Th is is our last Madill Mirror
for this year with sadness, the
staff of the school page sees this
year come to an end.
This week I'd) like to introduce
our school page staff to you, our
photographer this year w as-
Myron McKee, who took great,
pictures, sometimes overcoming
stupendous difficulties to do so.
Mary Ann Alton, our "Teacher
Interviewer", faithfully sacrificed
one activity period a week, so
people could become acquainted
with the teachers of our . school.
Joan Johnston , was a reporter -
whatever event she was to cover, ,
she acce• pted the assignment
with a smile - and handed it in on
time. Gordon Wray did a gobd job
of reporting the news of the clues
every week. Susan Thompson was
a reporter as we 11, and *irked
hard all year. Judy Nicholson was
the secret author of School Dave
(Yes, Mr. MacLennan, she's the -
guilty one!) writing a weekly
column is a big job, but Judy
always had one ready for Friday
morning!
A very special thank you; goes
to one person - a person who was
responsible for the Madill Mirror
getting started last fall.
Although she couldn't always act
as editor, she was our best
inspiration, critic, admirer and
source of moral support ...
throughout the year, the -.school
paie has been one of her major
concerns, and I think if the Madill
Mirror has been a success, this
year, it has been her success. The
person I am talking ,about is, of
course, Joan Leishman.
Mr. Damsma, our staff adviser,
deserves a lot of credit too.
Proof-reading our articles must
have been a chore, but he never
complained about the grammar or
misspelled words. Having a good
staff adviser has helped us so
much this year!
This article wduldn't be
complete without mentioning
Mrs.Ball and the girls in the
practice office who typed our
articles every Friday, and always
had them done on time. Thanks to
Mr. Ritter, as who gave us
his whole-hearted support all
year I hope that, during
the year, we have fulfilled the
goal we set in September: "To
tell everyone about our school -
our school that we're proud of!"
Marjorie Powell

Principal Ritter has always been at Madill
•4
Everyone of the students has
probably caught a glimpse, one
time during the school year'of the
carpeted office beyond Mr.
wood's. office. Mr. Ritter the
principal of our school inhabits
this room. His door is always
open to listen to problems of the
students. This is his 24th year as
a teacher or principal at Madill.
Mr. Ritter attended elementary
school at St. Jacob's P.S. He was
later a student 'at
Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate
and Vocational School. It was
during grade 10 and 11 that he
decided to become a teacher. It
was a sound career, he thought,
and offered good vacations. It was
also somewhat of a family
tradition. He attended Walterloo
College at Western in pursuit of
his planned vocation.
Mr. Ritter's first school was
F,E. Madill and he hasn't
changed and doesn't plan to.
When he started teaching English
at F,E. Madill he never thought
he'd one day be principal of this
school. He was also a Guidance
teacher and at one time before he
took the position of Vice Principal
was head of the Guidance Dept.
He stated his career has been an
evolutionary transition from
teacher to principal. •
His philosphy for students is to
strive for the best possible;
always endeavour to aim for
success and take full advantage of
facilities at the school in terms of
clubs,. school teams etc. Mr.
Ritter said he received
satisfaction from teaching. He
said "It is very rewarding
because students often far
surpass the ' teacher's
expectations of that student.
Sometimes it is such a surprise that it teaches you not to make
judgements" He also commented
on school spirit throughout the
Years. "While reading through'
the school history of 1920 arid
1930 student council minutes. I
discovered that position Were
filled by acclarnatiOn which
proves that school spirit doesn't
change from one year to the next: boWii through the ages stdrierits
students have always been apathetic." Mr Ritter feels the
student couticil IS " a responsible, business and community oriented
,t9111). Re said they have proved
111I with their donation's and involvdmerit with. the Red Cross`,
Cancer and Crippled Children's
Societies. He is, quite satisfied
with their excellent work.
There is something Mr. Ritter
thinks should be changed in the
next few years. The muscial
development has been neglected
over the years and he feels there
is enough interest to get an
instrumental music program
started again. "There*should be
greater committment to the Glee
Club and there are instruments
enough for a bugle band.
Instrumental music is expensive
to get started and it would be
better to wait for a year to see if
there is still interest before
rushing into something."
commented Mr. Ritter.
' His hobby is genealogy or
making family trees. He inherited
his mother'S family tree and is
presently working on his father's
family tree.
Mr. Ritter also enjoys _downhill
skiing especially at Christmas
time when the family can go to
Quebec skiing. In his younger
years he played 'Junior A and B
hockey., college hockey and was
also a football player. When
asked what his favourite colour
was he said "Blonde or brunette?
I prefer blondes!" '(His wife is a
blonde). He said his wife was not
'a career woman but rather a
household engineer ' Who is
actively involved with the hospital
auxiliary and • community
volunteer work. Mr.. Rittar was'
chairman of Wingham and
district Hospital for two years and
was a member of the board for a
total of five years.
Mr. and Mrs. Ritter have three
children, Karen who is now living
in Toronto working at Grolier
Press while finishing .her degree
by 'extension, Jim a grade' 13
student at Madill and Dave in
grade 12.
MacLean's is Mr. Ritter's
favourite magaiine Since they
started a new format of having
shorter articles. The daily
newspaper the Ritter family reads
is the Kitchener Waterloo Record
Since this was Mr. Ritter's home
te•Vvii and he is interested in the
local news. Though he doesn't
watch much TN, he enjoyed
"The War' Years” which was a
special.series just lately: Mr:
Ritter. has a Oerrnan background
(three generations back) so
