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.

In the overall team results, F. E. Madill finished fourth. 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. Mary Anne Alton THINK OLOUR s '1 ' AND SAVE Don't throw out last year's clothes. Dye them. TINTEX dyes are easy and economical to use.

ESQUIRE INSTANT COLORING madill m 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 Quesdbn: Since Canada is a bilingual nation, do you think that it is necessary for everyone to learn both English and French? 0-0-0 @ Beta Leahy 13B: I don't fee1 that it is necessary but the value of having another language at your disposal would be beneficial in later life. 0-0-0 Irene Parker 1211: I think it -is valuable because it would prove our unity as one single country. 0-0-0 Carl Dore 12B: Yes, you should because the French people usually learn English so it is only common sense and fairness for the English to learn the French language. 0-0,0 Lauranne Sanderson 13B: I don't think it is necessary be- cause not everyone is able to learn a second language easily. 0-0-0. Brad de Boer 10C: I think that it is up to the individual because ,it is a free country. 0.0-0 Mary Ellen Havens 12D: It is not necessary but it is a good idea. 0-0-0 Janice Coultes 10B: It depends where you are living. 0.0-0 Karl Whytock 9R: No, because I don't want to. 0-0-0 Susan Brook 9B: Why not! Barbara Cameron 9B: Yes, because Canada is a bilingual country and we must speak the languages of our country.

Also present at the meet and compet- ing in the open invitational classes were Abbey Hoffman, one. of the world's best 900 -metre runners, and London's Grant McLaren in the 3000 -metre. Both Abbey Hoffman and Grant McLaren will be racing in the Montreal Olympics next year. 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. Brenda Taylor, 9M Dr. B. E. Fernow was the first dean of the first university Faculty of Forestry in- Toronto in 1907. r people in their Ilastand` se last years decide that they w to be active, that it is fun to cipate.' For those of you who did not participate, those of you not run for office, nomtpate • someone, or work on someenes, campaign, you have missed ,; on a great deal of fun and ey ''. effort. I feel sad that I did nail in my bid for the presidency, sit °I' do not regret that I tried. °tithe contrary; I am very happy °Me fact. Lois and Janet, I hope that Wit year of office LS a`good one, that your troubles are few and yOur triumphs many. Joan, Irene, Murray and Henry, I feel that I could not have had more worthy competitors. To Don who ran is my vice-president, Rene for nominating us,' and our sup- porters, I can only express grati- tude, appreciation and my sin- cere thanks. Gordon F.

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. —Scott Bridge,10B Stortteg troUble got you darn" The Cor Owe Coil tht t1_k a no Ornery*, oar ViOn't start and the battery acts dead, you E should cheek the hatt cables.
