On'e student in Grade 9 received an
invitation to a patty with R.S.V.P.
written very distinctly on the bottom
of the page. These letters immediately
created a disturbance and one girl
thought that it was the club’s secret
name, another thought that it was the
girl’s initials. To clear up the diffi
culty I would like to say that R.S.V.P.
means “Repondez, s’il vous plait” in
French but in English it would mean
“Please send a reply.” This is an ac
cepted English abbbreviation and is
commonly used so next time, girls,
you might inquire from Miss McGreg
or as to what French abbreviations
mean.
There are three entrances to the
new school which are John St., Carl
ing Terrace, and Victoria. Connecting
John with the school was a board
walk placed over the mud, and from
Carling Terrace there was a cement
walk part way but from Victoria St.
there was just a. mud entrance. The
board-walk has been moved from
John St. entrance to cover up the
muddy walk at Carling Terrace and
the students are requested to use the
Carling Terrace walk and are guaran
teed to have no mud to walk through.
Even though students are happy to
see snow melting and green spots ap
pearing they are saddened by the
thought that spring brings exams also.
Exams start March 31st and continue
through to April 7.
Some teachers are wondering just
why students paid a dollar for locks
for their lockers. It certainly wasn’t
for privacy because a good percentage
of the students either leave their locks
undone or leave them inside the lock
ers.

Speed Tests
by Mary Ellen Cummins
One of our Special Commercial
students, Betty Newman, tried the
Civil Service typing test, in London.
She is now successfully employed at
the R.C.A.F. Station in Clinton.
We,- too, have been trying speed
tests daily to increase our typing
rate per minute. While typing these
tests, we learn interesting facts about
the ballet, folk festivals, and the
Yukon Trail. So if you’re yearning for
learning, why not come to Room 23
and read our tests?

the past 27 years as a Presbyterian
Missionary in India. The occasion was
the annual Thankoffering meeting,
with Mrs. Jack McKnight in charge
of the Devotional period, the theme
of which was “Christ, the Hope of
the World.” Miss Marilyn Davis read
the Scripture, Mrs. A. Rintoul render
ed the solo “The Christ of the Cross,”
and Mrs. William Conron offered a

Alan Bennett, Mrs. Ross Vogan and
Mrs. A. Gibson.
The guest speaker, Miss William

for the past 27 years. She stressed.. the
new independent government is.-pat-/
