Not having any ideas of any
own for this week (1 wan the rov-
ing reporter looking for ideas
from the students. My first vic-
tim was Don and wlhen I asked
him, he said he didn'thave any
and it would take .quite awhile
to find some, so, as he hasn't re-
turned, (I think the must atill.ibe
looking. Going across the aisle
tI heard Veronica wondering
what artist has been drawing
cartoons on her desk. In the
grade nine room no one had
mush to say: they could all give
me questions of the week but
no ideas for the rest of the
news: Up in the .grade 10 room
they were in the anidldle orf per-
iod, so not much luck there un-
less you can all understand
French. Coming pp behind Nan-
cy 1 heard her mumbling .some-
thing about hoping hewould
bring up the right colour of cor-
sage for the formal. S didn't
stay around to ask flier for any
remarks.
Question of the week: 'How
far is it to Clairmont; Margaret?
Note: We hear Angela's life
