BRYANS) There is a new character at Sea - forth High this week. His name is Vergil, and he has made his ac- quaintance through the mail. Ap- parently every girl in Grade 13 re- ceived one of. Vergil's unusual let- ters. The story began last year when a request was sent to the school for a list of the names, with other information, of the Grade 12 stu- dents. This person claimed he was an ex -student wishing to give a graduation gift to some student. (Suspect some connection.) .. Vergil's two-page letter describes a certain type of girl he wishes "to locate" through "correspondence." Qualifications found throughout the letter were: 1. Christian girl -that does not smoke or drink. 2. Canadian girl -over 5' 7" tall, over 140 lbs. in weight, between 16 and 23 years of age, and of a husky build. 3. Single and not going steady. "Mail a full view picture or give a description including hip, waist, bust measure. height, weight, age, nationality, color of eyes and hair" (Very personal for a complete stranger!). What is Vergil's angle? Refer to this week's "Dragnet." F RMERS! You are invited to try Curling Friday Afternoon at 2 p.m. There is no obligation, and instruction will be available. Come out and try the game. SEAFORTH CURLING CLUB Then a duet, "Now is the Hour," was sung by Faye Ross and Joy Montgomery, accompanied again by Margaret Boyd.

Students' Council There was some debate regard- ing the orchestra for next year's formal. The general opinion is that Seaforth High has the best At - Home in the county. It has always been the highlight of the commun- ity's social events; therefore, the "At Home" must fulfll this good reputation. Mr. Plumsteel pointed out that this is the one dance of the year that must appeal to the adults and not the teenagers. All difficulties from the previous year have been cleared up concerning the orch- estra. A motion made by R. Ennis and seconded by R. Watson, brought a unanimous vote to have Lionel Thornton's orchestra for the "At Home" next year. $ $ Assembly Entertainment Assembly entertainment was pro- vided .this week by Grade 12-A.
