Cross Country Team
Wins Championship
BY JACK GALBRAITH
The Wingham District High
School cross country team cap-
tured the Huron Perth Cham-
pionship on October 19 in St.
Marys. Wingham finished well
ahead of the other seven schools
in an over all standing,
In the different divisions the
Junior team finished first while,
the Intermediate and Senior
teams took second place.
Wingham's top Junior finish-
ers were Bob Corrigan, third;
Ross Caslick, fourth; Paul Guest,
fifth; Norm MacLennan, eleven-
th, and Ken Taylor, thirteenth,
out of approximately 25 run-
ners, therefore giving the Jun-
ior team a total of 36 points,
more than 20 points ahead of
the second place school.
In the Intermediate class,
Don Willie took second place;
Rae Ivlathers, seventh; Arie De-
Bruyn, eighth; George Jardine,
twenty-fifth and Doug Garniss,
twenty-ninth out of more than
forty runners. This left a dif-
ference of only two points be-
tween Wingham and the win-
ner.
In the Senior class, Jack
Galbraith ran in second place,
Brian Caslick third and remain-
ing runners who were intermed-
iates filling out the senior team
were Lloyd Peacock, fifth; Don
Cronin, twentieth, and John
Welwood, twenty-first. It
should be noted that Lloyd
would have given the Inter-
mediates a win if he had run in
his own class. However, these
three Intermediates did a great
job in giving the Senior team
second place.

SOME NOTWORTHY
RESULTS OF THE MEET
First of all the Junior team
should be congratulated on an
excellent performance.
In the Intermediate class
Don Willie deserves special ap-
plause for finishing just a few
yards behind Listowel's famed
Henry Martens.
In the Senior class Jack Gal-
braith, although placing well,
ran a race considered below par
finishing just seconds behind
the winner to occupy a "dis-
appointing second". However,
Brian Caslick ran very well to
clinch third spot and the three
intermediates ran extremely
well to give the Senior team a
second.
Congratulations to the en-
tire cross-country team, the
Huron -Perth Champions.
To Mr. D. Stuckey, coach,
the team and the school con-
gratulates and thanks you on a
job well done.

Stratford Blanks Wingham
BY BILL KERR
Last Thursday Wingham
journeyed to Stratford for a
game with Central Collegiate.
The Stratford team dominated
the play throughout the game
as they blanked the local boys
by a 12-0 count.
A well-fed central defensive
line held the Mustangs to only
3 first downs and a mere 64
yards rushing. Stratford scored
a late first quarter touchdown
to put them ahead 6-0. The at-
tempted convert was wide. The
teams played to a mid -field
draw in the next two periods
but Stratford added another un-
converted touchdown in the dy-

ing minutes of the game to
build up a healthy 12-0 lead •
and that's the way it ended.
Randy McGlynn was the lead-
ing ground gainer as he picked
up 18 yards for the Mustangs.
Wingham now has a 2-2
won -loss record with only two
games remaining. They play
the le -ague -leading Goderich
Vikings next and then in Wing -
ham next Wednesday at 2:30
p.m. They must win both ball
games to gain a play-off berth
and that is only on condition
that the other top teams lose at
least one of their remaining two
games.
After four games Goderich
leads the conference with eight
points on 4 wins. Listowel is
right behind with 3 wins and a
tie for seven points.
Attends Seminar
At Guelph Univ.
Ronald Vogan, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ross Vogan and a stu-
dent at Central Collegiate in
Stratford, is one of 75 grade 13
students to spend two and ahalf
days at the University of
Guelph's life science seminar.
Sponsored by the Alumni As-
sociation of the Ontario Agri-
cultural College, the students
have an opportunity to see uni-
versity education in the life
sciences. They attend lectures,
laboratories, see research in
progress, participate in student
activities and live in student
residence.
The students were chosen
from over 1,500 who wrote spe-
cial examinations last year.
Ronald was formerly a stud-
ent here. His father was on the
teaching staff of W.D.H.S.for
several years.
Rising prices are reaching a
peak where today's youngpeo-
ple may even have to go with-
out things their parents never
could afford.
Teen Topics
QUESTION: "Looking back
to your bicycle days, do you
think safe bicycle riding courses
given by capable instructors
would be a good idea? What
about issuing permits to cyc-
lists who could pass specified
tests? Would this tend to make
them better car drivers later?"

DAVE KRAUTER: "Many
years ago when I propelled one
of those two -wheeled machines
I feel that I taught myself to
drive an automobile. Therefore
I firmly believe that safe bicy-
cle riding courses given by cap-
able instructors would be a good
idea. If children start practis-
ing the rules of the road, by
the time they are old enough to
take over the controls of a.car
they have only to make asim-
ple conversion from a bicycle
to a car.
"In the Armed Forces per-
mits are issued to cyclists who
pass a qualifying test and they
may not operate a bicycle with-
out this permit. If these per-
mits were made compulsory on
civilian streets as well, I be-
lieve that there would not be
nearly as many bicycle acci-
dents and in the end fewertraf-
fic accidents when these cyc-
lists begin to drive cars.
"In general, a good bicycle
rider is a good car driver and
these two seem to go hand in
hand in all respects. Therefore
the instruction of bicycle riding
and the issuing of permits would
be an excellent idea."
Students Visit
Computing Centre
Leading mathematics stu-
dents from nine secondary
schools including Wingham Dis-
trict High School visited the •
University of Waterloo on Sat-
urday, to learn computer pro-
gramming.
They took part in one of a
series of Computer Science
Days being held at the Univer-
sity during a five month period,
when more than 150 students
and teachers will visit the Uni-
versity each Saturday for a day-
long session of lectures, guid-
ance talks and problem solving,
using one of the Digital Com-
puting Centre's five computers.
A special language called
"TUTOR" has been developed
by the digital computing cen-
tre of the University to be used
by the students during this ser-
ies of Computer Science Days.
Each student spends three hours
in problem solving using a com-
puter.
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.
Teachers from W.D.H.S.
who accompanied the local
students were Mr. Horwood, Mr.
Anderson, Mr. Wood and Mr.
Hunter.

member of the high school band.
