"The schools are larger now and offer many more interests. Cer- tainly all students should have a much better chance as there is such a variety of courses to suit everyone's needs and abili- ties." She finds that working with young people helps a person to be more tolerant of the teen- age fads, for example the short skirts, back-combed hair and overly-worked make-up, Her outside activities are limited by time. However, she enjoys sewing when she has time and is interested in inter- ior decorating. The highlight of her life is in her family. Mrs. Lockridge has no gripes but_feels students should realize , the OppOrTullITY iiiey ha've take advantage of it. Recreation Corner By KEN BENJAMIN Boys' basketball BY DON RAE This week the boys played two games. On Tuesday Exeter came to Wingham and on Thurs- day, Wingham went to St. Marys. The juniors played first on both days. Against Exeter, they fared well and edged the South-Huron team 46-44. Bill Skinn was high scorer for that game with 21 points. The sen- iors didn't do quite as well but they did manage to have the closest game thus far. Exeter beat them 44-42. Doug Mow- bray scored 21 points. In St. Marys the juniors had another close game only it was not in their favor as St. Marys won 33-28. The seniors were facing a team which had not won a game until then. St. Marys won 40-27, leaving Wingham with the only perfect record in the league. The sen- ior game was truly a battle and belonged on a football field, not on a basketball court. At half-time the score was 25-22 but the third quarter, which is the slack quarter for Wingham in most games, led to a St. Malys victory. This week the boys play Stratford Northwestern in Wing- ham. A double victory for Wingham would give the juniors a play-off spot and the seniors a seasonal record of one win and five nice tries. Sr. girls' Basketball BY SALLY GALBRAITH The senior girls played an exciting game against St. Marys last Thursday. At the end of the first quarter neither team had scored. Then at half time Wingham had a five point lead on St. Marys. In the third quarter both scores went up and it ended up with Wingham ahead by 3 points. The seniors went into the fourth quarter bound and determined to win and so they did! Wingham's score was double that of St. Marys' which was achieved by their hard work and team co-operation. Scorers of the game were Rennae McKenzie, Sharon Wil- lie, Sharon Reavie and Linda Chisholm. PLAY EXETER The seniors played Exeter a week ago last Thursday and what a game it was. At the end of the first quarter Wing- ham was ahead 5-2, We still held the lead at half-time 9-7. Then came the third quarter which usually isn't our best guar-• ter, for some reason, and Ex- eter took the lead 19 to 11. The most exciting quarter of all was the fourth in which Wingham scored 17 points. We would tie Exeter and then they would come back and get a few more points, It went on like this until there was less than a minute to go and the score was 28-28. But we lost because in this time Exeter scored, leav- ing a final score of 30-28. Scorers of the game were Mary Finlayson, Sharon Reavie, Sharon Willie, Rennae McKen- zie and Wendy Ireland, Theory: A hunch with a col- lege education. Valentine dance Last Friday night the stud- ents at W P.1-1. S. were treated to the marvelously mad music made by the Thanes at the Valentine's Dance, The gym- nasium was suitably decorated in red and white streamers and red cupids. There was a very good crowd in attendance and everyone (we trust) enjoyed themselves immensely. The winners of the centen- nial suggestion contest were Mary Czemiawski who won 1st prize for her bright idea of a Centennial water fountain and Mark Fisher was second for his suggestion that the Student Council arrange a trip to Expo '67. A note of warning to stud- ents who park on neighbouring property: "Please do not': This causes us inconvenience and is very bothersome to those people who live near the high school. The next Student Council dance will be held some time in April so start planning now to attend.

Curling BY LARRY MCDONALD 11F On February 10 and 11 the W. O. S. S. A. curling bonspiel was held in Sarnia. The Wing- ham boys' team represented the school but the boys couldn't get working together in a team. Friday evening we were defeat- ed by London Westminster in a close game, and we then drop- ped into the consolation round. Bright and early Saturday we faced Aylmer and were met by another defeat. The trophy was won by Strat- ford Central for the girls and by Sarnia for the boys. Although we lost this year there was an inspiring sigh from the coach, "Next year, boys". Envious Guest: "Look here, waiter; I've got a complaint. That fat guy over there got a steak twice as big as mine. Where's the manager?" Wise Waiter: "Sitting right at that table, sir. That fat guy IS the manager." BY LINDA LOCKRIDGE Mrs. Lockridge, teacher of the practical subjects for the Diversified Occupations class, began her education in Howick. Here, she attended a small pub- lic school for eight years, then graduated to Wroxeter Continu- ation School where she spent four years. She received her grade thirteen at our own school, Wingham High. "It was very small compared to the school now, having only four- teen students in the class and eight teachers." She taught public school in Morris Township, then gave up teaching for eleven years when she married. Her interest in the profession was aroused again and she attended Ontario Col- lege, of-Edtcation. 1.This.is.her third year for teaching at Wing- ham District High School. Mrs. Lockridge finds that Drama Club This year the Drama Club is proud to announce two splendid plays, "The Storm" by Donald Payton, and "The Happy Jour- ney" by Thornton Wilder. Both plays are one-act dramas and both are to be staged at the Variety Concert on February 16 and 17. This centennial year, the club is under the skilled leader- ship of Miss J. Small (who is a lot of fun, believe you me I) and Mr. S. Jones (who works hard), both of the English De- partment, plus Steve Gorrie, the chairman of the club, who helps out in the background. "That's a nice looking hat you got there, mister." "Yes, sir, and you might not believe it but that hat is 10 years old. I've worn it almost constantly, too. I dropped it in the river once, had it cleaned and block- ed only once in the 10 years and swapped it twice in a res- taurant." MIDGET SERIES After dropping Walkerton easily with two straight wins 12-2 and 11-1, the midgets are looking for a rough series with Kincardine. In the first game, three Kincardine goals in over- time gave them a win after the score was tied 4.4 at the end, of regulation time. If the local, team can come up with a win.• the third and deciding game will be played at the local arena Thursday at eight o'clock 0--0--0 At London the YM/YWCA are staging a one-day training session for instructors or poten- tial instructors in synchronized swimming Drama club workshops are being held Febru- ary 24 to 26 and March 3 to 5 at the Wingham town ball. Fee is $2.50 March 10-12 is the date for the Art Course be- ing held at Owen Sound... Also in Owen Sound, a course in Flower Arranging is being stag- ed March 17 to 19. Anyone interested in any of these courses can get more in- formation from Ken Benjamin, recreation director, at 357- 3550, 4 BY RENNAE MACKENZIE Mr. Willis was born in South London, England and received part of his primary education there. He moved to Canada in 1940, the first year of the Sec- ond World War. On comple- tion of his public schooling in Toronto, he moved back to London, for his secondary school education. After gradu- ating he spent two years in the Royal Navy and two years at the Royal Agriculture College. He then apprenticed in the auto- mobile trade in Britain, came to Ontario to finish his appren- ticeship and stayed here to work. Wishing to teach, he enter- ed the Ontario College of Edu- cation at Toronto. He then came to Wingham where he is inItis fourth year of teaching Auto mechanics to the boys of grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. He enjoys his job because he finds it much more challenging to work with humans than with motors. Comparing Canada with Brit- ain, Mr. Willis feels our sys- tem of teaching "shop" is much superior and more advanced. He feels the new six-day cycle is a great improvement over the old system because it allows more practical working time for the students. Mr. Willis finds the students of W.D.H.S. are on the whole, a good group of clean-cut, hon- est, and hard-working kids. His outside interests include swimming, 5BX when he has time, chess, photography, his wife, and his two boys. He is also in charge of the school's camera club. His greatest dis- likes are graft and corruption. Mr. Willis' motto is this: "Si to satis alte ascendis sol semper incalescet". -- If you get up high enough the sun is always shining. It is with pleasure the stud- ents of W.D.H.S. wish Mr. Willis success in his aspiration -- to be an excellent teacher. Trip to Expo '67 At last, after many months of relentless pursuit by the Stud- ent Council and Mr. Madill, a trip to Expo is being arranged. It is hoped that the students will leave about Sunday night, June 18, by train for Montreal and spend two days there. Those going will probably be billeted in dormatories at $5.00 a night. This is to aid the chaperones in their job and keep costs down. This trip is financed by the students themselves and will cost approximately $60,00, give or take, depending on what the individual spends. Be- cause of the large number of students expected to register for the trip, only those from grades 11, 12 and 13 will be allowed to go. It will be necessary to receive parental consent before the student may go and certain rules concerning conduct will be laid down. These measures are essential because of the responsibility involved. It is hoped that as many students as possible will bene- fit from the experience. Minor hockey action, the Mew Tyke hockey school MOW in its fifth week and the young players, axe all improving very nicely, There is still room for any boy from five to seven on the teams, Four teams will, be picked this week and practices will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from five to six o'- clock. BANTAMS ELIMINATED Kincardine dropped our ban- tams two straight in the play- offs by scores of 12-2 and 5-2. Over the season the bantams had a good season and coach Steve Gorrie deserves credit for a job well done, PEEWEES TIED The local peewees evened their series with Mount Forest with a 6-4 win on Monday night after dropping the first game by a 3-1 score. The third game will be played Friday at 7 a.m. in Wingham. SQUIRTS The squirts are tied in the series with Mitchell after a5-2 win in the first game and a 3-1 loss in the second. FOUR OF THE FIVE individual champions at the Huron-Perth wrestling competition last week were Rae trarlill, 98 lbs.; Norm Corrin, 168 lbs.; Doug Gibson, 183 lbs., and Laery Brooks, 115 ibt, Lee McGuire, champion, in the unlimited trait was miss. trig when the picture was taken. —Advance Times Photo.
