A typical example of one of these nights was held on Friday, December 15th. Several of the school's badminton fiends gathered in the gym at seven o'clock and kept the birdies flying until around nine, when the Black Marauders encountered the Tillsonburg Trojans in a thrilling fight-to- the-finish basketball game. Our boys tried very hard but just could not seem to con- quer the mighty Trojans. After the lights were dimmed and soft music could be heard, everyone enjoyed dancing, with Dave Richards acting has ML. Refreshments were sold in the cafeteria by the Students' Council. Gloria Haycock, XII-A ..-.TO-...i THOUGHTS WHILE WRITING EXAMS IN THE CAFETERIA The room is full of silence rare, But the clock keeps clicking on, W'e try so hard to concentrate: Something soon should dawn. However slow the hours go Not a thing is ever thought. Our minds are blank and thus our pens, They will not even blot. The odours from the kitchen here Distract our good intent. VVe really didn't mean to fail, A pass was what we meant. Elizabeth Simmons, Xlll. THE TATLER
