We all need recognition
Madill Editoria l
Each one of us has basic
survival needs which must be met
like air, food, water and shelter;
but we are constantly seeking
other needs to satisfy ourselves.
We look for security from others
and recognition from groups --we
search for love and affection and
also for growth. These are basics
which everyone needs to develop
a strong mind and body.
Tied in with these is the need to
express ourselve s; the need to
be heard.
The importance of oral
expression is displayed by much
of our media through the use of
radio and television. The spoken
word is the principal means for
acquiring other's thoughts and
On uesday, Feb. 1$,
approximately 100 students from
grades 9, 10 and 11 wrote the
F.E.Madill Junior Math Contest.
This is a preliminary contest used
to select the students who will
write the nationwide Junior Math
Contest on March 1.
The top 'team in grade 9 was
made up of Richard Dougherty,
Faye Forster, Geoffrey Hamilton
and Reg. Thompson. Grade 10's
winning team was Ron Unrau,
SusanThompson, and Janet
Wood. and grade 11's was David
Housser, David Cronin, and
Jerry Bremner.
Each of these winning teams
received $10 for their efforts from
the Students' Council. Those

represented Huron 4-H leaders at
the Annual Provincial 4-H
Leaders' Conference being held
at the Sheraton Centre, Toronto
on February 11 and 12.
During the conference, the
leaders took part in workshops
and discussion groups covering
numerous aspects of the 4-H
program. With an emphasis on
improving communication skills,
participants were exposed to
various methods of presentation
and effective teaching methods.

insights and for sharing ideas,
and it is necessary that this take
place between the student and his
peers, and his instructor.
A number of students fear
ridicule and alienation by others
for talking about their own ideas,
while some thrive from the
experience of contributing. In
many cases the teacher has to
provide a supportive Climate so
students can talk openly. By this
he can recognize the divergent
abilities of his students and
probably better understand the
students "thought waves."
I guess the teacher first must
serve as the model to break down
the barrier between himself and
the student. No one is going to

opened the Conference with his
thoughts on the "Importance of
Expressing Yourself Well".
Debate, discussion groups,
demonstrations and illustrated
talks, followed the theme
throughout the two days.

Alex Norry and Jeff Oliver

the leaders at the banquet on
Friday night. Alex and Jeff

completely open-up to an
instructor who puts himself on a
pedestal, constantly reminding
the student that he is inferior and
is of no importance. It's a hard
process to reach the one-to-one
basis where the best communica-
tion can take place.They are not
trying to produce little sieves, but
people who can think and, relay
what has been learned,
If oral expression can take
place at the student's discretion
within the classroom, it will help
him feel that he is contributing
and has a place within the class.
On the other hand he can nourish
his undernourished areas from
listening to others, concerning
vocabulary, reading skills or
about the immediate lesson. It
might hurt, but at least he will
recognize where he stands.
The ability to express ideas is
important wherever you are in
life, whether it is in nursery
school, elementary or secondary
school, on the job, or within your
home. Really it is a skill worth
mastering and because we spend
so much of our time in the
classroom that seems to be a
great place to continue learning
the art.
Of course 'silence is golden'

How would you like to join a

draw attention to a winter
carnival? Ask M r. D. Bender how
he enjoyed it.
Mr. Bender was born in
Hanover, which makes him a
native of this area. It was in the
same town that. he almost
drowned. Being a typical
youngster in his boyhood years he
decided to walk over an Ice-
covered river. The ice broke and
Mr. Bender fell in. Fortunately
for this school someone rescued
him. It was also in Hanover that
Mr Bender attended Hanover
high school now John
