
a very exciting game.

Jr. Football
It was chilly out on the Wing -
ham football field on Thursday,
October 13 but this didn't affect
the players' performances or the
crowd in attendance. The spec-
tators consisted of Madill stu-
dents and staff who, at 3:30 came
out to view the game already in
progress. The cheerleaders were
out in full swing too, with a con-
sgint chorus of cheers to urge on
our junior football team who
were playing against Stratford
Central. The honorable op-
ponents had the record •of no
games lost this season and also
no score against them in four
games. But the Mighty Mustangs
went out and creased their
reputation in ending the game
with the score 20-6 for Stratford
Central. That's not that bad and it
could be that the Mustangs are on
their way upwards through the
ranks of junior football.
Grant Gnay, in keeping with his
past performance, gained 72
yards and caught a 15 yard touch-
down pass from Peter Goodall.
Kevin Wamsley made a
"superb" play and as a result
was named player cf the game.
There were also another 55 yards
gained in the air. These players
and all the test of the team fought
hard to make this a better -played
game. We fans won't disappoint
the players either and we'll be out
full force, sacrificing the last
activity period of the week to see
Norwell vsf,Madill here. The date
of this approaching game is
Thursday, October 20 and watch
out Norwell, because we plan to
be the best team in the land!

Science trip
On Friday, October 1.3, about 35
grade "thirfeeners" went down
to Waterlo4� to explore UW (or
Octoberfest9. They were free to
go into any classes and take part
in them if they wished. Some
attended lectures on physics and
biology, chemistry on astronomy.
They got a tour of the chemistry
building and saw different types
of equipment. Everyone thought
it was worth their while. (Joanne
got to see some monkeys). I'd
heard Mr. Mali was trying to get
rid of some of his Chemistry stu-
dents, but to take off for F. E. and
leave some down there . . . !
Grade twelves: look out next
year!

Student Council
Well, October has been a busy
month in the school and there's
more to come thanks to the Stu-
dent Council.
Grade 9 Night was held Friday,
October 14 and was a huge suc-
cess with about 160 grade niners
and about '60 other helpers at-
tending. It's too bad there
couldn't have been a 100 per cent
turnout but thanks goes out to
those who did attend and helped
make it a success. The' action
started at 3:30, with games in
gym 228, there were productions
given by the Cheerleaders, 'the
Drama Club and Lucknow Band.
Dinner was served at 6:00 in the
cafeteria and after dinner there
was dancinguntil
10:00. Mike
Milosevic and Brian Reid pro-
vided disc jockey services and
even had strobe lights, which
were very effective, for the dance
floor.
Next on the agenda is Purple
and White Day which is on Thurs-
day, October 27. There are Junior
Boys' Football and Girls' Basket-
ball games here and there will be
short periods so that everybody
cano watch atch the games. But,
don't
go directly
to games es be
-
cause there will be a Pep Rally in
gym 228 at 2:30 so that will be the
place to be. There will be a prize
awarded to the homeroom with
the most people in purple and
white.
Friday, October 28 is a date to
mark on• your calenders, also.
That night there is a dance to
"Major Hoople's Boarding
House". They have played here
before and were a huge success.
Tickets will be on sale in the cafe-
teria that week so hurry and buy
one. It's going to be a great night.
So remember the date; Friday,
October 28. F. E. Madill is the
place to be.
And last but not least — in
November, the "Milk Spotters"
will be in' the cafeteria on both
lunch hours. November will be
the month for milk at F. E. Madill
S.S. So get out there and "drink
milk".
Well, this just about covers
Student Council activities for
awhile. There are lots of events
planned, so to make them a
success — GET INVOLVED!

Teacher Interview
-MRS. HOPPER
Near the north end of the main
hall, you 2This
homeroomfind of a member of thethe
staff of F. E. Madill, namely one
Mrs. Hopper. Mrs. Hopper
teaches grade nine French, and
grade ten English.
Mrs. Hopper is a native of the
continent down under, that is
Australia. She was born, and
grew up in Melbourne, then went ,
to the University of Melbourne.
Mrs. Hopper's first teaching
position was hereroom at14. Madill.is She
came to Canada because she
wanted to travel, to Europe es-
pecially. Canada was a stopping
ground. However, while she was
here, she married a Wingham
man, and she stayed. Mrs. Hop-
per started teaching here in 1970.
She has been married five years,
and has a nine-month old daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Hopper says that she en-
joys teaching, and she likes the
students. She also feels that at F.
E. Madill the teacher and student
can create a good relationship.
However, Mrs. Hopper feels that
there are times when there are
things that the student should be
responsible for, and not the
teacher. Other than this, she is'
happy with the running of the
school.
As for pastimes, Mrs. Hopper
enjoys sports, especially tennis,
jogging and cross country skiing.
She enjoys taking care of her
child.
Mrs. Hopper lives in Wingham,
near the school. She is glad that
she came to Wingham, because it
has a good school, and is a good
town. However, she says, she
would sometime like to go back to
Australia to live, because no one
of her own' family is in Canada.
Also the winter seems to be much
colder now.. When she came to
Canada, she found it easy to ad-
just, but there were enough dif-
ferences between Australia ands_
Canada to make Canada interest-
ing.
So now you know a bit more
about the teacher at the end of the
main hall in room 214.
