60 Calthough I am obliged to admit that some of the showers didn't work in the Y.Wal The remainder of the evening was spent Won the townn at various places of entertainment. Everyone was in his or her particular sleep- ing compartment at eleven-thirty - the required hour, but there are Wrumoursn that Miss McPhedran and Mr. Cline had a certain amount of trouble getting their children ntucked inn. It is reported that the boys enjoyed a lively pillow fight before they settled down to deep slu ber, and the girls ...... well, shall we just say they were all calmed down by four-thirty, and I might add, it isn't so-o difficult to sleep seven in four beds! The next morning, though rather rainy, failed to throw a wet blanket over our enthusiasm, and the day's schedule consisted of shopp- ing and just Wtaking it easyn. As an example of the girls' entertain- ment that day, when they returned to the NYU with their innumerable wares, they were welcomed by a nu ber of congenial Airforce boys, who provided some interest for a short time before the departure hour, six-thirty. In fact, certain members of the party were honoured by the c mpany of one of the uniformed gentlemen to the bus door, - for one, Miss McPhedran, who caused some jealousy among her more unfortunate rivals. She and Mr. Cline fthe latter travelling with Alan Harrisonl, who were going to stay in the city with their groups until Sunday night, bade us good-bye then, and the long journey homewards was begun, which was, I might mention, somewhat quieter than the journey going. However, excitement appeared in the shape Knot bad either! of a Customs Officer. With innocent faces, and stuffed pockets, we filed past the inspectors, each swearing he had Unothing to declaren. Greatly relieved, the Nsmuggling fiendsn clambered back into the bus and continued onward, stopping once for nthe pause that re- freshesu, just outside Hamilton. Towards one o'clock, the lights of Orangeville appeared thro- ugh the mist, and the weary passengers began to collect their baggage. Before long, we were all hustling through the rain to our place of abode, and soon sound asleep. All told, the trip was an im ense success, and will live on in our memories as an outstanding occasion. On behalf of the students of Grades Twelve and Thirteen, I wish to take the opportunity to thank all the teachers who made this trip possible.

59 - The Rochester Trip e Qmnig by vaiair Lennox X111 - The greatly anticipated trip to C 1'-A Rochester finally arrived on Friday, April ga 5153+ jgff? 2:33 3: the twentyefourth. The bus stopped at the '-iggfifhgjgggaigggly, aa school entrance at precisely seven o'clock ggi! fff: .'l'ff-'aiL and received a.multitude of cheerful Grade Korn-lesrrgfk.-' Twelve and Thirteen students, all decked ' A A 155334249 out in their Sunday best, and laden with a 1- i ' 5 Liga? vast assortment of colourful luggage Cin . r'F '-' the case of the girls, at leastl. Three, other cars, chauffeured by Miss McPhedran, Alan Harrison, and Alex Ling, picked up their loads then also. When everyone was comfortably situated in the luxurious coach for in his respective carl, we rolled happily out of the school drive- way, with a certain feeling of truimph in leaving the less fortunate students behind. As we bus passengers sailed through the various towns and villages, thoroughly enjoying the ride, an occasional outburst of vocal harnunry would interrupt the pensive silence. Sometimes the masculine voices in the rear pews held the general attention, but more often the Wsweet feminine strainsw drowned them out. In a seemingly very short time, the city of Hamilton was reached, and there our entire troup made its first stop. A very intern eating tour of the Stelco Plant took place - the girls riding a great deal, the boys covering the entire territory Cabout ten milesl by foot, we absorbed the numerous sights readily, and learned many worthwhile facts about the production of steel from our obliging guides. CI hope that the tour will prove beneficial to us in Chemistry classl. ,After about three hours of touring, the sighteseeing party continued on its way, and stopped at the Welland Canal, when we hungry travellers-partook of our lunches. Here we had the experience of watch- ing two boats pass through the locks, we were shortly ready to resume our journey, and our next visit was at Niagara Falls. The Falls was a very enjoyable sight for everyone, especially those who had never seen this marvellous spectacle. Several of the group took the opportu ity, while there, to don rainu coats and view the Falls from underneath, this being indeed a novel experience for many, A tour of the Queenston-Chippewa Plant was intended but these plans were cancelled, so we set out again - destination, Rochester, Q leaving behind Alex Ling and his party, who were ready to start home- wards then. we crossed the border at Lewiston, with very little delay at the Customs Offices, then pushed on to Rochester, which we reached about six o'c1ock. The eager boys and girls were unloaded at their respeete ive WY?sW, which were found to be extremely modern and luxurious, providing all the comforts and pleasures for which anyone could wish.

61 There's Always Tosmorrow by Mary Lanktree Gr, XII Yes! I, too, heard.that statement WAn essay will be handed in two weeks from toedayn. But did I pay any more attention to it than to let the thought linger in the back of my mind? Of course not. True, I remembered that the dead line was approaching, but there was always toe morrow coming. u As the last night has so quickly arrived, I suppose it is time that I should commence the ordeal. I am quite comfortable, reclining in an easy chair, the radio close by, and a dish of candy at my side, Since this thing has to be done toenight, I guess I'd better choose a topic and get 'crackingos Now, if I could think up a good excuse I wouldn't have to hand my essay in until later. I could tell Miss Kidd that I'd had a headache, but then she'd say I should have had it written before the last night anyway. That would be all the sympathy I'd get from her. Or maybe I could say that we had had company galore on the weekeend, but Miss Kidd always says we should have enough will power to make ourselves do our homework, so that wouldn't take any longer to write the comp than to think up a good excuse, Now, whoever could write an essay on neckties? I will admit that plenty could be said about some of them. The one that Ike Mitchell wears! Why it's practically a chapter by itselfl With that horrid snake on the front of it, I can almost imagine it taking a bite out of his throat Y It must be quite harmless as nothing has happened yet, And that bright red one I see flashing down the hall ever so often 2 I suppose his girl friend has him wear it so shenll know for sure it's he. 'Noses and Ears' Q why they are such small features that no one pays much attention to them! Noses cost girls plenty though, they have to keep that dull finish on them. But ears are either too big, or too small, or else they stick out too far, Most of them work all right, though, regardless of how they look. Here's a good topic, 'Persuading Father'. If that wasn't such a wide subject I could write on that, Poor father! He thinks he has ten dollars slipped away to buy a new saw, but when he looks, it's gone. Oh yes, he'd wondered where I had gotten the wherewithal to buy that new skirt. Incidentally, I run a sort of one way charge account with him. I borrow but never pay back, And his opinion on my new coat! I probably shouldn't tell about father's troubles, I'll see if there is something else I can write about, I wonder what about 'Apologies to the Teachersn, It probab- ly wouldn't hurt some of us to make a broad confession of some of the stunts we've tried to pull Q like the day all of grade eleven went marching into their home room, chewing gum for dear life. However, the effect was spoiled.
