OOAtiTS, HONouBAat.a Louts 1'. CECILE, Q.C., Minister of Public Welfitre ASSEMBLY A mass assembly, one of the rarer events at Wingham High, was held last Friday in the audi- torium. Various teachers gave out bars won this year (and last year) for such activities as vol- leyball, wrestling, singing, football, basketball, long dis- tance running, yodeling and curling. In connection with the wrestling awards, Larry Brooks received a trophy donated and presented by Mr. Gnay, the wrestling coach. Cadet badges and Junior Letters were also handed out, A Junior Letter is a purple 'W' awarded to students who have legally gained six bars over the years. (Those with more than six bars are given a saloon,t) During the festivities Mr. Madill intimated that in the future it might be harder to win a Junior Letter. Mr. Campbell, physical education instructor and politi- cal analyst at W.D.H.S., seiz- ed upon the assembly as an opportunity to issue an arro- gant challenge on behalf of the teachers to the boys' basketball teams. He threw down a gaunt- let (glove) on the stage and dared any member of the team to pick it up. Three Senior basketball players, Alex Hamil- ton, Hugh Mundell, and Wayne Farrier, immediately rushed forward to pick up the glove and hurl it in his general direc- tion. This may or may not have been in strict accordance with the Code of Chivalry. At any rate, the date of the game was set for Wednesday of this week. Mr. Campbell later in - HIGHLIGHTS eluded the Junior boys in his challenge in an obvious at- tempt to improve the teachers' chances. The Seniors are con- fident, however, that the teachers' team will fall apart like a clay pigeon. Also during the assembly (we try to get full value out of every assembly) it was announc- ed that the proposed skiing ex- cursion to Beaver Valley had been cancelled because of the scarcity of snow. The trip, scheduled for last Saturday, had been planned for interested stu- dents by Miss Munro, Mr. Pal- mer and Mr. McCauley, all Wingham teachers. BOOKMOBILE On Thursday and Friday of last week the services of a book- mobile were available to W.D. H.S. students and their teach- ers (those who can read), The bookmobile was parked outside the north entrance and the classes made pilgrimages to it, giving every inmate an oppor- tunity to buy from the vast store of paperback books rang- ing from 'The Upanishads' to 'Drag Doll'. Throughout the year, pupils have also had an opportunity to order paperbacks from a company which sends out book lists every month of SO.
