“Vevteity tyue t “Weekend Just before noon on February 22 a shiny new Bluebird bus steamed up to the door. We were aboard in a minute. At last Varsity Guest Weekend had begun. An hour later we were heading east on Highway No. 2. With us were our two chaperones and twenty-eight card-playing, chess-playing, chattering, sleeping, singing, eating teens from the other county schools. When our bus purred into Edmonton at £:15 pm, the boys in¬ vaded the Royal George Hotel, and we girls took over the King Eddie. Our first evening was spent on strictly fun— bowling, movies, exploring, or making friends. There were rumors (was it only gossip? ) that the boys played poker until 5 am. Friday’s highlights included touring the campus, wandering through the very impressive Jubilee Auditorium, and watch¬ ing a yawn-inspiring session of Legislature at the Alberta Parliament Buildings. During lunch at the Ed. Building, we were thoroughly stared at by mobs of co-eds (all pretty and sophisticated) and undergrad men. Su ddenly we began to feel round-eyed and extremely green. The round-eyed feel¬ ing grew during the rest of the day too, especially while we watched and listened to the evening production of Re¬ capture the Rapture, This yeafs Varsity Varieties Program. Our event-packed Saturday began with a high-society coffee party where we met U of A ' s Dean of Women and other VIP’s. The afternoon was spent in trudging through dorms, display rooms, and the various faculties. A synchronized swimming contest in the phys. ed. building swimming pool was one of the more interesting displays. A professional guide (none other than Sexsmith’s own Pat Ranch) herded us through the Nursefe Residence, and then back to the waxed-and-polished new Student’s Union Building to see Mr. Diefenbaker. Since Saturday evening was free of organized activities we made good use of it, in spite of our aching feet. 10:00 o ' clock Sunday morning came too soon, for it began the end of our weekend. The once-gleaming bus was knee deep in Real Love comics and orange peeling by the mid¬ dle of the afternoon, and by the time we reached Grande Prairie everyone was feeling noticably less frisky. It did take a while to recover, but we wouldn ' t have miss¬ ed Varsity Guest Weekend for anything. It couldn ' t have been any better.

' 7KeMto ' Ue ! Eleven years ago we were beginners, some shy, some noisy, but all expectant. We were a lucky class, the last to begin in the traditional one-room schoolhouse with its water pail and dim cloak rooms. During the past eleven years we have become a real class with real class loyalties and real memories. There are many things we will remember: Christmas parties and Hallowe’en parades, cold mornings when we sat on the re¬ gisters to get warm, noon hours spent on the ballfields in spring, teachers we ' ve especially liked, lines written and recesses spent in our desks for chewing gum, laughs we’ve had. It will seem strange not to be coming back after next Junw. The past eleven years have been good ones. Still, we are more than eager to see what the next eleven years will be like. We don’t know what we will be or where we will be in eleven years, but we do know that it will be shaped by our years here. You have become very much a part of us, LA GLACE SCHOOL. Ellie Epp ' pcviewed A farewell party organized by the Grade Ten Class was held for the Grade Eleven Class on May 25, in the La Glace Gym. Approximately sixty students participated in the annual event. The theme Wonderland by Night was played in the background. The decorations consisted of streamers which were silver and various shades of blue. The words of the theme, a moon and eleven stars, were made of tin foil; the graduates’ names were written on these stars. The room was filled with blue light to create an effect of night. Blue balloons filled with confetti completed the decora¬ tions . Various types of games were played by the students. After the games, refreshments were served. To the members of the Grade Eleven Class, our best wishes for all of the fine things thati 13 fe can give. Grade Ten Girls Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends towards the formation of character.” Hosea Ballou
