The indlvldud
Be yourself. Always be
able to Stand on your own
two feet. Be' individualistic
and add to the variety within
society.
This ideal has often been
expressed by many people of
high standing in the world.
As youngsters, we are told to
strive toward this goal of
maintaining our identity in a
world ever conforming.
Society presents the -
slogan, "Do Your' Own
Thing". This sly facade
tricks us into believing that
the society in which we live
is just and has respect for the
individual and his beliefs.
Yet, beneath this
suspiciously calm surface is
the stormy and startlingly
cruel reality of the persecu-
tion true individuals un-
dergo. This reality is a very
sad and unfortunate paradox
of our society today.
There is definite evidence
of this social paradox within
our own school. Contrary to
comments by Mr. Ritter
during an assembly of the
,student body, the majority of
F. E. Madill students use
improper or, profane
language. It is the many
individuals in the minority
who do not, who find them-
selves left in the dust. Al-
ways outside the closed -in
ring of popular kids, they
have little, if any, chance of
ever penetrating. Mr. Ritter
took the individual's stand,
but the school board con-
tinues to follow the trend of
society.
Certain books are intro-
duced into the English curri-
culum which are thought to
be excellent literature, good
study material and fine
teaching aids. The profane
language used. throughout is
insignificant.
The presence of t

student reasons that if :t
book is classed as good
literature and if the hero Or
heroine uses profanity with
good effect, there is no real
problern whether or not it is
acceptable in his vocabulary
as well.
Are the concerned authori-
ties truly serious about their
plea for decent language? If
so, then the removal of
barriers which make
cleaning up our vocabulary
difficult, if not impossible,
only makes good sense!
Common sense, however,
seems to have little weight
within , our society.
Individuality today is
allowed and even given a
blessing in our world as king
as it does not differ too
dramaticallyy from the status
quo or society's idea of in-
dividualism. This idea is
often no more than con-
formity.

Soccer:,
sport of the future
A sport which has been
around for a long time is
rapidly gaining recognition
as more and more people be-
come involved. This sport is
soccer and it may some day
be the number two sport,
next to hockey.
More and more minor
leagues are springing up all
over. These leagues have not
reached our area yet, but we
don't need those leagues be-
cuase we have exceptional
soccer players already in our
district andin our school.
Mr. Mali and' Mr. Wilson,
two teachers at Madill, are
the two coaches who put the
boys through training,
practising and finally
playing. There are eleven
teams altogether and all
prove to be tough competi-
tion, but which is the best
team?
"It varies every year.
There's no school with a lot
of power in soccer. Usually
Goderich, Clinton and Strat-
ford are the best teams,"
coach Mali said.
Practises . begin a week
after March break, usually a
month before the season
actually starts. The season is
An ounce of prevention,
worth a poundof cure
Several weeks ago the
President of the United
States of America was shot.
Yesterday, the Pope of the
Roman Catholic Church was
shot entering St. Peter's
Cathedral. Must this be?
The violence of our society
today is absolutely ap-
palling. The shooting of a
president can be understood
to a slight degree as he does
occupy a political office.
When one occupies a field
which does not contain as
.much controversy. and
heated debate as polities, it
is, in effect, not surprising
that some ``clued -out" in-
dividual attempts to erase
what he doesn't like.
If your community group is interested in providing counselling
to young people who have low educational levels or insufficient
training in the fundamental skills necessary to find and hold, a job,
there's financial help available.
As part of BILD (Board of Industrial Leadership and
Development), the Ontario Youth Secretariat and the Ontario
Manpower Commission have created a program to encourage a
community response to the special problems of unemployed
youth. The Ontario Youth Secretariat will match local monies in
support of a counselling service -up to $60,000 per year.
Are- you interested? Would you like more information?
Mail the coupon below for a brochure that will fully explain the
program and qualifications.

The assault on the Pope is
an absolutely awful testi-
monial to the escalating fear
and tension that has been
terretizing the world for
several years. It is shocking
because the attempt was on
a .religious figure, who,
though public, was striving
for the betterment of all
mankind.
There, haye always been
some barriers that everyone
respected, b, t now with His
Hptinegs;the �" pe shot, those
barriers aver removed.
The removal o ;that barrier

The preparations for the
1981 formal are' progressing
'very well! However; there is
still a lot to dd before May 23.
The chairman Of the formal
committee, Lori Gibson,
,urges everyone to go to the
formal becuase this is to be
one of the best ever! She also
wants to see everyone at the
formal becauseshe is a firm
believer in the cliche; "The
more, the merrier."
Tickets will go on sale next
week and they are tobe $10 •
per couple. A delicious lunch
is also included at the dance.
Lori said that so far this
had turned out to be a Grade
13 project, but any students,
especially' from Grade 12
who are willing to help out,
would be greatly, ap-
preciated.
I have'heard about some of
the interesting decorations
that are to accentuate the
theme "Stairway to
Heaven", but , I am not at
liberty to reveal them. So, I
guess you will just have to go
to the formal to see the
original interior decorating
of the formal committees.

AN APOLOGY
You know. I shirked your
kindn..
when you offered it.
i took your love
and threw it on the floor.
And there it lay,
never to be found again.
I never knew
what I had done.
I carried on from day to day,
not knowing, not caring.
Until I realized
what i had done.
What a fool I'd been,
To have been so cruel.
i hope in time
you'll forgive me.
Because I learned
something since then.
I learned that
I really like you
And want to start over
again.

tion meaning that every
public figure whether
religious or political is fair
game for somebody to put
his point across. We, people
. everywh'ere, must not accept
this behaviour.
Now is the time to take
action and fight to remove
violence from TV. The
violence there only im-
munizes children, at an
earlier age, against the
horror and .finiteness of
death and violence.
Now is the time to write,
phone or contact your repre-
sentative to have stricter
gun control.
Now is the time to see
whether criminals in prisons
are being handled in such a
way as' to stop them from
ever • committing crimes'
again. The., preventive
measures must be taken now
to give hope for a better
future, because there is no
way in this world that events
can .continue as they have
been.
People are wondering, who
is going, to be next? There

the .list, stretches .on. By •
the time .this is printed it will
'be known whether thename
of Pope John Paul II' will be
added to the list.
People say, "How can I do
anything? I'm only one and a
nobody at that!" Well, so•
were Lee Oswald, David
Chapman, and Hinckley.
Right now is the time so
say. NO! we aren't going to
take it anymore!

three weeks long and each
team plays six games. Every
team must win at list four
games or it doesn't make it
to the playoffs. Where does
Madill's team stand?. It can
afford to lose one niore
game.
The exhibition games.
against Exeter, ended in a 1-
1 tie. The team won its first
game 1-0 over Clinton.
Goderich then beat Madill 2-
0 and the boys turned around
and had victory over Norwell
2-0. The playoffs are nearing
and Madill could possibly
make it.
With such a short season
you would think the tension
would be high, but, as Coach
Mali said, "I feel there's not
too much tension. They're
keen to do -well."
The players are en-
thusiastic about their sport
and Coach Mali commented,
"Soccer teams are the most
enthusiastic." He also stated
that theboys are "excellent
sportsmen" whether they
win or lose.
"One referee said he's
never reffed a game where
there were such good sports-
men."
Every team must have a
game strategy to follow.
Coach Mali said, "It's'
basically to get as many
shots as you' can. Work the
ball to the corner. Take no
chances on defence at all.
. Beat them to the ball."
It's not life. or death if the
boys don't win all the time,
but as the coach said, "I
expect them to do the best
they can. I don't believe
winning is everything." Per-
haps this is one reason the
team is doing so well.
Asked what improvements
the coaches would like to
make, Mr. Mali said, "Im-
prove their skill. They're
rugged and fast. They
haven't had enough ex-
perience to handle the ball
skillfully.
"The overall objective. is
for the team to learn about
the game and enjoy it. They'
can appreciate it more." The
boys also can gain much •
valuable knowledge in
getting along with others and
competing against others:
These boys should be given
recognition for their hard
work, dedication and fine
sportsmanship. Congratula-
tions boys!
