Alas for the teachers, the superior playing ability and conditioning of the students allowed them to win 1-0. The goal was scored by Jerry Bremner late in the third period. It is in- teresting to note that the students were short one player when they scored the goal. We, the students, would like to congratulate the teachers on a fine game and hope they enjoy similar success throughout their broomball careers. Mr. Neil, with two breakaways, Mr. Inwood in goal, who kept the staff in the game, and Mr. Cardy, who was unsparing of the body, were the pick of the staff team. Ken Quipp and the lone .goal scorer, Jerry Bremner, were standouts for the students. The principal's andouncement, noting that the staff had lost only one game all season and sym- pathizing with the students, who had managed only one win (and that by one goal), resulted in a challenge for next year.

This was all our Junior volleyball team needed to warm up and they swiftly over- took Central Huron in the two re- maining games with scores of 15- 8 and 15-7. In the three games against Exeter the tide changed for the Juniors and the opposing home team was successful in winning each. When asked about their im- pressions of the opponents, the team members said that the Chh- ton team was not as strong as the victorious South Huron team, which had a powerful server and ran up eight points in spite of all the coach's strategy with time outs, instructions and encourage- ment. Others stated that the games lost were the results of mistakes made by our team. The Junior team added three more close losses to their unenviable total of almost won games. In another, gym the Seniors were doing battle with the Clinton and Exeter teams also. With Ms. Schofield as coach, our team was successful in winning against Central Huron in three succes- sive games. Teamwork was the key to their victories since the games consisted of long rallies. History somehow repeated it- self when our Seniors lost against South Huron. The other team provided good, stiff competition and seemed to specialize in spikes and blocks. There is to be another tourna- ment either at our school or at Clinton on February 14 which will definitely determine whether or not our team will go on in the battle for the Huron _Perth Championship. Summing it all up, it was a very out -of -the -ordinary day for me and, strangely enough, I learned a lot about volleyball! Dianne McBride Min Hardie "F. E. Madill is a well -nm system, which makes it easier for both teachers and students," says Miss Hardie, a Home Economics teacher at Madill. Students tend to think of Home Ec. as dealing exclusively with cooking and sewing. As it covers a much broader scope, next year it will be known as "Family Studies". Miss Hardie is impressed by the enthusiasm displayed by most students. However, her "pet peeve" is students who for- get to bring their notebooks or textbooks to class. An indication of this teacher's interest in extra- curricular activities is her in- volvement in the Craft Club. As various crafts are attempted, Miss Hardie feels this is a learn- ing experience for her as well as for the.club members. Miss Hardie also involves her- self in travelling which is a good educational experience, as it en- ables one to see how other people live. She has travelled to Europe Hats and ties Hat and tie day was observed Friday at F. E. Madill, and the two Grade 13 classes were hands down winners over the rest of the school with winning scores of loo per cent participation. The students showed excellent initiative — top hats, tall hats, tri hats, wide hats, diamond hats, hood hats, hard hats, and while many of the ties, and especially the knots, could only be described as different, they certainly were colorful. Even Mr. Morisson's tie and toque were eclipsed — and that is going some! F. E. MADILL CHEERLEADERS had plenty to cheer about last Wednesday as the student team defeated the teachers' squad in the annual snow carnival grudge match on ice. Students won the broomball game 1-0.

For example both our food and water are inexpensive ,, . , .. pa .. l to other countries. Visiting Wingham in England and Listowel in Ireland were some interesting experiences while travelling. In Germany, Miss Hardie was able to meet Trudeau's "double". Navigating the subway systems of Paris and London was quite a feat, while participating in "haunted" tours of England provided some ex- citement. Miss Hardie's travels have en- riched her life, and I'm sure this is i of m4ed in her teaching. - —Nancy Fischer Penny carnival Gym 254 was the some of the penny carnival on February 6. The various vendors were pro- claiming the facts about their wares. Heads were scratched in concentration at the jelly bean counting table. Faces turned blue as people tried to beat the tbree minute breath holding record. The merits of Wink vs 7 Up, Pepsi vs Coke and butter vs mar- garine were tested at other tables. People walking by the cracker eating table had to dodge a shower of crumbs as the con- testants tried to whistle. Specta- tors had to beware of a shower of pennies as the participants at the penny toss tried to get their coppers in the containers. As soon as the banana eating con -ted was over, the `leftovers" were sold for a penny a piece. All in all a general festive atti- tude prevailed as the students wandered around the gym and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the penny carnival. MADILL AND MIRAGES MIRROR Leap before you look. If you look before you leap you may be afraid to jump. And one who never jumps remains standing — remains standing — never changing never learning always looking and never finding. —Marni Walsh New column The executive of the Mirror has always welcomed anv suaees- tions or criticisms from the Stu- dent body, teaching staff and general public, but now for the first time we announce the be- ginning of a new column solely for the purpose of reader input. Similar to "Letters io the Editor", this colunrfn will be open, to anyone interested in ex- pressing a viewpoint concerning life at Madill and suggestions for the school page staff. This column will, hopefully, make.the Mirror more open to reader re- sponse. The letters or articles may or may not be . �- .1, unless a direct question is ad- dressed, when we will do our best to answer it suitably. This column, to be called "In My Opinion", can only be a success through reader involve- ment so get those pencils flying! Please send articles to Mrs. Tiffin's room (Rm 221) or ad- dress them to 'The Madill Mirror co F. E. Madill S. S., Wingham. It would be appre- ciated if these letters-articim were written every other line for typing purposes. Kathy Underw lid 33
