Then came the voices, filling the skies The oceans roared and crashed The brooks murmured soft- ly, the trees gave sighs The bitter winter winds cold- ly lashed. Then came the beasts, friends or foe The rabbits, the bears, the wolves and foxes The over -proud buck and his meek doe The cattle, the leopards, the big burly oxen. The world was created with its birds and beasts Then night was at hand With itself it felt at peace And then, time began Then came man. —Bonnie Burchill 1 1 Lively assem ly Senior VI/OSSA badrni i.s held at Madill On Monday, April 18, a lively morning assembly was held at Madill. The Stu- dents' Council and some of the Grade 13 students proved once again that school spirit is not dead yet. An enjoyable skit was performed in antici- pation of the upcoming chocolate bar drive which is held annually at Madill and raises much of the Students' Council funds for the entire year. This assembly was also very special since the candi- dates and new members for next year's activities were introduced. Because of de- clining interest, many posi- tions for next year's mem- bers were attained by ac- clamation. Next year's social con- veners will be Rance Willis and Paul Kenyon. These stu- dents will be responsible for social events #within the school, especially dances. Judith McMichael and Cindy Mulvey will be the social publicity managers for the next school year. It will be their task to advertise social events with posters in parti- cular. The boys' athletic con- veners for the year 1983-84 will be Jack Simpson and Ron Schistad. Ron is to be congratulated for his excel- lent acceptance speech. He tahnked the academy. His sense of humor was greatly appreciated. The girls' 'athletic conveners for next year will be Kate Boon and Stephanie Gaunt. Glenda Ireland and Shan- non Colvin will serve as next year's lounge managers. The position of tuck shop man- agers is to be filled next year by Melody Ireland and Carol Green. The last position to be attained by acclamation is Cindy Nixon and Kendra Purdon for the activities of- ficers. The only positions which were determined by a stu- dent body vote were the posi- tions of president and vice president of the Students' Council. John Leedham and Julie Gnay ran against the team of Andrew Creighton and Christine Kissner for these positions. The two teams campaigned with posters and buttons for the entire week. On Monday, April 25, the election was held. Andrew and Christine attained these positions. The best of luck to these students and we wish them a successful and enjoy- able year in the future at Madill. —Grace Schmidt 13C Students travel to Can, youth centre Recently, two students from F. E. Madill Secondary School, Pam Wilson and Jeff Moore, went to the Canadian Youth Centre in Ottawa. When asked what they did, they replied: "Lawyers, pro- vincial and supreme court judges, NDP politicians and senators spoke to us. We visited the House of Com- mons, the Supreme Court of Canada, the Provincial Court of Ontario, the Nation- al Ballet Centre and we got a tour of the city of Ottawa. "We were divided up into groups where we talked about major issues like drug abuse, abortion, capital pun- ishment, discrimination, working mothers, etc:-: We got to go shopping on the last day." Next, they were asked if they had fun. "We had a lot of fun. We met people from all over Canada. Every province and territory was represented." Then they answered the question of educational value. "We learned a great deal. We studied in depth the Bill of Rights. We gained a better understanding of how our judicial system works. And by meeting people from all over Canda, we gained more respect for all the different regions of Canada and for the unity of the whole of Can- ada." They were asked how the trip was funded. "The Wingham Optimists paid $150 toward each of us, the federal government paid most of it and we each had to pay $25. The total cost was approximately $450." Finally, they were asked if they -would recommend this trip to other students. "Yes! It is a worthwhile experience and we think more students from F. E. Madill should go!" A definitely exciting and valuable trip to go on, ob- viously. If you want to know more about this excursion and how you can participate, just ask Jeff or Pam; they'll certainly tell you! —Liz Wilkins On Saturday, April 23, six members of Madill's Senior badminton team set forth for Parkside Collegiate in St. Thomas for the annual WOSSA badminton cham- pionships. It was a long and eventful day, highlighted by many excellent matches by our players. John Leedham and Steve Gaunt., playing in their first Senior WOSSA tournament, started the day •by losing to Oakridge in a tough three - game match. They followed this with two good wins over Glencoe and Sarnia St. Clair, but lost their fourth and final match of the day to the Bant- ing team: 15-11, 17-16, a match that featured many H.P. Jr. badminton On April 26, the top Junior badminton players gathered in the Madill gyms to decide the champions of the Huron - Perth Conference. Madill's eight Juniors represented our school with excellent badminton. Seven of them are new to the team this year and gained valuable tourna- ment experience. Listowel captured the team cham- pionship, with Madill placing fifth. Melody Ireland, playing girls' singles, played two matches before losing to Seaforth in a close three - game match 4-11,11-7, 12-11. The Madill boys' doubles team of Tim Brown and Paul Good displayed excellent badminton, winning their first two matches against Clinton and Stratford Cen- tral. Both matches went three games with close scores. Two more matches later, Goderich eliminated them with scores of 15-6 and 15-7. It was Tim's and Paul's. first tournament and a good fifth -place finish The mixed doubles team of Jill Berwick and Paul Kenyon were up against many good mixed doubles teams. After . two matches against Stratford Northwest- ern and South Huron, they faced elimination against Feature article Clinton. The final match was close with many long rallies, but the final score read 7-15, 15-8, 18-14 in Clinton's favor. Nevertheless, it was a good fifth place for Jill and Paul. Ed Sweeney battled through four difficult match- es in the physically demand- ing boys' single draw. Ed de- feated the Goderich and South Huron boys' singles, but could not find the key to beating the Stratford Central player. Giving -it everything he had, Ed lost in the semi- finals 17-14, 15.7, for a fine fourth place finish. The highlight of the day was the fine play of Carol Blackwell and Stephanie Gaunt, who won matches against Seaforth, Clinton and Listowel to reach the finals against South Huron. In the battle for the gold medal, Carol and Stephanie gave the experienced Exeter girls an excellent game, but lost 15- 10, 15-1.

Drama students are putting on the drama production "The Music Man". It is directed by Mr. Elgie with producer Judy Short and assistant producer Ann Procter. The heads of the drama club are Rick Martin and Jo- anne Bregman. They both have main roles in the play. The cast includes Rick Mar- tin as Professor Harold Hill, The Music Man; the librar- ian is played both by Beth Gingrich and Pam Shaw; Mrs. Paroo, the librarian's mother, is played by Karen Young. Ma 'or Skinn is played by Al Kieffer; and his wife Eulalie, Joanne Breg- man. Also included are the people of River City, the, choirs and the double quar- tette. When I asked how the pro- duction was going, I received a very promising answer : "No major setbacks; every- one is trying." Cooperation is a necessity in a play and obviously, they've got it. The props are going fine and any minor problems are being ironed out. The production is taking • place at F. E:" Madill, "with the cost of $3 ''a seat. The dates are May 11 (afternoon performance) while the later dates May 12, 13 and 14 are public 8:15 p.m. showings. The drama club has very generously give the May 11 afternoon showing to the senior citizens, and public school children for free, so I am sure that it will be great fun for those interested. Now that I've told you some important details, I'll got into a small review of the play "The Music Man". A travelling salesman, The Music Man, arrives at River City, Iowa, in the early 1900s and he is trying to put instru- mental bands together. This simple sales pitch looks le- gal, but in fact it is not. The Music Man collects the fees from the poor, innocent peo- ple, then leaves quickly be- fore the band starts. Will he never realize that it is wrong to rip off the innocent people or will a caring person ,change his mind? If you want to know the answer, come out and see "The Music Man". —Valerie Ricker UP AND OVER—Young Jeff Pollard was the star of a tumbling demonstration at the Wingham Public School last week, with a daring flip off the "horse". The tumbling team, coached by Gary Lisle, put on quite a display for parents and friends at the open house, part of Education Week activities. SKIP-1T—The Skip -It group from Wingham Public , School, coached by David Shaw, gave a demonstration of some fancy rope -skipping during an open house at the school last week. Nanci Walton and Cheryl Under- wood are two members of the squad, which has toured a number of other schools in the area. A ton long and exciting rallies. John and Steve finished seventh in the 16 -team draw and will be returning to the team next year. Tracey MacKay and Rob Willis, the Madill mixed doubles team, played in six difficult matches. During the day they defeated teams from West Elgin. St. Joseph's, Arthur Voaden and London Central. In their last match, fight- ing for a . bronze metal, Tracey and Rob ran into a determined team from Med- way. After losing the opening game of the match by a close 18-16 score, they fought back to even the match 15-9. The third game was close with many long rallies and fine shots, but unfortunately, Medway won the third game and the match 15-11. Never- theless it was a fine fourth - place -finish for Tracey and Rob. Rob will also return to the team next year. The girls' doubles team of Tami MacDonald and Helen Morrison, also playing in their first WOSSA event, placed themselves in medal contention. With wins over West Elgin, London Central, Sarnia St. Clair and Med- way, they found themselves playing for a bronze medal against their old foes from Listowel. It looked like Tami and Helen were going to re- venge their Tuesday's loss when they won the opening game 15-8, but the Listowel team was just a little tougher, winning the last two games and the match 18-13, 17-14. For Tami and Helen it was almost a bronze medal and a fine fourth -place finish. Tami and Helen will also return to the team next year. For the Seniors, it was an excellent year of badminton and with five of them return- ing, Madill's chances next. year look bright.
