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

Silver Creek as it winds its way

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.

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'

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. Although
the number of parents attending
was greater than that of the
teachers, they were also poorly
