The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-09-26, Page 10J #Sept.•26,.1%�Q't.A �"t' 1Ni'tt�tNaln �Adv�ance-T•'rrnes; ,4.; Editorial Knowiedge the key Have you ever thought that a single word could change a perIson's complete career? An easy look through a file on the educating years you've left behind could give you "fame and fortune" or, on the other hand, a job shin- ing shoes. That important noun I'm writing of is knowledge. And it's that time again for students to dutifully file back to their hard, straight desks and fili, their sun -bleached heads with new ideas in hopes of someday finding a well -paying job. Why do we go to school? Is it to become knowledgeable about the world around tis? But then, unless you've been bound, gagged and tied to a desk against your will, most of us find learning fulfilling. It's nice to be able to tell your family at the end of the day that you can find the three consecutive terms in an arithmetci sequence. But I do admit my brain needed some exercise that didn't involve getting an even suntan. So now the cobwebs are swept away and I'm ready to begin, a new year with the anticipation of succeeding in my goals; of filling my brain with infinite knowledge. And getting through this year sane. —Valerie Ricker Angela Petten wins trip to New York Last Spring Angela Petten competed at Clinton in a public speaking contest sponsored by the Oddfellows and Rebekahs for the secondary schools in Huron County. There were 12 contestants and she was the winner. Her excellent speech on Martin Luther King Jr. and her impromptu speech on job hunting won her a trip to New York. Angela was one of the group of 25 Canadians and 25 Americans on the 11 -day bus trip in July. For her, the tour began at seven o'clock in Toronto. After breakfast there the group went to Ottawa for a day's visit. There they visited the Science Centre and the Parliament Buildings. After a short visit in Montreal they travelled to New York where they stayed for five days. The group had a special tour of The United Nations building and- visited the Empire State Building, The World Trade Centre and The New York Stock Exchange. Angela also enjoyed a splendid Broadway show. They shopped at Saks and at Macys too. Angela saw jeans priced at $100 and a wedding dress that cost half a million! After leaving New York, the group toured Gettysburg and then Washington where they visited the Library of Congress. On the way home, Angela knocked on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and felt the spray of Niagara Falls. Angela met many new friends on the trip. She said it is costing her a fortune in stamps to write to so many of them! She has already visited one friend in Toronto. In New York another speaking contest was held in which the winner was awarded. a trip to Mexico. Angela did not win that prize but is grateful to the spon- sors for sending her to New York. She will be speaking at banquets held by the Odd - fellows or Rebekahs now. When asked if she would try again, she replied .that she had a really good time but was "too old" to,, compete again. 'Only Intermediate students up to. Grade 11 are eligible. Good luck to Angela in further public speaking contests. —Valerie Ricker Yearbook editors' Student question Since this is the first school page of the year, the most obvious question popped into my head, "What •do you like the twist about F. E. Madill S.S.'?" So, that is what I decided to use for the studeht question. School dances, Katrina Howald 12C. Everything, really, Wendy Neable 9D. Period' seven spare and Teeswater, Greg, Annita, Linda & Celia. Mr. McLennan's new suit, anonymous 13B. My spare class, Francine Beaupre 11E. Students and the teachers, Mr. Mali. Being manager of a basketball' team, and getting afternoon classes off, and, most importantly, bugging Scoob, Deb Raynard, IIF. Guys, teams, teachers are okay, Angela Coultes 9A. So, although most people say they don't like school very much, everyone I asked was able to find at least one thing they liked about good old F.E. —Suzanne Alton 13A summer workshop While most- Madill students were basking in the sun, two industrious students were busily learning the ropes at the 1984 Summer Yearbook Workshop held August 12 to 16 at Trent University in ,Peterborough. These students, known as yearbook editors, were Marilyn, Jamieson and Jan Gibson. A typical day began with breakfast at 7:30. Then classes began at 9 lasting till noon. Classes resumed at 1 till 5. Supper was then served and the evenings were • usually free to complete assignments handed out that IMP day. The basics were learned in layout design, typography, design and graphics. Many long hours were spent mastering the techniques and much was accomplished in four short days. There was time however for swimming, volleyball, baseball and a dance on the last night. Thursday, Aug. 16, marked their return to Wingham, where they now put into practice the know- ledge learned at the year- book workshop. They had a great time and met meny new fascinating people. It was a most rewarding ex- perience. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP As of September 28, 1984, Readman Cleaners & Men's Wear will be closing.

Ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night .. that's what you should ex- pect of one of the summer's biggest movie hits — Ghost - busters! This wacky movie stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as the in- vincible Ghostbusters and Sigourney Weaver as the gorgeous (what else is new?) unfortunate woman caught up in the fantasy. Co- starring, of course, are the seemingly unconquerable "monsters" who made the whole idea such a sensation. ' The more NeviXork City is plaguedby the Ayr -natural beings the more trouble the trio gets into, till one major "blow up" -threatens to destroy mankind. Can the all-powerful ghost- busters put an end to all this? You better believe it! And so, (to . quote the famous Ray Parker Jr.), "When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who yd gonna call?"

The juniors started their season against Clinton. It was a close game throughout the first half and the game was up for grabs. Madill poured it on in the second half, intimidating the Clinton defence and making them helpless against Madill's dynamic offensive plays. The results were marvelous. Madill leaped ahead for a re- warding 41-32 victory. The midget girls played a strong game against Clinton. By the end of the first half, they were behind their op- ponents by a single basket.\ The Mustang spirit pre- vailed. In the beginning of the second half, Madill scored three baskets in a row.
