Bar assembly
BY PAT WALKER
On Tuesday, December
5th, a bar assembly was held
at the school. There may be
some misunderstanding about
a bar assembly. I quote Mr.
Campbell: " A bar assembly
sounds as though there is a bar
across the front of the stage
and we serve drinks." This is
not true. At a bar assembly
the coaches of various activi-
ties give bars to those who have
earned them, and if the person
has received one before they
get points for taking part in
that particular activity.
Bars given out at the as-
sembly were:
Cross-country, coached by
Mr. Stuckey. This team did
well this year placing first in
Junior, Intermediate and Senior
positions at Huron Perth and
also they placed 1, 3, and 5
at WOSSA.
Golf team, Don Rae, Bar-
rie Conron, Gary Bauer, Jim
Henderson.

sented by Mr. Gnay.

Holly beliefs
The early Druids decorated
their halls and homes with
boughs of holly as a welcome
to spirits threatened by frost
and winter winds. Britons
considered it unlucky to bring
holly into a house before
Christmas Eve and a variation
on this belief held that the
type of weather at the time
the holly was brought into the
home determined who would
rule the house in the months
ahead -- if fair, the wife
would rule, if bad, the hus-
band would hold sway.

Of the Mustang wrestling squad.
Once more in the hallowed
halls of W.D.H.S. men of all
sizes and weights find their
way to the wrestling mats
where they proceed to train,
diet, and grind their way
through another grueling sea-
son. These men are dedicated
to their work. Only determina..

twenty pounds in one or two
months, then force himself to
give out all the strength he has
in a period of six minutes,
which to anyone else is not
Very long but to a person who
is getting his face rubbed into
a mat, his arms and legs twist-
ed in all directions and his
skill tested to the full extent,
it is a very long time. Take

are now wrestling for this may

them without mat burns on
their faces.
Once the season gets into
full swing the dieting gets
stricter and the thin, pale but
wide awake student who was
once well fleshed and satisfied
will be eyeing you as you eat
your full course meal at school
while he, very slowly, chews
on his piece of carrot or celery.
The hard and long practices
that he goes through day after
day, mould him into the kind
of Huron Perth, WOSSA and
All Ontario winner that you,
the students, expect him to be.
After reading this you
might wonder why he gives up
food, time and sometimes
Friday nights with his girl just
to beat an opponent on the
mats, This question can only
be answered by the sense of
acheivement and satisfaction
a wrestler gets when, exhaust-
ed and tired he leaves the mats
a winner. He has by his own
strength out witted and out
wrestled a man of supposedly
equal ability, a feeling that
makes all the weeks of suffer-
ing worthwhile.

BY JEAN BROWN 10A
This fall Wingham wel-
comed another member of the
teaching profession to our halls
of learning.
Mr. Sturgis was born in
Tillsonburg and received his
earlier education in Norwich
and at Woodstock Collegiate.
After graduating from the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario he
did post graduate work at the
University of Toronto.
Mr. Sturgis has found that
the students of Wingham tend
to be more responsible than stu-
dents he has taught in cities.
He believes this is because ap-
proximately half of our students
come from farms where respon-
sibility is taken for granted.
During his career he has
taught many subjects in many
schools. For a number of years
he taught in Exeter. Most of
the schools he has taught in
were in small towns. He feels
that people in small towns are
friendlier than those in cities
and make it harder for one to
feel lonely.
He has taught more French
and English classes than other
subjects. This year he is teach-
ing grade 12 English. He likes
teaching higher grades better
than grades nine and ten for he
feels unable to cope with them,
He now considers teaching
almost a hobby. He only
teaches a few periods a day and
will be leaving the school at
ChristMas. His popularity was
shown when pupils gave such
threats as, "If he leaves, I
quit.", after being told of his
leaving.
He enjoys playing classi-
cal music and reading current
novels -- to keep up with the
present generation. He be-
lieves people, as they grow
older, should keep as active as
possible, physically and Ment-
ally. He feels many tend to
forget that this is their respons-
ibility.
The most important things
in his life are his friends of
Many years, and his grand-

curling once again began for
another season. This activity
takes place in the curling rink
On the Main street of Wingham,
after school hours. Mr. Camp-
bell instructed the basic prin-
ciples of curling: how to pick
up the rock (if you can pick it
up) without throwing your back
out; how to throw the rock
without cracking the ice; and
the turns. Anyone who wishes
to play house league curling
contact Mr. Campbell.

It's that time of the year
again. NoMinations have been
made for positions on Students'
Council and elections will be
held before Christmas. Cam-
paign managers are out in full
force putting up posters and
pushing their candidates, The
managers and their candidates
made their speeches on Mon-
day.
Wrestling matches between
schools are held usually when-
ever there is a basketball game
at the school. Wrestlers, like
any other sports participators,
fight harder when there is a
crowd cheering them on so if
you're not a basketball fan or
if you really want to see a
game of skill , action, strength
and excitement, make sure you
are present at the wrestling
meets in the following months.
For years basketball has
achieved most of the recogni-
tion from the students and they
deserve it for they do a great
deal of work, but with the Mus-
tang wrestlers in top shape and
led by the greatest wrestling
coach ever to hit W.D.H.S.,
Mr. Gnay who guilt the team
up from nothing to Huron Perth
and almost WOSSA champs
last year, it's about time we
heard some voice and enthus-
iasm to the men who fight, in
the true sense of the word, for
the recognition of W.D.H.S.
as the best in the Huron Perth
conference.
children.
What will come after
Christmas for Mr. Sturgis?
Only he knows this, but we
wish him the best of luck, and
hope he will remember with a
smile his four months with us.
