JJc ctaciid m Staff Sometimes it ' s fun; Sometimes it ' s depressing; Sometimes it ' s thrilling; Sometimes it ' s challenging. All the time it ' s work; All the time it ' s HAGGIS . The prefect system was brought into being in the year 1962-63. Since then, the organization and its duties have been modified and widened for the benefit of the school. There are 20 prefects chosen by the prefect body, the staff and the principal. This year Tim Dittmar was elected Head Prefect. The prefects have a simple objective: to assist in the smooth running of the school. Their duties in- clude supervision in the detention room, cafeteria, library and the lost and found office. As the school grows older, it is hoped that prefects will become a traditionally accepted part of our daily lives. With the co-operation of the student body, we shall succeed.

March 4 - Work began on the new classroom additions to our school. March 5 - Mid Term Exams begin. March 12 - Mid- Term Exams end. March 18 - On the evening of March 18th, McLaughlin C.V.I, was extremely fortunate and very honoured to have Professor Donald Creighton formerly the chairman of the Department of History at the University of Toronto, speak to an assembly of students from several high schools on the subject of MacDonald and Confederation. Professor Creighton is the expert on this subject and is considered one of the best historians now writing in the English speaking world . Professor Creighton ' s lecture was captivating and enlight- ening. March 19 - Boojum Bounce On March 19th the male teachers of the MCVI staff took on the senior boys in a gruelling basketball game. Following the game, a dance was held. Supported by the Pep Club, the dance was a great success. We hope that all those who came out to support the team of their choice (naturally the senior boys), enjoyed their evening. Sharon Smith March 24 - An interested group of McLaughlin stu- dents attended the showing of My Fair Lady at the University Theatre, Toronto and thoroughly enjoyed it. March 25 - Fashion Show Those who thought last year ' s Fashion Show was good were happy to see this event surpassed with this year ' s show. Credit goes to Mrs. Blight and her home economic students who displayed their fine talents and hard work for the enjoyment of the sell-out audience. 70 March 26 - T.C. Douglas, leader of the Canadian N.D.P. Party addressed the student assembly and directed a lively discussion period. March 31 - A showing of the film Tea House of the August Moon was held followed by a Sock Hop, both of which the students thoroughly enjoyed. April 9 - Junior Prom The theme for this year ' s Junior Prom was Avril en Paris . In case you don ' t know, that ' s French for April in Paris . The sidewalk cafe was crowded with the Eiffel Tower in the background, the atmosphere was just right for a gala evening on the town. Those who attended dined and danced in the street and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Mr. Hoffstetter for assisting with the decorations. It is hoped that your evening in Paris was a memorable one. Sharon Smith. April 13 - Career Day On this our first Career Day, speakers prominent and knowledgeable in their fields, generously gave of their time to explain a great variety of careers to students of grades 11, 12 and 13. Each exposi- tion lasted about 3 4 hr. with the rest of the hour taken up by a question period. Students acted as chairmen, and other students introduced the speak- ers. An attempt was made to meet most students ' requests, if not by a lecture, then by a visit to premises where the career mentioned was being carried on.
