Port Perry Legion, Branch 419 report by J.D. Christie On Sunday, March 11th, I visited the Ajax Legion Hall with the members of our Public Speaking team and their parents.

Caroline Carnaghan 'placed third in the 11 - 13 group. Caroline is a student at Cartwright High School. On March 19th a number of executive members attended the Zone Rally in Oshawa.

At the District Public Speaking Contest in Oshawa Tammie Demerchant crowned 'At Home' Queen at Cartwright H.S. by Anne Kristensen The snow has lifted (hope- fully for good) and the flowers are peaking through the soil. Winter blues are fading along with the winter bulges and for the past month the students of C.H.S. have been busying them- selves on "The Stairway To Heaven". that was the chosen theme for the 21st annual "At Home" formal dance. Under the direction of Tracy Hogg with help from Lois Van Camp, the students put the Rec. Centre together with balloons, spotlights, streamers, and attractive murals. It felt like you were floacing on air in the clouds of Heaven. A good crowd was out for the dress up event and alot of familiar faces showed up to relive the days of old at Cartwright High. The girls were living angels and the men smartly .

It was a memorable night that won't be quickly forgotten. Education Week Some special activities have been arranged for Education Week (April 23- 27). Our senior students will have the opportunity to see the recent videotape film of Shakespeare's famous tragic romance - 'Romeo and Juliet". An evening showing of the videotape could be arranged if there were enough parents interested. We have also arranged to have two special guest speakers during the week - Mr. Doug Tangney, an actor with the Toronto Young People's Theatre, and the Lindsay summer theatre and Mr. Lloyd Wilson, an auc- tioneer from Uxbridge. Their presentations will be geared to the interests of students of high school age and the students will be encouraged to ask questions and to participate in the follow-up discussions.
