In preparation for the GAA's Annual Dance, candi- dates for Miss Central were chosen on Friday by each form. At the dance, to be held on Fri- day, March 13, one of these con- testants will win the title of Miss Central and be crowned by last year's winner, Sylvia Szikszay. The lucky girl is elected by the student body who vote for the one they want. She must have eligibility in marks, a good personality, and take an active part in school affairs. At the last GAA meeting, the commit- tees for tickets, food znd decor- ations were set up. The theme, name, and colors were also de- cided upon but have not been revealed as yet. Good luck to all the candidates! SOLD OUT Last week, I mentioned that Central students wanteg to travel to Stratford next fall to see King Lear. After writing the festival authorities, however, we found out that all the tickets are sold. Now we are thinking of perhaps eéeeing another Shakespearean play if enough war to go. Let's hope it is not sold out, too! The second edition of the Cen- tralite for this school year was on gale at the end of last week. Our school newspaper, under its new editor, Fran Kruger, is steadily improving and becom- ing more interesting. Perhaps we can get a third edition out by Jume. Pictures are still being taken for our yearbook, the Phoenix. The drama club, who put on the wonderful performances at Cen- tral Presents, had their pictures taken on Thursday. Our cham- Central pion basketball teams also were Snapped in the gym. The girls' basketball teams played another game in their series Thursday night, The senior team left school early to- day to play at Donevan and the juniors left after school was out. I haven't the results as yet, but we wish them luck anyway. The boys also played three basketball games Fyrdi noa basketball games on. Friday nigl.. at Donevan. On _ these games depended all Central's hopes for going to the COSSA championships. I sure hope we cleaned them! INDUNESIAN DANCE As most of you know by now, successful. Just before the Fan- tasy in Music, "Chain of Jade', two girls performed a very in- teresting and intricate dance setting the mood for the "Fan- tasy". It was an Indonesian Temple Dance, requiring good timing, and was very well done by the girls, Stella-and Wilma VanDerDr:im. Congratulations to their mother, who did such a good job of teaching and train- ing them and making their au- thentic costumes. Approximately 100 students, occupying three buses, went on the trip to the Crest Theatre to see "Hamlet" and I am sure each one enjoyed himself or her- self thoroughly. They left at 6.30 p.m. on Thursday and returned around 1 a.m. Good luck to everyone on their exams and I hop. you pass them all!

THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, February 25, 1964 ay a Poor Man's James Bond Hero In New Spy Books LONDON (CP)--They call the hero of Len Deighton's spy novels "the poor man's James Bond," In fact, Deighton designed him to be as different as pos- sible from the urbane, expense- account secret ageat created by | as Ian Fleming. He's an anonymous, trench- coated character with a radical streak. His London base is a dingy, file-cluttered office 'on the unwashed side" of Charlotte Street in Soho, Unlike Bentley- driving gourmet Bond, he owns a battered Volkswagen, primes himself on cheap snacks, acrid French cigarettes and endless cups of coffee, The two books in which he appears have blazed a new trail in the world of spy fiction, a trail other writers are following. Like a British new-wave movie, they exude a gritty documen- tary realism. Deighton himself is as much a contrast to Fleming as his classless hero is to uppercrust Bond, Fleming, 55-year-old interna- tional sophisticate, has a mental storehouse of secret service lore derived from his years in war- time intelligence work and as a Reuters foreign correspondent. COMMERCIAL ARTIST Deighton, 34, is a rumpled commercial artist turned writer who draws a weekly cookery strip for The Observer. His main experience of undercover work seems confined to the time he spent as an airline steward, when someone offered him $210 to smuggle a beltful of gold. He declined. He has always. wanted to write thrillers and hit the jack- apt, 'Son tore Yi, on oft empt, e, an beat adventure dealing with the mass abduction of British sci- entists. The book was hailed by critics as '"'spyworks witht he lid off." Rival Fleming voted it among his favorite reading of the year. Deighton's second novel, Horse Under Water, was pub- lished last fal} and sold 10,000 copies in its first month. intricate tale of dope-smug --"Horse"' being the Galereucla term for heroin--and a neo-Nazi conspiracy among the elite of Europe, it bristles with convinc- ing detail. oth are to be filmed by the makers of the money-spinning James Bond movies, The books are written in a racy, elliptical first-person nar- rative that sometimes erupts in overwrought metaphor -- "The airport bus dredged through the sludge of traffic as sodium arc lights jaundiced our way to- wards Slough." Commented one_ reviewer, cryptically; 'Deighton writes like a soiled angel." The books are the end product of a pyramid of painstaking research, resembling the sub- merged nine-tenths of an ice- berg. Deighton is generally engaged on a bundle of assorted projects and his working day is a kind of split-level attempt to defy time. MOBILE OFFICE He uses his car as a mobile office, collecting phone mes- sages en route from a central information service.
