Here, a choir garbed in Latin dress, offers several renditions of Latin songs. Doug Ecker Photo Editorial January reports coming On Friday last, students received their interim reports. These reports are issued to show the student and his parents how he is doing thus far. These marks, however, are relatively unstable as to those that will appear on the January reports. This depends on how the stu- dent does on the exams. Some students do better, while others do worse. The decision rests on the student. The January set of marks are very important for the Year V students. These marks are sent out to the universities. Teachers have told students that their interim marks are irrelevant to the January ones. I am a Canadian LATIN FOOD Latin food was Me main fare of the Latin bartquet held of SHDHS for members of the Latin classes.

The team is one of many touring the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe, each team being responsible for - a specific geographical location. The players re-group twice a year for two weeks intensive training and study, at Reseda, California, their home-base, under the leadership of Director Charles Tanner. New teams are then developed and return to bring the gospel message into communities throughout the country. Included in the team touring south western Ontario are Unit Leader Mark Beal from Omaha, Nebraska, Norma Brown from Salanis, California, Sue Atter- bury from Bellingham, Washington, Candy Hallenbeck from Seguin, Texas and Ben McNeilly from Surrey, British Columbia. The group has a repertoire of some five hundred plays ranging in length from 30 seconds to an hour and a half. In addition, they arrange for drama workshops for any interested groups. Generally they are in each area twice a year, and plan to be returning to the London area early next February. Because of the excellent response to Sunday evening's program, the Ailsa Craig Ministerial Association felt they would consider having the group return at some future date. Players present drama For a few participants it was the first time they had been out shopping in the evening for many years as seven of the residents from Craigholme Nursing Home in Ailsa Craig spent Monday evening Christmas shopping in downtown London. Responding to an invitation from Eaton's to nursing home residents to a special evening at the Wellington Square store, seven residents from Craigholme were able to shop and browse through the brightly decorated stores. They were among many from other homes in London who were given this opportunity. Many were in wheel chairs, but it is doubltful that the store very often experiences so many smiling faces. As these special customers entered Eaton's each was presented with a red carnation and an offer was extended to check coats to make people more comfortable. Throughout the store, clerks were specifically on hand to meet their needs and insure their comfort, They were reminded that at 8 p.m. everyone was invited to the restaurant upstairs for refreshments and music. On entering the restaurant each was again surprised with a small gift — the ladies with a sweet smelling soap, and the men With after shave lotion, Once inside they were offered tea or coffee, and Christmas cookies and cake. Christmas music filled the air and soon all joined in singing Christmas carols. A blind gentleman from one of the London homes added to the joy of the moment by accompanying the organ with his mouth organ, Even lovable old Santa Claus found his way to the party. He came well prepared and presented each with a small jar of jam or box of cookies and a candy cane. Many London teenagers volunteered their help for the evening, and manned the store elevators as well as helping with wheel chairs. By MRS.

My skin is black, or brown, or red, or white, or yellow. My God has many names, for my beliefs are Christian-Catholic and Protestant-Judaic, Islamic or Buddhist; even agnostic or atheist. My ancestors came from many lands, some recently, some long centuries ago. My language is many tongues. My philosophies and politics range across the whole spectrum of man's beliefs, understanding and experience. My Canada is a totem pole beside a Pacific inlet, a train winding through the mountains, a prairie elevator, a barren stretch of tundra, city sky scrapers against a sunset, or lighthouse beam wheeling from a lonely cape, a church spire thrusting from a blaze of trees in autumn, fishing boats pulling into shore at dusk. My Canada is the lonely cry of a loon across a still lake, crisp mountain air at dawn, the crackle of harvest stubble underfoot, T.B. test Monday morning, the school's health nurse was very busy. It was the day of the tuberculin tests. A steady stream of students filed down to the health room to get their shots. It is merely a fluid injected just under the skin. Later the nurse comes back to check the students' arms where they received the injection for the results of the injections. newly fallen snow turned blue by a pale moon shining. My Canada is lovers walking by the sea, old men soaking up the sun on a park bench, children racing across a schoolyard, secretaries rushing to the office and young men watching the girls go by. My Canada is cowboys roun- ding up cattle in the shadow of the Rockies, automobiles coming off an assembly line, dog teams racing across frozen wastes, tractors leaving a trail of freshly turned soil, tobacco drying in the sheds, loaded freighters pushing up the St. Lawrence. Being a Canadian means that I am aware of the needs, problems and dreams of those with whom I share this land —to be a giver,not a taker, to preserve unity and the law and to bring about change by orderly means. It means doing my share to ensure that the best people run for public office, that as many voters as possible go to the polls, with sufficient knowledge to make a wise choice, that those who are elected are given the support and en- couragement to govern wisely and well. Being a Canadian means that I must help ensure the preser- vation of my country against apathy, ignorance and prejudice, against greed, avarice and jealousy, against selfishness, short sightedness and ex- ploitation. Being a Canadian means standing proudly and fearlessly to proclaim: I am a Canadian. Potpourri S.L.L. By JEANNIE PAVKEJE You never realize what a good memory you have until you try to forget something. Listening to both sides of a story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides. With hospital costs what they are, its impossible for anyone to be ill at ease. Appetizers are those little things you keep eating until you lose your appetite. Just remember — when you think all is lost, the future remains. Camping By SUSAN ZIELMAN DONNA FLEMING If you like the great outdoors, sitting around a campfire (freezing) hiking out in the wilderness, climbing steep mountains, living off the land getting lost, and being attacked by bears then you might enjoy the various trips the outer's clubs provide. These people learn all about our natural surroundings, how to survive in our beautiful Canadian wilderness and to just have a good time together. So if you want to enjoy this life, get involved, join the outers club. Few people out for Old Sailor dance The trip to Ottawa, several stags, hockey games and the other regular activities in the area limited the number of people who attended the dance held last Friday night at South Huron. However, those that were able to attend were entertained by the music of Old Sailor and enjoyed themselves until the close of the activities. Covenant players show at Ailsa Craig
