VISIT OF AN EX-STUDENT 0n K ay 12, the Grade 12 History classes were visited by Mr. Weldon Findlay, brother of the Vice-Principal of this school. Mr. Findlay is a graduate of Essex High and 0. A. C. The purpose of his visit was to acquaint us with the various tribes, tongues and customs of Nigeria—his , ‘7® or the P ast eight years. Nigeria is about the size of Ontario, and yot n.3.s more than twice the population of Canada. Foup hundred inches of rain fell there in some areas compared with forty inches’in. Canada. We learned that the country has three political divisions, of which ine main tribes and languages are Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo. Mr. Findlay also spoke to us concerning the economical, educational, and -political development of Nigeria. This development has been very rapid since the end of World War II and in October, I960, Nigeria will r-ave complete independence from Britain and becomes a member of the Bri¬ tish Commonwealth of Nations. 1 • Mr. Findlay ' s talk was throughly enjoyed and we hope that he will visit us again on his next trip-home.
