Back on the Job
Mr, Madill is back after at-
tending the annual convention
of the American Secondary
School Principals in Miami
Beach, There were 8, 350 prin-
cipals registered, including
about '15 from Ontario.
Generalsessions were held
each morning and evening, ad-
dressed by such outstanding
speakers as Senator J. W. Ful -
bright, Chairman, Senate Com-
mittee On Foreign Relations;
Henry Cabot Lodge, former U.
S. Ambassador to Viet Nam;
Dr. J, B. Covant, former Presi-
dent Harvard University and
author of many books on Amer-
ican education,
In the afternoons, one could
attend discussion groups or visit
some Florida schools. Perhaps
the chief value of any conven-
tion is the opportunity for dis-

cussion with so many other
principals.
No one ignored the experi-
ments being carried on in
American education, Unlimi-
ted funds seem to be available
for rewards. Many of these
ideas find their way into our
Canadian schools. An example
is the new approach to Mathe-
matics.

W.D.H.S. Glee Club
By Gail Dinsmore,
Great credit should go to
Mrs. Douglas for her organiza-
tion of the glee clubs of this
school. Although there is a
short time for practice for the
annual variety concert, she in-
variably produces a musical
programme which has wide ap-
peal.
At present there are approxi-
mately 300 members of the
combined groups, The junior
and senior boys' glee club has
a membership of about forty
people. There are about 100
senior girls and over 150 junior
girls in the girls' glee clubs.
The groups are generally
divided into soprano, first and
second alto, tenor and bass.
These sections are subdivided
into wider ranges for special
selections.
For the forthcoming variety
concert which is to be held on
the nights of February 18 and
19, plans have been made to
present a medley of songs from
the musical "Milk and Honey".
Included in this selection are,
among others, "Shalom"," That
Was Yesterday", and of course,
the title song, "Milk and Ilon-
ey" . In addition there will be
selections from both of the
girls' choirs, a boys' choir num-
ber, mixed numbers and, as a
finale, a group of numbers
sung by the mass choir. The
tunes being presented range
from the classical (a selection
by Bach) to the popular tunes
of today (Hello, Dolly), so
everyone should be interested
XIIIB
in some of the selections.
The practices are generally
well -attended which is, Ithink
indicative of the teacher -stu-
dent co-operation that exists
in this activity. Mrs. Douglas
expressed her opinion that the
success of this effort depends on
the punctual and faithful ap-
pearance of all the members at
practice, and she hopes for a
few extra periods in which to
add the finishing touches to the
programme.
I am sure everyone wishes
the glee club tnembers success
in their work.

High School Sports
Are an Incentive
BY MURRAY PROCTOR
In London Free Press
Murray Proctor, 1$, Wing.-
ham
ing+haul District High School's
representative to the Student
Leaders' Club, wrote his essay
on what he hopes will be his
life's work—high school sports.
Murray, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Wilbur Proctor, of RR 4, Brus-
sels, said in the essay he be-
lieves participation in sports
the second most important as-
pect of high school life, next
to passing, He intends to be a
high school physical education
teacher.
Murray is head prefect at
the school, was president of
the athletic society last year
and represented his school at
the Ontario Leadership Athlet-
ic Camp in 1963. He has par-
ticipated in football, track and
field, basketball and badmin-
ton.
Outside of school he belongs
to the junior farmer organiza-
tion, Following is his essay on
"The Role of School Sports."
"In my opinion, the most
important achievement next to
passing each year is participat-
ing in school sports.
"As a matter of fact, school
sports are often an incentive to
try hard to pass examinations
in order to play. School sports
such as football and basketball
teach us to live with ourselves,
to control our tempers, to be
friends with opponents and not
to hold a grudge against any -
"Meeting other boys and
girls is one of the most impor-
tant aspects of sports. Team
sports teach us to work as a
team and avoid individuality,
sportsmanship and co-ordina-
tion. Individual sports such as
badminton and track and field
teach us co-ordination and
control of our tempers with
ourselves for making mistakes,
"If 1 had not participated in
school sports, I know right well
that I would have had an en-
tirely
n-tirely different personality and
friends,"

spiring address on "Youth Looks

Computer Programming
To Be Shown to Students
Leading mathematics stu-
dents from Grand Valley Dis-
trict High School, Grand Val-
ley; King City Composite
School, King City; Wingham
District High School, Wingham;
Paris District High School, Pari
and Emery Collegiate Institute,
Weston, will visit the Universi-
ty of Waterloo on Saturday to
learn computer programming.
They will be taking part in
one of a series of regularly
scheduled computer science
days for high school students.
More than 1700 students will
be attending the Saturday ses-
sions during the next four
months.
The Computer Science Day
program has been arranged by
Professor J. W. Graham, director
of the digital computing centre
and by Professor R. G, Stanton,
chairman of the mathematics
department.
"Computers are becoming
more and more important in
the conduct of business and
scientific affairs," said Profes-
sor Graham, "and computing
has become a fascinating new
career field for young people.
"In addition to lectures and
guidance talks during the Com-
puter Science Day, each stu-
dent will spend three hours in
problem solving using a com-
puter. He should go home feel-
ing he has mastered a basic
understanding of the use, pro-
gramming, and scope of the
digital computer."
The Computer Science Days
are limited to Grade 12 and 13
students who have attained a
first class standing in mathe-
matics in their previous year's
work.
GLEE CLUB MEMBERS are having a good time at the high
school these days, and are working hard. This group
includes, back row standing, from the left: Norman Cor-
