Xiy "THE OWL'S HOOT" SMITH VISITS SCHREIBER John Smith, youngest member of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Caucus, visited Schreiber last Tuesday . Recently Mr. Smith spent a holiday in the cold North by visiting a small Eskimo village on the shor es of Hudson Bay. His reference toa "town in trans ition" aptly describes the conflict which many Eskim os experience as the civilization of the white man gradually effects the people who inhabit the North. In a film shown, snow machines and dog teams were seen in operation side by side and reference was made to. the great amount of tooth decay among the Eskimos due to the recent introduction of canned "pop" while, one the other hand there is not one dentist to serve the area. lt was a great privilege to have Mr. Smith speak to our student body and we wish to thank him for a very striking presentation. EASTER DANCE Our annual Easter Dance was held last weekend in the gymnasium of Schreiber High. Many came out to listen and dance to the music of the Down- beats, a band from Wawa, who proved very well. We're sure everyone in attendance enjoyed them- selves thoroughly. HOLY ANGELS' HARP (Continued) Mr. Jack Stokes MPP visited the grade 7 and 8 class at Holy Angels last Thursday. He outlined the different departments within the Ontario Gov- ernment and gave us an idea as to the duties of each department and their annual budgets. Questions followed his delivery and because there were so many questions he has promised to return again sometime. He is presently in Parliament work= ing on the Province's Budget.
