TO OTTAWA I It was hard to describe our feelings that Thursday morns ing of May the tenth, l962.., Our at.t:i.tude was one of light hearted gaietyem Ottawa here we come! The weather was warm and pleasant and what was better still, Mr. Cline had been bribed out of morning clas ses wlftih the result that take off time was now 9330 instead of the customary noon. At Peterborough, our first actual stop outside of refreshs ment. hold-ups, we viewed the Trent canal liftlockst getting a very aceurs ate picture of the locks due to the fact that they lacked water, Our first lunch stop was just outside of Peterborough where we were treated to free drinks. By 5:00 PQMC, we were in Ottawa, getting acquainted with our accommodations for the night at Webbls Motels This was when we found out that six suitcases were missing. However, wonders do happen and by eleven'-thirty that same eyenmg our luggage arrayed by arr at Ottawa airport., As a result six girls were very grateful to Mrc, lvlclvlurtrle Mr. Cline and the two bus drivers for their troubles. The first evening, as had been predicted, was spent in gaiety. Many of us found our way downtown by ourselveso Others were more lucky and were escorted rflght. to various movie houses, by friendly Ottawans who apparently understood th.at we. were from out of town . Officially bedtime was limited to 1,300 Ao Mo and officially everyone obeyed these rules just so Mro Cline would still get his five hours sleepc Next morning bright and early, we left by bus to tour our National Capital. The guided tour through the Parliament Buildmgs was exceptionally interesting. The sculpturing and carvings in marble were very fascinating. The House of Commons and the Senate Charnber not form getting the library, were also extremely lmpresslye. Although we did not have the satisfactzion of seeing Mrt Diefenbaker or Mro Rowe, we dtd get our chance to see the Mountieso At noon we had dinner in the cafeteria ofthe Chateau Laurier and by one olclock we resugrned our tour of Ottawa passing the stately eme- bassies and the man sion of Mrt Diefenbaker. However, we only partly toured the residentlal grounds of Governor General Vanier since we were shown the back gate by a mountle due to the fact that we had no special perm mit from the Governor General hgtmselfu Czonttd.,
