Long live Spain --- a beautiful country, with beautiful people and a beautiful culture (even though we did, get robbed a few tunes). Thirty-eight students and adults boarded a bus at F. E Madill at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, March 15, for the.airport at Niagg. ars Falls, New York. Our flight was to leave at 6:00 New York Time and fly direct to Malaga, Spain. We arrived in Spain about 0:30 in the morning, to be met by a warm Mediterranean breeze, palmero trees gently waving and. the fresh smell of spring every- where. Some of us got.off to a bad start, being awake almost thirty hours already and Janet . Bishop • misplacing her travellers' cheques. Now would have been a good time to sleep, but with that "heated" pool waiting for Us be- hind our hotel, Cruz del Sur, we just couldn't take time to rest. The hotel was in Benalmedena and we toured the village for the rest of the day, with a walk along the Mediterranean. Some, I'M • sure caught an afternoon siesta; Dinner in Spain wasn't served until about 9:00 o'clock, and by that time we were ready for a typical , four -course meal, ,- though Spanish . food does take some getting used to. The next few days included a tour of Mijas, a little mountain village; a visit to the historic Alhambra; and a trip to the mag- nificent caveS`of Nerja. The bull- fight proved to be very exciting and soon we became as sadistic as the Spanish, joining in with the "Ole!" to cheer the young mat- adors. Tangiers, North Africa, was a trip to remember. Some of us will SPORTS SENIOR B41 DMINTON On.M_ onda ,. A evil` is A P.p. Ma- d"ili's senior lio"dinintonteam travelled to Listowel to par- ticipate in the Huron -Perth Tournament. F. E. Madill placed 7th out of nine schools. The Lis- towel team placed first, winning both boys' singles and boys' doubles. Stratford- Central won the mixed doubles and girls' singles while Central Huron won the girls' doubles. Outstanding players for the Madill team were Jim4 Ritter, boys' \singles, winning two matches, and Karen Gal- braith and Janet Bishop, girls' doubles, also winning two mat- ches. JUNIOR BADMINTON On Wednesday, April 17, the Junior team participated in 'Huron -Perth in Listowel. Com- petition, being very strong, the F. E. Madill team placed last out of nine schools. Once- again, Lis- towel placed first. The Junior teal, however, produced a good effdrt, considering the fact that this was the first year for all but one of the players. Outstanding players on the . Junior team were David Ritter and Robbie Frank. As hosts of the 1975 Huron -Perth Championship, Madill "will" avenge this year's losses or so saith the coach, Mr. Brewster. JUNIOR BOYS (GYMNASTICS During the week of exams, the junior boys' gymnastics team travelled to Stratford Central S. S. for the Huron -Perth Cham- pionship. The F. E. Madill team fared quite well against the strong competition. In the high bar event, Mike Heim placed sec- ond, while Randy Leno took fifth place. In free calisthenics, Francis Mahe placed fourth, Brian Cooper fifth, Jamie Arm- strong Sixth and Tom Callahan ON, TO /• Mr. Stuckey, the co-ordinator of the school trips, is hoping for two school trips next year; a cold weather ski trip to the Pyrenees and a hot weather trip to Hawaii, Jamaica or a similiar country. Mr. Stuckey hopes to have a price as low as possible. It is interest- ing to note that these trips are available to any interested parties. 0-0-0 I'm sure I speak for hundreds when I say I am relieved to re- turn to a regular schedule after the strain of writing examination and ...

We could have leftt. Patsy Caslick behind for a few thousand camels and received a good price for Barb Stapieton's heir,. .. The men of Tangiers, would have liked to add Me Canadian ,girls to their harems and Mr. Stuckey • seemed to like the idea of trading his "daughters" for herds of camels or perhaps good leather suitcases. However, Dale Walden -and the other guys from Wing- ham did their best to protect us. One of our guides had recom- mended good night clubs for Can- adian girls to go to: so the dis- cotheques were crowded every night that week. The Spanish men behave in a different way then Canadian men, but they were very polite, It was quite an ex- perience trying to communicate with guys that . spoke little 'Eng- lish, while we spoke'no Spanish at all. Some managed to com- municate quite well though, de- spite the language barrier !! A few girls caught a good dose 'of the Spanish flu, running up doctor bills, as well as missing the action for a few days. Never- theless, Nurse Stuckey took good care of everyone. The ther- mometer ••was used a lot that week! The time went by much too fast to see as Much of Spain as we should have, but we saw enough. for a lot of us to want. to return. We left the hotel, Sunay the 23rd at 10:00 a.m,, amid tears, vows to return and cries of "Adios!" and "Hosta la vista!" Diane, we're home now, so you can; turn your watch;back.
