I do,:_nc.ilt know if they think that they are not Veil i come Or what t is 'that keeps them from coming, (for the At Home is advertised, inviting anyone and everyone 'to come); but few ever attend. I think that in, a school of over four hundred students there should have been a better turn-out of the "older generation". "Also concerning the form- al, I would like to say a few words about the decoratiort and what happens to them after: the night of the formal. The dedor, adore are taken down the next day and then are either thrown out or burned. They are there for the one evening and that is it! I think something should be done to prevent this waste of good work. All the time spent preparing the murals, flowers, the bridge, etc. is gone, des- troyed in a matter of a few minutes. I have spoken to other students who also feelathis way. _ _ "In closing, I wish to ex- tend my thanks to everyone Who helped in the preparations for the At Home.

Sometimes we, as students want to feel that someone cares enough about us to punish us," Brenda Dietz is critical of Silver Creek as it winds its way through Lions Park and proposes changes which she suggests • would add to the benefits of the .• Park. "Haire you taken notice to the conditions of the river that is running through our Lions Park? A green scurry covers stagnant water which produces a disagree- able odour. Bugs and flies which breed near the river bother plc- Meets and hordes of mosquitoes molest night-swimmers. The river itself is dangerous to child- ren who may fall in. A simple solution to better, • these conditions could be to re- duce the river to a trickle of water which would flow through a sunkensrock garden. Rocks of all sizes could be arranged in delightful patterns and surrounded with flowers, ,A fountain with coloured lights would add a fin- ishing touch if set in the midst of the garden. • There would be several ad- vantages to a solution of this sort. For example there would be a fragrance from the flowers instead of stagnant odours and children would be safer,. The breeding of flies and mosquitoes would decrease making picnicing and swimming more enjoyable. The gardens would attract visit- ors and the Lions Park would gain. business. Think of the results! In the initial issue the School At Home was the subject of editorial comment by the , editor. "This year's At Home was in my opinion a credit to our school. The Student's Council and the Decorating Committee deserve much thanks from every-, one. Their long hours a d bard work were well spent, as those present at the formal will verify. The decorations were- salted to the theme, "Gone With The Wind". The presentation of roses to the nominees, princess, (Sharon Talbot) and queen, (Cynthia Newnham), and the crowning of" the queen were con7 ducted with the dignity approp- riate to the occasion. "The formal was well at- tended. I w,ae'very pleased to see that so many of our own' students were present, and not only from the senior grades but from grades nine and ten as '. well. Also attending were for- mer graduates and some parents. I was however, disappointed to see that only two memberS of our school's staff and Mr, Plum- steel were present at the dance. Why did the other teachers not attend? It seems a shame that after all the time and effort the students put forth, that the members of 'the staff do not even support the dance.

Additional assess ment under Section 53 resulted in increased taxes of $286. As at December 31st, 1968 the public school and high school boards had not been paid their share of these additional taxes as required by the Assessment Act.
