Webster With exams barely •com- Pleted,24 students along with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mann visited sunny Southern Spain and Morocco during the winter break. We landed at Malaga where we, the overly excited students, were quickly taken to "Hotel Angela". We spent the first two days in Fuengirola. One of the first items on the itinerary was a sightseeing tour of Malaga and then on to a winery where we had the opportunity to sample various wines. Perhaps one of the highlights of our first stay in "La Costa ',del Sol' was the bullfight at Torremolinos. Even though there were same gory scenes, everyone was glad that he had attended the bullfight - a very charac- teristic sport of Spain. Wead enjoyed our short stay in Spain. However, we could not envision the new experiences that were ahead of us in Morocco. An early departure from Fuengirola was necessary in order to board the beat that took us to Tangier in Nor- thern Morocco. The next three days were spent visiting typical villages up in the mountains such as Tetuan and Chaoven. The most frightening experience in Morocco was our guided tours through the "Kasbahs". The K, asbah, consists"- 'nf open markets, often unsanitary, where a largelyKiety..01-food' and- clothini/ aegis could be purchased after considerable bargaining between the seller and the buyer. During our stay in Morocco the more daring students went camel riding. By the termination of our stay in Morocco, we had become accustomed to seeing the people dressed in long robes and the women with veils over their faces. Perhaps one could conclude that the students enjoyed Morocco because its tilestyle was very primitive and totally dif- ferent from that lifestyle found in Southern Spain. It was back to Spain for the last two idays before retur- ming home again. First we went donkey riding up in the mountains near a small village called Tolox. Frightened and excited at the sane time, everyone was given a donkey. Of course during the journey a few students fell off. However. there were no- injuries because the donkeys walked moderately slow and in some cases too slow. When everyone finally arrived back to the original starting point, many had sore muscles which ached for the next few day. A dinner was held at a small inn before returning to Hotel Angela. That evening we went to a barbecue at a small place called Rio Grande situated up in the mountains. Here a full course dinner along with an unlimited supply of wine was supplied during the dinner hour. This was followed by a dance. The last day was left free for the students. Mr. Mann along with some of the students went to Granada where they visited a lace factory, the Sierra Nevada and the Alhambra. However Mrs. Mann and the remainder of the students spent the day doing some last minute shopping in a quaint little mountain allege called Mites. We spent our last night in Spain at an American style discotheque before returning home. While leaving Hotel Angela I am sure that many of the students wished that the trip was only beginning rather than ending. It was back to Malaga airport and then via Gander, Newfoundland We arrived in Toronto. Although we are at home again. each of us will retain many memories of this trip in the years to come. Special thanks to our supervisors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mann. for making our 1976 Spain-Morocca trip a very enjoyable, educational and worthwhile experience for everyone.

Tim Jewson moved that the money be given and Paul Robinson seconded the motion. The Curling Club asked for 540 to cover costs of tran- sportation to London and entry fees to the bonspeil.

One particular letter caught my eye kr its subject content, but due to its anonymity I cannot print it. It seems that no matter how often, or how emphatically I stress the importance of signing letters, individuals seem unwilling to stand behind their ideas, and be credited or criticized openly. Also, many of these students who do write letters addressed to me write under such pseudonyms as . "frustrated student". "a student" and "deprived athlete", and then tend to believe that they. and they alone are exceptions to this rule. You must remember that Annie will accept letters with fictitious names, and print them. but I will not. People often don't sign their names to their tetters because they are afraid of retribution from their school, their frieblis hnd their, peers, but if • their complaint is reasonable it won't warrant the fear of such reactions. Just ask Annie! In the past ten years, the "dating game" has un- dergone serious and numerous changes. One of the greatest changes I think, is the way the teenagers feel about going Dutch on dates or even in some cases having the girls pay. Although many older people and some teenagers feel this is not right and that the males should pay any expenses encountered on a date, I feel that this is not necessary. Since there are just as many young girls with jobs now as there are boys._ why shouldn't the girls share in paying for their night out if they want to. Also. there are many girls that go out with boys that are going to college and university and they cannot afford to paY for a show, or whatever. In these cases. I. feel that it is the girls duty as a partner to help pay. I think that parents have the greatest complaints against this and to me it really isn't any of their business. If the two people concerned decide between them that they should share expenses, then why not. Being active doesn't have to be a memory. pasvaparlion Futness.ln you: hears yen Maur if% tight. However, there is one point en this subject I disagree with and that is that couples should not split costs on their first or second date but ,in- stead wait until they *mow each other well and can really decide on it together. If you and your partner do decide to go Dutch. enjoy it, because you can go ex- pensively without putting someone iodebt. When one has to sign his or her name to his opinions'and remarks he tends to give more thought- to what be writes. he, is not quite SO vicious in his accusations and is sure that what he says is what he means. In my opinion. a person who won't sign his/ her name to his letter is just afraid and un- prepared to stand up for his opinions. The existence of a paper such as the "Chronicle" depends upon readers' letters and opinions, but it cannot become a voice for faceless complainers. I heartily en-. courage readers to write letters to the editor ex- pressing their opinions, The only stipulation is that yoti must be prepared to stand up for your views, and allow me to print your letter with your name underneath it. In the future. I wish to see the practice of all tetters to. the editor signed and pseudonyms abolished. Remember that the only way to get your opinion printed is to inchide your name. 0$11114140610111eMINVII/Wit Enjoy the enchanted island atmosphere. tun and South Seas Magic at the AKU T11(1 iriird right on the WorId's Most Famous Beach DAYTONA BEACH itootattOMMIllatitimo A COMPLETE FLORIDA RESORT 132 Oceanfront motel rooms and ethc encres—afi with prwate balcony. air-conthrtomng color TV Two heated pools shuffleboard game room riaygro4.07.1.OO feet sayko beach T •, Restuu, Tri -'s Sh,w B.
