It seems as if only yesterday that we returned from our summer vacations. Many changes had occurred to the school during our leave of absence. Flowers bloomed in the diamond and rectan­ gular beds situated in the sidewalk leading to the main door. A curved roadway had been built to the south door where the buses discharged their passengers. A new parking lot and tennis court, which are being used as volley ball courts, amazed us even more. We have four new teachers on our staff, Mr. Stuckey Mr. Campbell, Mr. Kalbfleisch and Miss Coutts. Elections have already been held for positions in the Students’ Coun­ cil and the Athletic Societies. The Senior Glee Club and Grade X Girls' Glee Club have already been formed, under the direction of Mrs. Marie Douglas. The boys’ rugby team, and, of course, the cheerleaders have been getting into condition for difficult competition. At the first meeting of the Stu­ dents’ Council last week, many inter­ esting problems were discussed. It was decided that an assembly would be held in the auditorium every Mon­ day morning. Here the student body would hear the Scripture, sing the na­ tional anthem, and hear all necessary announcements together, instead of separately in each room. The first literary meeting is to take place in the auditorium on Friday, October 21st. Various opinions are being obtained concerning a music series to be held during the winter in the auditorium. Sheila Porter. 0-0-0 On Tuesday, October 4, the W.D.H.S. rugby team journeyed to Clinton to play its first game of the 1955 season. The improved Wingham team, as a result of many hours’ practice and excellent coaching of Mr. Ritter and Mr. Campbell, defeated the Clinton team by the one-sided score of 21-0 Early in the game, half-back Doug. Murray crossed over the line for the first touchdown which was not con­ verted. In the second quarter, Doug Murray threw a pass to Left-back. Bob Black who ran about 40 yards for Wingham’s second touchdown. The convert for this touchdown was also unsuccessful. While deep in the Clinton end, Ian Gibbons recovered a fumble in Clin­ ton's end zone for Wingham's third touchdown; it also wasn’t converted. In the fourth quarter, Half-back Bruce Lott scored Wingham’s final touchdown on a plunge. Bruce Robert­ son then passed to Bill Rintoul for the convert. The student body and the teachers say “Congratulations” to the players and "Good luck” in the remaining games. Bruce Robertson. 0-0-0 LITERARY On October 13, the W.D.H.S.

The first home game of the Mustangs met with the approval of each and every Wingham fan, as the Mustangs whitewashed Seaforth forty-three to nothing. Mur­ ray, of Wingham, opened the scor­ ing in the first five minutes of play after Wingham had recovered a Sea­ forth fumble. Struthers kicked the convert to make it six to nothing at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Robertson and Lott each got a touchdown, then a rouge and then a field goal by Struth­ ers gave Wingham a handsome lead of twenty to nothing at half time. In the last half, Wingham again ran roughshod over Seaforth as Mur­ ray, Campbell, Grewar and Bain got touchdowns, along with two converts by Struthers and Campbell, to give Wingham the forty-three to nothing victory. During the game, one of our star players, Bruce Robertson, was injured. Later, it was learned that Bruce’s leg was broken. The entire school wishes him a speedy recovery. The next game of the schedule will be played in Wingham when the Mustangs play host to the Goderich Collegiate Scullers. Jim Foxton.
