Band trip
For those Madill students who
were wandering the halls last
week wondering where some of
the more intelligent, talented, in-
dustrious students were — here is
the story. On Wednesday morn-
ing about 58 Lucknow Concert
Band members, of whom 20
double as Madill students, left on
a five-day bus tour heading for
Quebec City.
On Wednesday we played con-
certs in E. A. Orr Public School in
Oakville and one in Bala Street
School, Toronto, and then on to
Kingston for the night. Thursday
we played in Brockville at
Tonieta Public School and then on
to Ottawa to tour the city and
spend the night. Friday the band
played two concerts at Sir
Winston Churchill Public School
and then on to Trois Rivieres for
the night. On Saturday the band
marched in the Annual Lions'
Parade held in Quebec City and
then back to Kingston late that
night. On Sunday we headed for
home arriving in Lucknow just in
time for supper.
A very enjoyable and worth-
while experience was had by all
and one that will be long re-
membered for years to come! It
wasn't hard to pick out the band
members on Monday at school —
they were half -awake kids at
assembly and classes.
G. Wray does well
Every spring the Science
Department of this school has a
number of their brighter students
compete in contests for high
school students sponsored by
various organizations. These
contests are the C.Q.P. (Cana-
dian Association of Physicists)
Contest, the S.C.M. (Sir Isaac
Newton) Contest and the Chem 13
News Research Exam.
This year Gordon Wray, a
grade 13 student, did particularly
well in these contests. In the
Chem 13 he placed 72 and out of
over 5,000 students in all of On-
tario. In the S.I.N. he placed 21st
out of almost 4,000 students and in
the C.Q.P. he'placed 18th out of
almost 800. These results speak
for themselves.
Also doing well for the school
were Stewart Whitehead and Jim
Ritter in the C.Q.P. Contest,
Mark Tiffin, Bruce Jermyn,
Henry Olechowski and Jim Bitter
in the S.C.N. Contest and Mary
Ellen Havens and Paul Simpson
in the Chem 13. Congratulations
are due both to the winners and
an excellent science department.

The judges have finished judg-
ing the entries in the Creative
Writing Contest and the results
have been a-munce'd. First in the
short story division was Vicki
McKague with her story entitled
"Saving the Engineers of the

written by Judy Nicholson.
"They've Got a Lot to Give" was
a first pHze for Use Gunby in the
essay division. These articles will
appear in a Creative Writing
Booklet to be published later this
year. Congratulations to the win-
ners.

Contemplations
The other day I had to go to the
office during ninth period. I walk-
ed through the balcony of the old
gym just after the bell had rung.
Class had begun.
I stood perfectly still for a
moment. Not a sound could be
heard. There was silence. Yet be-
hind the thick walls of the gym,I
realized there was a transfer of
knowledge taking place. There
was Miss Hancock and her Grade
10 science class, Mr. Brewster
and his Grade 9 Geography class,
Mr. Hawkin's Grade 13 math
class, Mr. Damsma's English
class, Mr. Gnay's Grade 13 bi-
ology class and Mr. Anderson's
Grade 11 study in the cafeteria.
The different teachers were try-
ing to explain different subjects
and the students were trying to
understand. Though we don't al-
ways realize it, we learn some-
thing new every day. By ninth
period some of the students (who
had stayed up all night studying
for one of Mr. Hawkin's tricky
math tests) would be nodding
their heads from time to time.
But I'm sure the teachers would
understand. On Fridays the clock
watchers are constantly glancing
at the time. This could be the last
period of 1969 or 1976, since it has
always been the same. The
peacefulness I felt around me
was passing as 3:24 drew closer. I
felt a chill which brought me to
my senses and I walked on
through. The .only sound to be
heard was that of my footsteps.
They were deafening in such
silence.
As I walked out into the hall I
saw the Grade 12 students milling
around the steps talking about
"dear knows what".
At 3:24 some were rushing to
their lockers while others saun-
tered along talking to a friend as
they walked. School was out!!
(for another day) . Some would
carry books to the bus, others
went with arms swinging. Yet as I
walked to the bus I wondered ...
What will I be doing a year from
now, two years from now? Will I
be working, going to college or
what? AsAhe school ,year draws
to a close and my friends are
looking for summer jobs I wonder
how many will return in Septem-
ber or how many will find the,
work force more inviting. My
only comment is I hope everyone
has a good summer and whether
or not they return in September I
hope they will find what they're
looking for. "Que Sera Sera" as
Doris Day might say and another
school year is almost finished as
time passes on ...
