again, this Near, treating th
Senior students to a morning o
comedy aeting
'Hexagon" is a travellin
• dramatic group of three girl
and twe men, sponsored by th
it National Arts Centre in .Ot
tawa. This, andanother simile
group perform before seconder
schools in -Ontario.* - ' '
This
Ontario.-
This year they, had' a con
. tinuous program consisting of
wide variety of small Canadia
, skitsthat led into one another
These skits were chosen from
books of Canadian Indian and
Eskimo folklore, 'arid variou
legends of our native land.
Their basic, simple, yet im
pressive set, was easily changed
A by the addition and subtraction
of various boxes and pieces o
cloth. They made effective use
of lighting and for the mos
part, the only costume .change
involved a mask.
The show ' moved quickly
and .the five performers were
�► busywalking tight ropes
. juggling and riding unicycles.
`The audience, to the delight
of moist students and teachers,
was also involved in the antics
of the actors!
Grade Eleven students have
just • finished studying
Canadian , Folklore. This
refreshed their memories before
the exam.
During a short question -and
answer period following the
performance,, we learned more
' about the group. They were
divided on the question of
whether it was easier to act
dramaticall'y or as a comic.
Each of them, developed their
individual clown character.
This same afternoon (Wed-
nesday, November 22) the
group sponsored a work -shop
for the members of the Drama
Club.
Last Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday; December 4,, 5, 6,
the Students', , Council -offered
their first noon -hour movie
• "Cactus Flower". This feature
was shown over the three noon
hours with one admission price
of 50 cents. which covered all
three days.' Therresponse• was
good, and thus in the future we
may be able to offer more of
• these movies to the students.
This weekend is 'the Basketa,

Oxfam Walk, for example, then
will play basketball in intervals
from Saturday noon to Sunday
• at noon. There ` are ap-
proximately '100 students par-
ticipating in this all night
event.
The Athletic Committee will
give, the money that. is raised to
the Students' Council, who sup-
port athletic clubs at G.D.C.I.
with aver $2,000 annually.
Please sponsor a student.
The staff of our school
newspaper "The Norseman" is
busy preparing the next issue.
We are trying this year to make
the paper more ,personalized,
thus appealing to almost
everyone within the school. In
this way, we hope the students
and teachers will take interest
in the various activities and
issues within the walls of tine
school to which at the moment
• they seem oblivious.
Did you notice "The Night
Before Christmas" float in the
town's Santa Claus Parade?
That was our own Spirit Com-
mittee, who have added spice
to school thisear. These
students deserve credit for their
enthusiasm and work this term.

About seven thousand On-
tario secondary school, students
are manipulating millions of
dollars these days as "direc-
tors" of business organizations
in the fourth "Business Game",
sponsored by the Institute of
.Chartered Accountants of On-
tario and International 'Corn-
puters of -Canada Limited.
The students represent a
thousand teams from some two
hundred schools in eighty
towns and cities throughout the
province and will play a num-
ber of elimination rounds of the
Game, leading up to the final to
be held in Toronto in the late
spring, when one of the teams
will win the laurels as the most
astute managers and financiers.
Three Huron County schools
I students get first-hand experience
are involved including
Ooderich District Collegiate In-
stitute with teacher Gerald
Paulin in charge and . R.L.
McDonald accountant, as ad-
visor.
If the growth in popularity of
the "Business Game" isany in-
dication, the Canadian
business community should not
lack for managerial talent in'
the years to come. From a
modest start some four years
ago with fifty students from
Metro Toronto schools par-
ticipating, when the Institute
introduced the"Business
Game", it's popularity among
second secondary school
students has become so great
that the Institt}te. is reluctant to
even predict the possible future
participation. One of `the
features of the Gape is that ,
° ,each group of students is •
provided with the services of a
Chartered Accountant who ser-
ves as their business 'adviser.
'Phis year, some one hundred
C.A,'s have volunteered to
donate. their time to help the
students and teachers in this
way.
The "Business Game" in-
volves the participating
students in the setting -up,
financing and operation of ;a
manufacturing company which
goes into the market place and
competes with others in a
simulated business atmosphere.
Some may fail while others
make siieable profits.
