-prakvrnl ASSEMBLIES In one of our few special assemblies this year, the pupils of P.P.H.S: had, as a speaker, Mr. Thompson. Brought to the school by Mr. Crane, Mr. Thompson spoke about England, his present home. As Mr, Thompson is a Canadian he knows about both Canada and England. In his talk he told us about England and the heavy fog that hangs over the countryside. After his talk most of us were able to appreciate our comfortable school buildings in Canada. The president of the Students' Council, Mary Wilson, thanked Mr. Thompson for his interesting and educational talk. KPatty Hewittl Near the first of the year a young Port Perry citizen named Victor Chilton returned from Korea and renewed his acquaintances with many of the high school students who were his former class- mates. Victor honoured us by accepting an invitation to speak at Port Perry High School. He told of some of his experiences in Korea and gave us a very good idea of the conditions and hardships over there. He said that he would like to return to the army but will continue to live in Port Perry for the present time. At the close of Victor's visit he was presented with a gift by Mary Wilson, president of the Students' Council. Victor's visit was appreciated by everyone and we were very glad to welcome him home after eighteen months of active service in Korea. CMuriel Tummondsl During the year a member of the Royal Canadian Navy visited our school.
