kind of authority they can
exercise.
The Prefects, after all,
are the key group
supervising dances. They
can deal with students on
a one to one level as
equals.
It -has also been
suggested that off duty
police be hired to
supervise the dances.
".'his, in fact, was tried
before, but the off duty
policemen were not in-
terested.
Somepne has to take
responsibility „itor the
dances. The students are
the most obvious and
willing group to do this,
however because of their
ages, they cannot be
given the opportunity.
The only other solution
is to encourage teacher
attendance. Perhaps if a
system was set up
whereby each teacher
was expected to come to
only one dance during the
year, their reluctance
would not be so great.
Clearly, there are
many improvements that
need to be made con-
cerning the method of
school dance supervision.
Perhaps if the two
principle groups in-
volved, the teachers and
the Prefects, can
organize themselves
sufficiently, they will be
able to work together
amiably and keep alive
the tradition of school
dances.

A man left a party one
Saturday night to return
.to his home in London. He
felt inebriated from the
drinks he had, but before
he left, he told a friend
that the odometer on his
car read . 26962
kilometres.
"Say," said the friend,
"that's called a palin-
dromic number."
"A palin-what?"
"Palindromic numbers
read the same if they are
read from the right to the
left, or left to right. If I
reverse the digits on your
odometer, 26962 becomes
26962."
"Well, in any case that
won't happen for quite a
while. Well, so long!"
said the mail as he
staggered into his car.
One hour later, as he
was driving home, a
policeman pulled him
over near Kitchener.
Strangely enough, his
odometer had a reading
of the next. highest
palindromic number.
With this information,
see if you can figure out
how far the man had.
travelled and the reasons
why the officer stopped
him. Enough said until
