The graduation formal will be held on Friday, May 14, It seems like a long time until then but now is the time to plan to attend. The graduation formal is the social event of the year and regardless of what grade you are graduating from, all of the students are invited to attend. To the boys, the formal may sound like a dull, expen- sive evening; however, most girls are just "dying" to be ask- ed. So fellows, prove that you are still the superior sex by ask- ing some girl and doing her a big favor, 0--0--0 PREFECTS THANK BOARD FOR TRIP TO TORONTO Last Friday, the prefects chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. E.

May Apply for Advance Admission to University High school students can now receive assurance of admission to Waterloo Lutheran University shortly after writing their Grade 13 Christmas examinations. Dr. Lloyd Schaus, dean of the arts and science faculty, said the change in entrance re- quirements means that a stu- dent can approach his final Grade 13 examinations without the usual pressure that can crip- ple even a good student, The admission is final, con- ditional only on the student getting 50 per cent average on his final examination. He need not have the usual 60 per cent average. To qualify for the advance admission, the student must have an average of 70 percent or better in Grades 11 and 12 with no mark below 65; an average of 70 per cent at the mid-term Christmas Grade 13 examinations with no mark be- low 65. The student must not have spent more than five years in secondary school. "We may be taking a small risk but not much, really, " Dean Schaus said. "He has to be a pretty good student to qualify but advance admission will take the pressure off him when he writes the final." He added that students will still want to try for high marks since scholarships and bursaries depend on gaining good grades in his Grade 13 work. Students applying for ad- vance admission must make a $50 deposit, which is applied to tuition expenses: the Parliament Buildings, where we witnessed a portion of the events of the third session of the 1965 parliament. As guests of Mr. M. Gaunt, Liberal M. P. for Huron -Bruce, we ate our lunch in a committee room and were taken on a short tour of the building. At 1 we left for O'Keefe Centre where we attended, and I speak for all of the prefects when I say we enjoyed im- mensely the performance of the musical comedy, "Half a Sixpence", starring Tommy Steele who is from England. After the performance, which ended at 4:30, we drove out to the new Toronto Inter- national Airport for supper. We were allowed a short time to walk around and see the new airport. At 7 we left for home and arrived back at the school at about 10;30. For a day such as this it is well worth being a prefect and the school board is to be heart- ily thanked for the trip. The prefects thank the teachers, too, who went on duty for the day and helped make the trip possible. Mrs. Jackson Shows Slides BELGRAVE-The C.G.I. T. meeting was held in the church school room on Thursday. The president, Wendy Fear, con- ducted the opening exercises with Scripture, Scripture ref- erence and prayer.

CGIT to Sing For Shut-ins This Easter On Tuesday of last week, 68 girls and leaders of the Wing- ham C, G. I. T. had supper in the Sunday School room of the United Church, The pot luck arrangements produced bounti- ful results for the quantity and variety of first -course dishes, matched by the colourful array provided for dessert. During supper songs broke the clatter of eating and laughter as new ver- ses were created for old songs. Everyone listened carefully to these to find out who had been the inspiration for the verses. The supper was held to mark the conclusion of the mission study project on Brazil and Trin- idad. A personal glimpse of this area was given to the girls by Miss M. Keogh who showed colored slides she had taken in Dominica during her two years' service there in social service. Hearing her account of this work, of the fine people, and of the colorful country, gave the members new insight into Dominica. Linda Reavie thank- ed Miss Keogh and presented her with a token gift of appre- ciation. Miss Keogh was introduced by Mrs. R.Campbell after the worship service. The theme for this was Stewardship, under the leadership of Mrs. M. Ritchie's group. This week the intermediate girls will make Easter baskets for the junior congregation, after practising special Easter music. The C.G.I. T. Easter worship service will be conduct- ed onducted by Mrs. K. Wood's group.
