110,0 41gwun, the rustle of dry
dee OP the forest floor. Lie in a
146710:u. itww , watch the trees
nboye way. Smell the wise scent
'the forest as it prepares itself
for the billowy storms of winter.
I love the winter, the eerie quiet
of the forest somehow silenced
with my approach, my muffled
footsteps scarring the untouched
beauty of the powdery blanket
that covers the forest.
I love the spring, the squish of
boots in the mud, the damp smell
of moss and bark, the scent of
spring, cold clear water beneath
the log I carefully balance myself
upon. Life, a chipmunk, curious
of my presence, the excited twit-
ter of birds above and the quiet
beauty in the heart of the forest,
the beauty of discovering.
I love summer, sipping sodas in
the shade, or sunning myself be-
side the pool. I love a summer
thunderstorm, the pink of the sky
as the sun retreats, the rosy glow
as it advances early in the morn.
A summer on the farm brings
promises, the chirp of the cricket
and the lowing of the cattle, the
rumble of farm wagons, the scent
of fresh hay, the fluttering but-
terfly and the shout of children.
Even hot pavement and lemon-
ade and cookies bring sweet
memories of my childhood sum-
mers.
Without our four beautiful sea-
sons and the help of Mother
Nature I would be lost. How about
you? ,

Orientation Night
On Thursday, May 12, a wel-
r�nr i/Par eeMmitee was et the
school to welcome all the pre-
grade-nnners for 1975. An evening
of tours, exhibits and skits were
presented to the students and the
parents by the high school stu-
dents.
Mr. Wood briefed the students
on the rules and regulations of the
school and what to expect when
they attend next September.
Then the students were divided
into 20 groups and were taken on
a guided tour by an experienced
high school student into a room of
each subject. The teachers in the
rooms told the students about the
course they had enrolled in and
answered any questions the stu-
dents asked. The students and
parents then reconvened in gym
228.
As the students left the school,
the expression on many faces
was that of anticipation for
September of '75.
News Bulletin
There has been a strange sick-
ness going around F. E. Madill,. S.
S. the past few weeks. It seemed
to hit Wingham at the same time
as the good weather did. Lately it
has spread rapidly creating an
epidemic among the students.
The doctors of Wingham and Dis-
trict Hospital are concerned by
the fact that it seems to have
been affecting only young people.
As of yet they are undecided as to
the origin of this disease and a
cure for this nagging epidemic.
Teachers of F. E. Madill S. S.
have observed some symptoms of.
this disease. Students seem
irritated, excited and restless in
class. One teacher stated she
noticed half the class sitting gaz-
ing out the window in the middle
of her class. Were they day-
, dreaming er is this a chronic sign
of the disease? Male and female
species can be seen strolling
down the corridor hand in hand,
noticing only eachother and talk-
ing in whispers.
As the principal stated on Mon-
day, April, 26, that there were
e only 30 more days of school left it
was thought that some Could be in
a.,state of shock. I; however, have
reason to believe that this is
,Spring \Fever.

Letter to the Editor
Well, the elections and
balloting are over for another
year. We have a new students'
council and I am sure that it Is
capable of doing a fine job.
I was surprised by the number
ofpeorde who ran I rhe offices
of president and vice-president,
yet disappointed that other of-
fices were filled by acclamation.
I believe it is a good representa-
tion of the apathy that exists until

it is necessary for everyone to
learn both English and French?

an excellent run. He came in sec-
ond, missing first by .1 second in
his heat. In the 400 -metre race,
Bill Boneschansker placed first
in his heat and finished third

shot13ut. Chris Exel and Twyla
Dickson finished eighth In the
triple jump. In the long jump,
David Crowe and Susan Brooks

classes were Abbey Hoffman, one.

A NEW DAY
In the early morn at the break of
dawn,
I walk.
Along the sea shore, I dream
The quiet fog lifting.
Revealing a new day.
I love the rush of the water,
As it hurries, foaming and sput-
tering
To, meet the pebbles on ' the
beach,
Only to retreat again
Revealing a new day.
I smile, a gull soaring
On gifted wings of leisure,
Crying out to rejoice
To the world awakening,
Revealing a new day.
The wet sand feels good
As I linger along the shore
So quiet, still awaiting
The sun to rise
And revealea new day.
A foghorn lows like a cow,
Its beacon flashing. Ominous.
A giant swinging his lantern on
the point.
And the beach, so abandoned of
its pesty users
Brightens, promising a new day.
A car comes bumping down
The sandy trail to the beach.
Another tourist
As are so many in the daytime
The magic is gone; for a new day
has been revealed.

On a cold an . foggy evening,
In nineteen twenty nine
The people on the Titanic
Were sitting do's: tQ dine.
On the deck; the eapta
Could see something 'vague.
It was a tussive leeberg
That was deadly as the plague,
The captain hurried gtdekly
To try to turn the wheel.
He wasn't nearly quick enough
For the iceberg hit the steel.
The Collison was tremendous,
Like an earthquake in the
ground.
The people were all dying,
The Titanic was going down.
The owners of the Titanic
Said that everything would go
nice, ,
But hundreds of dead people
proved
That death can be caused byice.
