Hoffman To Be in Hanover The Hanover Coliseum will r.t the site for a Lutheran Hour Rally, it was announced last Sunday at a meeting of the Lutheran Laymen's League Conunittee who will sponsor the event. The rally is scheduled for the last Sunday in May. The widely known speaker of The Lutheran Hour, Dr. Oswald I loffrrtan, w ill be present. I'he Lutheran hour is the lar- gest non -p% eminent radio op- eration in the world. It carries the Cuspc•1 message into more than 120 countries, in more than 40 languages.

HIGHLIGHTS tion was defined as follows; To provide a conscientious group of senior students to whom the principal, staff, and students may turn for advice and ser- itc. Duties of the prefect would include class supervision, noon hour supervision and assembly dut. The group would be made up of sixteen Grade Twelve students, fiteeen from Grade Thirteen and a staff ad- visor.

The eight students left the school at about 8.45 in cars driven by Mr. Willis and Mr. Wood, and arrived about 2-'z hours later at Eglinton subway terminal. From here, the teachers left, suppos- edly to repair Mr. Wood's tire which had mysteriously become flat (on the bottom only) in the outskirts of Toronto, while the students continued, via the sub- way, to Eaton's. After dinner in the cafeteria, the students inet the teachers at the Fair. Some of the projects were a Telsa coil (a device for producing very high voltage cur- rents); electroplating; a fuel cell producing electric current from hydrogen and oxygen; ex- periment with plants growing in soils deficient in nitrogen and potassium; a rocket designed to soar up 100 miles, and a model of the Douglas Point nuclear power station. Having observed many of the 40 odd entries in action, the students and tea- chers went to the Royal Ontario Museum for about an hour be- fore leaving Toronto. About 6.30 the students arrived back at the school after a very en- joyable day. Those who made the trip were Jim Nasntith, Brock l rue - Ston, John Edward, Charles Con - grain, Doug Elliott, Jim Robin- son, Barry Scott, and Peter Ma- son. Last week the Science Club President, Jim Robinson, was informed that he has been se- lected to attend a Science Se- minar for :35 students across Ca- nada for six weeks during the summer.
