I have been asked by the Editor of THE EAGLE to write a few words about the Northwest Territories. I am not qualified to write any more than a very few words. The little I know of this vast area is based on two camping trips, one last summer and one two summers ago. The first summer we got as far as Fort Providence on the north bank of the Mackenzie. This past summer we got as far as Yellowknife on the Great Slave Lake. There are 1,511,979 square miles in the Territories and a population of one person to every 50 square miles. It is a wide and empty land. It has one road running north from the Alberta border, around the west end of Great Slave Lake, by ferry in summer (ice road in winter) across the Mackenzie and ending a few miles beyond Yellowknife. In time a second road will go around the east end of the lake. There are some fine rivers and some magnificent waterfalls along the way but for the most part the road twists its way through mile after mile of pine covered rock and muskeg. We didn’t do anything very spectacular but we had a fine holiday. At Lady Evelyn Falls on the Kakisa River we got caught in a downpour as we were fishing and both our watches stopped. Since it never gets dark at that season we soon lost all track of time. We visited the Indian community of Fort Rae, north and west of Yellowknife and discovered that the Sisters of Charity had just celebrated one hundred years of service in the little settlement. We caught some fish; we were visited by a bear; we bought ice at 50£ a block from two small girls in Yellowknife who made it in a deep freezer; we talked to Indians; we swam; we killed mos¬ quitoes and we drove 3,000 miles on the dusty gravel. It is the least crowded highway I have ever travelled. The people we met were all of them friendly. Many of them seemed surprised and pleased that we had come to see their part of Canada. Most visitors who come this way are Americans we were told; when Canadians wanted to go north they go to Alaska. The School is pleased to announce the appointment of Martin H. Thomas as Alumni Director with effect from January 1, 1968. Born and educated in London, Ontario, Mr. Thomas graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts from the Univer¬ sity of Western Ontario in 195 6 and was granted a Master’s degree in Business Administration in 1966. He is married and has one son and one daughter. Mr. Thomas has been employed with G.A. Brakeley and Co. Ltd. for ten years, and was elected a Director of the Company in October, 1966. During his career he has worked on a large number of local and national projects and has a wide experience in working with volunteer groups. Mr. Thomas will assume responsibility forall Alumni Affairs at the School. He will establish contact with all alumni, will begin publishing alumni bulletins on a regular basis, and will seek to serve all alumni and their school in every possible way.

tmJuud Dinner, which consisted of hot dogs, hot chocolate and ice cream was next, and then the two buses arrived to take the grade 8-9-10’s to the first Tally-Ho, at the Western Riding Stables, which started at 6:30. There were four sleighs on the first Tally-Ho. At 7:30, the ll’s and 12’s went by car to the stables, and enjoyed the Tally-Ho very much. The first Tally-Ho returned before the dance, and the second Tally-Ho returned about 15 minutes after the New Quid” had started to play. The band played very well, and the dance was quite a success. The Carnival was a great success because many peo¬ ple pitched in and helped. The following people were some of those people: Andy Wiswell, Greg Hill, John Macbeth, Gavin Smith, Sandy Shandro, Bob Dunstan, Stewart Searle, John McNichol, Kit Rowley, as well as the two secretaries, Mrs. Campenelli and Mrs. Brough. Thanks must go to these people as well as Mr. Broder¬ ick who was on duty, and Mr. Glegg, Mr. Ainley, and Mr. Shepherd who chaperoned the dance. The Carnival was for a charity not named as yet, and made a considerable profit.
