FIELD TRIPS There were at least 30 field trips this year, far too many to provide detailed reports. How- ever, we have included two reports as they cap- ture the spirit of much of the learning that is acquired on our field trips. While some classes went to the Glenbow Museum and to Banff, others went to the Planetarium, the Glenbow Art Gallery, the Leighton Centre, Drisdale's Farm, Heritage Park, the University of Calgary, Magis- trate's Court, the Supreme Court, a radio station, a Chinese restaurant, the airport, the fuel cell powerplant, Drumheller, a synagogue and some went to Sunshine to ski and others attended the Rodeo Royal. A DAY IN BANFF lt all started off when we were talking about Indians. So we arranged it. We got into a small bus and took off. Our driver was Mrs. White, and Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Goldstein and Mrs. Davis were supervising us. On the way to Banff we passed lumping Pound which is a cliff where buffalo were driven over. We went on and reached the park gates, drove around in a semi-circle and came to the Luxton Museum. There we saw bears, wolves and a gopher and they were all stuffed. We also saw Indians having ceremonies. After we toured the museum we went into the Trading Post then gOt back into the bus and went to see the town. Mrs. Goldstein bought us ice cream which must have cost a lot. Later we headed for Lake Minnewanka where we had lunch. On our way home we saw a coyote and a hog's back. We stopped for gas and then we went home. i hope we go to Banff again. Sara Goldstein, Grade 4 A TRIP TO THE GLENBOW We went to the Glenbow Museum on Fri- day, May 4th to learn about lndian myths. The ladies at the museum explained to us that Indians believe that the world is a three part system: the earth, where they live, the sky world where the birds live, the underworld, where the fish live. One lady described the system as three discs, one on top of each other. The class was then split up and we were taken to a teepee. There we learned many dif- ferent customs about the Indians. One custom was that men walk into the teepee from the right and women from the left. Inside, they sit the same way, men to the right, women to the left and none is to sit blocking the doorway. Finally, we were taken to the exhibits. There we learned myths of the Plains Indians and the Coastal Indians. Melanie McCaig, Grade 5 OUTDOORS CLUB EXPEDITIONS The Outdoors Club organized three trips for the summer of '73. Reports of these trips should appear in next year's Paidia. Mr. Nelson is to lead a back-packing trip through bush and alpine country in the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Piorecky and Mr. Schmit are to lead a canoe trip around the Bowron Lake circuit in British Columbia and Mr. Kilb and Mr. Hay will lead a trail riding trip in the junction Creek area, west of the Sheep River ranger station. As usual, Mr. Bauman took his Grade 5B class for their camping trip on the Highwood at the end of May - early june. A most successful trip, it was eagerly awaited by all the 5Bs. Special thanks to Mr. Ray for all his help and to parents who drove and collected the students.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC A day begins. Such a simple and important thing and with it everything begins anew. A boy wakes up in bed.
