F. E. MADILL AS A
COMMUMIT ASSET
Although the chief raison
d'etre of our school is the
education of its 1200 stud-
ents, the school also has a
second important function
that provides the community
with facilities worth
of dollars in terms of duplica-
tion,
The community benefits in
all aspects of development,
for example in athletics, in
further education, in leader-
ship,' and in such functional
disciplines such as driver
training or public health
information sessions. -
The Huron County School
Board policy regarding the
use of the school is very
generous: facilities are to be
used by the community to the
fullest extent possible.
The Athletic facilities con-
sist of four gymnasiums, .a
400 M track, and a full size
football field. These facilities
are extensively used by
groups such as the North
Huron Elementary Schools,

and many not so happy faces
coming through the doors of
Madill this week. Teachers
have started to return the
examination papers from the
exams held over the last

tudes for those who did do
well.

MUSTANG BASKETBALL
The -Junior, Midget and
Senior basketball teams will
be up against tough compe-
tition next week in Stratford.
Although the members of the
senior team have not yet

been decided, we wish all

HARLEM DIPLOMATS
Diplomat is defined as: a
person who is skillful in
dealing with others. The
name "The Harlem Diplo-
mats" could not be more
applicable. Although these
"diplomats" do not carry
-briefcases and wear neatly
pressed suits. they are ex-
tremely "skillful in dealing
with others" especially on
the basketball court. These
men incorporate skill and
jovial antics which make
excellent basketball and ex-
cellent showmanship. The
"Diplomats" will be at Mad-
ill December 15 at 8.00 p.m.
"See you There!"
The Huron County Health
Unit offers valuable training,
for example, their pre -natal
courses. All these services
are offered for use by the
area citizens at nominal cost,
usually only the expenses
required for custodial staff.
Thus do our publicly educa-
tional facilities supplement
the continuing process of
further education in day-to-
day operation of the school.
GRADE NINE ART
As well as simply teaching
the art course, our new art
iteacher has been using the
I school halls and staff rooms
to display the students' att.
The practice has 'teen en-
_ thusiastly welcomed by the
staff, and should be a motiv-
ating factor for the students,
as recognition of creative
ability makes the expression
of that ability more worth-
while.
This is the third week we
have featured Journal Draw-
ings on our page, and now
we would like to tell you the
academic purpose of them.
For homework each week,
one Journal Drawing is re-
quired from every art stud-
ent. The purpose of the Jour-
nal Drawings is three -fold:
1) used as a visual record of
discoveries
2) to develop ideas and imag-
ination, and
3) to encourage self-expres-
sion through the identifica-
tion of feelinge4often thera-
peutic).
Each student initially
chose, a symbolic object to
draw realistically from home.
• With this drawing they also
wrote down why they drew it
and what it represented to
them. The succeeding as-
signments involved adding
actions to this object. Such as
making it they. have had to
make it disintegrate, drip
and whirl. These actions are
problems and students must
solve, so that they are forced
to think and use their imagin-
ation.
We now have a full
selection of Meats
displayed in our refrigerated counter
as well as COLD CUTS
and many frozen products
such as fowl.
