SENIOR VOLLEYBALL
The Senior Girls' Volleyball
coach, Mrs. Wilhelm, comment-
ed that the season was slow get-
ting started but it improved.
Volleyball is a thinking game.
The team played very good
volleyball and had the skills to
win but couldn't play well under
pressure. We overcame our fears
and we played some very close
battles. Madill was the best at the
invitational meet here and the
coach said that she was very
pleased.

JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL
Mrs. Shaw, the Juniors' coach
said that the Juniors had mo-
ments of good playing but their
inexperience showed through.
The Juniors also had problems
playing under pressure but by the
end of the season they were play-
ing better. Each member of the
team improved her skills but they
didn't click as a team. On the
whole Mrs. Shaw was proud of
the girls.
Mrs. Shaw has organized a

Turnb err y
Courier
Ross Baird from Grade 8 went
from classto class last Friday
and showed.a braver to the stud-
ents. The rodent was caught in
Turnberry Township, weighed 45 w i ed _
pounds, and was four feet long.
The childiden'' foueh d the:'ani-
mal's thick fur and peculiar tail.
A lot of questionswere asked by
the pupils.
"Energy Crisis!" This was the
topic the grade 7 students in Mr.
Harrison's class wrote essays
about.. In their assignment. the
students examined, analyzed,
and drew conclusions about Can-
ada's energy situation. Let it be a
reassurance to us that • most es-
says were quite optimistic con-
cerning • our future oil, natural
gas, and coal supplies:
Heather, McInnis of grade 3
wrote the following story: "Once
when I was going through the
Woods I'saw an elephant between
two trees. So I went over to the
elephant and asked him what was
wrong. But all the elephant did
was pick me up with his trunk
and put me behind him and he
said, "Push me out from between
the two trees". But as soon as I
started to get the elephant out I
began to sneeze and I sneezed so
hard I blew the elephant out from
between the two trees. The ele-
phant was so happy he ran to me.
But he did not get there. Do you
know what happened to the ele-
phant? He got stuck again so I
ran home, got the saw and cut
down the trees. The elephant ran
away and was very happy. And
that was the way the elephant got
out from between the two trees".
Last Saturday the annual
bordenball tournament was held
at the F. E. Madill Secondary
School. Both the girls' and boys'
teams played very well even
though they ,didn't make the top
spot. The Turnberry girls placed
second overall and the boys
finished third in their class.
Sheila Wacker and Ross Baird,
goalies for the two teams, did an
excellent job trying to keep the
balls out.
Something exciting happened
in Mrs. McIntyre's kindergarten
class on March 4th when pupils
sent the following report:
"Everyone is happy to see
Sandra Thompson walk with her
new braces. We are going to have
a party for her today. We are go-
ing to make a cake and ice it. The
icing will be white. Isn't this a
nice way to celebrate?"
