last Saturday. In the semi-finals
the girls lost to Harrow by
three points -22-19. They came
from .behind to get within two
points of the opposition, but
they didn't quite manage to
catch• up. The senior boys drop-
ped their game to West Elgin
40-21. They played a spirited
game until the last, and you
can be sure that every point
in that lead was won the hard
.way. Even though we did not
bring., --home any champion-
ship9, the teams' were. a credit
to Seaforth—small school or
not. The support from the spec-
tators and cheerleaders was
tremendous. As Mr. Plumsteel
put it: "I am sure that every-
one at WOSSA must have
known that Seaforth w a s
around.
I thought that you inight ,be
interested in the other scores
at WOSSA. In the. other senior

Hydro News — the monthly
magazine of the Ontario Hydro
Electric Power Commission—in
a recent issue recalled thefact
that Seaforth had recently ob-
served the 50th anniversary of
=the corning of Hydro to Sea -
forth.
The Hydro News story fol-
lows:
"Fifty years have gone by
since Seaforth first welcomed
Hydro power from Niagara
Falls.
"The event caused The Hur-
on Expositor to remark that
the light being furnished -was
`nice, clear and. steady'.. What
particularly interested • -those
concerned was the fact that en-
ergy, which originated over a
hundred miles away, had been
transported on a thin •copper
wire. The story went on to say:
'Next to the telephone and the
gramophone, it is one of the
most wonderful achievements
of modern skill and ingenuity.'
"To mark 50 years of Hydro
the Seaforth PUC recently held
open house and unveiled a
bronze plaque mounted in the
Town Hall. It bears the words:
'Fifty years of Hydro -Electric
service in Seaforth, erected in
commenroration by the , Public
Utility Commission. It contains
the names of the present -com-
missioners and those of 50 years
ago. •
"Only surviving member of
the -town council which brought
Hydro to Seaforth is Dr. F.
Harburn, 84, who recalls talk-
ing to Sir Adam Beck on two
occasions. Reminiscing during
a short program which follow-
ed the anniversary dinner, Dr.
llarburn recalled the doubts
which existed during the early
years. 'They would tell us that
power would never get here—
it would be worn out before it
got to Kitchener, Others warn -
Barber: "Your hair is turning
a little greY, sir."
Customer: "I'm not surpris-
ed. Can't you work a little fast-
er?"
Bride: "The two things I
cook best arc meat loaf and
apple dumpling."
Groom:. "Well, which one is
772. this?"
TOOL
PRICES
BLASTED
ed us bunging, power from
Niagara would kill all bird life
in the country.'
"The soundness of Seaforth's
early decision to join the Hy
dro movement is borne out by
the records. In 1911, power
costs at Seaforth averaged 8.6c
per kwh. Today the average
cost per kwh. for residentia
customers is, 1.14c. The PUG'
average monthly peak ros
from 84 kilowatts in 1911 t
1845 kilowatts in 1961. In th
same period, the number of cus
tomers rose from 292 to 885.'

While I'm still on the sub-
ject of basketball, I'd better
mention a special treat for to-
morrow, sponsored by the girls'
athletic—a basketball game be -
used. For you 'mystified males,
that means: (a) only three
bounces allowed .jn dribbling;
(b) each player plays only two-
thirds; of the floor; (c) guards
are not allowed to score; and
(d) you are not allowed to kill
your opponent.

Today is the day of the math
contest, which has already been
described. A group of hopeful
students from Grades 11, 12
and 13. wrote this contest dur-
ing the first three periods Wed-
nesday. morning. Since this is a
multiple choice test, a candi-
date may either work out the
questions and get the wrong
answer, or take a wild guess
at it and get the wrong answer.
Geniuses combine both and
come up with the right answer.
Since there is a penalty for
wrong answers, it is quite pos-
sible to end up with a negative
mark. That has never happen-
ed at Seaforth. Perhaps the
safest thing to do is to put
one's name on the answer sheet
and leave it -blank, thus get -
.ng '0'.
TO ATTEND SESSIONS
Nineteen persons from this
area will be travelling to Wiar-
ton this .weekend to attend the
semi-annual circuit assembly of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
7/143 Weekel
Austen's novel, "Pride and Pre-
judice." This year the group
will have only have two more
meetings, but perhaps next
year the seminar will become,
if there is enough interest, a
regular part of our extra -cur-
ricular l activities.

I promised you that you
would hear more about.. the
Band's trip to Toronto. Here
are Mary Scott's impressions of
the outing:
Six of the girls` from the
Seaforth District High School
Trumpet Band had the honor of
attending the , Ontario Plow-
man's Convention in Toronto
on February 20.
We left Seaforth on Tuesday
morning a little behind sche-
dule, arriving at the King Ed-
ward - Sheraton Hotel about
11:30 a.m. Our band members
led the Huron delegation into
the directors'• meeting in the.
morning, and early in the af-
ternoon we paraded the head
table guests into the banquet
hall. Thanks to Mrs.- McGav4in,
we were able to go shopping
after the banquet for an hour
or so. We left Toronto around
5;00 p.m. and stopped at the
Steak House in Kitchener for a
delicious supper on our way
back to Seaforth.
The band members who
made the trip consisted of two
majorettes, Amy Stewart and
Roba Doig; two flagbearers,
Donna Gordon and Eileen
O'Rourke; two drummers, Carol
Carter and myself; and our
band .leader George Hildebrand.
(Heiman). We were accompan-
ied <by our principal, Mr. L. P.
Plumsteel.
