Diary f f November 15, 1946 Berenice Spencer Blair Hanthorn Margaret Alexander 5.00 What is that happening? Oh yes! We go to Toronto today! There! A.M That noise is stopped. Now for forty extra winks. 6.00 Why is the landlady disturbed? Oh, I should have been dressed by 6.09 6.40 7.00 7.09 7.10 9.15 9.35 9.50 10.30 10.59 11.42 12.16 1.55 4.00 now. I must hurry. Is it always as dark outside as it is this morning? G. L. Woodruff, new Master at P.N.S. reaches C.P.R. Depot. Terrible shrieking and honking of horns on pedagogue hill. Taxis everywhere. Gosh! Theres' mine! Oh well, I don't want breakfast anyway. Others arrive at the station. Everyone is aboard the train. Wait! Who comes yonder on the bike? Wow, she just made it! We are off. Nice quiet trip. Joan Leslie, Barbara McLeod and Cora Grey can scarcely wait for the sun to rise-they haven't seen a sun- rise before. Mr. Smitheram is up to some nonsense. A purse lost- all the Masters worried. Mr. Woodruff eases tension with his directed observation assignment. Good for you Mr. McKinney, you brought song sheets. If Mr. W. would only silence his group one might know what song Mr. McK. is singing. Even Mr. Copp's efforts with the mouth organ are abortive. A balloon game-give us five minutes and we'll .... TOOOORRRONTOEEE-No, not yet? We just left Peterborough. Everyone is getting off. Coffee, none. Cocoa and cookie in abundance. Tunnel. Yippee! Pshaw, it isn't dark. Entering Royal York Hotel -that luxurious place filled with opulent people and space. Calling Miss Lawless, Miss Mary Lawless came a rumbling voice. tNow who would want her he-re?J Up the elevators to the mezzanine floor, the banquet hall, the ballroom. Behold the furniture, the pipe organ, fCanada's largest in factj. Aboard a Yonge Street car. Abrupt stop. The reason-Toronto's power unequal to the task. P.N.S. is in town. Is that man speaking English? Must ask Mr. Woodruff what those words mean-army talk probably. At the corner of Front and Yonge yet. Arriving at the Art Gallery. Too little time to enjoy the master- pieces-unable to locate Mr. McKinney's handiwork here. Perhaps Messrs. W. and S. found it in the Primary Department, downstairs! Phew! What a hike to Queen's Park. Into the Legislative Assembly where Sgt.-at-arms H. H. Robinson, V.C., explained the procedure by which legislation is enacted. Too bad we must leave-we like this instruction. fAnd the seatsl. 5023 to the Parliamentary Cafeteria. 5075 to Diana Sweets. Latter group saw the author of Rhyhmic Arithmetic. fPlugJ. Assembling in Royal Ontario Museum. See this place in two hours! No! Not in two weeks. How interesting to see examples of Chinese. Indian and Elizabethan culture! The Natural Science Section. The furniture types through the centuries! A capital afternoon! Dismissal. Some to locate friends, others to their hotel quarters, a few to the Union Station to catch the 6.35.

The Junior Red Cross RGANIZED late in the term, the Junior Red Cross group has had little opportunity at time of writing to accomplish a great deal.

Gordon Moore, after having finished shaving Leigh, was surprised to hear Leigh gasping, t'Water. Give me a glass of water. Gordon: You are not going to faint are you? Leigh: No. I just Want to see if my mouth will still hold water.

Street Y.M.C.A. to rest, to eat. Mr. Copp disappeared. So did Mr. Smitheram. Blair Hanthorn had his own difficulties-bare knees and others. 8.00 The Pop Symphony in Massey Hall. The Horse Show at the Coliseum. Couldn't be in two places at once. Magnificent is fitting to both, 11.20 Lillian Osborne won the 'cross-Toronto-dash. Caught the Oshawa train and had four seconds to spare. 11.35 Leaving Toronto, Had Messrs.'Copp, Woodruff and Smitheram not come to the rescue, some would have been left in Toronto. Does this train never get up speed? 12.55 Mr. Woodruff walked home-pacing the aisles. A.M. 1.55 Peterborough at last! What a day! Wouldn't have missed it for the world. 1 Withzhe Comrmments and- v .
