There was a school dance
,held front nine to one at F. E. `
Madill last Friday. "nixie'
goes Hollywood" . supplied
the music, which was en-
joyed by all.
There was a basketball
tournament at F. E. Madill
on Friday and Saturday, the
second and third of October.
Several teams from other
schools competed.
Last Thuusday,:lthe first of
October, F. E. Madill hosted
a volleyball tournament. The
students were let out early to
cheer on their team.
There has been a contest
running in the school both
this week and last week to
name- our new school mas-
cot. He is spirited, fiery and
should have a name with the
same' qualities. The entries
will be judged and our mas-
cot will be named on Friday,
the second of October.
On. October 2, Some Madill
students went to Silver Lake
to spend the weekend at an
ISCF kick-off weekend. ISCE
will be holding several
events through the year to
get kids together and have
fun while they share their
Christian beliefs.

Stacking lockers, the fav-
orite sport of the elder, and
younger students of our be-
loved F. E. Madill Secondary
School.
For those of you un-
acquainted with the term,
stacking lockers is the art of
opening another person's
locker, piling the books and
tests in such a manner that
the opener is caught in a cas-
cade of falling literature.
Many a senior student has
perfected the art of finding
other's lock combination an
putting the books up in.such
a way that they will fall out.
After the locker is stacked
and the victim has opened it;
the next phase of the oper-
- ation-ispswitehing4he-blame;
commonly called "passing
the buck". Passing the buck
is done as quickly as possible
to put the anti -stacker
searcher off the track.
In retaliation against fur-
ther attacks, the victim
quickly but quietly 'goes to
the office and switches locks.
This usually throws most
stackers off balance, but the
steadfast find the combina-
tion and it starts all over
again.
Such is F. E. Madill's fav-
orite sport.

VVhat cto I
write about?
Again I sit in my favorite
chair in the library. A thin
trickle of sweat rolls across
my brow. I look nervously at
my watch. The deadline ap-
proaches with each tick of
my timepiece. "What to
write? What to write?" I
think frantically.
Then! A stab on light sears
into my mind. A story at last.
I think quickly and with my
vast amount of writing ex-
perience the story begins to
take shape on my paper. My.
pencil smokes and flares
sparks as it flies across the
paper. Soon the!story is com-
plete and as I race through
the library door I throw my
smoking pencil into the trash
and I manage to hand my ar-
ticle in just in time. •
You have just read what.
happens to this writer all too
Often, but; who cares?. I'm
' used to it and besides I write
better under pressure. •

Now, to begin a soon-to-be
continuing .saga about two
families: the'Peevishvilles
and the Rottingdales. These
two families are about to
start a drama that is bound
to become a startling shock-
ing dynasty. This dynasty is
centred around the modestly
small yet dynamic little high
school, of F. E. Madill, in a
distinguished little town
called Wingham in, 'a re-
markably united little prov-
ince of Ontario, in the
Dominion of Canada.
Our story starts at the be-
ginning, which is a good
place to start, where we find
Petty Peevishville sitting in
her bedroom on the night be-
fore her very first day of
high school.
"Mother!" Petty screams
at the top of her lungs.
"Where's that new dress. I
bought for school tomorrow?
Did you get it. pressed? Did
you buy me new nylons and
where's my purse: aid ...?"
Petty is dressed' in night-.
gown, housecoat and slip-
pers and begins to descend
the stairs. She has short
blond hair and remarkably
dark eyes that are deeply in
contrast with her fair. com-
plexion. She has a model
figure that she has found
does not make it easy to
make friends with other
gh°B•
As she stops at the bottom
of the stairway, Petty finds
her mother and -father seated
before the fireplace on the
couch. Her mother is an
older and more mature copy
of her daughter except she
has light blue eyes which
oorfibine more readily with
her fair complexion. Her
father has rugged features
with-dark-eyesand-.a.darker
complexion than his wife and
daughter. As Petty walks
over to the big fluffy chair,
her parents stop what they
are doing and watch as she
flops down into the comfort-
able seat.
"Oh, mother, I feel sick! I
don't think I'll be well
enough to go to school to-
morrow," Petty says.
Petty's another, Matilda,
looks at Petty's father, Ted,
with a knowing look.
"Well, that's really too
bad, because 1 thought you
were waiting so anxiously
