As parent chaperones of the 88 students on the trip to Windsor last week, we would like to comment You may remember that as parent chaperones iast year we were impresse with the students who par- ticipated in the music ex- change with Bay City, Michigan. This year we were equally, if not more im- pressed with the deportment and attitude of the students in the music program at GDCI. In the four days we spent with the students, we do not know of any student who did not conduct herself or himself properly. During the time in Windsor, many of the parents who were billeting our studentscame to us to tell us how much they were en ging our stnriants. Many also came and commented favourably on the students' appearance while they were performing. (This is, of course, a thank you to the Goderich Music Booster Club and also to the students who have been working hard to supply attractive uniforms for all the bands and the choir). And we must admit that all of them looked very smart andprofessional, We were taken on two tours through the Chrysler Plant and it was quite a feather in our caps when they commented that our groups were the best high school groups they had ever taken on our tour through the plant! Both our bus drivers, one of whom travelled with us last year, also stated that they would like to travel with us again next year on our music exchange. Quite a compliment! Musically, the three concerts were excellent and played to capacity crowds. All received standing ovations. We would him to especially mention the Choir, who performed especially well and to mention Eleanor and Warren Rottman of the English Department, who work with the. Choir in their "spare time". Warren also acted as Master of ..cap" "close e=h w w and of course was moat enjoyable.
