Grips THE ROYAL WlNTEi FAIR fJean Samellsl Tuesday, November the eighteenth, was indeed a very happy day for the Grade ten students of Port Perry High School, for this was the day the second formers visited the Royal Winter Fair held in the Colliseum on the Exhibition Grounds in Toronto, On that morning, anyone in the school could see that these students, dressed in their best attire, were ready for a grand time at the fair. The chartered bus left the high school about nine o'clock and by eleven o'clock all were inside the Colliseum. Cne cannot attempt to mention all the attractions of this great fair because even in an afternoon it is irpossible to see all the exhibits. However, the flower exhibits which were outstanding were seen by many students. Many flowers were on display. each as attractive as the other. Of course, it is impossible to overlook the apple displays which are very colourful. Many apples were there from British Columbia as well as from many other parts of Canada. Livestock always plays a big part in the Royal Winter Fair. Nany of our students toured the Horse Palace and there saw several classes of livestock being judged. Another out- standing feature of the fair was the horse show which has won renown for itself. Were we ever proud when we heard that our Canadian jumping team, which we saw in action at the Royal, had won the international jurping title. At the Colliseum,ngni9tures of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Niagara hydro-power development were also seen. The exhibits of tropical fish, insects, automobiles and farm implements also interested many of our second formers. The liniature -',. Royal for children, containing kittens, white mice, pups and donkeys. was also very interesting. All students found the Royal Theatre a very pleasant place to rest tired feet while enjoying a movie. When the time came to return home, all piled into the bus. They were still very rappy but now they were also very tired. The arrival of the bus in Port Perry ended the trip which was both enjoyable and educational.
