49 s ' by Shirley Brawley It was a dark, rainy morning in early November when the Commercial students started on their annual trip but the rain certain- ly didn't dampen any one's spirit as they climbed into the cars provided for the trip, It was 10,00 arm, when the students reached the EOSORAO Robinson Company in Leaslde, The first thing noticed.about the factory was the fact that it was one of the most modern plants ever seen before, The pupils were split up into three groups, Each group had a guide and so the tour of this interesting factory began, Although the factory is most famous for making paper bags and boxes it also makes a great many other itemsfwhich are used in everyday life, such as, wrappings for bread, candy, cookies, break- fast cereals and tobacco, They also make the gaily coloured labels you see on tin cans, The students were surprised to learn that the plant also makes special calendars and Christmas cards for many different firms throughout Canada, They were very busy making the cards and calendars for the new year and the pupils were lucky to have had the chance to see them made at this busy time, The factory has it's own art department and many of the pictures on these calendars and designs on the wrappings are the work of their own artists, The next stop was of particular interest to the Commercial students because they were shown the various offices of the plant and were told how they were run, ' This large factory takes 25 hours to sees It covers about nine acres and employs 900 people, The guides informed the pupils that the plant had the greatest number of printing presses in North America, One press alone cost Sl20,000, Before the students left this interesting, modern plant they were given a small shopping bag full of samples of what they had seen being made, By that time they were feeling hungry and were very glad when they had lunch in the cafeteria, They were especially happy to learn that the large lunch was frees The tourists left the factory and continued on to Toronto, The afternoon was spent pleasantly by shopping, going to the show or to the Royal Winter Fair, Everyone arrived ho e that night tired but also quite happyo They felt very thankful to Mr, Cline and to Mr, Maynard who had made the wonderful trip possible, H H H

50 - On The Hill - by Betty Ann Garvey XI There's a friendly place of learning, On a hill in Orangeville town, And you should stop in to see it If your going up or down. If you'd follow me around some day I'd take you in the doorg You would not have many'stairs to climb - It's only on one floor. ' In that nice room way down the hall, Miss Ewing tells us how The Roman people used to live So differently than now. ' The next is Mr. Yates room, And isn't it a joy, To learn about the Ancient timssg Near England, France and Troy. In mathematics class we learn Of polygons and squares, And we hear the UMorning Smileu' When we first sit in our chairs, Let's visit Mr. Seltzers room And listen to the tales We're taking up in English lit - Of windy seas and gales. In Mr. Percy's sunlit room A lovely view is thereg So an odd look out the window Is really only fairg Well now we're at the door again So let's go out and playg I'll take you back to see the rest Some other sunny dayz A Russian dog in Berlin came over into the allied section. On see- ing it a group of American dogs clustered around and this is the conversation which followed. lst American dog: Wwhy did you come over here, did they not feed you over there?N ' Russian Dog: ales, they gave me all I could eat, 3 times a dayn 2nd American dog: nDid they not comb you or wash you?W ' Russian Dog: NYes, I was combed and given a bath every day, without failn. 3rd American dog: WDid they not give you a good bed?W Russian dog: 0Yes I had a bed en deep of straw.W nth American dog: Uwhat did you come over here for then?W Russian Dog: WI wanted to barkno
