E.. Madill officially welcomed the grade nines to our school. Under the supervision of Mrs. Lobb, the Athletic Council did a fine job in conducting games and relays. These activities seemed to have a few added complications. How often have 'you played volleyball, with a sheet hung over the net? The program was then turned over to the Drama Club. This was the highlight of the evening as they produced music, acting and tom foolery as has never been seen on a Madill stage before. Thirteen - Years of School was the opening act. The 13 • things your mother probably told you not to do throughout your school years were demonstrated by Janice Rae; Bev Maize, Sandra Henderson, Janet MacPherson, Debbie Brenzel, Kel- ly Jones, Gail MacPherson, Jack Thompson, Joyce Chamney, Nel- son Underworld, Ainsley Currie, Sally LaVan and Jacinta Kieffer. Next •came a few songs from Kevin Townsend and Robin Brent. If you have ever watched "Hee Haw" you'll know how they performed. Some of the Lucknow Concert Band played a few numbers which certainly aroused the crowd. 'Some kids even got up to jive. "Wilbur the Worm" was the title of a skit presented by Theresa Millen and Marilyn Mur- ray. Even though Theresa's arms were the only thing showing, she was very definitely' there.. Gotta quit kickin my Dog around was the next act. This was done by hillbilly musicians, singers and dancers (we aren't sure where they came from but we'd all be mighty proud to have them come on down to Madill anytime). The grand finale consisted of all, those taking part in the production singing our old school song. Following the ''entertainment a banquet was held in the cafeteria hosted by Mr. Lee. A sock hop was held from 7-8 p.m. in the gym. We extend our warmest welcome to the new,' elithusiastic grade niners - they will 'be a great asset to our school body. A very special thanks to Marilyn Murray and the Drama Club for spending precious time on the production. Also thanks to Mr. Wood; Mrs. Lobb, Henry Olech- 'owski and Mark Tiffin for their hard work and support. That's the Spirit. Questionnaire WHAT •DID YOU THINK OF GRADE NINE NIGHT? Well...1 liked it. •1 thought the games were fun. Nancy Fisher, 9D. I liked the skits but the food was bad. Larry Milosevic, I liked the music. I liked the skit ...especially Nelson Underwood. Steve McKay, 9G. The music was O.K. It was the beSt part of the night. MaiIPassmore, 9H. -By Joan Ross. School Daze Recently at 'Grade Nine Night, Mrs. Lobb proudly'announced that she had given up smoking because of the threat of cancer. Instead, - she took up the practice ofchewing tooth picks, only to find that she contracted Dutch Elm Disease. In ten years from now, even if students can not remember .the theory pounded into their heads during. class, surely they will remember the little lessons of life picked up along the way. One such example happened.in English 551, when the subject of girls' dowries was being discussed. The 'teacher cynically adviSed ,his • students to marry for money. The reason? Money can not bity everything, but it can' sure buy the things that Count. * '* Advanced Chemistry, a subject usually only interesting to those who understand it, has recently been more enjoyable for the majority. In one experiment, of which the purpose was to show the ignition of an element in air, the substance 'was placed on filter °paper on top of 'a large cylinder. Knowing that the reaction took a while the teacher went on with other work. Suddenly the silence of the unusually quiet room was broken by a loud eruption. A startled scream was heard from the vicinity of the back of the room and everyone else jumped. The teacher swung around in time to see, the flaming paper on which • the substance was placed, fly through the air and land.on the floor in front of the desk. 'After a moment's hesitation, he ran to the paper and furiously tried to stamp it out with his feet. Having conquered the now charred ruin, he nonchalantly stated that he knew of something that was excellent for cleaning the scorches off the floor. Club Of The Week THE FILM CLUB Mr. Elgie is the presiding teacher at the film club meetings but as he mentioned, it is not his club, it is the students' club. They must make the club what it is - either. good er bad. Although he gives helpful advice he doesn't dictate the club. Don Thacker is the president of the club. He feels that this year they have a good mixture of all the grades, but regular attendance is needed. They are in need of more members who are willing to come out and have fun, yet contribute something worthwhile to the club. At present the club is working on a film entitled "A Day at School". The members feel this is the biggest project of the year and the most interesting. Near the end of the film they are taking shots of some teachers. So beware! Even though it is only a short film it takes a lot of skill, effort and time to produce one just right. If you are interested in joining there is still time, just to come to room 215 on Tuesday and Thursday nights in activity period and get involved. Mary Anne Alton. Buying Large . Quantities Of Beef With the consumption of beef increasing steadily, the consumer should think about the good and bad points before buying it in bulk. Before you buy beef, make sure your family will eat all the different cuts and kinds of meat. If they only like certain cuts, there is no point in buying large quantities. Less 'tender cuts such as braising' ribs, stewing beef and soup bones can be made into tasty meals at a reasonably low cost if you have the time to cook these cuts at a ,slow rate: If ,yqur family will only eat certain, kinds and cuts, keep your eyes open for specials , on your favourite 'kind of meat. If hamburger is on sale,. buy four or five three pound packages. You can Cut up the meat: later as you need it. • /Another item of concern is the amount of edible meat you are receiving from the carcass. There is usually about 25% of the carcass which is waste material such 'as fat and bones etc. YOu have to paylor the hanging weight of the carcass, not' the amount of edible meat 'by itself. This is very important to remember, 'Weigh the meat after You bring it home to see if you got the weight of the meat you paid for. A hind quarter is the 'Most expensive per pound and a' front quarter is the cheapest per pound.. You also, must Inow the quality of beef yon want. The highest quality is Al which of Course is the highest price. So if you 'don't mind a low quality of beef and more waste (fat and bones) you could save money by buying it. Cutting, wrapping. and freezing costs are usually added onto the price per pound. :Freezer space could be another problem to cope with. You must have facilities to store the beef you have purchased. If the butcher does not freeze the meat remember "you cannot freeze more than fifty pounds of meat in a sixteen: cubic foot freezer in twenty-four hours". If you Tut more, than this in a freezer this size you'are taking the risk of your meat spoiling. In some areas you can pay. to have your meat stored and frOzen • in Meat lockers. For every thirty to forty pounds of frozen meat you need one cubic foot of freezer space. If you' want to save money by buying large quantities, you must Teacher Interview Miss Linner, whose father was in the Airforce, was born in Manitoba but she spent her.

Madill Seco'ndary School be prepared to pay the cost all at once or else you will pay back the money you saved 'in interest. If you have one of your own beasts butchered, be absolutely sure that, you are getting your own meat back because some butchers have been known to exchange the meat for someone' else's meat which is tough and tasteless. One way to make sure your meat is fit for human consumption is to look for the "Canada, Approved" seal. You should also buy beef from a butcher you know. The grades of beef are indicated by cofours. "Red indicates Canada A, Blue Canada B, Brown Canada C and Black Canada D". The best guide to buying beef is . to look into the matter and find out the pros and cons of the plan. Jeff Cardiff.'
