STRATFORD TRIP At six o ' clock Saturday morning September 26th., 1964, thirty-five sleepy students with Mrs. Blyth, Mrs. Aldous and Mrs. Fraser boarded a bus and set off to Stratford, For seven hours we amused ourselves by singing, reading, laughing, joking and catching up on our lost sleep. On the way up we made a stop at a way- side restaurant where everyone filled up on toast and coffee. By one o ' clock, we had finally reached our destination. After a picnic lunch in the park, we entered the theatre and took our seats. The first play, Richard 11 was marvellous. William Hutt, who portrayed King Richard performed, splendidly. Afterwards, we walked back to the Windsor Hotel and were assigned to our rooms. Utterly famished, we collected in the dining room and ate a delicious meal of chicken. That night, we travelled by bus to the theatre and saw The Country Wife . This was very comical, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Dead tired, we scrambled into our separate rooms into our beds, and were soon fast asleep. Next morning after breakfast, the majority of us went to St. James Anglican Church. After the service we were back on the road. , On our return to Ottawa, we stopped at the Binnie ' s farm. Here we had a huge buffet lunch, while we enjoyed the company of the household pets and the farm animals. Then we were on our way once more, leaving Stratford and the farm, and all the fun of that weekend far behind. We were now looking ahead to the time when we would arrive back home, safe and sound, and full of exciting news to tell about our wonderful trip to Stratford.
