CARNIVAL DECOR As yeu are undo todly atvare, the theme this year was "Carnival" and over $100-worth of Carnival it was.

Richard Jones, who is in charge of the Inter-Provincial visits. During the first two weeks of « .| July a large number of English- speaking Canadian students go to Quebec where they live with French Canadian families. At the end of the two weeks these students return to their homes with their French hosts who stay wih them for the last two weeks of July. Entertainment both in Quebec a tario by the various cities, with the Junior Chambers of Commerce taking an active role in arrang- ing programs to acquaint the students with each other. In Oshawa there will be 25 students from the four coulegi- ates who will take part in the exchange. Those from Mc- Laughlin are Carolyn Yeo, Bevan, Gail Flontek, is. provided son, Franca Bizzo, Douglas Mack, Peggy Stuart, Terrance Glecoff, David Thomson and Edward Syperek. In his talk, Mr. Jones spoke of the numerous __ religious, ethnic and racial groups of Can- ada which have so far kept their own identity, He referred to the United States, which also has various racial groups, as a "melting pot'?. He pointed out that Canada is not a melting pot but is more like a "sym- phony orchestra" in which each section is an identity in its own right but with each group play- ing its part to produce music. In conclusion, he returned to the interprovincial visits, stressing their importance in bringing tegether French and English Canadians and promoting better understanding betweefti the two groups. Another method of seeing Quebec city and getting to know French-Canadians is by taking the six-week summel French. course at Laval Uni- versity. This is a more ex- pensive way as students buy books and pay board, although kind donors have provided fees. Those planning to take this course are Ken Mosier, Nancy McNevin and Doug Carrington. LAST MEETING The junior, intermediate and -enior French Clubs held their last meetings this week. Al- though attendance had dropped somewhat since September, in- terest was maintained, on the whole, throughout the year. The German Club also finished up its activities this week. Mem- pers of the clubs pian a party for the third week in May. PANELIST We hope you enjoyed hearing our principal; Mr. Roberts, on the CHUM panel. Their subject was: "Why are our high school Schedule Quebec Visit students so ignorant about Canadian history and current affairs?' The television panel discus- sion in which Mr, Roberts took part last week discussing "Prob- lems of Grade 13" is to be seen again with a continued dis- cussion of the same subject. The show is Toronto File, Channel 6, at 7.30 p.m. today. Times Square Night Club Is For Teens By CHARLES L. WEST NEW YORK (AP) -- Broad- way's newest nightcluh was swinging. The four guitars and drums of the Auroras backed up the wildly harmonious singing of the five Charters. Dim but gay lanterns softened the artifically of the pine-ap- ple trees and flowers decorating the dining room. A red coated waiter squeezed by the dance floor with a drink-laden tray. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Murray, the well-known dancers, sat at a ringside table. At a glance, the scene wasn't too different from that at the Latin Quarter a half-block away in the Times Square area. But here, at Tcen Haven, the drinks were non-alcoholic and the patrons were aged 16 to, 20. So were the entertainers. About the only adults in the club were the Murrays, who had dropped to see what new steps the ycunger set had worked out. "You see, dancing teachers don't make up the dances," said Kathryn Murray. Her husband added: 'The kids actually set the pace in dancing for the grown-ups. it has always been that way." Presiding and pleased over the way his three - week - old venture caught on was Angelo Barone, a 50-year-old auditer who has raised three children, one still a teen-ager, and thinks adults should shcw a little more faith in the younger generation. He described the club as '"'pri- marily a public service, but with a commercial aspect too." "Youngsters never g:t a break," he explained. "They need a place of their own." The idea of a tecn-age night- club is not new. A few exist in various parts of the United States. But none can boast of such a choice location as Teen Haven's Times Square area si:e¢. Barone estimated it costs $°0) a week te operate the club. The biggest spender droos only $2.25 or $2.50 - that inc'udes $1 admission and a coupl> of "suicide special" fruity ice cream scdas. Sandwiches and inexpensive meals are avai_a- ble. * and his, band. Corsages for the girls, included with the tickets, were. providde by Burtinsky's.

Refresh- ments at the dance were provid- cd by Henry's cafeteria staff. he students would like to! thank all those who helped in| making this wonderful night a swecess.
