June is the student eX,hange
Period at St. 'Joseph's School,
Kingsbridge., Last year, Baine
students and adults went to Moose
Factory. This year, another'trip
has taken place.
Qn May 29,.',arly in the
morning, Z3 children and 10
adults left Kingsbridge Semi fOr
Victoriaville, Quebec. Our route
took us through Wingham, Guelph
and Toronto.
Between Guelph and Toronto we
viewed the high limestone 'ridge
called the Niagara Escarpment.
This ridge divides Western
Ontario from Central Ontario..
After passing through Oshawa,
we entered Kingston. Here we
stopped at Old Fort Henry and saw
the changing of the guard: The
Fort's mascot was a white Saanen
goat named David II.
At noon the guards ;practised
theirgundrills. Looking over the
walls, we could view the beginning
of the ThousandIslands. The
Thousand Islands are typical of
the land surface of the Frontenac
Dairy cows even here -
One of the stops on the Kingsbridge -St. "Joseph's ~School tour
involved a tour of an experimental dairy farm. Here members of the
group look over some of the'facilities.
Axis. tn'many places the road east
of Kingston had been cut through
large deposits of rock.
One of the most exciting
moments of our trip w ,s when we
crossed„ihe boundary into Quebec
at 3:55 p.m. On our way to
Montreal we crossed the Ottawa
River. We had trouble reading the
road signs as they were now in
French.
In Montreal, we saw the cross
which isbuilt on top of Mount
Royal. It ,was first put there by
Maisonneuve in gratefulness for
having 'his prayers answered
during a flood. We also saw the
site of the 1967 Expo Exhibition.
At this point everyone became
very excited because
Victoriaville was less than 100
miles away.
As our`group crossed over the
St. Lawrence, a fine view of the
countryside could be had. When
we finally arrived in
Victoriaville, we spent a while
trying to find theT-St. Gabriel
Lalement School:,The principal of
the-sctrooJy Soeur Jeanne d'Arc
greeted us. After spending a few
minutes in the school, the -sister
Came aboard the bus, and we all
headed for the reception which
had been planned by the Knights of
Columbus.
The teachers helped us find 'our
pen pals. After getting paired up,
everyone headed into the hall fora
Snack. , After the reception,
everyone got' his suitcase and
went totthe housewhere he or she
would stay for the week,
The next morning, some walked
and others went by. bus to St.
Gabriel Lalemont School. Thebus
tuok us to an, experimental farm
where new dairy techniques were
being used. •
After lunch, which we ate at our
homes, the group split in three
parts. One group went to the Rubin
clothing factory where 996
employees' produce high -style
men's suits: another went to, the
fibreglass boat building factory,
and the third to a milk processing
factory. -That night -art-he park -we---,;
played, a game of baseball., .
The next .day, Wednesday,
everyone at the school went into
he Gym to take pictures of one -of.
the teachers of the school we were
visiting. Mi -ss Lise Lambert had
won a beauty and talent contest for
the viewing area of television
pjAiiires were also'taken of the
visiting group from Ontario and
the whole staff of the school, When

On Thursday unormmpg, we
visired-the Victoriaville
,Furniture Fat -tory where
bedroom suites, dining room
suites and living room tables are
made. When our Visit there was
over, we went to the Woodworking
school, Ecole du Meuble et, du.
Bois Ouvre: `Everyone received a
miniature baseball bat and hockey
stick as a souvenir of our. visit ..
there. The little hockey sticks are
,made for Jean B elliveau who
autographs these sticks for his
fans.
411 too soon, Friday came—the
day •QLour departure. Instead of
eating our lunch at honie, we ate it`
with our new trzenus'at the sc.Dvl.
We, had another session of
picture -taking and began our
farewells. Aswe boarded the bus
for home our French friends and
we shed many tears because we
did not want to part.. -
We were on our way before
noon. On the way home instead of
crossing over the St-. Lawrence
we crossed under it through the
tunnel. , ,
Beeause it' had railed so Ruch
in Victoriaville, we - expected
there would be rain here, too, but
' there was none. ,
We arrived at the school about
midnight. Here our parents met
s4 and: took us ` hnme s we
excitedly told of+orlr experiences.
Everyonebada very ezijoyable
and informative tune and proved
that language is nota real barrier.
.to friendship if people, want td get
alongttpether. W;he In we had
trouble understanding ()fie
another,, we used the dictionary^
which many *ere carrying,
We only wish that,s-ome of our
politicans could have shared ours,
rewarding experiences and could
have seenhow succesAsful1 our trifr
was. There is no .-doubt in our .;
minds'that they would be in favour'
of arranging more such
exchanges'in the future. a„ ..
