Being from a rurarea. where the range of . individ- uals is somewhat limited, I was, putting. it mildly, astounded at some of the people I. save on a trip to To- ronto. As I walked the streets I often would pig>people sporting hair dyed'purple or yellow or even a bright orange, or dressed in clothes that may, quite readily, have been rejects from the Sally Anne. I find it difficult to fathom the reasons for dressing in such a Manner but some people would react and simply call them crazy or weird. However I think that the punkies may dress in such a way because they are retaliating in their own way. Retaliating against what? Possibly they didn't feel that they were being treated as individuals and this is quite realistic in the mass society we have today. So often we tend to become statistics and not people. From personal experience I know, because on college forms you are often requested to refer to yourself asecyour assigned number. How can you feel you are an individual when to others you're just a bunch of digits? Dressing flamboyantly is also, in many cases, a cry for help. If you started dressing grubbily and not taking care of yourself, friends would ask, "What's wrong?" In cities, or anywhere for that matter, newcomers often don't have a friend to turn to so odd clothing is a visual. plea for help. As for the individual who will not or cannot conform to the majority, an end`:to his individuality is usually the result. An classic example would be,thetreatment of the northernnatives in Canada.

History trip to Washington So you wt to know about When Saturday finally Washingtott� . Washington came, the day for leaving, D.C.?? Wehask me. I'could I'm not sure if I was glad or wishing ,for another day in the U.S. capital city. Despite the almost continuous rain while we, were .there, (lr rather because of the rain, trees were in full leaf and flgwers were in bright pro- fusion. • Washington had so, much more to offer I'm sure we only saw half of what e was in the,historic city. e In the end, I know that we tell you 7a bit along with 40 others . dor history stu- dents >�r our school and Mr.Robe°IVIr. Il pnter and his wife.. These.:har% , oU1s braved the grey morning Wed= nesday, April 29, tQ '41imb aboard the chartered lis m front of dear old Madill and bid a yawnful goodbye to, real Canada.. Hours later crossed the border at F( Erie — Buffalo with, t necessary rituals. The most difficult part w yet to come, for • the re- maining nine hours were spent rolling through the U.S. to our destination near Washington. The long driving spell was broken by word games, fantastic leafy landscape and rugged ridges. With cheers we at last pulled up to Quality Inn at 8:30 p.m. in Fairfax, a city which is a neighbor to Washington. The next two days were so packed with sightseeing, TWA and eat -and -run situa- tions that •it seemed im- possible to sort out the acti- vities consecutively. The high points remain, for most people: the White Nouse visit, the afternoon at the Smithsonian Institute (con- taining many of the first structures in aerial t. pioneering) or the Ford Theatre production on fri- day night. However approximately half the students, 'by some fortunate timing and next to impossible luck, were able to see, I repeat, see the future King of England, Prince Charles. This was much more than anyone could have asked for, yet it was really that m, ch -heard - about royal personage whom we saw in the gorgeous Washington Cathedral during a service, together with the Archbishop of Canterbury. I'd like to mention once again the exciting, energetic performance of 'I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road", at the Ford Theatre. The strongly dra- matic performance by ac- tess Louisa Flannigan pro- trayed her struggle to be a strong, independent woman despite society norms, de- spair and her uncooperative manager. The students came away from the Ford Theatre high on empathy because the musical -comedy had some- how touched most of us with its realistic expression of friendship and humanity. succeeded in fulfilling the educational purpose , of the excursion and our scope con- , siderably expanded in being exposed oto olrr. neighboring Americans. Of course only a ;sketchy outline is given here Of our activities. We have drought ' home 'many memories and interpreta tions of this bus trip, which will be filed away in our minds, misty and altered for the future. It will never happen again. Lastly, we'd like to thank once again our chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Roberts, for their time, con- cern and kindness which made the Washington trip possible. Mr. Ritter also was fundamental in the success of our trip as well as the pat- rons to the bake sale held long sago, and the walk-a- thon sponsors. Thank you all.

CRY, OF THE LOON The sun has set, we see the moon and into the night comes the song of a loon. Lonely and piercing, in- creasing the dark speaking of misery as it rings clear and stark. The girl in the garden heard the sad song; for a happiness unspoken she felt her heart long. But the song in her heart was the song of the bird and the sadness she felt were the sad notes she heard. She leaned on a tall tree, gazed up to thesky. and found herself ques- tioning, wondering whyr He'd meant so much to her, this man in her life but for such a short moment, she'd been his wife. He'd loved her and held her and sung in her ear he'd said all those sweet things she'd always hold. dear. He'd told her he loved her and always would. He'd promised to care for her as long as he could. But the time had been so short and now it was done he'd left her in darkness; he'd taken her sun. Now she stood in the garden by the tree straight and tall and listened, so sadly, to the mournful loon's call. Alice Vander klippe 13B The Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind National.
