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 MijSIC LESSONS Pa, 9 Stevenson's Huron Music Studios are ,ccepting registrations on Guitar and Accordian.

Chris 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. —Janet McNee 10F 1974 CHEV HALF TON V8 stick shift, safety checked, 34,000 mi. Lic.

WINGHAM 357-2323 GM MARK OF EaCEUENCF mirror "Sony Mrs. Tiffin I folded my homework into a paper airplane and it was hijacked to Cuba." rant editorial J 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- TWO SAVINN BONDS A GREAT CHOICE This year. (>an:atia Savings Kinds other you a great choice. There's a nett . ReguL r Interest Bond that pats uurrest each year.

If you have that, they want ex- perience. How do you obtain experience if nobody hires you to get it? 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- tion receive extremely high wages with very little education. Most of the time it's "who you know", not "what you know". The young student doesn't know in which direction to head. Without post -secondary educa- tion the chances of getting a job diminish quickly.Students are going to college to be policemen, secretaries and even farmers. (The farmers get a laugh out of that!) The day may come when college won't good enough. ugh.It will be necessary to attend uni- versity then some'g thin will be invented for studies after that. What can be done to stop it?

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. Marilynne Maclntyre 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! —Dianne McBride 1OF 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! —Janice Guest 13A 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! —Karen'Tilson 12F The Wingham Advance -Times ctober 26, 1977—Page 5 IN ACTION—The senior girls basketball team is caught in action while in the foreground, the cheerleaders do their bit to lead their school team on to victory.

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. —Steven Johann ARE YOU- HOAODING?
