"Hearts and flowers"
theme of bake sale
Whirling, white snow outside
red and white carnations inside,
this was the setting Saturday,
February 17 as Mrs. 3. F.
Slater welcomed the ladies of
Adastral Park and of Clinton
to the annual Valentine Tea
and Bake Sale sponsored by
the Catholic Women's League
of St. .Paul's parish council,
Adastral Park.
Guests at this annual event
appreciated the generous disc
play of home baking and then
enjoyed a social hour at the
tea tables. Each table was de.
eorated in the traditional
"hearts and flowers" decor of
the Valentine month.
Mrs. 0. E. Warner, Mrs.
0. H. Hack, Mrs. F. D. Cook
and Mrs. K. Hester presided
at the tea table, decorative, as
a tea table always is, 'with,'
flOwers, lace and silver.
The guests were served tea
and an assortment of sweets
by: Anita Brochu, Paula Carey,
Debbie Daum, Karen McKenna,
Carolyn Mills and Bobbie
Hepley.
Mrs. Slater was assisted at
the door by Mrs. V. A. Foster
and Mrs. H. Sewell with the
tea tickets and Mrs. W. A.
Willberg and Mrs. J. L. Mc.
Kenna with the raffle tickets,
Mrs. F. P. DeLong drew ,the
winning tea ticket for Mrs.
Grace Durnayne, Clyde Sparks
of Adastral Park and Audrey

fie prizes.
The tea was convened under
the direction of Mrs, D. Pople,
assisted by Mrs. Shirley Ras•
musson with the raffle tickets
and Mrs. L. D. Shilson with
the tea tickets and Mrs. H.
Belton and Mrs. C. Carey with
the food arrangements.'
Special thanks to all the kind
ladies who so generously don.
ated their baking and to Mrg.
Herb Bridle for her donation of
the door prize. The annual tea
and bake sale, one of many
in the district is, like its noun.
terparts, a concrete example of
work and community support
and assistance for others. This
is what is represented by
flowers and silver, tea and
sweets on a winter afternoon.
It is noted that Mrs. V. Kennedy

They take my mind off the

Especially when I read quotes
such as this one: "For Cane

As with many annual reports
there were several rather de.
pressing items contained in its

kept in a nice balance by the
review of achievements. In the
report was a statement con.
cerning a serious decline in

Don't close Your eyes or plug
your ears or turn away indif-
ferently — lege the cold fact
this school is dead!!
Before you tear this up in
disgust — THINK; Who's to
blame for this? The Student's
council, the TeacherseNO! It's
YOU.
During the pest few months,
there seems 'to have been a de-
' dining amount of enthusiasm
within the student body. This
school sponsored activities,' For
example, the school newspaper
started out on a prosperous
looking season, The first news-
paper edition sold well. The sec-
ond was not received as en-
thusiae4tieally, while the third
was barely received. Why? The
newspaper staff works hard to
produce a paper that will inter-
est every student. It is not a
joke magazine or gossip column,
an the contrary, it tries to show
what is going on in the school
as well as what is happening
in the world. Despite all this,
the students don't want to read
it.
Another example of disinter-
est is shown by the small
ceowds that come to school
(emcee. The Student's Council
pays quite a lot of money for
bands, but only a handful of
students show up. Why? Is it
because teenagers of today
don't want to dress up in dec-
ent clothes and come ,to a re-
spectable dance. Would they
rather dress up in 'hippiee cos-
tume and hang out at the near-
est 'joint'?
Something that has been sup-
plied for the use of the students
is 'late buses'. These buses de-
part from the school at ap-
proximately five o'clock on
Thursdays for the various cen-
tres. These buses are supposed
to be used for the benefit of
the students either in getting
extra help or participating in
some extra curricular activity.
How many use them for this
purpose? eigain`,,theed af,6''Very
few who take 'advantage of
them. For some it is merely a
ride home after they have spent
from three-thiety to five in the
downtown billiard room.

Student's CouneileThese people
ask, "What do they do besides
having the prestige of being ..en
that privileged 'body?" Before
the students lay down a verdict
on the Council they should real-
ize what its job is. Ite is the
student's council. a body elected
by the students and therefore
should have the interest of the
students at heart. It does have
the student's interests at heart
but do the students feel sympa-
thetic toward the council? Do
they participate in activities
eponsored by the council? The
answer is NO!
For example, this year, as in
other years, a chdeolate bar
campaign was sponsored. Usu-
ally this project brings in a
large sum of money for the
Council which is used for its
operations. This year approxi-
mately four hundred dollars
was not returned, This is no
fault of the Council, but en-
tirely the fault of irresponsible
students. Another example of
disinterest on the part of the
students was the reception of
the Carolfest. This program was
rehearsed for many days by the
choirs and as a result the show
was excellent in quality — a
true credit to the school, How
was it received? By the stu-
dents it went unnoticed. The
people who came to see it were ,
primarily parents of the singers
and people from the commun-
ity. No wonder the Student's
Council gets a little discouraged
with participation like this!
In conclusion I would like to
make a suggestion. To make
this school year one that will
be looked back upon with hap-
py memories—you, the student,
must participate. If you have
ideas that you would like to see
carried out — suggest them.
Don't stand back and criticize:
