HIGHLIGHTS from the HIGH SCHOOL) Around School Well, you might think things would cool off a little around Wingham Dis­ trict High School after the heat of Easter examinations, but that is just the opposite to what has really hap­ pened. The fact that our annual Cadet In­ spection Day is on May 10th, is creat­ ing quite a bit of activity around our dear old institution. Mr. Heney and the various student officers are turning grey trying to teach some of those long-legged boys to march like real soldiery. It must be quite a job, but we aren’t too worried’ because everybody seems to catch the martial spirit when the great day rolls around. Mrs. Williams is making a real pro­ duction out of the girls’ gymnastic display, and these W.D.H.S. gals in their uniform costumes promise to be one of the big attractions of the day. Then there is the band. If the mar­ ching back and forth before the school keeps up, we’ll soon need a re­ paving job on Carling Terrace. Mr. Jackson, in charge of the bugle band, has had his little group marching up and down tooting and drumming for quite a number of days. Mr. Jack- son is even ^thinking of organizing a fan club among the dozens of local children who gather at the school every afternoon at three o’clock to hear the music. The building of the new school 4s another notable activity. Machinery always seems to draw a crowd that English, history and French can’t do. Some of the teachers have threaten­ ed to draw the blinds on the windows that face the site of the new building. The girls, especially, seem to have trouble concentrating. Remember, the public is invited to our big cadet inspection, and we are hoping to have a big crowd on hand for the event. Catherine Keating * * * and next week the singles will begin. Most of those students who took part in the doubles are looking forward to these singles and hoping they will enjoy them as much as they enjoyed the doubles. Donalda MacDonald 0-0-0 Concert in Toronto During the Easter holidays, eight students from Wingham District High School journeyed to Toronto tp sing in an all-provincial choir, which is formed every year to entertain the teachers attending the Teachers’ Fed- ration. The students were Dave Dona­ hue, George Hall, Don Edgar, Neil Eadie, Ken Holmes, Ivan McKague, Shirley Bradbum and Pat Rider. We spent a very enjoyable time in Tor­ onto, from Tuesday morning until Thursday morning, and had the op­ portunity of meeting students from many parts of the province, including Ottawa, Niagara Falls, London, Guelph and Windsor, to name a few. This year the choir was conducted by Don Wright, leader of the Don Wright Chorus. The girls went to Toronto with Mr. Madill, while the boys went with George Hall. In order to be at the re­ hearsal by 8.30 or 9.00 a. m. on Tues­ day, we had to get up with the birds, (although we didn’t go to bed at the time they did), and be out of Wing­ ham by 5.15 a.m. We arrived in good time, and after registration got right down to rehearsal. We also rehearsed Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning at the Jarvis Street school, and Wednesday afternoon at Eaton auditorium. Then the big night came, Climax of weeks of practice. The choir ^ang eight pieces, The members of the string orchestra came from different cities in Ontario, and were conducted by John A. Montague, The Pboir was Accompanied by mem­ bers of the North Toronto Collegiate Orchestra, Alex Clark, phorus organist for Don Wright. Solos were also in­ cluded in the program. The concert was a great success, and we hope the audience enjoyed listening to the choir as much as we enjoyed singing Jn it. Mr. Wright is a very able conductor, besides being a wonderful person; We should like to thank the board for giving students of Wingham this opportunity to sing in the choir, and we hope that the practice will be con­ tinued in future years.

As you remember, the literary executive decided to buy two tables for table-tennis, which was to be played during dinner hour. The first doubles in the tournament 'among the girls was won by Audrey Mahood and Lois Thompson, who de­ feated Helen Wilson and Nancy Car­ ter. Some of the girls taking part in this tournament had never played table-tennis before, and they did very well considering this fact. The boyg also had a table tennis tournament. The winners in the boys’ double were Barry Fryfogle and Jim Campbell, defeating Murray Shiell and Ivan McQuillan. Table-tennis can be played in doub­ les or singles.
