Yes... We did remember
Remembrance Day --a epee-
ial time to forget ourselves' .and
to give earnest thought to those
who fought and died to save.
their country, a time to realize
our gratitude for the fantastic
feats which these heroes ac-
cornplished, a time for us.and
upcoming generations to recog-
nize the futility of warfare and
bloodshed and to determine to
build a world in which recur-
rences of this form of death and
suffering will not take place.
There is no doubt about it.
Remembrance Day is a serious
occasion and, in the past we
have all attended services in.
our schools which have very .ef -
fectively impressed on us the..
grave realizations connected
with this event.
However, Monday morning's
assembly showed us a new ap-
proach to a Remembrance Day .

forceful and explicit Its we have
been acquainted with in previ-
ous years.

Laughlin, Patrick Street: A
family gathering was held on
Sunday to celebrate Mrs. Mc-
Laughlin's birthday. •
Mr. Jones and a group of
about twenty students presented
a series of readings, sights and
sounds, reminiscent of the two
world wars, effectively inter-
mixed to jolt into our minds
the realities of an era of which
we were not a part.
The readings were effective-
soon; Hardy's "The Man He
Killed" and a selection from
the novel : " Quiet on the
Western Front". Brian Miler
recited an extremely moving
poem . "My Foe". Morin Gor-
rie's self -written "1 Did Not Go
to War" was equally effective.
The sounds and the sights
were extrernely impressive. Be-
tween the readings. scenes
from the first and second World
Wars were flashed on the screen
with such timing as to be seeln-
ingly "in beat" with the music-
al background, Having an ob-
vious connection with what we
were seeing we heard: T he
Beatles "Revolution Number 1, "
"Revolution Number 9" and,
"Goodnight"; Simon and Gar-
funckle's "Silent Night" and
"Fixin' to Die" from Country
Joe and the Fish. Adding even
more feeling to the " s i g h t s
through sound", we heard the
broadcast of the CBC news on
November 3, 1969, dealing with
the Vietnainese. War, and Ed-
ward R. Murrow's "Highlights
and Personalities of World War
II ". Theservice ,concluded
with the Lord's Prayer.
Perhaps some people might
frown on such a modernistic
approach to a Remembrance
Day service, but most of th e
students it' attendance would
;confirm that it was definitely
no less effective nor meaning-
ful than the traditional form.
Most of us met frankly and. hon-
�estly with the"realization men-
tioned at the beginning of this
