The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-06-01, Page 10Page 10—The Wingham Advance -Times, June 1, 1983 Teacher interview rs. Many of the teachers at F. E. Madill SS are involved with school sports, school clubs, etc., but few are inter- ested in music and its value to the students and the school. Mrs. Douglas has been teaching and conduct- ing a choir at F, E. Madill for many years and has not re- ceived half the recognition she fully deserves. So, for those who do not know who Mrs. Douglas is, read on: Mrs. Douglas was born in Morris Township and grew up in Brussels. She attended Brussels Public School and Brussels Continuation High School. She then went to Stratford Teachers' College. She has an extensive musical background, taking private vocal and piano les- sons to eventually complete her Grade 10 vocal. She at- tended the Toronto Conser- vatory, then went to Toronto University and London Uni- versity to become a music specialist. She also took classes and is a special edu- cation and guidance specialist. To top it all off, she went to the Fred Waring School of ANNUAL MEETING Wingham & District Hospital Corporation Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of the _Wing - ham and District Hos- pital Corporation..

Hayes, Secretary FI ouglas: Music Music in Pennsylvania., She taught music (Kindergarten to Grade 13) until 1969 when it was removed from the curriculum. At the present time, Mrs. Douglas lives in Belmore and conducts a ladies' choir, the MariBel Choir. The removal of music as a school course was a disap- pointment to Mrs. Douglas, because she believes that, "Music is a part of our cul- ture and should be taught (just as English, French or math) in the schools. Music creates a common bond be- tween people that would not be shared otherwise." It is obvious that Mrs. Douglas loves music. I asked her why she did. "There is no way you can sing and be un- happy at the same time," she replied. "Singing makes you feel glad inside and happiness is a joy to see. "Music is like another language. People can com- municate through music when they cannot find the words to say what they mean. Through music you learn to appreciate the talents of others — you realize the work it takes to be a professional." The school's spring pro- duction, "The Music Man", is only one example of Mrs. Douglas' fantastic instruc- tion ability. I asked her if she had any comments about the time spent, the results, her own feelings, concerning this -impressive-production. ----- "One of the biggest prob- Movie review : The Outsiders A show arrived in Wing - ham a while ago that I am sure many girls, even ladies, flocked to see. This show featured a whole gang of gorgeous greasers — the main event being Matt Dillon. This movie is called "The Outsiders" and was. taken from the popular novel of the same name by S. E. Hunton. The Greasers, a gang of teenage boys from the wrong side of town, meet up with the Socs, whq are rich and spoiled. The Greasers do not want to hurt anyone, but two of the gang get into trouble with the Socs and quickly take off to the country. They rescue Children from a burning barn and one of the runaways pis hurt and later dies — a hero on the first page of the newspaper. The tough boy, Matt Dillon, breaks down and threatens to kill a shopkeeper with a gun — but the gun is not loaded. The police shoot and kill Matt. The story showed the life of gangs. This particular group was harmless under their tough exterior. It was a tear-jerker story and made you feel sorry for the life those boys have and the situations they must face. The movie was funny, sad and continually thrilling. The climax was suspenseful and made for an excellent story. —Valerie Ricker THREE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MONEY GROW AT STANDARD TRUST Short Term Deposit 120-364 days 8 1/4 0 (S5,000.00 minimum) Savings/Chequing Account 7 (no minimum) Guaranteed Investment Certificate ($500.00 minimum) 1 /2 o (5 yr. term paid annually) /O An "A" Rated Quality Investment by The Canada Rand Rating Service For Further Details Contact: STANDARD TRUST 237 Josephine St., Wingham, Ontario Telephone 357-2022 OPEN 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon. to Thurs., Fri. till 6 p.m. Rates Subject to Change Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation lems was trying to get the students to sing with their eyes! You must let a spark shine and be enthusiastic when you sing — they thought I was crazy! "The position in which you sing is also very important. You have to sing over top of a note, not try to reach it by stretching and craning your neck. You must be relaxed when you sing — so many of them were nervous because they had never sung a solo part before! "We were rushed with the production so there was no time for private or individual instruction to produce what would be considered the high standard of musical empha- sis and excellence. I believe the students of the drama club did extremely well con- sidering the setbacks they had to endure — especially the loss of Sheila Anderson, lead pianist." So, what is Mrs. Douglas planning for the future? "I'll always be interested in music. I love going to community concerts especially the Blyth centre where they give such good performances! I would like to see more emphasis on music and have musical groups brought into the school to expose the students and the community to various types of music and programs. .. Sunday held at ie United Church GORRIE — The United Church was decorated with beautiful flowers throughout for the annual Sunday School Flower Sunday service held Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. Mrs. Sheldon Mann and Janice and Susan Mann provided music on the piano and organ prior to the arrival of the Sunday School children and their teachers.

I hope that in the future the local businesses and service clubs will spon- sor or contribute to the awards for the North West- ern Music Association." No doubt, music and Mrs. Douglas will always be a part of F. E. Madill's past, present and future. For some people age deteriorates talent, but contrarily, Mrs. Douglas' accomplishments prove that there are other people for whom talent will never cease! —Liz Wilkins MRS. ALLAN GRIFFITH-) r Wroxeter Deborah Ellen Shore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Shore of Wroxeter, was named to the Dean's List at Pensacola Christian College for academic achievement during the spring semester of the 1982-83 school year.

She opened with a Poem and illustrations were given to explain the meaning of God's presence in our lives. When God is in our lives, even life's difficult times can be used for good. The true story of Ann, an ordinary girl, was told and how God led her through life. Through all of Ann's trials, she continued to see only good and used her life's experiences as lessons in living. Ann is Mrs. Martin's mother. The message ended with the poem "I Know Something Good About You". The offering was received by Douglas, Robbie, David and Steven Mann and dedicated by Valerie Brewer. Susan and Janice Mann sang a solo, "Walk With God". Rev. Lloyd Martin expressed his ap- preciation to all who helped and closed with the Benediction.
