"We've a subway that's classy even got Vincent Massey, but where, oh where's the flag?' they sang and from then om the aud- ience was theirs. Mavor Moore made a smooth and subtle M.C. His interview with a simpering Miss Canada, played by Pegi Brown was a slice of realism, and his monologue, "Pots", in which he lectured husbands on scouring pans and sleaning eggy dishes, gave a glimpse of the ser- jous character actor that lies un- der the clowning, and a master of timing. Dave Broadfoot soloed as Member from Kicking Horse Pass and, in an impassioned speech, in- formed his constituents that "the only national institution in good shape is Marilyn Munroe." In two sketches with the irrepresible Pegi Brown he was an excellent foil, first as the harassed husband and later as the exasperated store ~cterk. Pegi, the summer thunder the | MRS. THOMAS R.

One was the "Orpheus in the Underworld" overture by Offenbach, in which tone and balance of the band made the performance nothing short of superb. The other was the 'Ligh Cavalry" overture by F.

For the past week the school has been operating under a 40- minute ported time-table. Genera- lly speaking the students reaction has been one of mild enthusiasm. They : like the constant 40-minute change in preference to the old system and they prefer having almost every subject each day. (Except of course, for the extra homework it entails). What has been their chief objection is the awkward noon-hour. Dinners not ready, upset bus schedules, etc.- However, this could easily be re- medied and may be if the system is to become permanent next year. Speaking of the change in time- tables brings to mind 13-A. For nearly 25 weeks now Upper School has been having only one hour of PT a week but the new schedule allowed two 40-minute periods for rough and tumble relazation. This seemed like a fine idea te the boys. Bursting with energy they barged through the gym doors anxiously anticipating their extra periods of basketball But that was not to be, not on your life. Mr, McLlveen was standing there alright, but did he have a basket- ball? Nope! In one hand was a badminton racket, in the other a | bird. It must have taken a lot of nerve to say, "Badminton any- one?" Oh well, who wanted those extra periods of PT perman- ently anyway? Another change was introduced | this week. Last Monday the sen- for students began supervision in the library. The system has proved very satisfactory so far and we trust it will continue, We're proud of our students -- of supervising and those who respect the privilege they have in using the Yd for noon hour study purposes.

Preston said summer was the busy time for utilities employees who get their normal two weeks holi- days in winter when there isn't much to do Bruce Weber, commissioner and former Kitchener mayor, said: 'If there's any possible way I think we - should co-operate with the militia, We as a public organiza- tion should assist something that is also a public endeavour. This is the least we can do toward as- sisting in a national effort." Summer military training was no holiday but a "rough, tough deal." Mr. Preston said in an interview Friday night he was misquoted in published reports quoting him as saying that employees who seek time off work for militia summer camp only want extra holidays.
