BASKETBALL STARS, PAST. AND PRESENT, TOUCH BALL FOR GOOD LUCK DCI Students Use Holiday To Probe Future Careers By GIBB McKAY (DCI Reporter) If for no other reason than saving face (for the losers con- cerned), the results of the Fri- day night hassel will not be published at this time. And, fer those just tuning in, the evening involved an_ en- counter between the Donevan senior boys' basketball squad and the alumni or former COSSA champions of the school. It was, in effect, an all-out, die- hard struggle to determine if our present-day contestants are a match for the district win- ners of yester-year. We rest the decision with your confidence. Following the game, the Sadie Hawkins Valentine Dance brought numerous couples to the floor instigating various new shuffles to old worn-out moans of 'Twist.' Still others transplanted themselves in the realms of 'Beatlemania' -- not Anouilh's 'Ring' Runs 4 Days At Ajax H-S By ROD WILLMOT This Wednesday, "Ring Round the Moon", a play di- rected by Alex Eftimoff, opens its four-day run at the Ajax High School uditorium, start- ing at 8.00 p.m. "Ring Round the Moon", termed by its French author Jean Anouilh, "a charade. with music"', is a comedy based on the gay rich class of the 1920's. Indeed, it has many moments far funnier than any ordinary, slap-stick-comedy affair, for it depends mainly on cleverness, acute timing, and subtle cari- cature. This is the main point stressed by diréctor Eftimoff, for he wants this to be a. pro- fessional-lodking production of culture, not just something crassly amateurish. I believe he wiil attain this goal, for he has an able and enthusiastic cast, a good set and stage-team-plus his own di- recting talents: He won the 1962 Simpson's Drama Festival with his presentation of 'The Devil and Daniel Webster'. Seo I can only hope -- and advise -- that as many of you as possible attend 'Ring Round the Moon" on any night from Wednesday. through Saturday, starting at 8.00 p.m. Tickets are $1 for adults and 75 cents for students and children. a genuine atmosphere, however, due to the lack of the authentic but expensive wigs. CAREERS DAY Wednesday, Feb. 12, was, 'to many, a day of relaxation and to others a day of periodic spells of studying, and to a_ select few,:an afternoon of horse rust- ling (more commonly referred to as horse-back riding). Nevertheless, the day was not an entire failure. Some of our more earnest and enthusiastic scholars took the opportunity to further their knowledge in the form of vocational visits to professional persons within our city, local firms, and _ public schools. Approximately 60 students of DCL visited 10 different areas of future, interest, Among the several schools to which we sent representatives, the Duke of Edinburgh Schcol presented Chris Nash,. Laura Melnyk and Susan McConkey' with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability, or possibilities in the teaching profession. Mr. Jarvis, the school princi- pal, commended all three on a job well done, through a per- sonal phone call to our~princi- pal, A. B. Woods. Other areas receiving interested intruders were the Royal Bank, Eaotn's, the Armstrong Funeral Home, the City Hall, Bell Drafting, a local investment dealer, and Dr. Manitius for those contempalt- ing the future of a lady physi- cian. All students thoroughly enjoyed the occasion and wish to thank the officials concerned, for their valuable time. Tuesday night, of one week ago, brought many other keen persons to investigate the 4pro- gress of tomorrow's leaders. Open House at Donevan saw many a teacher relieving his troubles, through the ears of the parents. It is said to have been an enlightening evening for both parties but not many stu- dents agree on the benefit of such an occasion. TRIP TO QUEEN'S Other interruptions in the study program occurred when J. Sigsworth took time to chap- erone a trip to Queen's Univer- sity, including a well-organized tour of the campus. Many stu- dents are indebted to him and the college faculty for troubles, The day before the Queen's trip saw several students board- |: ing the bus for the art gallery in Toronto. A few memoirs of that day have been jotted down by our 'art correspondent' ard we take this opportunity to pass the words of wisdom to you. 'Pupils partake of Pizza, Pastromi and Picasso! "The descent on Toronto of 70 students on February 7, was a boon to restaurants and Chin- ese curio shops. As usual the students dressed well and con- ducted themselves in general-- that is) in a fine, honorable fashion. "Despite the impact of over 200 Picasso paintings, everyone No RCMP Ride But Dance Success By MARTIN RHODES (OCVI Reporter) With only three weeks left until exams, teachers are hurl- ing tests right and left to arrive at.a term. mark for every stu- dent. In retaliation, the students held a Valentine Dance Friday night. Because this is a Leap Year, it was a_ girl-ask-boy event. Some boys appeared at school rather nervously during the week prior to the dance -- but then there were more ag- gressive types like Mac Swack- hammer. He hung a large poster in the auditorium advertising his phone number and the fact that he was available for the dance. For added _ enttrtainment, there was a Judo exhibition in the boys' gym. It had been an- nounced that the girls' gym was to have been flooded and Don Jackson was going to skate for us. At a later daf®, it was rumored that the RCMP were going to perform their musical ride in the auditorium. Appar- ently both suggestions were ruled out as being too imprac- tical. With music provided by Mike and John, and Patti Andrews, plus records, the dance proved a great success. TYPEWRITERS for REN HAMILTON _ | Office Equip. 137 BROCK ST. S. WHITBY maintained a stout appetite for lunch. The grade 10's went on a tour before lunch. The grade 11's and 12's had eats prior to viewing the exhibition. Despite the impact of a big lunch, most senior students maintained a stout appetite for Picasso. "Not only did the trip en rich the. cultural lives of the students, but also their figures. Among the distinguished res- taurants visited were Scotty's Chicken Villa, Leechee Gar- dens, The Greasy Spoon, and Eaton's,"' EXAMS AND HAMLET So much for cur art corre- spondent. Although much effort has been spent in preparing a pleas- ure cruise to Hamlet (includ- ed in the grade 13 course--also a keen interest in Liz), it seems the proposed date is 'quite unsatisfactory. Many of the candidates -- in- volved have been forced to back out of their agreement, since the date set has a re- markable_ similarity with the beginning of the exam time table. Is this a legitimate ex- cuse for resignation? About 50 grade 13's figure so. NINE UNDER CROWN Nine of the 18 member na- tions of the Commonwealth are monarchies, with Queen Eliza- beth as head of state. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, February 18, 1964 5 'Thanks, Mao But Africa Can Civilize China China is wooing the Africans with soft - spoken assurances '|that she understands the prob- lems of a colored skin.

He became conv 'we Africans must civilize the Chinese, not vice versa.' Now "mmanuel John Hevi, $1, has written a book called An African Student in China. It's a bitter indictment of ra cialism and oppression as bad as anything Africa had for merly blamed on the _ white empire-builders, Hevi found that, far from Marxist equality, Aricans were forbidden to associate with Chi nese women and debarred from some shops and hotels, insult ingly treated in others. He was shocked, too, at cradle + to - grave indoctrina« tion, the class structure in the supposedly classless society, the wretched poverty of the ma and the continual, cynical ex- ploitation of the individual by the state machine.
