At night, she sang for the bail in Lake- view Casino. Hon Bryan Catheari, travel and publicity mintster, was guest. speaker. 5 HDHS forum Students want second gym, teen town, honors system (This forum appeared in the recent issue of Ink Spot", SH - DHS year book. "What one improvement would you like to see in our school and why?" This; question was asked a number of students and a major- ity of them experienced the • same first reaction. They con- strued their faces into expres- sions of deepest thought and then slowly allowed their coun- tenances to put- on a beautiful, bland expression. The sequel to this was a very laconic, very boring statement: "I don't know, the school suits me just the way it is." This, of course. is a great credit to our facilities and our faculty, but no- thing, not even SHDHS. is per- fect. Some students, realizing this, made the following re- sponses to the above question. Keith Hodgins (12A) approach- ed the subject from the athletes' toint of view. He felt that an - able thinking of her brother when ,she stated: 'It would be nice if, in some way, the cafe- teria meals could be more varied without raising the expense." Wayne Bowen (12) wants to "get rid of that blankety blank barberry bush out in front. 1 al- most killed myself getting a book out of there the other day when Fink threw it out the win- dow." Wayne is supported in this view by another naturalist, Bill Cocker. Sandra Reid MB.) states: "1, think we should have a new ac- tivity program or else have the students dismissed at 3:15. • Enough time is not allowed in our present program for it to derive the fullest benefit for the majority of students." • Bill Systme (10A) also gave an "athletic answer" to the question. He said: "It's a pretty good school as it is, but never-. theless the track should be im- proved. When you run around the track you don't know whether you're on the track or on the lawn. Now, mind you, that big mass of green on the track looks very nice but it's in the wrong place. Roy Smith (10D) wants the. whole academic course revamp- ed. He desires "a course of shop, library, gym and English." (s' funny he didn't replace Eng- lish with Health.) other gymnasium was needed, because, in the winter particu- larly, there is nothing for the students to do at noon hour ex - cc -pt wander about the halls. He; also felt that. because of lack of facilities, our intramural and! physical training programs have reached a point where they no longer derive the greatest bene - bit for the student.

Bill is •a,one time ner of the Dominion Drama Fs• tival award ae best actor but is rarely seen in acting roles on ,TV. Speaking of that panel show lawyer Royce 'Frith surprises me with his TV poise. Frith might have got, on TV for either of two reasons; .first he is a shoselsusiness lawyer (George Murray is one of his clients), or second he is, or was, president of the Ontario Young Liberals Association and TV is 'becoming the politicians' favourite med- ium. Still with the panel, moderator Chuck Templeton, ex -cartoonist ex -evangelist, admitted on a TV interview some months ago that two political parties were .th- terested in him. I guess he has now chosen sides. He is current- ly page seven editor of the To- ronto Star. He spends his off time with bride Sylvia Murphy and her two youngsters at their northern Ontario cottage. Sylvia is having a good vaca- • tion and only has to go in to Toronto once a week. to record her part on the Billy O'Connor radio • show. Later in the month she goes nut west, for some personal ap- pearances with Billy. Joyce Hehn's record is re. leased in the States this week. Although the Johnny Cowell tune has been getting a big play locally Joyce .tells me that in Montreal the flip side. an oldie, "Hold Me", is doing better. 10,400 sign CLERK PURCHASES AGENCY .

The Times -Advocate • They'll miss the Smiths at Trout Lake this summer Everyone on Trout Lake knew and liked the Smiths. You'd see them up at their cottage every weekend, -you'd hear the children's carefree laughter echoing across the lake. And Mr. Smith never failed to give you a friendly wave as he cruised by in his boat. But Trout Lake won't see the. happy Smith family any:more . , all because Mr. Smith was in a hurry to get up to the cottage for the weekend. He left at night and drove too fast . . and there was an accident! The Smith's cottage is for sale now. And it needn't have happened! is it worth your life and your family's jut to get to the cottage a few minutes earlier? Remember, you have a whole summer for fun and relaxation— don't, try to squeeze in a few extra minutes by driving carelessly! Your Ontario Department of Transport urges you to observe the speed limits. And when driving at night, always lower your headlights when ap. proaching or following another motor vehicle.
