The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-01-26, Page 5BY KERRY STUCKEY
One of the most familiar
faces around the school is that
of Mr. E. Stuckey.
Mr. Stuckey was born in
Grand Valley. Heeding the ad-
vice of the gentleman who said,
"Go west, young man" , he re-
ceived his public school educa-
tion in Saskatchewan. Coming
back to Ontario, he obtained
his schooling at Grand Valley
and Orangeville. At the Uni-
versity of Toronto he specializ-
ed in mathematics and physics.
1'4 '. Stuckey was away from
teaching for awhile when he
was office manager at Fry and
Blackhall but he returned in
1953 to W.D.H.IS. He is now
head of the Commercial De-
partment and teaches office
practice, bookkeeping, busin-
ess machines and business math.
He finds teaching interesting
and enjoyable -- never dull,
perhaps because of the associa-
tion with young people who
have a zest for living.
Mr. Stuckey finds the school
system very satisfactory and he
thinks the 6-day cycle is an
improvement. He considers the
whole atmosphere of the school
is healthy — there is a good re-
lationship between the staff and
students. He says, "The stud-
ents are a pretty serious lot as a
whole. Many could, and
should, work harder and discov-
er their capabilities by going
all out."
He has had little time lately
for hobbies or outside interests,
but he is interested in art, cer-
amics, travelling and camping
by tent trailer (of which he
hopes to do more), golf, etc.
His only pet peeves are stud-
ents who don't exert themselves
and "students who interview
their own parents".

Paul Fleury 11B: The skits
are good as long as they have
been rehearsed so that the play-
ers know when their lines come.
Some of them are pretty sick,
Teacher participation in the
skits is the best.

Mac MacLeod 13: There
should be less skits because the
ones they have now are pretty
sick. More variety like sing-
ing, dancing and getting the
teachers into the act such as
toilet paper unrolling would
make it more interesting.

have been pretty bad lately be-

Boys' basketball
BY DON RAE
Last week the boys journey-
ed to Stratford Central and re-
turned with two losses. The
city teams proved that they
were better. The scores are
better left out.
The juniors played first and
for a while it looked as though
they might have their second
victory, but then the Stratford
boys started to score and they
never looked back.
At the start of the senior
game, it looked like it could
have turned out to be a close
battle. It was in the second
quarter that the game was real-
ly lost. Our boys were held
down to a very small number of
shots, only a few of which went
through the net. It was felt by
all that the seniors played bet-
ter basketball but their opposi-
tion was far superior to that of
last week.
This week they will be look-
ing forward to their first victory
as they journey to Goderich.

Sr. girls'
basketball
BY SALLY GALBRAITH
The Senior Girls' basketball
team played a very exciting
and thrilling game against Strat-
ford Central last Friday. In the
first quarter Stratford was lead-
ing 4 to 2. In the second quar-
ter 4 points were gained in
Wingham's favour, leaving a
score of 6-6 at half time. Both
teams then went into the third
quarter rarin' to go and the score
went up to 17-13 in Stratford's
favour,
They were only 4 points
ahead which isn't any lead at
all, but in the fourth quarter
the Wingham girls couldn't
seem to get their baskets in and
Stratford won by 23-13.
Top scorers of the game were
Sharon Reavie 5, Mary Finlay-
son 3, Wendy Ireland 2, and
Sharon Willie 1,
It was a close game and
could have gone either way.
Although the girls didn't quite
win they played like a team
and tried their best. So you
keep cheering and next time
they'll win. BARBARA HETHERINGTON

Early Saturday morning the
Wingham wrestlers, under the
leadership of Mr. Gnay, travel-
led to Listowel for their first
meet this season. All wrestlers
weighed in and the fights start-

We captured only one cham-
pionship and that was by Ray
Cronin in the 106 lb. class.
This was his first meet and he
is to be congratulated. "Great
work, Ray." Credit also goes
to Lee McGuire and Jamie
Douglas who got into the finals
but were just beaten to get sec-
ond spot.

FRIDAY'S MEET
On Friday the Mustang wrest-
lers outdid themselves by wal-
loping St. Marys 46-10. The
Mustangs got off to a roaring
start by winning the first six
matches, four of which were
pins and two decisions. After
losing one match they came

back again with two more pins.
Then after a heartbreaker at
168 pounds the Mustangs finish-
ed off the two heavyweights in
pins.
After this great showing
against one of their rivals in
Huron-Perth the Wingham boys
are even more hopeful of bring-
ing the championship here when
