Our Get-2-Acqualinted Party by Jim Kalbfleisch IXA The social highlight, the best party of the year, was held in the gymnasium on Friday, September 24th, As the five score and ten freshmen entered the gym, each was given a coloured card repre- senting some fruit. Later, bunches of bananas, grapes, plums, etc. could be seen hanging around various parts of the gym. Promptly at 7252, Mr., Yates, the master of ceremonies, quieted the excited nlners and started us off on the first event of the evening. For the first threeequarters of an hour, we played group games such as a balloon breaking contest, life:-saver passing Qwatch those brittle toothpicks girlsll, a match:-box passing contest, and a pop drinking contest., Mr. Cline and his camera were busy taking amusing pictures all the while., The most tedious event of the evening was a. game in which one had to circle the neck of a mmllk bottle with a jar ring dangle ling on a string, from a yardstick, Grace Bryan looped the bottle once to win., A balloon battle followed in which each person tried to burst his neighbourls balloon while protecting his own. Exactly one hundred and eight broken balloons later, Bob McBride and Patsy Watts proudly marched to the platform to receive soft drinks for their ef- forts. Then Miss Kidd, accompanied by Mr, Cline introduced us to the Grand Old Duke of York., ln a short while, a folk dance began. Every few seconds We changed partners, and at the end of the dance, we took our partner to lunch., The delicious lunch of pop and hot-2-dogs a la Miss McPhedran was made even more delicious by the young ladies with whom We ate., After lunch, Mr., Young, accompanied by Betty Thompson taught us the steps of a schotttsche., At ten-ethirty the party ended with the singing of God Save the Queen., What transpired on the journey home ls still a mystery., Many thanks to the members of the staff for a WONDERFUL Grade 9 party., ll UV VJ

T he Agriculture Trip to the O.A,C. by Shirley Ann McFee X-:B Two bus-loads of eager grade-ten pupils of the Agricule- ture and the music classes left the high school in the morning of Wed- nesday, March 9, 1954 for the College Royal Show. This was put on by the Aggies of the Ontario Agriculture College, Guelph, Ontario. When we arriveda, Mr. Young guided us through the lives- tock barn where we saw experimental cows and a dwarf calf. Next we were placed under the supervision of the College Aggies who acted as our guides for the general tour. The tour included more livestock barns, farm implement buildings, MacDonald Institute, Veterinary College and the Green Houses. The girls became very interested ar MacDonald Institute in the sewing and cooking. We all agreed that the Veterinary College was the best building visited all day. Here, we saw the operation on a lamb and many men disecting the parts of cows, sheep, and dogs. In the Fie ld Husbandry Building we observed the well-planned insect collections and the magnificent flowers of the greenhouse brought sunshine to the gloomy day, especially the tropical garden where orchids were a beautiful picture. After our general tour we were served a delicious hot dinner by the Agricultural College free of charge. During the afternoon many toured the gymnasium where the bright, educationallexhibits were on display and gave ideas for our own Open Night at O.D.,H,S. While the girls enjoyed the Fashion Show immensely, the boys saw cattl.e being judged, the dog show, and the building where the special modern shop and technical mach- inery was on display. The time to leave came too soon and at 3.00 p.m. we gathered at the buses for home. A well enjoyed day as well as an educational day had been spent by both classes. We wish to extend a note of thanks to Mr., Young for making this splendid day possible, and to Mr. Yates for his assistance and support., ll H H
