QUEBEC TRIP Quebec was.the objective of the school's annual trip. The previous summer Mrs. Sang- ster went to Quebec and reserved a hotel for the school, just behind the Chateau Frontenac. M. Jobidon, Proprietor au Jardin du Gozwenour was friendly and helpful. It was with his help that we found small, unknown restaurants, French movies and the vaudeville. When we gave our play, we met the students of the English High School. From this meeting, stemmed a party for us at the Y.M.C.A. where we really got to know the English boys and girls of Quebec. The night before we left for Williamstown, M. jobidon gave us a party. The Quebec students were invited and M. jobidon furnished a pianist and a fiddler. The trip was not without unusual events. In the course of it, nine students and two teachers came down with the flu. Several persons had to be left behind until they were well enough to travel. Although we ran into complications and things went wrong, everyone will remember the Quebec trip as the most interesting and best of them all.
