WE STUDENTS ' FEDERA TION It has been half a decade since The Federation began. The Federation — an organiza- tion for us all. Haifa decade is a long time. Time to do much, to plan much. We perform a social service — we have a place where children who have very little may come and share something with us. We ' ve shared books, thoughts, hot dogs, ice cream, and Santa Claus. We ' ve sung songs, played games, and watched cartoons. And who has had the most fun? There are opportunities for us all. A work of art, a revolutionary invention, or a suc- cessful experiment can be displayed. Drama Clubs perform before a varied audience — fellow schools. Social comment, poems, stories, speeches, reports, announcements, reviews, all appear in a news-letter. Neither do we abandon the celluloid jungle, and ama- teur movie-makers are welcomed. We join together in all these activities, and whether we use Sacred Heart ' s gym for drama night, L.C.C. ' s Hghts, St. George ' s press experience. The Study ' s and Traf ' s know- how for a Christmas party, or Loyola ' s dance organization — we ' re two thousand strong, and we can do so much.

CHRISTMAS CAROL SERVICE 1969 RED CROSS The Red Cross, one of many world-wide organiza- tions, has been helping underprivileged countries stave off poverty and famine since 1859. Two of its many small branches are located in Traf: one High School and one Junior Branch, and our executive has been very active this year. The High School Branch organized a clothes trade, a calendar sale, a movie showing, and two health kit drives. The Junior Branch gave bake sales which made .124.00 for the Biafra Fund, and they are now selling calendars. We would all like to thank Liane Schachter, President, Gail Gilbert, Vice-President, Laura Parmeggiani, Secre- tary of the Committee, and Miss Templeton, Staff Ad- visor, for their dedication and hard work. THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE CLUB This year, many enthusiastic Biology students have turned the lab into a miniature zoo. The animal inven- tory is presently as follows: one hamster (Hermie); eigh- teen chicken eggs; six white, brown and black mice, and lots more arriving soon! An incubator has been set up to observe the development of chick embryos, an egg being opened at various stages in the development. The hamster up to now has not served any purpose except cause worry by his habit of biting off fingers, arms, etc. The mice are to serve as the subjects of various experi- ments which they will gradually be made to undergo. Sophisticated experiments are not planned: many of the future biologists are having great difficulty in dis- tinguishing the males from the females (this is of great importance, especially when breeding is the prime ob- jective). It is to be anticipated that breeding will be the experiment that will be the most successful as very little interference, if any, is required for good results. All in all, many interesting things are being learnt and everyone is having a great deal of fun.

EngHsh Jingle Bells Pierpont Jolly Old St. Nicholas The Huron Carol Brebeuf We Wish You a Merry Christmas English Recessional: 0 Come All Ye Faithful The bilingual Christmas Carol Concert of December eighteenth had as its theme Christmas in Canada . Be- fore each of the lesser-known songs, a Third Former read aloud a short paragraph describing its origin. Most songs were accompanied by guitars and, in three songs, by recorders. Cathy Cash played Beethoven ' s Romance Opus 21 on the violin, making the evening more varied. One notable departure from the pattern of other years was that the songs were sung by the school as a whole, rather than by individual classes. This led to a decided increase in, not only volume, but also the num- ber of girls who knew the words. The Fifth Form art class, with Mrs. Ridolfi ' s help, de- signed and painted the backdrop Nativity scene. The performance went fairly smoothly, and the guests seemed to enjoy the evening very much. We would like to thank Miss Hopson for devoting so much time and effort to make this a success. Vivien Law Form V B Cumming House 18
