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 Harvey Stewart, Rae Rasenberg, Barry Miller, Ken Innes, Brian Oldfield, Albert Van Dyken, Graeme Craig 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. Nelson Hawn, a well known communicator from Kemptville 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 students chosen to write the National Contest were: Grade 9: Richard Daugherty, Paul Craig, Kathy Underwood, Lori Hackett, Lynn Miller, Mark A bbott, Faye Forster, Lori Goodall, Patti Mann, Jeff Mulvey.

Debate, discussion groups, demonstrations and illustrated talks, followed the theme throughout the two days. Brant County 4-H members Alex Norry and Jeff Oliver presented their demonstration to the leaders at the banquet on Friday night. Alex and Jeff received the Governor John Graves Simcoe award at the Canadian National Exhibition for the best demonstration. The one hundred delegates to the conference represented the 1500 agricultural 4-H leaders in the province. 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' Boys lose 53-28 The team played it's poorest game of the season losing 53 - 28 to a strong Listowel team.
