For many of us it was our: `first train ride and a part of the: trip we enjoyed very much, even if: it did'seem like a long way from .Toronto to Ottawa. There were so many education- al experiences onour trip, that we wonder now how we managed to go so many places and see so many interesting items in our short visit. We had an excellent view of the city of Toronto from the top of the Toronto Dominion Centre. While in Ottawa we were met by our M.P. R.E. Mc •- Kinley and enjoyed a memor- able visit to our country's parlia- ment buildings. What a beautiful National Arts Centre we have in Ottawa. The War Museum brought many aspects of history alive.before our eyes. A two hour bus trip of the city showed us how beautiful our capital is. Every student was thrilled with the Museum of Science and Tech. nology and there was something for every. student at the Museum of Natural Sciences and Man. Our visit to the Aeronautical Museum showed the history of aviation. Finally, I am sure all students felt our accomodations at the Chateau Laurier and our refresh- ing swim in the pool made the trip complete. We returned late Thursday night to the school --a very tired but happy, and better informed group of students. What an enjoyable and educational exp- erience we had!
