Teaching on the F. E. Madill
gym staff is the first permanent
job held by Mr. Simmons, al-
though he has been a supply
teacher in London. He likes the
atmosphere in a rural area much
better than that in a city and he
feels that the kids here- have
generally better fitness emotion-
ally as well as physically as a
result of the training they are put
through with farm work. How-
ever, he is rather disappointed
with our school spirit and he
would like to see better at:.
tendance and more cheering at
school games. He feels the teach-
ers should be contributing as
much as the students. Mr. Sim-
mons hopes to bring a few
changes to our P. E. curriculum
and he has already helped to ar-
range co-educational dance and
health classes. He feels this gives
a better social outlook; it doesn't
do much good teaching girls to
dance with other girls.
Born in Toronto, he attended
Etobicoke High Schoql. He then
Up the .States
I am a Canadian. I believe that Canada
is the most beautiful and most cultured
country in the world. In my eyes, we are also
the most powerful: When a person thinks of
power he thinks of armies, money and force,
but Canadian power is people. We have what
it takes to build a country, and our, country
will soon be dominant over all the other•
countries, including the oligarchy in the Uni-
ted States. According to this statement I am
a smug self-righteous Canadian.
• I, also, have been reading the news-
papers for the last ten years which is a far
cry from Gordon Sinclair's sixty,,but in fifty
more years perhaps myviewswill change.
• When I think of the United States, 1 picture la
country of riots, murders, scandals and war.
With thii,\as a platform, ,how can I or any
other Canadian person, feel anything but a
'strong dislike for American .people„
Gordon Sinclair speaks repeatedly of the
;�tir�ie5frtyjt wi1S.
with he��u�' o`fni�l�t'any of these
reign
countries p•
times were they asked to do so? Through my
knowledge of history it appears.that a large
percentage of their aid resulted in their own
personal gain. He also .emphasizes the
troubles that Americans are suffering today.
It for once they would get off their high ..
pedestal and ask for help, maybe they would
receive it. H,e tells us of the bankruptcies of
the American Red Cross, the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the New York Central and of
the flooding of the rich, bottomland of the
Mississippi, then very ironically he. des-

attended the University of West,
ern Ontario for two years, where.
he played varsity hockey as well
as participating in other sports
although not at the varsity level.
He decided to teach P.E. because
he feels that is what he is the
most competent at and if you
don't enjoy what you're doing you
won't be as good at it. In June he
will have been married three
years, but he has no children. •
He would like to see more
sports clubs such as judo or arch-
ery but he feels too much of the
responsibility for sports falls on
the P. E. teachers. There are ap-
proximately 60 teachers in our
school'and only a few of them are
putting forth much of an effort to
help, as all activities need staff
advisers and leaders. In closing,
Mr. Simmons said that he is
looking forward to coaching the
football team next year and we
hope he will have great success
with this as well as all his other
plans for our school.

MIRROR GUEST EDITORIAL
BY JANIS OHM
To me this is an excellent example of the
stupidity of our neighboring country. If they
can spend millions putting a man on the
moon then why should foreign countries send
money to build up American enterprise?
Now, reading over Gordon Sinclair's
editorial, I get every strong impression that
the American people are the only ones cap-
able of producing airplanes, buying bonds
and constructing dams. It appears that the
rest of the world, especially Canadians, are
no more than stuffed :toys controlled and
mended by our Lords, thee: Americans.
l think it's about time -the world spoke up
and broke the chains binding us to the United
States. As people of the world, and as
Canadians, we are the ones that hold the key.
Let's hear it for Canada. There's no
better time than the, present to let the
