Wrestlers win at Goderich
BY ANNE OLDFIELD 11A
This week we are proud to
present Mr. Beard, a member
of the technical department.
He was born in a mining town
in the industrial midlands of
England, and there attended
public school and high school.
After this, he became an ap-
prentice pattern maker at an
engineering firm. When World
War II broke out, this occ Ipa-
tion was interrupted.
In 1940, he was involved in
the disaster at Calais and was
taken prisoner there. He spent
the rest of the war years in var-
ious German prisoner of war
camps until he was released in
1945 by the Americans under
General Patton. When he re-
turned to post-war England, he
found it a sapped, deteriorated
country and vastly different
from pre-war England.
In 194'7 he came to Canada
as a skilled craftsman, working
in Toronto and London. Due to
the shortage of technical teach-
ers, he was given the opportun-
ity to teach in 1952 in Kirkland
Lake, and then in Guelph for
six years.
For the last four years, Mr.
Beard has been on the staff of
W.D.H. S. Here he is Techni-
cal Director and he also teach-
es pattern making, wood work-
ing, cabinet and mill working
to boys in grades nine to twelve,
in both the four and five year
courses. He considers the six-
day cycle an improvement as
the boys have more time for
practical shop work in the forty-
five minute periods but finds it
confusing calendar-wise.
He finds students here very
favourable. However, his pet
peeves are students who chew
gum, who leave books which
they know they were supposed
to bring to classes, who make
lame excuses and who have the
ability but will not use it.
(Know anyone, boys?) He has
found teaching in Ontario to be
a challenge since Ontario
schools have been very back-
ward in promoting technical.
education for part of her large
student population until the
1950's and the advent of the
Robart's Plan for Education in
Ontario.
Mr. Beard is married and has
three children. His hobbies in-
cli,de curling, stamp collecting
writing poetry and novels for
his own enjoyment and reading
biographies and adventure stor-
ies, especially about World War
II. In music, he enjoys light
orchestra, musical comedy and
light opera. He believes that
everyone should have a copy of
Centennial Hymn which has
been published and is now on
sale at the Warren House.
Besides his many other ac-
tivities, he has, in his spare
time earned a degree in Eng-
lish and psychology from Water.
loo University. His one dislike
is dishonesty of character for
he believes every man should
be true to himself.
Two mottos that he likes are
"Those who don't prepare for
the future won't have one" and
"To do nothing is to be noth-
ing". His aspiration is to live a
full and useful life, As yet he
has no plans for the future ex-
cept to keep on doing the best
job he can for the good of
technical education in the
school and in Ontario.
For all the students, I say,
"The best of luck in your future
endeavours and thank you for
what you are doing for us now,
Mr. Beard."

Valentine Dance
The Students' Council feels
sure that the Valentine Dance
on Friday evening will be one
of the best attended events of
the year. And you all know
why -- The Thanes are playing!
This simply fabulous band will
play for our dance between en-
gagements in Detroit and Ot-
tawa.
Another attraction will be
the announcement of the cen-
tennial contest winner and the
prize money is worth twice as
much if the winner is at the
dance. Anyone who submitted
a suggestion for the centennial
project just can't afford to stay
home.
The auditorium will be dec-
orated by a committee and re-
freshments will be served.
Everyone out, please, Danc-
ing from 9.30 to 12,30.
Do You Know?
By Judith McDowell 11C
"Do you know," asked a child
to her father one night,
"Why it is that the moon is shin-
ing so bright?"
"No," her father began to say,
It was late, he was tired, he'd
had a hard day.
"Do you know," she demanded,
"what makes the snow fall?"
He sighed and he said, "I don't
know at all."
Deep down he knew that he
could have explained
Why it stormed, why it snowed,
why it sleeted and rained.
Tonight he was tired, as all
other nights,
Too tired and weary to heather
small plights.
And often she wondered, "How
can this be?
My father can never answermel
The girl grew up, her child-
hood done,
And now we find, she has a son.
"Do you know," asked the boy
to his mother one night,
Why it is that the moon is shin-
ing so bright?"
"No," his mother began to say,
It was late, she was tired, she'd
had a hard day.
"Please mother, why don't you
answer me?"
Was the little boy's loving and
questioning plea.
It was then she recalled the days
long ago
When her father would say, "I
don't know, I don't know."
She gazed into her small boy's
eyes,
And at that moment, she real-
ized --
With a loving gesture, she kiss-
ed him and smiled
"Sit down," she said, "and I'll
tell you, my child!"

Jr, Girls'
Basketball
BY JOAN DICKISON
On Thursday, January 26,
the Wingham Juniors played
Goderich. Wingharn opened
the score with a basket in the
first minute, but Goderich seen
obtained the lead and at the
end of the first quarter the
score was 13-2 in the opponents'
favor,
At half time, Goderich still
had the lead of 27-2. Wing-
barn, with, renewed determina-
tion, put up a fight for the ball.
During the third and fourth
quarters they showed their spirit
by their great determination to
win. At the end of the fourth
quarter the score stood at 38-8
for Goderich.
Even though their effort fail-
ed we must congratulate the
girls on their sportsmanship and
playing.

The Juniors journeyed to
South Huron with the intention
of winning and fulfilled this by
defeating the opponents 24-9.
The first quarter started with
Wingham obtaining the lead
which they held at 5-0 until
the end of the quarter. Wing-
ham increased their lead, while
South Huron managed to get 4
foul shots but the Juniors held
the lead and at half-time the
score stood 13-4.
South Huron tried to over-
come our lead but Wingham's
defensive system stopped them
before they got started. As the
final quarter ended Wingham
led 24-9. Because of Wing-
ham's defense South Huron got
their points on fouls.
Top scorers were: Bonnie
Willie 8; Jill McPherson 7;
Barb White 5; Jane Harrison 2;
Barb Hetherington 2.
Total number of fouls again-
st Wingham was 16 while Exeter

fire solution to the horrible trap

cities today. "Simple," he
says. "Just don't let anyone
drive a car until it's paid for."
