'Ll an .m' im1 f A TRIP TO TORONTO .A .' x -Looking'forward to the exciting day to follow, Grade Nine pupils stepped into the bus at seven fifteen in the morning, It was a day with the big sun glowing through the windowsg While the main purpose of the trip was to see the museum, we stopped first of all at the Parliament Buildings, To our disappointment the buildings were closed. However, we got a big kick out of just seeing them. ' Our chartered bus chugged through the heavy traffic until she finally pulled up to the museum, Inside we all trotted, eager to explore the huge unknown building, I could not begin to describe everything we saw Perhaps the most interesting thing was the aminerology section where there were diamonds, rubies, pearls, opals and jewels of all shapes and sizes, There was a crystal cave - the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, They were heavenly pink and fit Zhr the bed of a king, We saw methods and means of erosion and conservation in one room, while in another we saw hugs skeletons of dinosaurs and pre-historic creatures. The Chinese tomb was queeriasd the collection of old dresses was very interesting, By noon everyone was simply famished and after lunch we crowded into the bus and drove to the zoo, We stayed for about an hour looking at buffalo, kangaroo, birds of all kinds, brave and majestic looking lions and tigers and last, but not least, several squealing monkeys, Leaving the zoo, we headed for Casa Loma where we were led on a guided tour through the buildings. It was simply beautiful. It was built by Sir Henry Pelatt during the First World War. The panelling in each room was exquisitely done. There was a wedding there so we could not see all the rooms. We trudged through a long tunnel to see the carriage room and the stables. We also went up some twisting, winding wire steps to an Observation Tower where we looked out over the city, ' Aaamany of the students had never been to an airport, we drove out to Halton. We looked for a while at planes landing and taking off, then had dinnerg and once more boarded the bus. Y heme at last 'tired and dreary, but fascinated by the of' UA Trip To Toronto'.W H L . 1 L..- A . .
