ONTnRIO ATHLETIC TRAINING CAMP Boardering on the picturesque shores of Lake Couchi- ching is situated the Ontario Athletic Training Camp. As I approached the camp site, I was filled with ex- citement for, before me I viewed a huge playing field which consisted of two basketball courts, three badminton courts, and three tennis courts, a quarter mile track, archery range and at the far end, the blue waters of Lake Couchiching could be seen through the rows of trees skirt ing the banks. One hundred girls all very proud to represent their High School and Collegiates in Ontario shared these two enchanting weeks. Ten cabins housing ten girls each were suitably arranged around the camp. Keen competition pre- vailed between the cabins in lively tournaments held in each sport. Under the instruction of Ontario's finest Physical Education Instructors were taught the skills and teaching points of Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Badminton, - Aquadics, Square Dancing, Archery, Track and Field, and Speed Ball. The knowledge I acquired from this training has proven beneficial in this year's school sports. Campfires skit movies, sing-songs, square dancing provided our evening entertainment, with a tasty snack concluding the evening. The last evening of camp was in one way the happiest and yet the saddest. Happy because a turkey was served. The winners were presented awards, crests and certificates Sad because we were to depart, leaving our new found friends. If the privilege of attending O.A.T.C. is ever yours, I hope you will avail yourself of the opportunity, for those two weeks will be the most cherished of your school life.

O.M.E.A. MUSIC FESTIVAL The Ontario Music Educator's Association for the past four years have sponsored a provincial choir, with three hundred students from forty high schools and collegiates from all over the province participating. The programme consists of selections from the choir, orchestra, and outstanding guest soloists. This year as in previous years, Port Perry High School was again represented. Due to the fact, however, that the majority of the boys attended a basket ball tournament in Kingston, only two students were represented in the choirg NANCY KIGHT, and BARBARA LOVE. Under the marvellous direction of Don Wright, the concert was presented to an overwhelming audience in the Eaton Auditorium on April 21. The students who came from all parts of the province spent only two days as a complete group rehearsal, however we were well prepared by the capable training of Mr. Brooks. A During the two day rehearsal, I became acquainted with many new friends. A splendid dance at Jarvis Collegiate on Tuesday night added to the enjoyable programme provided by the Music Educator's Association. Nine selections constituted the programme. Break Forth Oh Beautious Heavenly Light - J. S. Bach Mary and Martha - Don Wright God of Our Fathers - Fred Waring When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Peter Jwilhouhy Nocture - Don Wright He's Going' Away - John Jacob Niles, Veneta - Brahams Are You Sleeping - Don Wright I Am He That Liveth - Walter Gale ion Wright the noted choir leader with his touch of genius both thrilled the audience and students with his personal interpretation of the music. It was a privilege and an honour for me to represent my school at the O.M.E.A Music Festival this year. Future students who have the same opportunity, may I advise you to take full advantage of it. You will gain valuable experience and later recall many enjoyable moments. BARBARA LOVE
