Tv.rirlers win awards
at annual competition
The Wingham Public School
was the scene on Saturday of the °
first annual Valentine's Baton
tviraiin$ competition.
This event was organized some
months ago to give the local Deb -
U Ton majorettes an opportunity
to compete. on a national twirling
level against each other and to
eliminate the high cost of travel-
ling out of town for competition.
More than 125 trophies, 30 baton
pins and 100 certificates were
awarded to the various. winners
of the march and twirling
categories. Everyone who enter-
ed a class won some kind of an
award.
The daytime spectators were
treated to dance and twirling,
flag baton solos and, of course,
The ever -popular fire baton twirl-
ing, besides basic and fancy
marching classes.
A group of 44 contestants re-
turned Saturday evening to take
part in a large pageant, all ung
their best to capture the title of
the division in which they were
entered. To qualify for the titles
each contestant had to perform
various majorette routines, a
routine other than a standard
majorette act (which proved
.delightful and humorous) and
model some type of party attire.
Five-year-old Belly Anderson.
captured the title_of Baton Sweet-
heart. Julie McDonald, 9, won the
Princess of Hearts class.. Lori
Thompson, 13, took the Queen of
Hearts category and Lori Biggin,
who had to compete with twirlers
from the Hanover and Walkerton
areas, won the title of Tri -County
Baton Queen.
A large audience watched the
crowning of the various winners
who also . received trophies, ban-
ners, corsages and certificates.
Trophies were presented to all
those involved and dresser dolls
to the top four models, Trophies
were also awarded the - best
speaker and those giving best un-
usual routine and majorette per-
formance.
Master of ceremonies for the
occasion was Ward Robertson
and judges for the daytime event
were Mrs, Patti Robertson,
Margaret Webb of Cargill and
Lori Biggin of Clinton. Evening
pageant judges were Mr. and
Mrs. Don Vair, Mr. and Mrs.
Dave Cowls and Mrs. Patti
Robertson, director of the local
majorettes.
At the conclusion of the pag-
eant, the majorettes presented
Mrs. Robertson with a large, bou-
quet of roses and a silver bracelet
charm, as a thank -you for her ef-
forts in organizing and hosting
this large event.

The forthcoming Wingham
Midget Tournament, slated this
year for March 15, 16, 17, 22, 23,
and 24, was one of the main topics
of business when the Mothers'
Auxiliary to Wingham Minor
Hockey met Monday evening of
last week,in the arena:
Members decided not to make
sandwiches this year as ovens
have been installed for sub-
marines, •hamburgs, pizzas, etc.,
as well as hot dogs. It was
decided to have some -doughnuts
as well. The roster for those
working in the booth during the
tournament is now being com-
piled, with everyone working a
two-hour shift.
The minutes of the January
meeting were read and approved
and Mrs. E. Saxton gave the
'treasurer's report. It was noted
that Pattison Electric had
donated a used refrigerator for
use in the booth; members of the
auxiliary expressed their thanks
to Mr. Pattison for his kind
gesture.
The booth operation seems to
be going well, although any
mother wishing to volunteer time
in the booth will be gratefully
accepted. Mrs. Lois Schistad is in
charge for the month of Febru-
ary.
Additional outlets have been
installed in the booth for the
ovens. A vote was carried in
favor of the group contributing
toward the expence of a new
sports timer. It was also brought
to their attention that equipment
might be needed for the Tykes.
Mrs. Saxton was appointed to
inquire.
A budget was set up to cover
costs of the Minor Hockey
Banquet at the end of the season,
and details were discussed.
The next meeting will be held
on March 4",at 8:30 at the arena. It
is hoped that all Minor Hockey
mothers will attend.
