These. are Iwo companies which are involved in the home build- ing industry. The first plant toured was Halliday Homes which makes prefabricated homes and cot- tages. ;The boyswere split up. into groups and each group was given a guide who explained every aspect of the industry. All the major components of the hordes are assembled and shipped but from the one plant. It was a remarkable experience watching the construction of their house parts, complete with doors, _windows and even siding, come off the assembly line. After. lunch the students were taken to Nicholsons which is in- volved in making accessories Students tak lounge; kee BY SHEILA CRRWSON 13 B At last the Student Lounge 14 ready for use, The carpet is .down, the drapes -are hung and thanks to some of the stu- dents, the ,morn is painted. All the furniture is in •except for a couch, a .snatching chair for homes, such as windows, pre -hung doors, stairs and cup- boards, Once again the boys were split into groups and given a guided tour by guides w ho were willing to describe every operation and answer questions. This tour also proved interest- ing and helped the students to understand some of the aspects of their •courses that apply to - modern homes.. The day was a complete success and enjoyed by all and . special thanks should go to Mr. Beard-, and Mr.. Hornic who made this trip possible. Our congratulations to all 1969 Graduates and our best • wishes for .success and happiness in . your chosen :career. Planning a Dinner for family or friends in celebration of the wonderful day?

There are five card tables --3 round and 2 square with comfortable stacking chairs for those who play cards. We have, now, the couch, .matching chair and two swivel chairs. There -are about thirty stacking chairs al" together. Some coffee tables, in black iron, are in the room also. The shop classes have com- pleted the shelves and the bill- board on the end walls. A hi- fi has been placed In the room for a little more relaxation. A House Committee has been set up as a "go-between" the administration, janitors and students. The general comment is that the lounge is "neat", --even better than the staff room! ! The total cost of the lounge, exclud- ing odds and ends which are not quite finished, is about $3200. A clock is one thing needed, and there has been a suggestion that the Grade 13 Grads donate one while the Grade 12 Grads donate a picture, or something suitable. Now that it is finished --to the surprise of many including my- self --I hope everyone will find it a pleasant alternative to the monotony of school work. In conclusion, I would like to thank everyone involved who helped 'make this project a suc- cess. ,School • formal on May 9th. Have you asked, her yet? Get a move on! The formal is only 16 days away.

After winning com- petitions in the local area, the members entered their play in the provincial contest. TI ey were successful enough to *rake . the finals in Guelph; however, they did not place in that com- petition. The'play was directed by Mrs. Smith. The stage mana- ger was Janet Whitehead, and the cast, consisted of Carol Mil- ler, the daughter; Susan Mc- Kague, the mother; Janet Dick- ison, the neighbour; and Ken Strauss, the stranger. The production, a . fantasy, is staged 1000 years ago in a • small English cottage. It is the day before the daughter is . to marry the man of her 4reams and she is filed with the bliss of future plans. . Carol Miller plays a very convincing 'role. However, her miraculous plans are somewhat shattered with the.arrival of their nosy neighbor, played. by J e t Whitehead.. She, who has a rather unfortunate marriage, is successful in disallusioning Carol's dreams: When the neigh- bour and the mother, played by Susan McKague, leave the room, Carol resigns herself to tears as she ponders about what lids in store for her. However, tier tears are soon dried with the surprising arrival of a somewhat flippant young man played by Ken Strauss. He ' is soon to ' re- store the girl's fears, by rebuild- ing her previously shattered dreams. The play ends in an air of mystery as we try to decide just who this young man really is. The girl has the feeling that she has met him before and has known him all her life. When he departs he states that he wilt Susanne McDonald and Anne Davidson see her very soon.. Some of the audience be- lieved the girl had been dream- ing for a few minutes and the young man waser future hus- band. I rather favour one of the opinions that I heird, that the young man was the son she would have some day. No matter how you interpret the ending, there is no doubt about it, the play was an ex- cellent feature of amateur act- ing and were proud to have these young talents in our school.
