S. TRIP Q What a day! On February Q, Special Commercial and Grade 13 motored to Toronto on an inspection tour of the 3.N.R. buildings. The teachers who had the doubtful privilege of accompanying us were Mr. GOHL and Mr. MacDOKALD. The trans- portation was supplied also by Mrs. Aldred and Nr. Baylis. Mr. MacDONnLD chaperoned Special Commercial around some of the offices while we got an inside view of the procedures of office labour. Our first observation was the operation of teletype. Here we divided into two groups. ISABEL GIBSON, BARBARA HUNTER, LOIS LZASK, MARINA LEE, EKID CLLMENTS, and LOIi ASHTON, had their names inserted in a cablegram for a souvenir of their visit. Placed on our bul- letin board now, it reads: WThis is to certify that these girls were on a conducted tour of the Canadian National Tele- grgghi at BL7 Bay Street Toronto on the afternoon of February 5 . While this was transpiring, the other group consisting of CAROL HEAYL, IRLNL HEYLS, LnUREIH IARMICK, aLICE PORTER, JEAN TAYLOR, BUD Manhlhnh and myself were served refreshments in the cafeteria, where the other group joined us. This was a welcome break for everyone, as our afternoon of tramping around the city had only just begun. Also honoured by our humble appearance were several law offices, an accounting office, and the ticket office at the C.k.R. Here a kindly old gentleman patiently proceeded to explain the system of travelling around the country via C.M.R. how to buy a ticket to any destination, tariffs, etc. CMARINA and BUD were interested in buying tickets south where they planned to make their living at picking cotton.3 It was all very interesting, and the insight will no doubt be of value to us in the near future. In the meantime, Mr. GOHL supervised Grade l3, on a sim- ilar tour, concerned chiefly with the physics outlook. KAY ALDRED and JOAN CHnPIN delighted in using the teletype to con- tact one another. FAYE H-YDQN and ISOBEL BAYLIS were greatly amazed at the morse code, whereby the guides signalled to Alberta and there discerned immediate wheather conditions within a matter of seconds. NORM, JIM, and PAUL were interested in the delicate op- erations of the men in charge of switching radio programmes from different cities to different stations at precisely the moment it is scheduled to come into your home on your radio. EARL was most interested in the girl in the cafeteria. On the way home, most of us welcomed the opportunity of dropping in at Andrewfs to refresh our drooping spirits with chicken-in-a-basket, hamburgs, fish and chips and pan-cakes and bacon. This greatly revived us for the last lap home. It was a somewhat f1tiguing day, but on the whole, I think, very profitable to all concerned. -SYLVIA HANCOCK

TRIP T0 THE RGYAL WINTER FAIR This trip to the Royal Winter Fair was taken by all Grade Ten students including the girls, and to keep all the bus roar- ing with laughter JEANETTE DOB30N came along. Incidently, if did hear a noisy rumpus that morning around 9:00 o'clock you I hope you will understand it was only a rush for the seats on the bus. MR. GOHL accompanied the students. we arrived at the coliseum about ll:00 a.m. 0n touring the building many exhibits were examined. Many different kinds of flowers and tropical fish were seen. There was a dog show which attracted many admirers and also a square dance contest. In the afternoon a horse show was put on before a packed house. Many skillful riders participated with horses of equal ability. When all of the things to be seen had been seen some of the students ventured uptown to a show or a restaurant. The bus came to take us home around 5:00 o'clock. Although everyone was worn down to the last straw there was still sing- ing and hollering on the way home with the use of MARIE AFDERSONYS song sheet. Incidentally I donft think Marie has found it yet. FLOYD JAMES RYERSON TRIP 0n Friday April 30, a group of nine students from the Grade l2 guidance class escorted by MR. J. L. CRANE visited the Ryerson Institute of Technology in Toronto. MR. CRANE and MELVIH DITTRICK drove the students in their cars. The students were first introduced to MR.
