ew people stop to consider
ere their lives are taking them.
en fewer people try to find out
ere they are coming from -
at events in history and what
pie, preceded them. Living in
ron. County, our,"Roots" are
y familiar to most of us. Often
farms we live on now were
ivated by our grandfathers,
our great-grandfathers
ore them. We can still talk to
pie who remember when the
street of Wingham was a
road; our history remains
in the memories of people.
ne aspect of life in Huron
nty which has remained
haged throughout the years of
development is the land. The
hinery which cultivates it has
nged, the people who runs the
hinery have changed, even
crops which grow on it have
nged. But the land is the

munity -- this land is, for
y of us, our livelihood. We
see the stone fences of our
dfathers, yet on the same
the barbed wire fences of
y. Perhaps in the middle of a
of hay a maple tree -- well
r fifty years old -- stands.
any Canadian authors feel
the source of our Canadian
tity is found in our love for
land. In Huron County, we
have our "Love for the Land"
e plough it, sow it, harvest it
sometimes swear at it.
whatever we do has been
e before us by other
erations, We can look at our
ng land and feel the past,
k in the present and prepare
the future.
e need not travel far to find
roots -- we need only look
nd us to find them. We see a
scape that of Huron
ty, and "the sense of one's
as a whole seems always
ent",

ool Page: Teacher Interview:
Mr. Wood
r. Wood has been -vice
Special
Savings
Accounts
principal gor 9 years. This is the
first year Mr. Wood has not
taught grade 13 physics. Other
subjects he hap taught in the past
areMath and Science. Mr. Wood
trained at Guelph University for
four years and at the TEachers -
college in Toronto for 1 year.
After he graduated he.worked for
one year for the government;
at the School of Agriculture in
Ridgetown. During his year at
Ridgetown he had to teach a few
classes as part of his job. He
decided at this time that teaching
was what he really wanted to do.
Mr. Wood's hometown is!
Londesboto and he attended High
School at Clinton. Outside his
busy schedule Mr, Wood enjoys
photography, badminton, to ,ble
tennis, and hockey. When asked
what his favourite colour was Mr.
Wood thought for awhile and then
replied, "Green, maybe ..at least
that has been the colour of my last
three ears," Mr. Wood enjoys
any foods.
'On Monday nights at 9:00
o'clock Mr Wood relaxes with his
favourite magazine, popular
science, sitting in front of the
T.V, waiting in anticipation to
watch "All in the Family", while
his Beagle brings his slippers.
Now that's living!
Mr. Wood has a family of four.
Their names and grades are as
follows: Joanne, Gr. 10; Janet Gr.
9; Karen Gr. 7; and Doug. Gr. 4.
Mr. Wood feels that he was put
on this earth to be of some help or
good to the people now and later
in life. His job certainly fulfills his
philosophy. -
Mr. Wood said he thinks we
have a good school but he is
prejudiced. "The reason for this
statement," he said, the fact
that Madill is an old-fashioned
school. Students do what is
expected of them. On the whole,
students ' Show better manners
and are better educated because
of the rigid system." He also
commented that school spirit has
improved this year because we
have a good student council to
encourage it.
I asked Mr. Wood what he
thought about the cut-back of the
budget in education as well as in
other walks of life. Mr. Wood said
"We.have only seen the tip of the
iceberg and we can expect more.
Teachers are going to be expected
to carry a heavier load and there
will be shortages experienced
everywhere."
It is rather amusing being a
vice principal I found out. Mr.
Wood said that when he calls
parents at lunchtime to see if
their child is sick, or whatever, he
quite often is greeted by "Roast
Beef" or "'Soup and
"Sandwiches" ' . Unfortunately
they didn't win a dinner. The year
that Lucknow High School closed
down, and the students came to,
Madill also proved to be a very
interesting year because half of
the student body had never
attended Madill before. There
was rearranging and confusion
for awhile but all was ironed out.
Mr. Wood has a tremendous
responsibility' as vice principal.
Sometimes the rules and
regulations seem unreasonable
and harsh but stop a minute and
consider what you would do in his
shoes. Probably the same.
