IN MEM RIAM The Molecule staff affectionately dedicates tHa Christmas issue to the memory of Mrs. Ina Glidden '09 or Ina Viola fWhitney, Prouty} Chamberlin, as she often called herself. Mrs. Glidden was born on November 2 , 1892, the daughter of Edwin and Marion (Whitney) Chamberlin, and the great-granddaughter of Edwin Prouty. Grammie Glidden”, as she was known to her many young friends, was doubtless the greatest supporter of Franklin High School, from the time of her graduation as valedictorian of her class—after completing her high school work in two and one-half years — until her death. She always supported school plays, suppers, card parties, and receptions. She enjoyed the Molecule. She would say, Ihave every issue that has ever been printed.” Mrs. Glidden was very public spirited. She represented the town in the State Legislature in Montpelier, was an ardent member of the Franklin Grange and Pamona Grange, and for many years served as town auditor. If one needed an organist Mrs. Glidden could play, with or without the notes, ohe concluded many years as organist of the East Franklin Church at the morning service on October 29, 1967. That afternoon she died—as she would have wished—still active, useful, young in spirit, and a friend to youth. We cherish her memory. - ... , Union 7 is becoming a reality. The 3tud.ent oounol representatives of the four schools involved have been mooting progressively in each of the four schools to discuss a name for tho now school. The three names submitted to the Union Board were Missis -quoi Valley Union School, C-reen Mountain Union School, and North eastern Union School. The Balfour representative was at the last meeting to discuss rinrs and seals. Through these meetings the representatives of the four schools are becoming acquainted with each other and their common problems, A picture of the Union School h 3 been received and is display in the office. Below is a copy of the letter which accompanied it. Mr., John Desrochers Principal, Franklin High School Fr ank1in, Ve rmon t Dear John, Enclosed s a picture of the new Union High School which you might like to have in your high school, Tho teachers, principals and residents of oka throe towns ir. Union 7 deserve a vote of thanks for making the bond vote so successful i Many thanks to you and your staff I Sincerely, John R, laBrake, S.S.E. Project Director . ■ TETEM-AerRS Do parents understand teenagers? Yos, to some extent. It depends upon what kind of parents you have. And it depends upon what kind of teenager you aro. I understand that this generation is some different than it was twenty-five years age, but it isn't going to be the same all your life. The teenagers today have more modern things than they did back in tho oarlier years. The parents today hato long hair, but is it really groovy ? It depends upon the way the boy looks; some look well with it and some don't. What's tho difference? They used to wear it that way back in tho days cf 'Washington. I don't soo why they can't wocr it long now; in fact it was much longer b-ck in George Washington's days. Tho drosses fnd skirts aro another subject about which to talk. Our parents complain be-causo our dresses cr skirts aro too short I like my drosses short but not too short. Tho dancos are different too. I think thoy aro really out of sight . Our parents say when wo g?t up on tho floor and danco wc don't oven know who our partner is. Thoy say the music is 30 loud that it's enough to knock your oar drums out. I think tho music has really got tho boat. Our dancos iron ' t asy worse than tho ones done 25 or 30 years ago; for instance tho Big Apple, tho Charleston, and J2- othor dances. At least when wl danco we keop our foot on the floor. Some of our parents say that we are too your O out on dates wh .n w„ teen or fifteen years old. Sv.t I don't agroe. I think it do-ponds upon the person. If ho or she is maturo onough and knows the responsibilities of going out on a auoe. I think the person could go. Besides I think it's bettor to sturt dating young than to be wild when your parents do lot you go out on a date. •ihon wo go out on dates v somotimes don't get in un j. 1:C0 or 2:00 in tho morning. They givo us a lecture and toll us, you're not going out tomorrow night; you're going to stay homo and got a good rest. You say, I have to, thero is a danco tomorrow and I want to soe how good the band is. I can stand it though, I don't roa'lly mind. But vhon you v ere young, when did you get in? Yet my parents do understand mo and I understand them very well. Susan Shcrrer '71 Dwight: How many Epglibhmon does it ta'co to boat ip a French man? Mr. Dosrochors: I don't know. Dwight: Ten, nine to shake him out of the tree, md one to kick tho dickens out of him. . :.rfT TEENAGERS 1 STOP COMPLAINING 3. I believe that teenagers have reached an era of rebellion, disagreement, and an extremely critical 3tage, It's almost impossible to please them and they5 re forever complaining, even about the most trivial matters, How .often have you heard a teenager nay That old bag shoulda never teen hatched or My parents arc prudes; th.9y just don't understand me or Why do we teenagers get all the blame? A frequent complaint of today :s younger generation is that adults bring out only the worst in teenagersjthey accuse us cf being juvenile delinquents, or judge us all by the few rotten apples Teenagers claim that in revspape-s, for instance , all emphasis ij rinc od on our mistakes while little attention i3 focused uoon our merits. This is. indeed, a misconception After carefully examining an issue of the 3u--_ llngt.cn Ere? Tress I found four articles telling about' such things as juvenile delinquency, careless termage driving, and sc on. On tne ctnor hand I discovered eleven stories which told of teenage a-chievementa ana honors So, stop complaining ' teon-ag-jv-? people realize that we're not all tad eggs, Anochcr ancient whim of teens is My old man and lady are thick; they don't even try to understand me. Here, too, I think we're being too critical of our parents. Despite the fact that our parents grew up in a different generation, they were young once. They know what it's like to have problems-to need money,to want the car on Saturday night. The solution hero is mutual understanding; rravbe parents sav My I:id3 con t understand me, ' With a few compromises from both s5.de3 you might be surprised to realize that parents aren't so bad after all. Teachers aresnothor prob- lem of the younger set., fe don1 1t like to be pushed a: O’.v.'d and aiciplined; so xes I am© tha teacher3 for or.vp . ’ks and one uiacrier'J iriess or trio schooi. Teenagers have reached the stage where they try to resist authority. They disagree merely as a form of rebellion, Cn the whole ' rape'- ; for teachers ha? gone out of style. This i3 sor.ietni.ng which rust be remedi-.d z.f we wish tc succeed in life. Respect is an item which we'll always need-at Union 7 and in our vocations, le.t„r. Seme youths have taken on destruction md i.v‘ ge-riiav:toning means cf rebellion as the solution of (or cvoican.f oO their difficulties. Drugs, v a ryir.r frorn sni ffinr r. i re 1 .. ne glue to LSD trips, are r:ecrt-edly being used in great quantities by teens. The formation of the hippies is another less ..armful way of rebellion, A.though Franklin is not direct!.- concerned with imp '':p; drugs cr x'lower onlidrou. ruen problems do x v ©.iat' in saoh t ..l . -ces as New York. In my opinion, we teenagers should stop erki a lousy outlook on 1:f. our criticism construct!r., learn to respect ot! ' - ar face our problems inst. c. c_ resorting to some foolish kind WINTER of rebellion This world isn't actually such a miserable place in which to live. So, com'on teenagers-stop complaining. Brepda Gates '70 Winter i3 the time of year. When all things Slow sown, 3. bit. Tho reason why. Of course you know; It 's cold ’and ’snowy unii bLowy and kind of misorablo too. But all people keop in mind The ono thing that Koops hopes bright, And that's, that spring Is almost in sight. Andrew Quintin '72 Dougie: Did youkiow thatlkiggy Roger: Why is a Ctntcr of a tree had her chost tatoood. like a dog's tail? Norma: No Dougie: It says, Front. Penny: Why? Roger: It is fartherest the bark. from £ . VALUES Above all, I valuer my.'llfa but this takes in several ether ranges of thought. One of these areas is education. My education is very important, not only to me but also to ny pa rents and in a few more years to my cchildrsn. Learning at school is just one part of ray education though. I am glad that we havo sports in our school, because through these sports we learn ‘bportsmanship Whether we win or lose at a basketball game doesn't make much differencej its thb wayvo win or lose that counts. Wear a'bmile through defeat or victory. ily religion is another of my values. I feel that the Freedom of Worship 3s justified and I am sure that everyone else feels exactly the same way. School aid church are two very essential parts of everybody's life and I'm glad that I can be apart of today's young generation. I love11 life and all its tiny individual ascomp-anements. Penny Glidden '69 SMOKING: IN, OR OUT? Cigarette saoking shortens life; is it l'forth it? Today smoking is thought of as being the in thing to do, but recent surveys show that smokingrray be very hazardous to our health. Reports conclude that rr probably causes coronary heart uisease, lung cancer, empnysema, cancer of t,he ir.-.uth, and enlargement of the aorta. Everyone kno s or 3houid know by new t hd t smoking is risky, ouV- feha bi-r question is: why do they do it. • is children g ow ddor they tend to imitate their parents; thereforo parents who smoke do not set a very good example. Many teenagers feel they have to smoke in order to be accepted. Today in the in crowd yor're not considered 'hip if you don't smoke, and many kids would rather smotce than be called chicken, scuare or other such names. Is tnis important? If not so we are out, way out. healthier and with one less habit. Stephanie FBrty '71 Bonnie Richard '71 YOUTH SPEAKS OUT On Oct. 16th four F.H.S. students; Iousie Ebuchard, Cbdrid Columb, Lyle Glddden and Penny Glidden represented the school on WWSR radio station in St. Albans r the panel of 'Youth Speaks Out . � Our topic was, Is the Draft Fair? The half hbur program was moderated by Mon. Walter F. Charland. We were given a chance to freely voice our opinions, and then we were asked questions on our statements. All of our views were in no way changed or rehearsoi. Wq enjoyed our afternoon nnc found it to be very educaIjionr. 1.

T e hunters claim that the reason 'so few deer are being taken legally is that they are all being jacked at nigfct. This seems like a logical reason. There are only a very few people doing this, but almost everyone knows who does it and is just vaiting for the chance to catch them in the act -df jacking deer so they can be turned in. These people who are jacking derr should remember they are running, a great risk of getting caught. There is very heavy punishment if they are caught. Also, if bucks, does, and fawns continue to ho shot illegally the Fish -and Ssao department may have to close the deer season in this area and wait for the deer -supply to replenish. It seems rs though these deer jackers would think t ice bpfere they jack deer, because this may result ir. doing much harm.

Hello, I'm a sal. g S3ntrtiv - for Di-.no's Beauty 1 a.,a, s yOU well know, Diane a uiutcicnts and make-ups are ranking fourth this ■year in Beauty cosmetics.

This year, in time for Christmas,we have products that would be exceptionally fit forgifts and very kind to your pocketbook., Remember the girl or boy next door or down the street.

This product was one of Diane's first which has been sold nationally at most hardware stores -nd new appearing in drugstores. Diane's orange eye .shadow lipstick,and fingernail polish have done extremely well,also, he'll really be seeing them next spring, won't we girls.

V «u . . ■ • ■ FEAR-AROUND HUNTERS The first rays of tie morning sue wop 6 'just peeking through the -window wh D n was fretting dressed. While pulling on his boots he remembered how his father had said last night that it might snow tommorrow. All through' chores he kept thinking of how he had hoped it would not snow. Last spring a friend had him a puppy. The rrutt Brindle, as Don called tr’m, vrs a mongrel coon hound. This fill Dhn, with his uncle md cousin,(Each one had his own dog), had finally taught the mutt to hunt coon's ,Jow coon hunting was all over, You just can't hunt coon's in the snow , has father had said and Don knew he was right. Oh sure you could still hant rabbits but'you just don't hunt rabbits with a coon dog. Vten be reached Ibe barn his father said, Don, I want you to check the upper barn. Nothing could have made Don happier. Going to ’his father’s horse barn he saddled a fine young colt and set out for the uppor bam about five miles away. The snow was two ftet deep in some pLaccs; so it was about three hours before Don, going along a narrow winding path, reached the upper bam which his father had fixed up for keeping young cattle. s soon as he walked in the door Don knew that something was wrong. Two -calves had been killeib Lfter feeding and cleaning the animals Don looked around for tracks, t tell what it was that killed the calves. 'tones side of the barn was a door that was used for putting hay in the tarn Don found that this had been forced open and the filler gone in and oat through .it., ifter examining the tracks he was sure that they were bobcat tracks. When he came home tis fbfrjer told him that a bejbeat hid killed some of a neighbor’s cattle ai d that their was a reward Jfr shooting it. vfter Don had told his father abcut the calves he added, I think I'll try to 4i«r tv that cat (bobcat) nyself I oruldi use the reward money . You can try if you want; to, son , said his dad. The next day Don was just renr y to start df bobcat hunting a car drove into the drivev0”. A few minutes latter Don vito his uncle and cousin were off to the place where the booc°t was last seen. Funny thing , said Don, When I saw this snow T thought that we would not be hunting again until next fall What made you think that? said his uncle, you know we, wouldn't let you have all the fun. t . ' i. n •r v .a r n f'1 Tho day was Wednesday, December 13, end a bright, warm d ;r at that. Laurio McGrogoi , -tty young senior cf sovon-to. n, carro directly home from school, somewhat'cut aE the ordinary because dio usually stopped off at the Malt Shop As Laurio came running up tho walk sne waved to Mrs.. Greenly who lived noxt door, but she kept right on toward the house without a word. Opening tho front door, laurie shouted in a goy, lively voico, Mem, Mom, are you here? With a slightly annoyed tone Mrs. McGregor answered, Yes, door, I'm out in tho kitchen. Laurie kicked eff her boots and dropped her book3 down on a nearby chair . 'Anything vroog' she '■.skrd he -t' ;;vr r.r.h (oncorn in hor voico. fro,.just that tho whola day hes been wrong, sho aid with a laugh. And how has the world treated you today? By tho way, vcu're homo a bit early, aren't you? Just fine, to tho first question end I suppose a little earlier than i3ucl to the second. I have southing important to toll you, I'vo found a......... Surprised, her mother turned and interrupted, round what Laurie What have you found? Laurie sat down and her mother followed thao gosturo. 'Do you remember when I was thirteen or so 1 was always .’a.-dr aming r 'A. y'm'd r?’F ' what wuo wi- .� it-v y — ci...w. ■ wc o always tho o 1 .. ing for £. e ;thei,1 tually I was loo.cii.g fur omo-thing. I was looking for a way to help tho crippled girl down the street. Yea know her and hor mother. Trudy Thomas; cHb1s my age. Mrs. McGregor smiled and asked Laurio how sho intended to help Trudy. Laurie had already ’ boon working wish Trudy for about a month. And just today she read an article in tho recent issue of Gong Housekeeping on working with e crippled person. I'm going to bave irudy valki.a, by the n=w Year, she remarked. She is doing a great job r - , and with a little rare help o' practice she'll te able to w:'_a without the brace on her left 3 g. A strange Icox came over Mrs. t e ' . face, but ;.ai a look of disple -: it was a look of warmth and love. Laurio, I'm proud cf you and I hope you can help Trudy. The following nights af.ter school Laurie worked wm th Trudy for thirty to' forty-five ninutea. On Saturday tnoy practiced rd exercised for one hour ar.d a half in tho morning and again in tho afternoon. Not enough to tire Trudy though. The next week school was out for tho holidays and ever' ' spore minute the girls cc la work, they did. Tho Sunday before Christmas, which was Cocombo’’ Laurie saw True o, Trudy had her braeo on a::'- 15. crutchon with her. Laurie, was beginning to think it had been wasted time aid effort for 4'bom both, but she was still determined. After church Trudy wont up to Laurie and told her that she didn't have to come over that afternoon to work with her. Christmas is tomorrow and you have probably have to get the last minute things ready, Trudy insisted. On Christmas morning abound nine, the telephone rang at the McGregors . Laurie enswered it. Yes Trudy, I'll be right over. I'm giing tolbudy's Mom, Iaurje shouted cn her way out. Just as Laurie turned from her walk and started toward Trudy's, she saw Trudy walking toward her, without her brace or crutches. Laurie was so surprised that she just stood still, looking at Trudy. Trudy walked with a slight limp, but the doctor said that with o-nough practice it would leave. He also told me that he never expected mo to walk again and ohat there must have beon a miracle performed, Trudy said, crying. At this time . Laurio started crying too. A miracle Laurie. Laurie, you're my miracle Penny Gliddon '69 PAUL BUNYAN Paul Bunyan is th. mytl ia 1 hero of the lumber jacks. Tno legend of Paul Bunyan bo-gan in the exaggerated boasts -swopped in the lumber camps from tbc Great Lakes regioi. c tho West Coast. Some say these '.unbelievable stories go back to the second half of tha 1800's. Others say that they were not well known until the early 1900s when they were printed in newspapers . As heroes of old had thdr magic steeds and loyal companions the gigantic Paul Bunyan had bis huge blue ox. Babe, born in the Winter of the Blue Snow, measured lp2 ax handles and .a plug of Star Chewing Tobacco between the eyes. Every time Babe nooded a new pair of shoos. Big ole, the blacksmith, would have to open a now iron mine in Minnesota. Paul Bunyan . had a timekeeper named Johnny Inkslingcr. His name came from tho ichor's word for camp clerk. He invented figures and bookkeeping to replace Bunyan's crude methods of keeping accounts ty chopping notches in trees. Johnny Inkslinger also made the first fountain pen by connecting his pen to a barrel of ink with a rubber hose. he saved gallons of ink by not crossing his t's or dotting his I's . Bunyan paid him $30 a month for hi3 work. ‘ The Legend 'of Paul Bunyan is one of the best known stories in the country. John Tatro '71 I . . . ' all in the line of business I opened my eyes to the steady drizzle of rain on a dark Monday morning. Yawning sleepily, I pushed back the blankets and glanced at my a-larm clock. I leapt out bf bod as I roalizod it was 7:30 A.M. I was supposed to be at work at 7:l .5l Relief then dawned on me. No wonder it was late. I hadn't set ny a-larm clock bocauso it was an office holiday. No work this morningI I debated on whether I should go back to bod or get up and start tho day. The lattor won out. Aftor all, I told myself, it is timo to bo up and I probably couldn't got back to sloop anyway. Fiftoon minutes later I was humming happily in ny compact apartment kitchonett, fixing broak-fast for myself and my cat, Sonya. I was unusually happy this morning and suddenly I know Why. Of course, I thought to myself, I've boon planning this shopping spree for weeks I I'd had two hundred dollars saved up for just this. I make two hundred fifty dollars a week and this easily takes care of a young single working girl. I stopped stirring my cof-feo for a moment as I romon-borod tho anxiety I wont through aftor college graduation. To think I w rriod that my salary wouldn't he sufficient, I mus-od. Quit • tho contrary I I do: aod tho rest of my coffee leisuroly and prepared for my trip dov;ntown. Later, driving through tho busy streets of Colchostor-villo, I mentally listed the various piecos of clothing I had always wanted to own; an oxponsivo tailorod suit, probably navy blue, a new coat, and two formal dr.sres for those dates with Gil,'- fiance. Wo were going tr tj married in throe months. Tho blowing horn of an inpatient motorized drew nob.ck to tho prosont. I looked anxiously for an empty parking placo and turned in at tho beckoning sign of phia ' s Stylo Shop. Aftor parking my Volks-wagon I stopped out to view the gorgeous croatiors cf dLothos displayed in the store windows. Aft 3r pausing briefly to chock tho price of a smart plaid suit, I walked on down tno stroot tovrard Jbphia's Stylo Shop. I'd visited hero before but novor anticipated buyirg any of tho exquisitely stylos but immensely expensive clothes. I was quickly approached bv •_ beautiful red-headed clerk her hair toased high and mc.k .. applyod artistically. H rbe-- y only sorvod to bring ou '.o plainoss in no; dark bl!,:ii.e hair arranged in a plain s4 lo, gray eyes, (plain too) a..d a fair figure. I was a erage looking, I thought, but next to her I felt like my thirteen year old sister in her play-suit. In response to her softly spoken question I looked around hurriedly and said, I don't think you have anything I had in mind. Thanks anyway, I mumbled and walked out numbly. Maybe it p .ys to shop at normal stores like Boyor's and Bennett's after all, I thought. Any way, it was a silly thing to d o-walking cut cf tho re like that. I was amused with . . my actions now and wondered what the clerk had thought of me. It's funny, but people like that always affected me the same way-giving me such a feeling of infuriority that I wantoci to bo invisible or crawl in a hclo and die. This is really a hindrance in my work I Out of the corner of my eyo, I caught the movement of a figure in a side alley. The figure steppod cut to the street and I recognized the faco and figuro cf a largo man. Instantly the expression on the man's face seemed familiar, but I told myself sternly, That's ridiculous; you don't know anyone in the whole city of Chosterville. Still, that nagging fooling of seeing that face beforo kept with me. I pushed that thought asido and once again began to concentrate on my next stop at a store. Noticing the entrance to Soars on a sido sfcreot, I ducked in and began looking over the lingerie displayed in that department. Several minutes lator I picked up r.y pocketbook to leave and with a start realized that that man was notroro than two yards from mo, studying in-tontily a beautiful turquoise bath robe. Probably picking up something for his wife, I reasoned. Then why was I so worriod ? I continued to walk out the door and down the stroot, looking around slyly to soo if ho was still following mo. Ho wasn't and I breathed a sigh of roliof. Then I stoppod in my tfreo ks, Anno Welles, I scolded mysolf, In your lino of work you can't be afraid cf my thing. Still, I was a woman, and 9 woman has a right to bo fright-tonod sometimes, doosn't she? Oh well, I thought, he was probably just someone I'vj soon on a bus or something. But no I Now I remomboredvhoro I'd seen him and why he was familiar. His faco was picturoa in our records of the most wanted man in the state. It all come back to me now. Hi3 number was 7l;0 ... something and he w s wanted for manslaughter and several burglaries. He was a hardened criminal and was to bo considered very dangerous. There woro running foot-stops bohind mo now, and serno-how I knew it was good ole number 7 4-0..... Of course I know judo but what could stop a craziod murdoror from attacking an average woman. I stopped and turnod around quickly to stare into the wild ey -s of a mad man. He muttered somothing below his breath and I just know he would attack mo, oven with a few city people soate.' aa their front porchos engaged in conversation. Ho scroamod m oorie scream like semothing I'd never hoard boforo, and lunged toward mo. A quick uppercut would take caro of him for a while but for exactly hcv long I didn't know. I shouted to tno horrified on lookers to coll the police and. Oh yes, the P.B.I., the agency for whi.k I worked. I could see that ho was coming to, so a sound sock in the solar plexus would hold him, I was surj, 8. It seemed an eternity fore the wail of jpolico siren could bo heard and even longer before the concerned chief of police gontly shoved me away from the moaning heap of a man and hand cuffod him roughly. Then there was Gil-Gil, my co-worker in tho F.B.I. of-fico-Gil, the man I loved-with his arms around mo holding me evon when I sobbed lysterically. I soon calmed down, though, and could oven sonse the amusement in Gil 3 oye when tho policemon patted mo on the back and spoko gruffly to the oonvidt. All of a sudden two loud gun shots sounded and one of tho policemon sunk to tho ground, hit by tho wild bullot of tho prisoner. But Gil was ontho ground, too, blood staining tho front of his shirt. Why did Gil have to bo in tho lino of fire? Why Why? Diane Pierco '70 I'1! J V v.V h rOYS STATE On June 16th I attended Boys State as reuresentitive from Franklin, the 1967 session of Green Mcutain Boys State. The reason for Boys State is to get a better idea of state and local government by participating in mock-up town meetings, party rallies, elections and legislature. Also to take uo the afternoons we had a variety of sports: baseball, volleyball, basketball, tennis and swimming kept us busy. The 200 and some odd boys were divided up into eight towns and four counties. The towns were named after the past eight governor and the counties were named after the present two senators and one representative in Congress. Tbe final county was named after Governor Hoff. I was in the town of Wills and county of Stafford. Sunday was spent mostly getting squared around. We were informed of schedules for sports and meetings. We were also told of our parties—Fedar. libA Nationalisjt, and Independent. We had programs every night wnich usually lasted until 11:00. V e were given petitions for people to sign so that the person running ior a local or state office could get on the Primary Election Ballot. Tuesday we had the primary elections, which were like our town elections in that you must declare yourself to get your party ballot. Write-ins were acceptde, but they had te be of one's own party. Excitement rose until late in the afternoon when the election results were posted. Tuesday night proved to be a real battle of politicians; often the losers of the primary elections ran for write-ins or broke off the main party t� form a new group or party to run as write-ins. This was just the case in Wednesday's General Flections; a new party which called themselves the Constitutionalists won a great share of the major state offices including Governor, Lt. Governor, and States Attorney. Then came the big night! The girls came over from Girls State to attend the Inaugural Fall. Nobody got much sloop that night. For important people visiting Boys State we had Gov. Hoff on Inaugur tod bight .when he inagurated the new Eoys State Govenor •� and addressed the whole tody. Also James Oaks, Attorney General Addressed us. We all agreed that we enjoyed ourselves greatly and memories made here would not soon be forgotten. Cedric Columb •' o.

Thoro wo purchasod woolon MY D Y AT EXPO -SI Collen Pierce ' c. My first impressions of Expo were that those of color, no ving shapes , sound, and people. When I went with rry cousins, we saw the International Horse Spectacular, Ihe CanadianIbunt-ed Police, Miss Canada, one of the largest horses in the world, and Wayne Newton with some dancers were there. liss Canada held her horse captive to her will with just her body movements. The Canadian Mounted Police vent through different formations on horseback. Wayne Newton sang. The dancers were dressed in stiff forma-1 'clothes, and did sovoralf waltz - like dances. One of the largest horses in the world hau several ponies trot inderhLih so I quess he must have bean pretty tall. The pavilions were very nice. I saw Japan, France, the U.S., and some others. At the U.S., we had to wait for over two hours, but we finally got in. We saw many pictures of movie stars, model cars, and demonstrations of the surface of the moon. The French pavilion was very big. There was a thing , because thats the only thing you could call it. With bells, wierd music, and eerie sounds. Japan had pictures of her people and their food. The way they lived was also shown At last we had supper-pizza and pop,- if you call a meal. The long day was done. I was very tired but I wouldn't have missed if for the world Would you? SWEAT COMINGS FACTORY AND LARSEN INDUSTRIES On our forestry trip ve saw different types of furniture and how it i's made. We saw how bureaus and beds are made. Each man has his own job. One men nay have one machine to tend all days Maybe his job is sanding legs that go on a bed. Another man may mako the drawers that go in a bureau, and that's his job no matter how boring it gets. In one place there were two mon who stained the end pieces of beds, tips of tables and sides of bureaus. First they sprayed an ink-like substance on the furniture, then quickly wiped it off. That which remained was the stain. In another place two men were spraying some aert cf paint on tho flirnituro, tut before the painting, staining or any of thoso stops thw wood was baked in largo trick rooms. When tho lumbor is shippod in it has accumulated much moisture, it is baked, and moisture leaves tho wood. We also wont to a factory whore hockey sticks are made. At first they didn't want to lot us in, tut finally they did. We couldn't see much, but wo could soo whore the unvarnished sticks stoppod and tho arnishod ones bogaan. All in all wo had much aid an educational time. Marc Mullen 73 MY TRTV '0 rx o One day I was invited to go to Expo with Anna Neville, Diane, Margaret, and Colleen Pierce. We left at approximately l.(.:00 P.M. When we arrived, about 5:00, we went straight to La Rondo, whero we stayed until it was 8:00. t that time we wont to lie 'Saintc Hdhne Iil-lnd to see the International Horse Spectacular. There we saw the most beautiful horses in the world. There were exciting moments which we all enjoyed 3uchas seeing: one of the woids larpesthcrses, Miss Canada,tha Canadian Mounted Police, and Wayne Newton, The large horse, which was oversix feet tall, was so tall that when a womaa stood up to him, she looked like a six year old child. MissCanada hada beautiful horse. She rode without the use ofrein3 or bridle of any kind. The horse obeyed her commands by the movements in her body. The Canadian Mounted Police were really Spectacular. They mademany different formations. They alsoshbt olfa'fdw -cannons. Last, but not least, is what I enjoyed the most. It was Wayne Newton. His brother, Jerry Newton, was also there. Ee made a few wise cracks every now and then. Such as when Wayne was playing the banjo, he said, If you don't quit picking that thing it's never gonna heel. Also when Wayne said that he was going to try something new, his brother said It's not new, folks, we go through it every night. Wayne sang many songs, such as Red Roses for a- Blue Lady, Darka Shane, Release Me and many more. After the Horse Show we walked to our car ai d started our long journey home.
