silk top hats. The makeup crew
have been experimenting with
grey wigs and mustaches to
convert an 18 year-old into a
mature e5 year old. The lighting
crew continually warn people to
stay . clear to avoid possible
falling lights. They seem to enjoy
climbing scaffolds and crawling
into the ceiling. A catering group
have had hat dinners ready for
those who stay for evening work
and practice. The publicity com-
mittee have made and dis-
tributed posters, got tickets
ready and made announcements.
The production is student -
directed and managed. Jim Wel-
wood is the director and Rick
Currah the production manager.
Liz Neilson is the stage manager.
These three bear the brunt of
frustrations well. The prompters
should have no work this week
but have been of great help!
Rosemary Schmidt is the pianist
and also musical director with
advice from Mrs. M. Douglas.
Mrs. A. Tiffin is the staff co-
ordinator.

Geography
field trip
The grade 12 geography, classes
went on a field trip to Kitchener
on May lst. On the way down to
Kitchener the students were
busily writing notes on the com-
munities between Wingham and
Waterloo, placing them on the
hierarchy, explaining their loca-
tion and identifying major func-
tions or industries. While driving
through Listowel the students
made notes on the cross-section
of land uses from the western
edge to the eastern edge of town.
Once in Kitchener the students
were divided into. pairs and sent
out to work along King Street.
The students drew diagrams
indicating the lot frontage height
ofthe buildings and the use of the
buildings for all floors. Also traf-
fic and pedestrian flows were
taken along King St.
Lunch was eaten at the Fair-
view Mall and then the students
toured the industrial park and
noted the different companies
and products. The students
walked around the water pol-
lution control, plant and then re-
turned to the bus to tour the old
industrial area via the Conestoga
Parkway. The bus proceeded to a
rich .district and the students
viewed the beautiful estates of
the upper class. The last stop.be-
fore heading back to Wingham
was a Towers Mall which the
students compared to the Fair-
view Mall.
The students arrived back in
Wingham at five o'clock. The trip
was very educational and worth-
while. Everyone had a great
time.

acquired the highest marks in the
written contest. We congratulate
these boys and hope 'they con-
tinue to do as well in the future.
Following this, Carol Ac ms

the individual must say his
speech in front of his own class.
Again he . is marked and this
mark makes up 25 per cent of his
hast terra mark. The best two

ticipate in a run-off for the school.
The competition is divided into
three divisions, Junior, Inter-
Mediate and Senior, with the top
two speakers in each division

BOYS' SOCCER
Wednesday, May 1st, Seniors,
Mitchell 3 -- Madill 0; Juniors,
Mifehell 0.
The first game of the series was
played at Mitchell in very windy
conditions causing both teams a
lot of difficulty with ball control.
The Mitchell teams were more
organized than the Madill teams;
and deserved to win, although the
games were more closely con-
tested than the scores indicate.
Both games were played cleanly
and with a very sportsmanlike
attitude by all players.
With some judicious joggling of
substitutes, novice players had a
chance to show what they could
do. Most of the goals were scored
in the second half and this usually
indicates the physical fitness of
the teams. ,
There is a six -game league ser-
ies.

test for those interested in becoming league officials.
