HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGI-IAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 THE LITERARY SOCIETY of the WDHS Student Council staged several humorous skits on Friday afternoon which were en- joyed by the student body. Pictured above are members of the cast from Grade XI IA which staged a satire from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", which probably has the author turning over in his grave. The two stars of the production, Glenn Machan, kneeling, and Harold Campbell, are in the foreground. —Photo by Dick Scott, CANCER DRIVE In connection with the W.D. H.

If the answer is "Yes", you've bought something you're mighty proud of and you have a right to be. After all, a home is probably the biggest invest- ment you'll make in a lifetime. You spent a lot of time choosing the right location, style and size. Those things were important because you bought the home for your wife and family too. And you'll want to make sure that they will go on living there even if you are not around.

We are a bit dubious about trying to pass this off as a typographical mis- take. At any rate, the canvassers went forth last*eek-end to ca canvass houses and the results of their efforts and the generos- ity of the people will he avail- able for publication next week. 0--0--0 SQUIBBLED SQUIBS Fire doors are being install- ed in the main corridor. At the time this is written, the frames are there but the glass is yet to come. Last Friday, students brought home Easter report cards for their parents signatures. This Monday, pupils were given per- mission cards requiring paren- tal approval of various inocu- lations. Official opening of the Voc- ational addition will take place tonight (Thursday), beginning at 8.00. The Honourable Wit. ham G. Davis, Ontario Educa- tion minister will be the Chief dignitary present. Open House will also be in force Friday night. LITERARY MEETING Alex Hamilton, president of the Student's Council was the MC for the literary meeting last Thursday afternoon and the special guest was Mr. DeWitt Miller, who addressed the stu- dents on the cancer drive the following evening. He encour- aged them to work a little hard- er this year in an effort to elim- inate this killer. Ruth Casagrande favored the pupils with an accordion selec- tion. In answer to many requests for folk singing at these meet- ings four students, Brenda Con- ron, Gail Henderson, Mary Jane Slosser and Susan Reynolds sang "Four Strong Winds". It was nicely done. Elwin Moore read theJournal which consisted mainly ofbas- ketball results since February. It would only embarrass the girls if we mentioned the partic- ulars. Several jokes were pass- ed along, one of them being to the effect that Mrs. Campbell asked a student," Who defeated the Normans?" The student re- plied, "I don't follow the minor leagues.'' An enjoyable innovation was a touch of real Highland music provided by five students with bagpipes and drum. They were John Blackwell, Brian McKague, Mac Armstrong, Tom Grant and Gilbert Roane. Twelve A provided a skit which proved very amusing. The charming Leading Lady, Cleo- patra (Glen Machan) took every• one's eye, Dressed in kilts Muriel Conn danced the Highland Fling and Linda Johnson provided two en- joyable piano selections. There was a slight delay he - fore the last number on the program was staged but the Stin• grays proved well worth wait- ing for, Metubers of the band are Pete Russell, drums; Doug Hall, electricguitar; Alan Leg- gatt, organ and Wayne Farrier, Lions Donate for Park Washrooms (Continued from Page One) The Public Utilities Com- tnission which controls the low- erpond, is providing funds to clean it out and this project will create the most notable improvement in the whole de- velopment. Throughout the years the pond has become choked with weeds and silt and by midsummer each year becomes odorous and unsightly. After the cleaning job, it will form a beautiful lake right in the middle of the town. It is anticipated that motor boating will be permitted only on the lower pond after it has been improved, and that the upper pond will be reserved for those who want to use canoes and other non -powered craft, thus making all types of boating as safe as possible. BIG CONTRIBUTION Much credit is due to the P. U.C. for their public-spirited attitude in connection with the pond project. Besides the im- provement to the scenic beau- ties of the Park, the Commis- sion will benefit directly through improved water storage facilities, since the pond still provides the head of water for an electrical generator in Lower Town operated by the P. U.C. Now that the Lions Club has added its financial backing to the Park development it has become a truly community- wide enterprise of which every citizen may well be proud. The camping area will pro- vide a real attraction to our town. Already there have been many inquiries from those who have taken up camping about when the facilities will be ready for use. Following the pattern of other places where such camps have been established, we may expect visitors from all over the continent in the course of the next few years. The board is looking forward to the time when approval may be granted for the extension of the Park area beyond the Mc- Kenzie bridge to the easterly limits of the town, which would give Wingham one of the finest parks in Ontario. SURPRISE PARTY WROXETER-A group of neighbours staged a surprise par- ty for Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Mc- Cutcheon at their home Monday evening prior to their departure from their farm which has been sold to Ross Nicholson. During the evening Mrs. George Gibson read an address and Mrs. Morley McMichael presented the couple with a gift of money. The evening was spent playing cards and croki- nole. sax. These fellows are doing well and the students think they are "tops". Announcement of the open- ing of the school this week and the graduation formal were. trade. All male students are asked to note that the formal is May 15th. The program was much en' joyed by the student body, who arc hoping for more Lit, meet- ings in the future.
