Pat Moss and Social Services Club The Pat Moss Club is alive and well! Its thirty members have been working hard to set up the new organization that consists of a merger between the Social Services Club and the Pat Moss Camp project. The new set-up consists of three departments: 1) the fund raising committee, 2) the maintenance committee, and 3) the social services committee. Each committee has two representa- tives that form part of the Knights of the Round Table , a group that meets to organize the whole operation. The chair- man is the Right Reverend, Reverend Wright. Money is needed to support three foster children, to sponsor a summer camp in the country for kids from downtown Toronto, and to give to charity. The maintenance committee is in charge of cleaning and maintaining the Pat Moss Camp. The social services committee visits the elderly at the Hope Haven Rest Home, the handicapped girls at the Anglican Special School, and others who need assistance or company. The Pat Moss Club is modeled after the school club by the same name which was set up by Angus Scott when he was a housemaster. At that time, the club was an elite activity nol unlike a fraternity. Two surviving members are now masters at the school and kindly explained to the whole organization how they used to invite only certain people to join, and how they built the buildings up at Pat Moss Camp and helped the sick and elderly in Port Hope. In the near future, the club intends to have some fun week- ends up at the camp both to help get it in shape, and for the sheer pleasure of being in the open. 12-School Life

another year, and the no vacancy sign is flashing outside the Campbell Hilton. Under the proprie- ip of Mac and Phil the house appears to be headed for an eventful year. Those of us who felt ss of Chris Grove last year at graduation, have taken heart at the rise of a prospective replacement: i Wilson. e dorms have been very good this year. In bottom dorm, a distinct smell of glue is present, although n claims that it is for his rocket. In middle dorm, the opposite occurs, and in between midnight swims, morning jogs, and the like, many plots and sub-plots are born. the old faithfuls, Tommy Tawo is still short, but he can now reach the top of the net. Blackie and Bill ever here when on duty, but they always have an excellent excuse! Wolfman Jack has won the award ae most original room; it was rumoured that an after hours disco might open. Also, we can claim re- ition for the first waterfall in any house, thanks to Rob Hick Haggarty. ■iously, the house has good spirit and we do have a number of boys on the Headmaster ' s Distinction n sports we have a fine selection of good athletes, but there are those who enjoy the better schedule ulti-Hack. We feel that if everyone contributes some of their talents to the benefit of the house, we to win the house cup. So, let ' s go Ketchum, show ' em we ' re better! Bethune House ontrary to popular belief, Bethune House is not a bad place to live. We ' ve got a lot going for us this r, I mean, why shouldn ' t we? We ' ve got half the United Nations here. Our tenants come from as far iy as Mexico, Lebanon, Czechoslovakia, the list would cover half the world ' s countries. )ur new boy crop definitely does not lack aggressiveness and seem to be participating in most activities ?red around the school. he variance of talent and character spread throughout the house is keeping masters Godfrey and Hed- active, but I don ' t think anyone would disagree if I said it ' s certainly adding to house spirit and build- up a certain level of unity. I think we ' ve got the right combination to make this a successful and en- able year in the house. One last note, we are determined not to finish last in the house competitions.

Unlike past years we have not been and hot be able to rely upon a core of experienced, mely talented debaters to carry the bulk of the .. As a result, this year ' s program has been ■d to involve as many people in as many debat- ituations as possible. Every Wednesday night clubs are active, the Junior and the Inter- ate. ie latter is an idea conceived, organized and by James Bursey with invaluable assistance Chad Dakin. They have already had a team ? up of Steve Thomson, Rich Wilson and John re win at Havergal. The work done by this p is certain to raise the standard of debating e school. le Juniors, under Phil Pinnington and Rod wood, have finally settled to seriously debate. that they have, the amount of talent the p possesses is being fully realized. Seagram Walton have done well, along with other not- Rich, Little, Galpin, Hawker, and Holland, f whom have debated for the school with en- aging success. ar first series of debates were Intramural, $ned to uncover talent in the school and to give debaters a chance to experience speaking in hall. The Appleby Tournament provided the test. James Bursey again won it while B zy, aker, and Sculthorpe placed well. At St. Cle- ts three of the new talents represented the ol. Unfortunately they did not do very well. were Dunlop, Tench, and Miller. The first known as the Dynamic Duo also went to ergal for the tournament there. With Dakin did very well, an encouraging sign since in had been sick for a long period of time, delightful evening was enjoyed by the school n Super Liz and the lassies of Branksome came down. Andy Thomas and Ted Savage surprised everyone, including themselves, by speaking well. It was decided that Branksome should not move to Port Hope. Unfortunately the Fulford league has begun with two losses, to U.C.C. and Appleby. Mark Armstrong, Bart Sutherland, and Adam dePencier met a strong Upper Canada team at home, making a good stand as government supporting the re- institution of departmental exams. Although de- Pencier emerged as a solid debater it was obvious that the team was not prepared, a condition brought about by a previous week that was so full of annoying events, proper coaching was im- possible. At Appleby we were again the government sup- porting the resolution: Politics is an honour- able profession . Phil Pinnington, Sandy Gaus- den, and Larry Aitken did a very good job, but not enough to win. Not even a rather overpower- ing rebuttal by Pinnington sufficed to sway the judges ' close decision for Appleby. This year ' s executive is itself rather new to the game. The President is Phil Pinnington, the Speaker Rod Kirkwood, Mark Armstrong is the Secretary and James Bursey III is the Whip. Alain Wilson, though sick for a while, is doing a good job as Steward and our amiable Host is Rick Byers. Mr. Wilkinson has offered his help in coaching for which we are grateful. Of course the indomitable Mr. Lawson is still at the controls, as harried as ever. With the talent that is being uncovered the lea- gue debates that we have should be victories for us in the near future. Our only other aim is to involve more people in the program as the year progresses.
