DUBLIN Dublin Continuation School We all wish a speedy recovery to Marie Bruxer who had an appendi- citis operation on Saturday. It is surprising what some people will do just to get out of some school. Mother St. David, a former pupil -of our school visited us on Monday. We are not the only ones who would like her to stay. We are very grateful to Pat Mc- Connell for giving a typewriter to us. Having another typewriter will be an encouragement to some of our more ambitious members who have already made brave attempts to master the keyboard. Grade XI's mission project is keeping them busy. They have a large collection of used ,clothing of all kinds which is 'being prepared for shipment to Europe. Besides the use these will serve, some young ladies are learning how to iron. We wonder how many more mouth organs will be bought.

The match is expected to be played in Seaforth, on Feb. 5. In .Seaforth's last five ':matches they have lost only one. Two weeks ago they were the cellar -dwelling club but since then have come along and are now threatening the second- place Sarnia team. In the W.OPH,A. bantam series last week the Seaforth bantams con- tinued their undefeated streak by drubbing the Exeter Lions 18-3. Bruce McFadden was the big gun for Seaforth by bagging five tallies while Ron Mason and Bill Roberton each got the hat trick. In the five bantam games played by Seaforth, Ron Mason has led his team to 20 goals, which is really shooting in any plan's hockey.

Although it was only Merchant's second loss, they have been both to the St. Co- lumban club, while the St. Columban has bowed only once to the Merch- ants.
