AND HE HIPPETY-HOPPED
. AWAY
On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks .were crowing,
I met a bobtail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
" `Tis in the house and out the
house
a -tipsy, tipsy -toeing,
`Tis round the house and 'bout the
house
a -lightly I am goitig."
"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
" 'Tis eggs of gold and eggs of
blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
" `Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon
eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every hoUse
on bonny Easter day."
He perked his ears and winked
his ee
and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail—what tail he
had -
and stood up on his toes.
"I must be gone before the sun,
the East is growing gray;
• `Tis almost time for bells to
chime." •
So he hippety-hopped away.
Every insured driver pays for
every insured collision. If your..
neighbour wrecks his car., part of.

future premiums. Helping to
keep others out of trouble on the '
roads is more than a matter of
decency, and common sense; it is
also a, question of dollars -and -
cents
self,interest.

Covenant Players
By Sandra Tiffin
The Covenant Players were
hired by the Students' Council to
perform at an assembly several
weeks ago. They are a self-
supporting interdenominational
theatricals group which puts on
their show across Canada and the
United States, with headquarters
in Ancino, California.
The four actors %and actresses
presented several skits of vary-
ing lengths without using sets,
The W .
!fi«�? Advan(ee-
propss or costumes and covered a
variety of subjects such as
human relationships, drugs,
smoking, morality,, commitment
and family problems. Their pro-
gram was diversified and enter=
taining and they had good
audience rapport. All students
seemed to be Iistening °and•
watching, even though in many
cases, they didn't agree with the
message presented. In either
ease, it was a worthwhile show.

Miss Elaine Murphy was the
ghost in Christmas Carol put on
by the Wingham Towne Players,
but she is better known now as
the' lady who pleads every Mon-
day morning assembly for a
monkey. The monkey will have a
starring role in "Inherit the
Wind", a three act play, that will
be produced by the F. E. Madill
Drama Club on May 11, 12,• and
13.
Miss, Murphy, along with Miss
Easton and Miss Hayes, is
helping the club put on their first
drama. Miss Murphy said the
students are all competent and
are prepared to take the.respon-
sibility of putting on the play, so
she is simply co-ordinating peo-

sis should be'on the students. It is
obvious that Steve Jones has left
an impression. The students are
well trained .(for lack of a better
_word) with special mention to the
lighting crews, set designers, the
"props", the wardrobe commit-
tee, the publicity people and the
make-up people who do excellent
work.
There are over a hundred stu-
dents in the drama ciuir—in,
around, and behind the scenes:
The turn -out for the roles was
good and there will be about= 40
actors in this production.
As, for next year folks, the
executive and the rest of the
drama club are training the
• future leaders to•take over when
the older members will disappear
after graduation.
,Miss Murphy was born in Mel-
bourne, Australia and directed a
play at 'Flemington High School
there. She likes Canada ,and has
no definite plansfor the future. In
closing, "Good Luck" to Miss
Murphy and the Drama Club. Oh,
and "Break a Leg" eh?

The Drama Club members
were seen laboriously acting out
their scenes for the next produc-
tion of "Inherit the Wind" last
week during the holidays. Many„
who were expected, didn't show
up for various reasons and the
replacements turned this serious
drama into a farsical comedy.
We are sure that when we see it
for the first time on stage, it will
be a great success.

DHAMA 1964
For years our school had made
many attempts to produce a suc-
'*cessful variety concert. .How-
ever, the format was always the.
.same or similar and therefore no
great crowds attended.
Finally, concerned by the con-
tinual lack of success of these
ventures and desirous to try
something more challenging,
many students and several staff
members met on December 12,
1968 to discuss the future of the
"concert". This meeting was
really the beginning of the
present Drama Club.
In February 1969 a majority of
the group decided to produce a
play, called "Some Funny Things
Happened on the Way to Gradua-
tion", written by Anne Oldfield, a
grade 13 student. Though we did
not have the best facilities for
play production, we did have
much enthusiasm which°was, and
still is, a key part of our group.
Anne's play ,was not written in
the, variety concert format but
did contain'much variety. Some
sections were deliberately
written in to give groups in the
school a chance to participate.
The diligent work and hearty
co-operation of many; many
people made "Some Funny`
Things" possible and established
the roots of the Drama' Club
which would boast of 'no "gap"
between teachers and students.
DRAMA 1970
After the success of the 1969
production, the group searched
for something even more
challenging. We decided, after
some delay, to attempt John Pat-
rick's "The Teahouse of the Aug-
ust Moon". Following numerous
auditions, the major cast of Sak-
ini (Blake Ferguson), Purdy
(Ron Sillick), Fishy (John Den -
eau), Lotus Blossom (Hilary
Hay), Gregovich (Joe Phelan)
and MacLean (Charley Exe1)
was chosen- This cast plus thirty
supporting players, costumed by
our diligent wardrobe girls, were
directed by a staff -student direct-,
ing team : J. H. Wilson, S. A.
Jones, Janice Carter, Nancy
Gowing and Neil Graham.
The audience will always re-
member the hilAarious fight scene,
where Hokaida, the overwieght
police chief, (Bill Snow) , battled
Mr. Seiko (Brian Miller).
Kathi Krauter and David Bal-
ser designed and built the sets,
which everyone agreed, were
highlights of the productiop. . .
particularly the teahouse itself.
"Teahouse" succeeded in
many ways: Everything meshed,
together as students -and staff
worked indefatigably• to produce
an excellent ,show, . and to es-
tablish drama even more
strongly as one of the top ac-
tivities at the school.
DRAMA 1970-71
'September 1970 brought a new
school year and -new' drama
plans. A poll taken early in the
year indicated interest in at-
tempting more than one produc-
tion. Trying to achieve a high
level of student involvement, the
group decided to but on three one -
act plays in December, and to
wait until inspiration struck be-
fore making plans for the spring
of '71.
The --details , of these perfor-
mances are too numerous to
mention, but one highlight should
be noted: "The Sandbox" was en-
tered in a regional drama festival
held at 'Goderich in March, 1971.
The play came a very close sec-
ond in this competition, and Anne
Welwood received the best act-
ress award. L Iter March,
"The Sandbox" was presented at
the student exhibition and drew a
large and enthusiastic crowd:
What to do as a major produc-
tion still had to be resolved. Out
of a muddleof good, bad and use-
less notions, we picked James
Thurber's classic story, "The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty" as
the basis for what we would at,.
tempt... a student=written play.
The play involved music. The
school choir, under the direction
of Mrs. M. Douglas and.' Pat
Sparks was integrated with the,
drama club. This arrangement'
was beneficial for both groups.
Highlights? Many, of most out-
standing were the operation
scene, featuring David Frank's
"anesthetizer", the saloon scene, .
complete with bottles, broads and
brawl!

Overseas vacation
By Brian Keith
Last week saw the culmination
of 11 months of planning by Dan
Stuckey of F. E. Madill Second-
ary School in two voyages he has
organized. Two trips were of-
fered in the March holidays by
Ship's School Association of To-
ronto --one to Rome, and one to
London and Paris. The response
was encouraging for both' ven-
tures; a total of 27 students put
their noses to the grindstone to
procure finances.
Mr. Stuckey was the leader of
the London -Paris group. Adding
to his confusion were Mrs.
Stuckey and Joanne Sutcliffe
from Wingham; Don Gibson, Jim
Oldfield, Bob Thomas from Brus-
sels; Brian Keith, Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Henderson and Mary Eliza-
beth, Mrs. Rose Robb and Mar-
jorie Thompson from Lucknow;
Diane and Sandra Kempton,
Sharon MacNay from Amberley;
Bill Bissonette, Mrs. Marian
Emerson from Ripley; Kendra
Donaldson, Heather Johann from
Teeswater and Mrs. Marie Doug-
las from Wroxeter.
The group left from Toronto In-
ternational Airport Friday for
Paris to spend three days sight-
seeing. On Wednesday they
transferred to London for three
days of touring and living it up.
At the same time, Mr. Emery
Stuckey led a smaller group of
students on a week's vacation :in
Rome. On that trip were Brenda
Kennedy, Brenda Leahy, Ron Sil-
lick, Steve Donaldson, Wayne
Millen, and Terry McGlynn from
Teeswater, Jim Scott from Rip-
Jey, and Mr and Mrs. Jack Kopas
of Wingham.
I'm sure they .all enjoyed, it!
