Purple and White Day was, held
on Thursday, October 27 this year
at F.E. Madill and it was a terrific
success. At the Pep Rally - after
the shortened classes - in Gym
228, students crowded in to
spread the school spirit. Mary
Eadie, president of the student
council, spoke on the tremendous
enthusiasm of the school in
participating in Purple and White
Day.
80 percent of students and
teachers wore purple and white,
and 15 homeroom's in the school
had 100% of students wearing
something purple and white. This
is a wonderful response in view of
Distopia
(By Brian Arnold)
I am a lonely prisoner, a captive
without sound,
I've lost a vital part of me with
music not around,
And I get this awful yearning that
the silence cannot fill,
I cry for warming music that could
heat htis freezing chill. -
Let me hear you pound piano,
Or a keyboard player's dream,
Of keys that tinkle softly like a
gently flowing stream.
Let the guitars strum in silence,
Let them hammer out cold steel.
Just as long as I hear music,
there's hope that I can heal.
Let the drums roll out like
thunder,
Let them set the backbeat strong,
Now that I have all this music, I
am sure to get along.
This world's a living hell, without
the music that we know,
Without vocal chords descending
and crescending alto tones,
Teacher Interview-Mrs. Douglas
(By Steve Johann)
I'm sure that everyone knows
that one member of the F.E.
Madill teaching staff is Mrs.
Douglas. Perhaps because she
teaches special education classes,
or possibly because she is a
guidance counsellor, but probably
because she is one of the directors
of the F.E. Madill choir.
Mrs. Douglas is a native of this
area, having grown up in Morris
township, and gone to Brussels
public, and continuation schools.
She then went to Stratford
Teacher's College. The Toronto
Conservatory of Music followed
with training in vocal music and
theory. Mrs, Douglas took
summer courses in Toronto, and
London to be a music specialist, a
special education specialist, and
guidance specialist. She taught
elementary school for seven
year, then itinerat music in
elementary and secondary
schools in Huron County. For the
past nine years she has 'taught full
time music, special education and
guidance at Madill,
Mrs. Douglas now lives in the
farming community of Belmore.
She likes all kinds of needlework,
and with plenty of friends, she
has many house *guests. In her
community, she is the director of
a choir of ladies known as the
Mari-Bell: She also likes. to
travel. Some of the places she has
visited are: London, England,
Paris, Hawaii, Greece, Spain, all
of Canada, and most of the U.S.
She has, one son, who is now a
teacher at Arthur High School.
Mrs. Douglas likes a well-run,
and well-disciplined class. She
personally feels that most
students are, as intelligent, well
behaved and likeable as they ever
have been, She dreads the day
When she will be forced to retire,
and not be associated with young
people. She feels that being with
the fact that last year we did not
even have a Purple and White
Day. The efforts of homerooms
9A, 9D, 9E, 9M, 108, 10W, 11B,
11E, 11F, 11M, 12D, 12E, 12H,
13A and 13B were recognized as
they each had a chance at a draw.
Mrs. Tiffin, who did much to
organize this special day was
chosen to draw. The winning
homeroom, 11M, had a prize
given to each class member 'on
Monday morning at 9:00.
Mrs. Lisle introduced the Jr.
Girls Basketball team who were to
play against Norwell.
Next on the agenda were the
cheerleaders. Leading the
students With their most popular
Without the vibrand melodies
which played the whole day long.
I'm afraid to say that musicless
we won't last very long..
They're killing all the
phonographs,
The stereos meet doom,
They're slowly killing all the
notes.,
They're slaughtering the tunes.
No longer will the juke box roll,
the final quarter'S fed.
I am a lonely prisoner, a captive
without sound.
I've lost a vital part of me with
music not around.
Facing Graduation
(By Mary Luanne Clare)
Faces of old and faces of new,
People we know and people we
knew.
Growing together then drifting
apart,
Always an ending and now a new
start.
At graduation we all grow nearer
active, intelligent youth keeps
you alert, and that it is a
refreshing influence.
As far as the choir goes, she
feels that it could be improved
with regular classroom
instruction, and hopefully a
regularly scheduled time in the
future would be possible, to
achieve a higher quality of tine
Home Ec 55 1
Classes visit
(By Julie King)
On Wednesday, November 2,
the students of Miss Nute's Home
Economics 551 classes, visited
the town of Elmira and the
Mennonite settlements. We were
greeted by the Assistant Pastor of
the Progressive Mennonite
Church and shown a film called
"The Plain People," which dealt
with the lives of this secular
group. This was followed by a
question and answer period,
during which many interesting
queries were satisfied concerning
the various aspescts of the
Mennonite way of life. A delicious
noon meal was servied to our
group and we had the chance to
buy loaves of fresh homemade
bread as well as ,different gifts
from all parts of the world. The
proceeds are sent to the
Missionaries that the Mennonite
people have organized, A tour of
routines, they had everyone
overflowing with school spirit and
clapping with the beat. Guest
stars, from the senior boys
volleyball team, appeared in
outfits to be the new, liberated
cheerleaders and with a log of
laughter we headed down to the
double gym or football field.
There we saw our school spirit in
the form of playing .teams.
There were the JuniOr football'
team against Clinton outside and
Junior and Senior girls basketball
against Norwell in the gym.
Many thanks to the staff and
students who did so much to
make Purple and White Day the
best ever - until next year. •
Poetry
And all of our friends seem much

And as we say our final good bye
One last embrace and one more

A "Keep in touch" and a
"Promise I will"
A "Remember when" but, better
still,
A place in my heart, you'll aldays

This is what's said as we - go on
our way.

material, good co-operation and,
talent, she would like to see a
regular schedule, with more time
to develop the choir.
So now you know one member
of the F.E. Madill staff who
happens to teach special. educa-

one of the choir directors.

On October 27, classes were
dismissed early and many purple
and white clad fans filled the
stands to root for our senior girls
basketball team.
It is impossible to say whether
or not it was because of the
cheering that the numerous fans
produced that we won, but we
finished victorious.

Once a month, a dance is held

Cathy Walters 12H - The pits!
