The time has arrived once
again, for all to the graduating
students of RE. Madill to gather
together for their annual
Commencement Exercises. Each
one of these people has
commenced on a journey of their
own - be it to further their
education at the various universi-
ties and community" colleges, to
display their many talents at jobs
out in the working,, world, or to'
continue studying at RE. Madill.
But we all have one common
factor: an "X" number of years
that were spent developing our
characters and our interests in a
small, rural high school, that has
become a very special part of each
and every one of our Jives.
I have often heard the comment
"Your high-school years are the
best years of your life. Enjoy
them, for they won't last for very
long." I always felt that they
didn't really know what they were
talking about. How could going to
a small town high school be more
exciting than living on your own

On Friday, October 28, while
most students at F.E.. Madill had
a holiday, the cross-country
teams went to the London Ski
Club at Byron for the WOSSA
meet.
Weather cooperated with us, as
it had on most meets.
The team members were proud
of their efforts on one of the most
difficult courses of the year. A
steep downhill ski slope, a narrow
winding forest path' and a stretch
of open field 'were parts of the
course.
Results of the meet and
members of the teams are listed
below.
Midget Boys - As a team these
boys placed 10th. Tom White
placed 25th out of 125 boys. Ed
Davidson, Leo Kinahan and Karl
Morrison are the other boys on
the team.
Junior Boys Shane Purdon,
Klaas Jorritsma, Mike Dennis,
Mark Haldenby, Shawn McKay,
Ken Metzger and John Passchier
composed the Junior boys team.
Shane placed 10th individually.
A
and making all of your own
decisions? Now that the time is
drawing nearer for me to be on
my own, it scares me - as I'm sure
it scares a lot of other people who
are in the same position as
myself. I've become accustomed
to the sheltered walls of good old
Madill and I've finally become
part of the "older students" of
our school. To be back down at
the bottom of the aldder again
next year is certainly going to be a
change. But, hundreds of
students before us have endured
this situation so I imagine we'll
survive somehow.
The meaning of that small word
attempt. There will be many
hardships and frustrations along
the way, but no one promised us
that it would be easy. Anyway,
who wants to have everything
handed to them on a silver
platter? It is much more satisfy-
ing to be able to solve a problem
for yourself and by yourself and to
know that you are capable of
doing so again.
Of course I'm not advocating
The team placed 9th.
Senior Girls - The Senior girls
team has had a very successful
season this year. They placed 2nd
at Huron-Perth and at WOSSA
also placed 2nd.
Janet Wood placed 1st to win
the WOSSA Individual Senior
Girls Championship. Freda
Reinink placed 8th and Anita
Reinink placed 11th. The other
members of the team are Chris

total independence from
everyone. We all have to depend
on other people at some time in
our lives, whether we want to or
not. If, you make up your mind to
accept this fact early in your life
then you will learn from each new
experience, in which you become
involved. We are constantly
learning new aspects of life
everyday. To be able to keep
yourself cheerful and optimistic,
despite your failures, is the
greatest gift a person can
"success" is different for all of
us. We have to decide what our
values are - just what do we
cherish and treasure most of all?
Once this has been accomplished
then achieving our various goals
will be a much easier task.
"To thine own self be true. . ." is
part of a famous quote that
contains a lot of meaning. If each
of us can maintain our own values
and not be overly influenced by
others, then I know we will all
succeed at most things which we
possess.
I would like to extend a sincere
