Famous macs To name just a few of them, there’s the Macintosh apple axiC raincoat, hack Sennett, the Mack truck. Hack the Knife, MacBlo, the Big Mac ana the V;ee Hack. Ivever heard of the wee hack? Let me tell you about it. In the summer of '2u, when Bv and iDdna Minions were awaiting the arrival of their third child, the family opted for a home birth. Unaoubtedly, one of the reasons for this decision was that the Minions had gotten to know i^rse MacGregor quite well, Todaler i^rma, about to shift from younger child to that of 'middle» had been laid low with a case of mastoiditis, not uncommon then, but almost unheard of today ana nurse MacGregor had been looking in on the little tyke almost daily. Just out from Scotlanb ana staying with her brother, Tommy, a local butcher. Miss MacGregor was in need of practical nursing experience ana Bdna Minions and Dr. Fred Stainsby were quite willing to provide it, at least in the obstetrical department. As the last days of August wound down, the excitement of anticipation at the little Clyde Avenue house geared up. All along, lairse MacGregor had referred to uhe unborn babe as her "wee Mac" and when he finally arrived on the 2?th of rhe month, it seemed most fitting that his parents named him Mack. Maybe the next tLms you're crossing McDonald's paricing lot, heading for chips and a Big Mac, you'll give a thought to Lhe pavement under your feet where 1L[36 Clyde usea to be, ana where >jee Hack was born. "THD MOkD THINGS CHAnGB, THxii mOBB THBY STAY TH^ SAMB" Reading over the following excerpt from the l^Uh-U^ "westerly" entitled "The Debating Club", by Don Ross, one is reminded of that adage. In paragraph two, neither of the debaters speaking in favour of joining the U.B.A., believed in it and yet they were able to sway the juages to their point of view. In current free trace talks, Brian Mulroney could use those two. On the subject of the privately owned B.C, Electric, it was, as we know, subsequently bought by the Provincial Government who now, under Premier Vander ZaLm, want to sell it back to us. It's too bad we don't know how the third debate was resolved but it would be a hot potato topic today. If, as statea in our newspapers, the teachers have been unsuccessful in re-introducing physical Education as a compulsory high school course, the question is, would the military accept our youth at all? "The Greater Vancouver High School Debating League was first organized early in October and '.Vest Van. was aSKed, if she were interested, to join. Two representatives were sent over to a meeting with representatives from other scnools to organize a central body that would outline the events for a year. During the past few months west Van has come up against three of the seven schools participating and has emerged the winner of only one, although all were well contested. The first debate was on January 27 at North Van High. The uopic, "Resolved That Canada Should Break Away From Britain and Join the U.S.A.", aid not appeal to the two speakers, Don Ross and Peggy Thompson, but they put up a good set of ai’gujnents for the affirmative, and won. Mr. John Hunt was one of the juages. On February lb at iVest Van the second debate was held, this time against North Burnaby. Our team, consisting of speakers J. Hunt and M. Beamer, again had the affirmative. This time, however, we were not so lucky ana i^rth Burnaby was the winner by a ver^ small margin. Phil LaMarche was the judge for Nest Van. Tne topic was, "Resolvea That the B.C. Electric Should Be provincially Ovmed and Operated".
