Little Green Hornet Edmunds has trailed me for weeks, clicking his camera when I was in the most embarrassing, even ludicrous positions. Now all is revealed. This edition of the Year Book is dedicated to me. What utterly surprising and perverse things you students get up to. For years we teachers scold, chide, cajole, bully, coax, and beat you into the ground. Then, suddenly all smiles and disarmament, you do something quite wonderful — dedicate your year book to a teacher — and break his heart with your generosity. At this moment it seems that all your faces, separately and together, are weaving and bobbing in my mind — smiling, laughing, bewildered, some scowling and clearly muttering names quite unprintable here. Thus when I, like every other teacher, secretly hope to be affectionately remembered by you, your dedication of this edition to me ensures my affectionately remembering you forever. I suppose this is an occasion for great thoughts, profound lessons, enduring words, from me to you. Instead, I rely upon your recalling those strange and moving moments that we have sometimes shared in the classroom: odd moments, not strictly part of the course, not found in the text, not prepared nor foreseen, but just happenings when each of us knew that in the room great thoughts and feelings were present--of human words and deeds, poetry, drama, politics, religions, even God Himself. At those rare times we were lucky. We experienced true education. May those moments stay with you, forever. Vital Statistics First, I was born--before WWI is near enough — in the most important county of the Royal Throne of Kings. This is clearly very fitting for one so clever and good looking. In that same Sceptered Isle was I educated, kindergarten through university. The Great Depression determined that my first job should be teacher in an American High School in South France — rich boys, lovely girls, mountains, skiing, blue seas, beaches, and casinos. Wonderful! All this launched a career in teaching which took me back to England, on to Germany, Africa, India, and Canada. A minor interuption called upon me personally to do something, like bombing, about a corporal with a moustache, who had developed an undemo- cratic and unacceptable notion to boss everybody. This caused Canada, Stratford in particular, to wait with understandable impatience for my arrival. However, you have now had ten wonderful years of my service. How lucky can you get? So don ' t call me, I ' ll call you — from Moscow, or maybe Peking. Al Holt EDITOR ' S MESSAGE The function of a Yearbook is to capture the highlights and everyday events, in pictures and in words, then convey them to the students as fond memories. This is an arduous task and we have suffered our share of blood, toil, tears and sweat. However, we feel it has all been worth- while for we have a message — NORTHWESTERN HAS SCHOOL SPIRIT. We hone that vou will see this in the surrounding pages, in the words o the literary section, and in the faces of the sports section. I owe many thanks to manv people. I would like to thank my staff very much f or the excellent job they have done. I thank you for buying a book and having faith in us, Earl Filsinger for a well done job of advertising, Bill Ebel, Bill Jones, and Wendy Ballantvne for organizing Garnet and Grey Dav, the Enalish department for proofreading our copv, and the typists , Marilvn Meadows and Glenna Lupton. Concluding, I hope that we have fulfilled our promises made during the sales campaiqn. I f we have made you smile once and think I am a student of Northwestern Secondary School, then we will have accomplished our goal. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE As I sat down to write this annual message, the horrible thought occurred to me that perhaps no one ever bothers to read what the principal has to say. The rest of the book is so lively, and reflects so much credit on those whose time, effort and talent have produced it, that it would not be too surprising if this page were neglected. However, in the unlikely event that there will be some readers, let me philosophize for a paragraph or two about what this school — and others like it — is all about. It is perhaps unfortunate that marks on examinations mean as much as they do in educational circles. But until other standards are accepted, we must use these marks as others do. However, examination marks are only one of the many results which a school like ours ought to be trying to achieve. As students, spending some years here, you are growing toward maturity in surroundings which, in many ways, resemble the outside world which you will soon enter. Your fellow-students are your co-workers; teachers are the bosses. It is hoped that you will learn how different people can be, and how you can adjust to others even if they are not much like yourself. Above all, it is hoped that you will learn to turn in an honest day ' s work. If, instead, you are learning how to dodge as much work as possible, you will have a very hard time holding a job in the outside world. Here are some other qualities which you should try to develop: cheerfulness, respect and consideration for other people and their property, helpfulness. Such qualities as these are so important that, if you have learned them, you are likely to be happy and successful even if your marks are not too wonderful. ADMINISTRATION It seems to have been a tradition in our schools not to allow the Vice-Principal to write anything in the Year Book. I welcome this break with tradition and eagerly accept the invitation to write a short paragraph. To the students responsible for this book, I offer my sincerest congratulations. It is not an easy task to compile all the data, meet deadlines and to prod the writers to get their material in on time. To graduating students, my wish is for success in whatever you may undertake in the future. I hope that Northwestern has been good for you. Come back Mr. Burnett and visit anytime. You will always be welcome in our school. To the students still with us, I encourage you to achieve the epitome of competence in the classroom along with a distinct and burning pride in your personal qualifications and in your school. If you do this, the fame and reputation of Northwestern will soar to even greater heights and you will have been the cause of it. Directors and Department Heads Mr. Charlton Commercial Mr .

Ah, but you say that is no toiling task, It is only a few wise words of wisdom they ask. All right said I, I ' ll do the chore, Now, please, let me think of an opening metaphor. Shall I produce a comedy, a prophecy, or dramatize? Will it be long or short or just infinite in size? In my labouring brain I ' ve found my recipe, A dash of Keats, a pinch of Shelly, and a teaspoon of Burns. With this seasoning trio I a masterpiece will serve, But wait, how could I even use this stanza, the words don ' t even rhyme ! Yes, I ' ll make it free verse; no, make that blank. That is also the condition into which my mind has sank. It is now in great difficulty that I venture forth And my senses ask, How could it be of so much worth? With fourteen lines I ' ll compose me a sonnet. That ' s it! I ' ll use iambic pentameter in my verse; But I must still find a subject to write on it And if Shakespeare ever reads it, he will surely curse. Now as I enter the early hours of dawn with my genius depleted, I, on the outskirts of insanity, am seated.

For some, it has been twelve years, some thirteen and for others it seemed to go on indefinitely, but we finally reached our goal and this is the moment of truth. I believe that everyone that has contributed to our edu- cation should receive a special note of thanks. Our parents, our teachers and also we, the graduates. Firstly to our parents. I doubt whether anyone will disa- gree on the fact, that if it wasn ' t for our parents none of us would be here. It is easy to say thanks now but I doubt whether we were too thankful at the time when being severly reprimanded for our not quite so good marks , or getting in a little late that night we had the car, or, well maybe I had better not go into anymore detail. I am sure that n ow we can all say it did pay off, no matter how severe it seemed at the time. So again we, the graduates , give a hearty thanks to our parents who have played a vital role in making this year a success for us. Our teachers can ' t be forgotten and I am sure there are some in our minds that will never be forgotten. But let us consider the fact that the incidents we remember, for the most part, were for our benefit. We owe them much gratitude for the many hours they spent preparing lessons, marking illegible exam papers, and mostly, for patiently spending their time to help us overcome some problem. No doubt if we were starting our education again we would still complain about the teachers, but now that we are finished we can give them a thanks. Naturally our parents and teachers have played a great part, but we students still had to do the work. No matter how much others did towards our education, we were still the ones who had to make the notes, study them, and pass the exams. It was our determination and ambition that got us through. So grads , give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Perhaps we didn ' t all get honours, but I am sure we can all say, as Paul did to Timothv, I have fought a good fight and I have finished my course. As I was preparing this speech, the thought occurred to me that this point in our lives is an end of a beginning. It is for many of us the end of our formal education, of learning from text books and some teachers scratching on a blackboard, and the begin- ning of our learning through experience, making mistakes and correcting them. Previous to this it was quite normal to make the same mistake many times in struggling with our school work, but in the future I believe we will learn much quicker, because now a mistake could become quite costly and chances are we won ' t make the same mistake twice. Though it is my opinion that- we will be able to find out our true nature and character, which is one of the many questions we are trying to answer. No matter what we do with our lives , I think one thing should be prevalent in our minds and that is the heritage we have to live for. The heritage our forefathers have fought and died for, to give to us . As our parents hand down the governing of this world to us let ' s show them that we can do a capable job of running it, so that some day our children can say that we did make this a better world to live in. Many people today have the impression that we younger generation are just a bunch of hippies, who only know how to sit around, let our hair grow, and get dirty, which in some cases is true, but for the most of us, let ' s stand up and contribute something to this world that will be of lasting benefit to future generations. In closing, I would like to say, that we will never forget the many years of work, disappointment, and pleasure that we have spent in school, but we can ' t live on memories, so let ' s set new goals to strive for on the ladder of success and look forward to the future . fJtJ Jo cX Fun at the Dance Graduation Diplomas Scholarship Winner Scholarship Winner Graduation Diplomas Fun at the Dance M%1 v i W [r I IISffK. 1  uv ' V H mJBHHHPvHB GARNET AND GREY DAY MISS GARNET AND GREY r Marilyn Meadows Garnet and Grey day was held on the sixth of February. It was sponsored by Yearbook, G.A.A., and B.A.A. Everyone w ore school colours to promote school sp- irit throughout our school. The day st- arted as usual but at noon tug-of-wars, and three-legged baseball took place. S chool was dismissed at 2.20 so that ever yone could go to the Miss Garnet and Gre y contest and the Basketball game betwee n the teachers and the boy ' s team. The school band then played for a short sock hop. At 7.30 p.m. the evenings events be gan. First the senior girls basketball team challenged the junior boys to a bas ketball game. Then two teams of girls t ried their luck at floorhockey. At 8.30 p.m. it was time to dance. Music was supplied by the Concords. Dur ing the intermissions we had a pie eatin g, kissing booth and the Miss Garnet and Grey winner was announced. Those running for Miss Garnet and G rey were Terry Slezack, Pat Breen, Linda Buff am, and Marilyn Meadows. The winner Marilyn Meadows. was chosen by a panel of judges after an impromptu speech was mad e, a Garnet and Grey outfit was judged, and looks and poise were considered. Ru nner up was Terry Slezack. Congradulations to those who sponso red this year ' s Garnet and Grey Day. It was a very successful day, and proved th at N. W. S.

The boys were defeated by the Teachers College team. The boys also played f- loorhockey Monday night but were defe- ated 5-3. Tuesdav night was the trap shoot- ing event which Northwestern was succ- essful in winning. Wednesday night proved to be very exciting. The N.W.S.S. qirls won the Tug-of-War after Central ' s boys quit pulling with the girls. Our boys def- eated Central in two easy pulls. Cen- tral defeated us in the three-legged baseball by a score of 2-0. Thursday niaht ' s events began wi- th a broomball game between the girls ' teams. Central won 2-0. N.W.S.S. bo- ys were successful in defeating Centr- al 3-1. The teachers then played, and although the trophy went to Central, our teachers plaved well and couldn ' t be expected to score when Central tur- ned their net around backwards. The qirls then tried their luck at hockey but were defeated 2-0 by Central. Friday night, the schools headed for the uptown area to run the relay. Northwestern was declared the winner of this event. The pie eating contest was to be held but Central defaulted, giving Northwestern a win. At night a Talent Show was held at Northwestern with both schools taking part. The end result of all our hard w- ork was a tie with Central. Congratu- lations to all those who took part in these events. Next year, let ' s take sole possession of first place. N c yj ' i ' • ' ?

There were four schools participating: Goderich Collegiate, South Huron District High School, Stratford Central and Northwestern. There was a full audience on hand to observe the dramatic talents that were so ably displayed that evening in Goderich. South Huron presented their play Sunday Costs Five Pesos first on the programme. It was a good performance, but it was far too heavy in its tempo and the adjudicator commented on the lack of variety in the speech and actions of the characters. Goderich District Collegiate presented An Overpraised Season a play dealing with the attitudes and ideas of young people. It was well presented but showed signs of lack of practice and some poor casting. Stratford Central presented Aria Da Capo , a well rehearsed play directed by Ela Moll. The play deals with the greed and coveteousness of humanity and it illustrated what befalls man when his greed rules his emotions. The best received play of the evening was Northwestern ' s production Orange Blossom . Under the direction of Wyman Jones and the guidance of Mr. Coleman, the cast, who had worked un- ceasinly on their roles presented a play that was a hit for the audience, many of whom found themselves identifying wit h the characters. The adjudicator, Mrs. R. J. Stevenson, praised the work of Larry Jarrett, who played the role of Fred Ashford. Vicki Adair, one of our most promising actresses was also singled out for special mention. Miss Adair did an outstanding job playing the role of the overbearing Mother, Mrs. Duckworth. We again witnessed the agony of defeat, but through it all our students and the cast enjoyed presenting a paly that an audience can enjoy, and the theatre goers of Goderich, both young and old, who attended the Collegiate Drama Festival, enjoyed the North- western entry. Our school will miss the director of this year ' s entry, Wyman Jones, who is graduating and going on to further his studies, I feel confident that there will be someone to fill the spot vacated by Wyman and am sure that the day is not far off when Northwestern Secondary School is going to be heard of in the field of Drama.

Top honours last year were received by Bill Ebel who participated in various activities such as Foot- ball, Basketball, Track and Field, Badminton, B.A.A. and Services. Congratulations Bill! Bill was closely rivaled by Lon Adair our Basketball and Football star who also took part in Track and Field, Gymnastics, B.A.A. and Services, and by George Van Slyck who offered his skills in Basketball, Football, Track and Field and B.A.A. Ed Flach contributed to our athletic teams in Rowing, Track and Field, and B.A.A. Among our weaker sex, outstanding participants were Mary Bedard renowned for her poise in Basketball, Track and Field, and G.A.A.; Cathy Carter noted for her glorious moments in Basketball, Volleyball, G.A.A. and Services; and last but not least, Sharon Broadfoot also active in Basketball, Volleyball, G.A.A. and Services. SENIOR FOOTBALL SENIOR FOOTBALL In my opening I feel that it is only fitting that the team extends their thanks to the coaches — Mr. McMillan and Mr. Pirrie, for their fine efforts in making the HUSKIES a highly spirited team and also for giving up much of their valuable leisure time. Also thanks go to the staff and students of N.W.S.S, supporting us throughout the season. for This year in our Perth-Huron Conference, the HUSKIES faced five outstanding teams — Goderich, Clinton, St. Mary ' s, Seaforth, and Wingham. We may have lost, but the many bruised, battered players from these five teams can tell you that the HUSKIES get harder to beat every year. This year was a great one for rival victory when we ventured to that place across the river and really showed them how to play football. It was a cloudless, beautiful day when we walked on to that field. Everything was going our way. We knew if we won it would make our school proud of us. Our quarterback, Dan Gardner, played his most sensational game of the season by leading us to a 21-6 victory over Central. I won ' t mention any names because I would have to list all the players and space doesn ' t allow it. None of us are stars; just a gang working to make a school feel proud. Next year we may even bring home the championship. SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM -Wp G f ' ilr cT ' FRONT: Bill Pletsch, Peter Smith, John Beck.

This was a vear of rebuilding and changes for the Huskies as all but one of last vear ' s team graduated, and only one junior made the grade to fill the remaininn starting positions. With a lot of hard work and a heavy exhibition season the team became one of the best balanced and the highest scoring team Northwestern has produced in its young historv. Dan ' Gardner ' and Bill Ebel lead the scoring f or the Huskies but John Ellis and John Beck had over a ten point a game average to back them up. This year the Huskies went to a man to man defence as a main defence for the first time and it oroved very effective as all their games were won or lost by slight margins. We aive a special thanks to the coach of the team, Mr. James, and to Chris Long, the manager. Paul Schlotzhauer (indicating item on menu) - I think I ' ll have some of that.

This year our basketball team worked hard and after several matches they finally found success in their game against Listowel, On Saturday morning, February 10, the excitement in the Girls ' Gym ran high, affecting each member of the team, who responded by trouncing Listowel 18 to 10. The same afternoon we faced our arch-rival Central who reaped the benefits of our tiring morning encounter and, reversed the trouncing to a score of 42 to 7. Other teams we faced included: South Huron, St. Clinton, Mitchell, Wingham, Goderich, and Seaforth. Marys , The girls wish to thank Mrs. Thompson for her help and guidance throughout the games.

The large team worked hard and the long exhibition season helped to make the boys a strong contender in their league. The team leaped off to a fast start winning three games in a row but as the season matured they ran out of steam, losing some real close ones . Next year, however, should be a very good year because most of the team will return and be a better team member, so Perth- Huron look out, a champion is in the making.

Although the girls spent many long hours in the gym on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 3:40 to 5:00 p.m. they were not suc- cessful in winning any games this year. The teams we faced included: South Huron, St. Marys, Clinton Mitchell, Wingham, Goderich, Listowel, Seaforth.and Central. Again the girls wish to extend sincere thanks to Mrs. Thompson for the many hours she spent with the teams.

It was a frustrating year but an enjoyable one. The team performed well in the Perth-Huron tournament. They had a few bad breaks - but its all in the game, There were many rookies on the team, but they can become the nucleus of the squad next year. Having a Grade XIII will be an advantage for the future. Experience is necessary for a contending team. Look Out! Our hopes are high. Beward Central, there is a dark horse (Northwestern) in the crowd. All boys are invited to tryout for next year ' s team - and: to taste success.

Spike , Point , Side down , -- these words could be heard echoing from Gym 3 as an enthusiastic team practiced for games. The girls ' vim, vigour and vitality paid off when they tied for first place with Central at the first in- vitation tournament in October. Teams from Listowel, St. Marys, Mitchell and Central met at Northwestern and results were three wins each for Northwestern and Central. Our girls must have given competing schools quite a scare because when they came back for the final tournament here all the teams seemed to be much more skilfull. The girls played well. However, they were edged out and placed fourth. Better luck in ' 68, girls. Mr. Conroy: How can I correct this: I ain ' t had no fun all summer ? Neil Taylor: Try another summer resort.

From the enthusiastic turnout for the ' 67 team Mrs. Thompson chose those pictured. Although every effort was put forth by the girls, the team didn ' t quite make the grade. Somehow luck was against our Juniors and although they played well, keen competition from other schools resulted in their down- fall. Our thanks goes to Mrs. Thompson for her expert coaching, inspiring spirit and tireless patience. Also, we would like to commend the team for their valiant attempt and wish them better luck next year. Work without material gain, Is the hardest work of Life.

On October the fifth Northwestern ' s annual track and field meet proved very successful with eleven records broken by girls and twenty-one broken by boys. It seems that the potential of Northwestern s athletes is increasing with every year and this is a bright picture of future happenings to look forward to. What will happen next year? Well hopefully we should expect another thirty- two records to be broken. Despite a few skinned knees and scraped elbows as souvenirs of our local Olymic meet it turned out to be a gay and f unfilled day for everyone competing. Finally, our congratulations go to the winners, all those who participated and especially to our forever dutiful teachers who were responsible for organizing such a successful day in our history.

About forty members along with their teacher coaches, Messrs. MacLeod, Halliwell and Schlotzhauer , spent a very interesting day at the Reaatta. Stratford entered two crews in the coxed fours, one from Cent- ral and one from Northwestern. If we. learned nothing else from our experiences that dav it was the sobering fact that one hundred per cent physical fitness is an absolute must in rowing. There is no substitute for regular training along with the will to win. Training pro- grammes have been drastically revised! The Club ' s efforts last spring en- abled us to complete a handsome eighty- foot dock. This year we hope to start work on a boathouse of our own which will eliminate the long haul up the hill.

And Goldilocks lived happily ever after MM THE QUALITIES OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP Courage Truthfulness Ability Self-control Discipline Self-respect Consideration Honesty Perseverance Loyalty Self-confidence Brotherhood Enjoyment Physical fitness Co-operation Courtesy Fairness Boldness An excerpt f rom one of Sir Henry Newbolt ' s most famous poems, Play up and play the game is the true meaning of sportsmanship. It is the motto of the true sportsman whether he is on the ball field, the tennis court, the golf course or at a desk or machine. To be a real sportsman one must be a cheerful loser and a generous winner. Playing the game means revealing loyalty, courage, enjoyment and above all fairness. Loyalty is the faithful adherence one has to his friends, his school, and the sports in which he participates. If a student is a member of a team, he must not let it down. He must attend practices, meetings, and games. The success of the team depends on his loyalty. Each member of the team must contribute his loyalty so that the group can work as a team with true team spirit . By co-operating with his team mates and coach, a student learns that co-operation is a reguisite of happy living. Sportsmanship in any activity or team sport is the ability to accept graciously defeat as well as victory. If one possesses this much-cherished auality he will be able to face life with reality and without fear. The winning team is not always the best team. The latter, in the eyes of all, is the team that shows courage, courtesy and self-respect. To have these gualities is a better win that the game itself. The athlete that enjoys his sport is one who is both willing and eager to do the best that he can for his team. The love of the sport will be enough to supply the determination and drive that a good athlete must have to excel. An athlete first engages in sports because he enjoys the game and expects to excel in it. He gets enjoyment from meeting new people, and becoming friends with them even though he is their competitor. People who enjoy sports seldom become bored with life. Most important of all the gualities of a good sportsman are fair-play and honesty. There are rules in every game as in life and once one learns to abide by these he becomes a better player and a better citizen. Can one doubt that a sense of honour on the golf course or an inward compulsion to do the fair thing on the playing field will find its expressions in the vocations and dealings of men? If this were not so, the games and sports of a nation would make but little contribution to the character of its citizens. Therefore, fairness and honesty are as great a good to society and to the individual as are the physical values attained from athletics. These gualities of sportsmanship will help the individual to face both the successes and failures of life. Pat Lane, 12D CHEERLEADERS FRONT: Chris Widenmaier, Judy Roedding, Terry Slezack.

Although the matter of choice was a difficult one, eight girls were chosen to cheer our teams to their victories—one being the smashing defeat of Central at the Red Feather Kick Off Football Game. We picked up a second for our efforts in the Perth-Huron Cheerleading contest. For the first time since our school opened we had a chance to go to a Cheerleading clinic in Toronto. We all enjoyed the day very much and feel it was most helpful to us through out our year of cheering. This year, much more emphasis was put on action with our cheers and we were all so pleased with our new uniforms. Rah I Rahl. Rahi for the Cheerleaders.

Each year new representatives and executive are picked by the students to represent the students themselves. The Student Council controls all the money of the clubs in the school, the dances, and activities that try to boost school spirit. This year the Student Council held the Red. ' Feather Dance, the Graduation Dance, and the Booster Button Blitz. All were very Successful. We also sold rings to the graduating classes of this year (1967-68). The Student Council meetings are held every Monday. Here we take attendance, read the minutes, discuss the mail, and take care of any other business on hand.

The club, con- sisting of 60 members was divided into 6 groups: The Pharoahs, The Minoans , The Gracchi, The Tudors , The Jacobins and Les Coureur des Bois. A meeting was held every second Wednesday evening at 7.30 p.m. in the homes of the members and each group alternatively was responsible for the refreshments and entertainment provided at each meeting. The club ' s aim is to cultivate in its members an appreciation of culture, politics and history and each meeting was designed to promote this aim. At our first meeting Mr. S. Wilson, a member of Northwestern ' s staff, showed slides on France accompanied by an interesting talk. Another time Mr. S. Perotta, formerly with CJCS , discussed the importance of radio and its use as a news media. Rev. Orlo Miller captivated his audience with a talk on his famous book, The Donnellys Must Die. Relating the bloody and brutal massacre of the Donnellys and the events preceding and following the massacre, Mr. Miller attempted to show the research necessary and the problems encountered by a historian. Professor J. J. Bowden, of Althouse College of Education, took the club on a tour through Renaissance Italy. Another time Mr. L. Kearsley, again of Northwestern ' s staff, led a very enlightening discussion on Viet Nam, causes, problems and plausible solutions. This spring the club was off on a three day excursion to our capital, Ottawa. Staying at the .Lord Elgin Hotel, the club visited the Parliament Buildings, Peace Tower, Royal Mint, War Museum, National Art Gallery, Foreign Embassies and Government House, the Governor General ' s Residence.

This year the club helped to sponsor Garnet and Grey Day as well as hhe Winter Carnival teams entered by our school. This was a group of fine individuals working for the promotion of our school and they all deserve a special note of thanks.

Thomas Arnold GYMNASTICS CLUB FRONT: Ken Crawford, Claus Koeppe, George Davis, BACK: Bob Etue, Alec Kelly, Bruce Comley. For a school with a student body as large as ours, the number of boys and girls interested in gymnastics is very small. The girls outnumber the boys by a ratio of two to one. This is very unusual in that, in most parts of the world, gymnastics is a sport dominated by men. The gymnastic club was asked to put on a display between the first and second halves of a Basketball game. Considering the short notice which the boys received in which to prepare, and considering that we did not have a complete rehearsal, and considering they had never performed in a display of this kind, the boys put on a show in which they can be justly proud. The girls unfortunately could not take par t in the display as most of their team was away playing basketball. Gymnastics is a sport which requires a tremendous amount of co-ordination between mind and body, stamina and muscle control. If you have the former two and are prepared to take a few hard knocks aquiring the latter there is no reason why you too cannot become a gymnast.

One of the new organizations of this year, the Northwestern Badminton Club aroused enthusiasm among the student body. In the winter term, staff advisor and coach, Mr. Gates, selected players from the ciub to represent Northwestern as a school team. The team competed in the Winter Carnival Tourna- ment, in specially arranged inter-school tournaments, and finally in the big Huron-Perth competition. If one tournament is to be remembered more than the others, it is probably the Winter Carnival one which was held at the Stratford Badminton Club. Out of doers, the snow was crisp and crackling in the sub-zero temperatures, and indoors it was every bit as cold - 5° below to be exact. Players from six schools - dressed in shorts, sweat shirts, scarfs, and gloves - competed breathlessly in the extreme cold. You ' ve got to be an enthusiast to play under these conditions! Players from Northwestern included Mary Dempsey, Dianne Salter, Bill Ebel, Peter Smith, Norma Blundell, Mike Dale, and Ron Zinn. Other players making up the school team were Gary Brennan, Chris Long and Debbie Trotter. While the Winter Carnival meet was perhaps the most unusual, one of the most satisfying was an inter-school meet held at our own school. The girls doubles team of Mary Dempsey and Dianne Salter defeated the arch-rival Central girls, and were undefeated in the entire competition. SKI CLUB 4 t n- . .

CHESS CLUB FRONT: Jim Kelly, David Ruston, Brad Macswain, Deiter Breitenback, Richard Bethune, FRONT: Cheryl Hess, Lynn Hess . BAND The idea of the formation of a school band was first brought to me by Mr. Angus Munro. The first obstacle was to find a staff advisor. Mr. Conroy accepted the challenge and it has thus proved successful and rewarding for us. The first meeting was successful. As was expected, a few dropped out after our first meeting and we were left with our present group. The weeks that followed were full of hard work and practise. Then, after what seemed to be a very long period we performed. Although there were mistakes and disorder, it was thought of to be fairly successful. From here on, we moved onto more intricate songs which required more work. Our present plans are to play as many functions as possible including a trip to Cheseley. The group includes: director and arranger, Earl Filsinger, singer: Dave Burns, Larry Jarret, Al Holt, and Beverly Sholdice. Guitars: Tom Kirkby, Jim Deem, stew Hill, Ed Deem, Ken Russell. Accordians: Linda Lindner, Bill Koert. Drums: Alec Kelly, Chris McKew, Trumpet: Bob Pope. Organ: George Rupert. Staff Advisor: Mr. Conroy. BALLAD OF THE LOST These are men, not such as you, They ride beneath the skies of blue. They raise a protest with their voice, These are the men of Satan ' s Choice. They have no use for society ' s way, Or for confusion in the world today; To live their lives just having fun, Wild and free beneath the sun. They live each day as it comes Some people gripe and call them bu ' ms But they laugh and say, Who car While they ignore those icy s$ar Free to run wild and loud, Draw the eyes from a crowd Living easy, free from boun Run from slavering police h These are men, not such as $oV They rode beneath the skies pf olu They came, the vicious sireriV wail Which plunged them, lost, f a£ into ding over hill and dale, Trying to keep out of jail. All the police men think we ' re queer ust because we ' re free from fear. air is long, e .dom shave, _ ve no money, we never save Food is scarce, Excitement high, If you don ' t like this poem, Please, tell us why. You ' ll see us come. You ' ll hear the voice Of the many riders Of Satan ' s Choice . Stuart Romphf, 10E 100 YEARS OF WHAT? The Express came to a silent almost jarring halt and with a swish ooened its portals to admit an onslaught of smells and pandemonium associ- ated with the typical visitors to Expo. I happened to be occupying a double seat next to the window and was promptly joined by a slim, well tanned fellow burdened down like a pack mule with an assortment of cameras and accessories. Upon settling all his luaaage into suitable positions, he turned and introduced himself, Hello there, I ' m Sam Sneeze from California, he said extending his hand. Pleased to meet you, I am Cecil Roth from Ontario, I replied clutch- ing his hand. This sure is some country you have up here. I travelled through Ontario on my trip up and was really quite amazed at the way things are built up around here, exclaimed Sam. Yeah, we ' re rather civilized alright, I replied. Well you ' re really fortunate in Canada. I haven ' t seen a single Nearo in my travels and they ' re quite a problem back in the States, said Sam with a distraught expression. I guess it ' s the weather up here. It gets pretty darn cold in the winter and I don ' t think the Negroes care too much for the cold, I said nonchalantly. I ' ve read all about the Indians and the Eskimos of Canada and hoped I ' d be able to meet a few, said Sam, producing a glossy volume of Canada Our Next State. Not much chance of that, I commented The Eskimos don ' t come this far south. They all live up around the North Pole. It ' s too warm for them down here, I assured him. You will however, be able to see some of our Indians. We ' ve got them all packed into reservations same as you have. There is one about fiftv miles from where I live. Its along a beautiful beach at Kettle Point, but the reservation itself is a pretty rundown affair. It sort of spoils the resort and I ' ve heard the government has offered to build them an island in Lake Huron and was going to give them a few cases of hair tonic to boot, I informed him. Yes it ' s better if they are kept to themselves. It helps to preserve their culture, added Sam. I ' ve already been to the U. S. pavilion and they have a splendid display of some relics of Indian culture. Did you see all those beautiful silver saddles and spurs our cowboys once used? Well, they had Pecos Bill ' s original six shooter, the one he killed a hundred and twenty Indians with, spurted Sam with a burst of pride that showed he was a true jQexican. Yes, Expo was an excellent ample of the goodwill and brotherhood of men, I concluded as we bojfef a upland left the Express. Hyde, 12A ? The Sun I (emphasized) am the sun. To me that is quite an unique statement; which should have raised a few eye-brows, aroused your curiosity or some- thing to that effect. You must realize that this is the first time during my entire boring existence that I have had the opportunity to express myself. You see, the life of a sun is really quite monotonous • After spending millions of centu- ries in one spot, where nothing can reach me, and where I can reach nothing, one can easily become quite lonesome and frustrated. Many a time and oft (a quotation from Shakespeare) have I desired to project myself amongst that maze of stars and galaxies; to be free; to fulfill my inner-most desires. ; As you probably have realized I radiate quite intense heat. This is another one of my staggering handicaps. You may benefit by my warm rays, but to me it is a hazard. Once I tried to make friends with a stray bird, well you can imagine the outcome. By nowVou are probably asking yourself, just what am I trying to tell you. Well.. I am putting in a plug for more astronauts; so that some day someone can pluck me from the heavens, or douse this infuriating heat. Ursula Schmitte, Looking from my window, at the freshly fallen snow. That sparkles as it tumbles upon the street below. I see a small child so young and meek, Building a snow man, across the street. And the crackle of fire is laughing in my ear. And the room is warm and sleepy, I wish you could be here. Sundays in this town, there ' s not a lot to do. I was listening to my records But my thoughts all turn to you, I try to read the magazine But the words aren ' t very clear. And I know there ' s something missing, I wish you could be here.

A great English Educator, hearing of the fame of Northwestern S. S. be- came determined to visit our outstand- ing establishment during his tour of Canada to discover the secret of our success for himself. After discussions with the upper echelon and the lower echelon and much sniffinq and ah-haing he finally seemed satisfied. Curious about his visit I asked him what, of all the wonders he had beheld in our great learning insti- tute, he considered to be the most outstandinq contribution to our success, Turning his head slightly he stared with penetrating gaze through the glass surroundina our administration area and in a low reverent voice uttered this memorable adulation; Never in the history of Man have so many owed so much to so few.
