The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-10-12, Page 14Pe 4—ili Winitiam AdvanceTImes! Thursday,October 12 ig72 Looking up py John Deneau Ragged purple sweaters were pulled out of closets and beanies, ribbons and buttons abounded as Madill celebrated Purple and White Day last Thursday. This school really does have spirit! One guy, Craig Gilroy, went so far as to put on a pair ot white socks. He said that it look him a half-hour to find them in his drawer. Classes were on a short period schedule for highly anticipated games between Wing - ham and Goderich football teams. Prompted in part by a warning that short -period scheduled days would be discontinued if game attendance was not up, Madill stu- dents appeared in almost full force for the game. The cheerleaders were reinforced by a squad of rather oddly -attired Madill fans who succeeded in arousing some first-class cheering. Over on the bench, some of the players were somewhat puzzled when cheers arose after a Goderich player was tackled after a twenty -yard run. But as someone said, "don't 'knock it; it's a lot better than nothing from over there." It was genuinely encouraging to see Ma- dill students as they were last Thursday. Things are looking up for Madill; they really *are! 4 e , Cross-country teams strong at London By Doug Thomson 13C On Tuesday, October 3, F. E. Madill cross-country team travelled to London to take part, with 21 other schools in a cross- country meet'. Our Senior team ran a superb race and won their division with only 27 points, the sum of the first four placings of the team. Phil Beard was 5th, Paul Heffer was 6th, Paul Moffat was 7th and Jim Dore was 9th. The girls team finished llth and the midget boys were also llth. The junior boys were 9th. Mr. Hunter and these athletes deserve a lot of support because they are involved in one of the most demanding sports our school offers. i DAVE CLELAND with a helmet on backward seems to be getting some prompting to dance from Cheerleader Joanne Thompson.

Ivor we have found her to be a very interesting. and widely travelled person. She was born in Detroit, and when she was small, she and her family moved to a farm outside of Aylmer, Ont. She attended a small country school house and later graduated from Aylnier High School: She then went to work for the airlines in Detroit where she was able to travel over the United States, Hawaii, Eur- ope and Mexico. The "Tug of Canada" brought her back to Toronto where she worked as a secretary in a public school. At this time She thought of teaching because she wanted more responsibility and to do more of her own planning. So, she attended York University. and up until now has obtained eight courses. She is planning to con- tinue in the forthcoming sum - piers to complete degree studies. After moving from Lion's Head where she taught for two years, she finds people of Wingham and the surrounding area very friend- ly and the students quite easy to teach and get to know. She teach- es first and second ear typing as well as first yea office pro- cedures. She really enjoys the outdoors and spends as much time as possible horseback riding, trail biking and badminton. She also likes rug -hooking, movies and reading, but only when the weather does not permit her to participate in outdoor activitieS. • • Try, try, again., By Barb Stanley On Thursday, F. E:* Madill Girls' Basketball teams travelled to Listowel. The juniors got off to a god start and by half time they were leading. In the third guar - ter, something happened! I don't know whether it had anything to do. with that unlucky number 13 or not The final score was 23-13 in Listowel's favour. The seniors got off to a terrific start with a number of long shots - going into the basket. At half time the girls had a fairly good lead, but again in the third quarter something happened. The seniors did manage to get by 13, so they don't have that for an excuse. The final score was 33-19 for Listowel. The next game is at Wingham on Wednesday, October 11. Let's all come out and cheer the girls on to victory, when they give it another try. We receive guidance By Daphne Nabrotzky At F. E. Madill the students are divided into 95 groups with 15 to 16 in each group. This is the first year that Madill has tried this method and is very satisfied with the results. This way the group can get to know people of their own age and discuss problems, common interests, dislikes, likes and their feelings and opinions to one another. In the last few years we had class guidance, where in- stead of a regular period we had a counselorcome in for a guidance session. YkoPas is, the_head guidance director. After these class guid- ance sessions, each had, an indi- vidual interview. We feel that this • year, with the group guidance the . students Will be able to give their opinions more freely. The grade 9 students had Paul Kieffer join in to explain to° them problems or questions they might have had about the Students' Council and Oliibs, Many very "interesting topic were dis- cussed. • Our students enjoy getting counsel and guidance and Madill • is concerned and likes giving it. 41. Students' Council report • By Daphne Nabrotzky On October 4th the. Students" Council and class representatives met in the student 'lounge for a full council meeting. Discussed, and finalized were the plans for the grade 9 banquet which is to be held October 20th. All grade 9's are urged to attend. We also had some money bilis passed by Donna Greer and mo- tions made pertaining to the club budgeting Osten). No club will have its own bank aceOtmt• but will be given a figure and the sum 0 spent will later have ,to balancein the'club's record book. We would like to ask that cashiers of local businesses make sure that.you give the student or teacher a bill or receipt for arti- cles purchased in your store for club use. This will avoid a lot of complications which might arise. The Students' Council is work- ing overtime in trying to make. this 1972 year a success at F. E. Madill Secondary School.
