Madill Before
It is beginning to get more and
more difficult to find something
new and different from every
year's yearbook. The students are
different because some have left.
but more have enrolled. This does
not change the activities and clubs.
The hallowed halls of Madill are
still graced with the presence of the
Prefects. In 1968 Murray Elston
was the head prefect and Sheila
Crewson was his assistant. N.P.
There are still graduates and
Madill still holds Commencement
though the valedictorian changes
from year to year.
There will always be. driver
training, a camera club, a' library
club, French club, science club and
other, such similar activities. In
1968 there was a cadet club, judo
club and clip club (history club).
The clio club's main project in 1968
was to organize-a Centennial Diary
containing the dates of births and
deaths of many famous Canadians
and a local history. They also
witnessed a session of Parliament
under the supervision, of Murray
Gaunt and visited the Toronto
Museum. The cadet training and
proficiency had' become somewhat
of a tradltion at W.D.H.S. by 1968.
Cadets was then compulsory• in
grade nine only with the rest of the
corps composed of volunteers.
Major Ritter and his staff assisted
with the corps in. their preparation
for the inspection held in May.
The judo club was instructed by
Mr. B. Roberson who held a brown
belt. At each practice club
members went through a series of
strenuous exercises (called Icatan-
owaza) to loosen and strengthen
muscles. As Donna Mack, a
member of this club, stated "Judo.
is actually a study •in grace and
co-ordination involving the devel-
opment of an agile body and a
quick mind. It leaves you
physically and mentally fit as well
a self-confident," Clubs such as
these have fallen by • the wayside.
Yet school spirit doesn't change
much from year to year. There is
still apathy among some and
enthusiasm among. others.
•George Vallanee 'who was the
representative from W.D.H.S. at
the Athletic Leadership Camp in.
the summer of. 1967 made the
following remarks. "As I look back
upon my stay at the camp, I wonder
at the amount and variety of the
material taught. I learned every-
thing,' from how to do thirteen
different types of lay-ups in
basketball to being an expert at
opening bottles of pop with track
shoes. Although the first week of
camp was torture, I regret the fact
that I can never return to that
beautiful camp On Lake Couchi-
ching."
' The football team did quite well
in '1968. Their, only loss in the
season was to Mitchell. During the
playoffs their first game was
against Mitchell': • Wingham crush-
ed them 18 to O. The final game
against Exeter was a fight for , The
championship. Wingham was not a
snow team and that day there was
six inches of snow on the field in
Exeter. . Unfortunately Wingham
was defeated 16 to 7. Bryan
Walden, a player,' made this
remark, "BeCause of two groovy 1
coaches, Mr. Gnay and Mr.
Campbell, we still had a lot of
fun."
The cross country team added to
the prestige of W.D:H.S. that year
by bringing home four first place
standings . from the Huron-Perth
and W .0 S S . A . Conferences.
School will continue year after
year. Favourite sayings, fashions,
friends and teacher's names of
1968 will remain in the memories of
the graduates until someone like
myself has the nerve to blow dust
, off the cover of the yearbook and
draw old points of interest into
view. I hope someone, gets a kick
out of 'a little bit of modern history
because It is° interesting digging it
up. •

And After
High School
In the next few months, there
will be many decisions made. The
course of many lives will be
decided.' The ideals, and romantic-
ism of leaving home will become a
reality..
Over 'two hundred students will
be leaving Madill permanently next
June. We may not leave. until
June, but many plans will have
been made, and, perhaps, subse-
qnently scrapped by that time.
Applications for community col-,
leges and universities will soon be
arriving. The desire of students to
attend whatever type of post-
secondary they wish is very likely
to be fulfilled, depending on a
number of factors. Those factors
are; of course, important. When
November exam time roles around,
everyone realizes what difference a
few marks make. And then, there
are always the questions. "Where
were you thinking of going?" Well,
ah... "Any reason?" no. "And
What exactly is it that you'd like to
do?" It seems to me that people
sometimes forget that most of us
,have not been able to make up our
minds in eighteen years. How they
think we'll decide in a twenty
minute interview, is indeed ques-
tionable.
Then there is the ever-present
factor of money, or perhaps, the
ever-present lack of it. , There's
tuition, and books and expenses to
live', and, and, and ... But for those
Of us who are pinching pennies,:
there remains hope in O.S.S.A.P.
grants and loans and various
scholarships and bursaries.
There are some people who
believe that leaving high school
means going to' university, com-
munity college or simplyfinding a
job. Not necessarily. You could
join the Armed Forces. Your
educa0on is free in return 'for
service. There are two agricultural
