He was none other than Mr. Wood, our Vice Principal, complete in his outfit of "The Form". With his Chain swinging and his running shoes squeaking, Fonzie casually strolled across the stage making all of the girls melt at the sight of their idol! Mr. Wood was just one of the many teachers that became involved in so,me way, shape or form, with "Snow Fest /8". Just to give you an idea of the sorts of activities that this authoritarian group participates in, here are some of them. The teachers were involved in the broornball game and the Tug of War teams. They are good sports too, considering their Tug of War team was outnumbered 2 to 1! One teacher, the "Unknown Comic" made his debut in the Gong Show and two others acted as judges for several contests. The teachers haven't students at b a just limited their enthusiasm to the Snow Carnival. They have .. group of three male teachers who entertained the entire student body, at one of the Monday morning assemblies! But, to top everything, thanks to the warm- heartedness of the teachers there weren't very many tests scheduled for Carnival week. To me, that is just -about the nicest gesture they have every made! They may not realize it, but every student in this school loves to see any teacher get involved and cause some laughter--in any kind of situation! It brightens up the whole day, or week for that matter. The main purpose in creating Teachers beat "Snow Fest" week, was to revive the School Spirit that has been slowly fading away over the last few years. This goal has been achieved one hundred per cent— just ask any teacher or student! It was great to see so many people stay at school for the events that had been planned. We had a. beautiful week, weatherrwise, and lots of partici- pation. That is why "Snow Fest /8" was such a roaring success. Who said that Madill was lacking spirit? We're all alive and Cheering! Julie King 13B Co-Editor the students. Coach Graham almost didn't make it to the game, because of his injury, but he ignored the pain and his agony (woo!) and got there by stretcher! The only thing wrong .with the game,, was that the . teachers never gave the student team enough time to score! Jahice Guest 13A the students' council-Purple and On Wednesday, January 18,' in foul and Mr. Gavreluk got a White Day, The Christmas - the ,midst of the winter Carnival, penalty--for reasons unknown Assembly, Greaser Day and so everyone was dismissed at 1:00 to (but probably well-deserved!). on. , see the -annual 'Student-Teacher "Mr. "Swift-Sfick" McLennan We very talented Broomball game at the Wingham should have received a penalty for - Arena.

Elliott ("B", stands cheerleaders who stood behind for blind) and the competent, the right team and encourage honest Frank Leahy were the referees. The game consisted of two twenty minute periods. Mr. Lane, the hero of the teacher's team, got the only goal, late in the first period. He was assisted by Miss Schofield and Mr. Willis. It was a heavy-hitting game with three big penalties Janet Wood got one for molesting a teacher, Paul Dickson for broom On Friday the students of F. E. greeted the school in a different way; but why shouldn't they. Friday was the last day of the winter carnival, and greaser day. Many students costumed .themselves in fifties 'costumes with 11F 'having the greatest participation, and 13B coming second. _-The apparel of many of the girls consisted of a blouse, perhaps a sweater, a skirt, white running shoes, and of course bobby socks, been involved and active in nearly all of the activities suggested by even have a Ski teams compete Cross Country Skiing is an exciting sport intended to give sightseeing of our beautiful country, give tone and strength to muscles and good physical fitness.

Dale Whitfield 12H--More pictures, and Madill having the winning scores. Sally Le Van 13A--Nothing. It's perfect. Brian Arnold 12A--1'd like to see it in the Lucknow Sentinel! Joanne Sanderson--I think it's okay, but there should be a section for the clubs. Tom Walker--There should be a vaster assortment of school items pertaining more to the majority of the students. Cathy Willits--There should be more student interviews and less articles on sports. (Tom used all my big words Karen Underwood--I think it's okay the way it is. Rita White--I don't think anything should be changed. Joanne Wood--There should be more pictures but I like the student interviews. Marni Walsh--It would be more interesting if there were more articles written by students, such as essays, poems, etc. Susan Langlois--1 think it's good the way it is but there should be more pictures. Leslie Vandenburg and Gwen 'James--There should be more information on the geography club and more poems, and short stories. The student interviews are really good. Valerie Stuart--It should be bigger and cover more areas. Connie Meurs--It's okay the way it is. As far as the guys went, there was a wide selection. ,An old suit and tie, adorned with a white shirt. The closer to authentic, with T-shirts and stovepipe pants. And the "Pseudo-Fonz" type with jeans, T-shirt, leather jacket, shades and of course greased hair, hence the name greaser day. There were also many other variations, and new ideas, too numerous to mention. ' As with any dress up day, there were those, (including yours Students dress up for greaser day truly), who refused, or just duirt t dress up. As with the greasers, there was a wide range of clothing here too, although it didn't count. These dress up days, like purple and white day, drum up a lot of school spirit, not to mention the fact that they can be fun There should be more of them in the future, to break up the monotony of everyday life.
