Quebec Trip % ' -tA.All i During the winter tialf-term holiday, a group of students from the Junior and Senior Schools visited the Quebec Winter Car- nival.

The trip provided a full barrage of the city at the height of carnival - time - there were parades, fireworks and toboggan slides. The trip was highlighted by a lengthly trip up the St. Charles River around the north end of the city, by the canoe race over the ice of the St. Lawrence, and by various individual outings that resulted in some fine sight- seeing.

There was a one-day excursion from Rome to Pompeii or Capri and a short stop in Siena during the drive from Florence to Rome. Apart from the rich store of cultural attractions enjoyed by the group, there was also a suc- cession of memorable meals eaten in delightfully charac- teristic restaurants and tratorie .
