THE AVERAGE STUDENT
This is the first of a series of
articles designed to give the
reader a deeper insight into the
nature of the high school and its
inhabitants. It may also be the
last.
The first fact which we dis-
cover about the Average Stu-
dent is indeed an astonishing
one. Since half the students in
the high school are girls and
half are boys, it therefore fol-
lows directly, by all the laws
of mathematics and logic, that
the Average Student is herma-
phroditic or bisexual. This as-
sumption may be challenged
by some backward souls who
have never heard of the Scien-
tific Method or the Age of Rea-
son bur modern and enlighten-
ed thinkers will have no diffi-
culty accepting it. In accord-
ance with our first discovery,
therefore, we will hereafter re-
fer to the Average Student as
it'.
When the Average Student
is not taking classes, it is in
the washroom fixing its hair. It
spends three hours in the girls'
washroom for every one hour in
the boys'. Outside school, the
Average Student has seen 3,481
movies, watched 142, 979 tele -

Turning to physical charac-
teristics, we find that the Aver-
age Student is five feet, six in-
ches tall with one and a half
brown eyes and half a blue eye.
It wears a rather worried look
due, no doubt, to its search for
identity and can be easily rec-
ognized by the pronounced
limp which it has acquired from
wearing one girl's shoe (size
five) and one boy's shoe (size
nine).
OUTING FOR THE INMATES
On Wednesday, March 4,
around forty students from
Grades Twelve and Thirteen
(mostly from Grade Twelve)
visited the O.A.C. (Organized
Ale -brewers Co-operative) at
Guelph. They were accomp-
anied by Mr. Wood, head the
the Science department at W.
D.H.S. During their visit they
toured a number of buildings
and viewed numerous exhibits
which had been set up for Col-
lege Royal week.
CORRIDOR CATASTROPHE
Nine were hurt but only four
were injured in the corridor
catastrophe last Monday. Large
numbers of students saved them-
selves only by hiding in their
lockers and holding the doors.
An unimpeachable source testi-
fied that is was the worst dis-
aster since the last time.
WRESTLING
A number of wrestlers from
W.D.H.S. accompanied by
Mr. Gnay, their coach, attend-
ed the all -Ontario wrestling
meet at Kitchener last Satur-
day. Understandably, they
didn't win any championships,
but they gained valuable ex-
perience.

Continued from Page One,
He said it is expected other
gauges will be constructed. A
snow course to measure snow-
fall for estimates of flood prob-
lems had been set up.
Mr. Tebbutt of the land use
and farm pond committee said
that the Authority is subsidising
the construction of farm ponds,
a program which he felt is
most important. He said it is
the one type of work being done
by the Authority where individ-
uals will benefit.
Daniel Beurman, reporting
for the reforestation board call-
ed on Larry Scales, Department
of Lands and Forests zone fores-
ter. Mr. Scales outlined the
program in operation where the
Authority lands for reforesta-
tion are under a management
agreement with the department.
During the year two properties
were purchased for reforesta-
tion, a 384 block in Turnberry
and another 100 acres inHow-
ick. This gives a total of about
900 acres which are owned by
the Authority and under man-
agement agreement with the
department.
W. J. Kelterborn, chairman
of the public relations board,
told the members that school
book covers bearing a conser-
vation message had been dis-
tributed and a small brochure
was printed. A slide library is
being built and a camera was
purchased to record the work of
the Authority. Slides are be-
ing shown to public meetings
and at fairs. In one case, ma-
terial has been supplied for a
geography lesson for Grade 13
students. A table -top model of
a by-pass farm pond was built
and used for displays at fairs.
The Conservation Area and
Wildlife Board, under chairman
Oscar Nickel, reported an ac-
tive year. Considerable de-
velopment work has been car-
ried out in the area. At Gal-
braith, in Mornington Town-
ship, the road was widened,
toilets, garbage cans and pic-
nic tables were installed, as
well as brushing and other work.
At the Ethel area in Grey Town-
ship a parking lot was laid out
and toilets set up. At Gorrie a
lot of work has been done and
the area has been used a great
deal by the public. The old
mill is being used for storage.
A five -acre site has been tum -
ed over to the Authority at Blue -
vale, and at Harriston work is
progressing on a park scheme
with Harriston and Minto as the
benefiting municipalities.
During the year a superin-
tendent, John Hazlitt, was hir-
ed to look after the various pro-
jects, and this has entailed the
purchase of a vehicle and var-
ious tools and equipment, Dur-
ing the year a full-time field
officer was stationed in the
Authority by the Department of
Lands and Forests. The new of-
ficer, Ken Musclow, has been
doing fine work, and the Auth-
ority has rented an office in
Listowel as his headquarters.
PRESENTS GAVEL
Former Field Officer Terry
McCauley, of Exeter, attended
the meeting and presented the
chairman with a block and
gavel, hearing the Authority
crest, as a token of his appreci-
ation during his time with the
Authority. The block was made
of rare black cherry wood. Mr.
Wenger thanked Mr. McCauley
on behalf of the organization.

chase of property near Benrnil-

Did you know that sound
comes in two varieties? The un
pleasant type is known as
noise -- the pleasant kind is
called music. Let's make sure
we are on the right side of the
fence on this question and give
every sound we produce all the
breaks possible in order to have
it survive. Sing-cerely until

Mrs. Harold Walden, moth-
er of Eric and William Walden
of Wingham, passed away af-
ter an illness of one month, in
the Kincardine Hospital, on
Friday evening. Her death, at
65 years of age, was attributed
to a heart attack, although she

en leg.

riage to Mr. Walden forty-two
years ago, the couple resided
on the 4th concession of Kin-
cardine Township where they
farmed until 1929, moving at
that time to Kincardine. She
was a member of the Kincar-
dine United Church and the
Women's Institute.
Deceased is survived by her
husband and one daughter, Mrs.
Lloyd (Lillian) Sparks of Exeter;
three sons, William and Eric,
of Wingham, and Donald of
Kincardine. One brother, Elton
Orr, of Kincardine Township,
and one sister, Mrs. Edward
(Mabel) Herron, of Kincardine

grandchildren and one great-
grandson.

tery.
