The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-11-04, Page 3• s. • 4 • • • • 4 Parents of Grade Nine Pupils Visit District School Parents of Grade Nine schol- ars at the Wingham District High School visited that insti- tution on Friday evening to learn the progress of their child- ren and to discuss with the tea- chers any problems which have arisen since the opening of the fall term. Attendance of par- ents was somewhat lower than last year. There are 287 pupils in Grade Nine and some 98 par- ents attended the school, All teachers who handle Grade Nine subjects were in their classrooms and met the parents to discuss the curricu- lum, student progress and dif- ficulties where they existed. Principal F. E. Madill said that this annual event is con- sidered extremely important to both the school and the pupils, particularly in cases where the newcomers from public schools are experiencing some difficul- ty in adjusting to the bigger and busier school life. It provides an opportunity for parents to learn more about the problems faced by their children, as well as permitting the teachers to emphasize the importance of home study. District High School News and Views Teams Play Lucknow Girls BY JUDY FORSYTH During this past week both the junior and senior girls' vol., leyball teams decided that it was about time they displayed their ability, obtained by hard weeks of practice, and thus challenged the Lucknow girls to a volleyball game. The junior team took the challenge first and defeated the Lucknow girls in the best two - out -of -three games. In the first they won 15-9, in the sec- ond they lost 15-9, and came out victorious in the third with a score of 15-5. The seniors then came on the floor to take Lucknow in two games straight, with scores of 15-9 and 17-15. Both coach- es felt that their seniors need- ed extra practice so decided that they would play one more game. Unfortunately Wingham was defeated 15-0, a simple case of major miscalculations, On November 4th (today) Wingham teams go to St. Marys to take part in the Perth -Huron Volleyball Conference. The best of luck to all.

MUNROE BY GLEN Mr. Munroe was born in Eastview, Ontario, a small community near Ottawa. Here- ceived his secondary education at Lisgar Collegiate Institute in Ottawa and enjoyed all subjects. Most of his spare time was spent working on his grandfather's farm and therefore he had no time to participate in any out- side activities. He attended Ottawa University. Mr. Munroe worked during the day, taking only night courses. He graduat- ed with a Bachelor of Arts de- gree. At university he was es- pecially interested in the hum- anities and philosophy. Before coming to W.D.H.S. Mr. Munroe taught History, English and Science at Hull. His main attraction to Wing - ham was the community aspect of the school which is quite dif- ferent from the large city schools. At Wingham, Mr. Munroe teaches French and English. He is married and blessed with four lovely girls ranging in age from 5 to 12. His outside interests now include reading especially. He is also interest- ed in individual sports such as canoeing, skiing and horse- back riding. Mr. Munroe finds the stu- dents in Wingham, in general, Happy To Join You ... • We are pleased to announce our purchase of McKibbon's Drug Store we plan to continue to operate as a Rexall Drug Store.

Vikings Wallop Mustangs 38-0 BY BILL KERR The Wingham District High School football Mustangs lost all chances of a play-off berth last Wednesday when the Gode- rich Vikings handed them a 38 to 0 drubbing. • It marks the sec- ond successive year that Wing - ham has failed to qualify for the play-offs after many very successful seasons which saw the Mustangs win eight cham- pionships. The Vikings, undefeated in 5 starts this season, were led by their speedy full-backs Bill Wil- kinson and Doug Wilson in hand- ing Wingham the worst shel- lacking they have had in quite some time. Wilkinson scored five touchdowns for Goderich while Wilson added another TD and two converts. Judging by the first few min- utes of play the teams looked to be quite evenly matched but then Wilkinson galloped 50 yards to break the game wide open and shattered any confi- dence Wingham had as the Mus- tang defense seemed to fall apart and the offense just could not find any openings. Wilkinson scored another major in the second quarter and Wilson matched it. Wilson al- so converted both touchdowns to give Goderich a sturdy 20 to 0 lead at half time. In the third period Wilkinson crossed the Wingham goal line on a 5 yard plunge, capping off a brilliant Goderich march 60 RE-ELECT JOHN LONEY in BRUCE Sponsored by the Bruce Progressive Conservative Association Teen Topics BY BRAD GADKE QUESTION; "Now that you have been a grade nine student for several weeks, what do you like most about high school and what do you dislike, or find hard to adjust to?" INTERVIEWER: "On the whole, high school is consider- ed less boring and more inter- esting than elementary school because of different teachers, new subjects and changing classes. Knowing little about the need for education grade nine students merely wish to get the day over with. Here are some of their opinions." 0--0--0 KATHY GREENLY 9A: Finds high school less boring than elementary school; less boring because of new subjects and changing classes. Thinks ac- tivities are very good for get- ting acquainted. Finds home- work harder and takes longer to do, 0--0--0 MARION DOUGLAS 9C: Likes high school because it is not boring, the day is shorter and you spend less time on one subject. Not too much home- work. No complaints. 0--0--0 BARRY DANE 9A: No bou- quets for high school --too much homework; doesn't like some teachers; thinks history and math unnecessary. 0--0--0 IRIS GADKE 9B: Again, no complaints. High school less boring than public school; time goes fast; a lot of homework but not too much. 0--0--0 NORMAN KOSTER 9K; Likes the extra activity period. Dis- likes the confusion, walking in the halls and the short lunch period. DON'T IRRITATE OTHER DRIVERS Rudeness can be contagious anywhere, but in traffic it be- comes highly dangerous. A pedestrian who ambles slowly and deliberately across an inter- section when he could walk at a fast er pace is inviting trouble. He could rile tempers and send motorists on to cause a disaster. A pedestrian who makes a mo- torist angry could well• be guilty of killing. Think of that the next time you start to walk across a street where vehicles are moving or waiting to move. A pedestrian's "rights" could suddenly be his "rites". yards down field. Wilson at- tempted a pass convert which was incomplete. Wilkinson capitalized on the unsteady Wingham defense as he scored two more TDs in the final frame. Both of them were on screen passes from about 20 yards out from Andy Pirie. Wil- son's convert try on one of them was wide and Pirie's attempted pass for the extra point on the other one was incomplete. Wingham's offense came up with two good plays in the final quarter, one on a fake third down kick in which Grant Coul- tes connected with Brian Wald- en on a good pass and they just missed getting the first down. On the other Doug Campbell made a picture catch on aDave Gowing pass and almost broke away from the Goderich de- fenders into open territory. The Mustangs played their final game of the season yester- day against Seaforth. A man in England decided to visit a married couple he hadn't seen for some time. The wife opened the door, "Hello, Maggie, nice to see you," he said, " How's Jim?" "Jim?" she repeated." Didn't you know? 'E's dead, Went down to the garden to pull a cabbage for dinner and as 'e bent down 'e fell dead right there on the spot." "How awful!" exclaimed the visitor, "What on earth did you do?" "Well, what could we do? We had to open a tin of peas!" Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Nov. 4, 1965 -- Page B Scouts Will Tour Maritime Provinces Some 250 Boy Scouts and their leaders from this area will take part in one of Canada's most interesting Centennial pro- jects in the summer of 1967. Detailed plans have been form, ulated for a bus camping tour which will take the boys to Ot- tawa, the World's Fair in Mon- treal and through the province of Quebec and the Maritimes over a period of three weeks. Participating in the history - making trek will be Scouts from the troops within the Saugeen District, of which Wingham is a part. District Commissioner Archie Gowanlock of Walkerton is tour chief and the tour direc- tor is Lloyd Ackert, master of the First Kinloss Troop, Holy - rood, who was one of the Can- adian Scout Leaders at the World Jamboree in Greece two years ago. At the annual meeting of the Saugeen District Council in Holyrood on Wednesday evening Mr. Ackert outlined the itiner- ary for the trip and showed col- ored slides taken while he was making final arrangements as he travelled over the proposed route during the past summer. One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of a $20.00 prize to Scout Harvey McFadden of Cargill, who had submitted the sketch for the crest which has become the of, ficial emblem of the Centen- nial Tour. It depicts a Boy Scout hiking eastward across a map of Canada. The crest will be worn on T-shirts and necker- chiefs during the outing and will be prominently displayed elsewhere as an identifying in- signia. Preliminary applications will go out to all Scouts and lead- ers in the district at the first of the New Year and on the basis of the returns the arrangements for meals, camping equipment, etc. will be based. Total cost of the trip for each participant will be $125. Some Scouts have been setting aside money from their earn- ings for more than a year in an- ticipation of the outing.
