BAKE SALE The Grade 13 students held a bake sale on Thursday to help raise money fo'r their graduation banquet. Sales were reported as being successful. Tickets were sold and a priie of a cake went to the winner, Tom Lee. - 0-0-0 SNOW SCULPTURING This contest was open to all stu- dents and was also a requirement for those entering the Snow Queen and King Contest. Much talent and enthusiasm was dis- played as these sculptures were built, Some of these included a Snoopy dog, a bear, a dice, a horse and a frog. Unfortunately, some people decided to smash some of these sculptures, so this contest is still in question of being held. 0-0-0 TOBOGGAN RACES Our Winter Carnival ended with toboggan races which were open to all the homeroom classes who pulled their homeroom teacher or a substitute. Thursday proved to be• an excellent day as classes lined up in two heats and pulled their respective teachers who were protected with hel ets. The path was long,the snow was deep and the hills were steep. But, nevertheless, in the first heat, 13A won first place, pulling their . homeroom teacher, Mr. Wareham, who was all in one piece as they pulled him across the finish line. In the second heat, 12K woh first place pulling Miss Murray. These two winning but exhausted teams ran again. Since chemistry is a heavier sub- ject than Home Economics, Miss Murray won over Mr. Wareham, giving 12K first place overall in the race. 0—OTO Anyone wishing to contribute a • short story, a poem, a news ar- ticle or an editorial, please con- tact one of the editors, Sandra Currie or Cecil de Boer, or leave it in Room 217 (Mr. Damsma's room).

Our congratulations from the School Page is extended to these people and also to the other contestants. Pleasant Harvey Fenster had cQmrrtted. murder. His wife, Beryl, .was dead and buried. It seemed 'like the perfect crime. The police did not suspect him and 1114 OW blam- ed him. Poor old Harvey. An ac, cident. And now he was all alone. Plain and simple. khat was the kind of murder it had been, and why it had succeeded. There was one problem, however. Harvey Fenster dreamed. The dream began with the murder. It was so clear, so detail- ed, so accurate, that it was just tike committing the crime all aver again; once had been enough. "Harvey, I've just got to have a new washing machine." It was a whine of a complaint, like every- thing else she said. He let his newspaper fall to his lap and glanced up at his wife. She was standing there, wringing her hands as usual; her pale face was sad, wisps of grey hair fell over the wrinkles in her forehead. Scarcely forty and already she looked like an old woman. "What's the matter with the washing machine?" he barked back at her. "Take a look at it, will you Har- vey? I got another shock from it today. Honestly, I'm going to be electrocuted for sure one of these days," she pleaded. He stumbled unwillingly down the worn steps to the basement. The washing machine loomed out of the dim light, high and huge like an old Model T. Obviously Beryl had not taken proper care of it for the surface was chipped and scraped. He"squatted down to take a preliminary look and saw *the trouble right away. The wire was quite worn, just where it con- nected under the machine to the motor. What should he' do? Re- place the cord? No, some elec- tricians' tape should do the job. He rummaged through his tool chest. No tape. Then he remem- bered he had asked for some at the hardware store but refused to buy it when the clerk informed him that the skimpy roll cost seventy-five cents. He wondered now if it was worth even seventy- five cents to event Beryl from being electrocuted. It was then he knew the answer to that powerful question. She was only an expense. ,If he div- orced her, there . would be ali- mony to pay. He was tired -of the nagging and the complaining; "Fix this, buy me that, this is too old, ,that is too worn out ! " He wanted silence, blessed silence. The preparations for- the mur- , der were–simple and straight for- ward. Harvey unplugged the ma- chine so that he could work with the wire in safety. He then wedg- ed the wire under the rim in such a way that it touched the washer. He plugged, in the cord and dous- ed water on the concrete floor. After that, the only problem re- maining was getting her down- stairs to try the machine. She was difficult as usual. ; $ "I think I've fixed it, and I want you to try it! ", he called up. "Well, you try it, dear. I hadn't planned on doing any more wash- ing today ..." "Try.it ! If it doesn't work right, A sample of contestants in the leg contest. then l'U think about replacing it.,' promise was Vague but it lured her. She came .elQp obediently down the stairs. "How did everything get so wet?" she asked. "I was juSt testing," he assured her. She approached the machine gingerly, swishing through the water. She bent over the weapon to flick on the switch, Then it hap- pened. He watched in agony of suspense. She gripped' the rite convulsively. Shudders and spasms shook her entire body. "Let go! ... Let go of the wash- er! ... Forgive me Beryl, forgive me ..." A faint ringing of bells could be heard in the distance. Maybe it's not too late ... Maybe if I pull her from it quickly .. . Lieutenant Joe Godney looked down at the twisted, contorted body. Then he stooped to 'untang- le it.

The TD RSD is 'a bank deposit. That's the big differ- ence. Its high -yielding interest rate is adjusted twice yearly to match that of the TD five-year Certificate of Deposit. And you never have to worry about fluctuations in the market value of stocks and bonds as you would with some other R.R.S.P.'s. Finally, there's no interest penalty for deregistering your TD RSD at any time. As with all R.R.S.P.'s, eligible annual contributions are deductible from your current taxable income — up to $4,000 in some cases. So depending on your circumstances, the 1974 income tax you defer can be substantial. The money you put into aTD RSD works hard to earn more money for you. For example, if you start your TD RSD at age 35 and contribute $1,500 at the beginning di each year, you'll have put in $45,000 by the time you're 65. Assuming a conservative rate of return over the 30 years of 7%% per annum, compounded semi-annually, your savings will have grown to $171,277! Your TD Manager is the person to ask about a TD Retire- ment Savings Deposit. You'll get all the facts, and you'll be pleased to know that you can start for as little as -$250 with contributions of $100 or more whenever you wish. But hurry, March 1st, 1975 is the deadline for the 1974 tax year. 1DRSi) ITS TIME IS NOW. T0R0NT0 DOMINION the bank where people make the difference • 0 v 0
