8 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday. May 12, 1964" Stock Exchange Amazes Students By WAYNE DITTMAR (CSB Reporter) Well, here you are again. I wait patiently every week for you to reach this part of. the paper. This won't hurt a bit, so please read on. Last week, I mentioned that our school students take trips every month, usually to Toronto, te visit 'important . business establishments. I -would like to elaborate on these trips in this column. Our first trip this year was-to the Toronto .. Steck, Exchange. The students afrivéd at school at the regiilar: time 'all set. for the bus ride to the big provin- cial capital:- We: found. to our amazement 'that: we had to at- tend classes . all -morning - and would not leave until the noon hour. When it finally. arrived, we all stampeded to the bus terminal and boarded our giant "luxury" vehicle bound for To- ronto. The trip was very enjoyable. The sun was shining, and the songs were flying. We even had a few short songs from our English teacher. She told me not to mention the name of a song she sang, but I'll leave that to your imagination. It seems that the bus, rocking back and forth, turns her into a regular '"'swinger". NO WOMEN After our -gallant bus. driver "found" the Stock - Exchange, we -all. scrambled' -from the bus, into 'the 'building; and 'up the elevators <into the 'visitors' galleriés to watch the Exchange inaction. We 'were amazed to see that no-women are. allowed on the "floor" of dhe Exchange. We were told that it gets so rough down there that women would be thrown bodily from that room if found in it. The floor was littered with paper and men, and I think every one of them was screaming --- and this wasn't a busy day. We all wondered how many men down on the floor had ulcers, the way they ran around all day. From the visitors' gallery, a public relations man took our group down into the basement for a behind-the-scenes look at the Exchange. We saw what we thought were about 500 miles of wires: all leading -into one large machine. The vaults in the base- ment held a copy of every transaction' that took place on the Toronto Stock Exchange. After the tour of the Ex- change, we were let loose. Some girls went shopping, after look- ing for Eaton's and: Simpson's for: about an 'hour. Some went into. restaurants, and .a - few brave. students. took to the sub- way to travel- from one end of the City: to. the other. As the' time for. the evéning meal' came 'closer, we thought that we should start looking for the place where everyone was to meet. Everyone arrived on time; everything, that is, except the food. We ordered our supper and then waited and waited, and waited. And then it started. They brought us all a glass of water (just to keep us in our seats). We were to attend a movie after eating, so we were in quite a hurry. Finally, the meals were served. After the restaurant escapade, the student body rolled down the street to the moviehouse. A few quiet hours of a movie was too much for the students. On the bus on the way home, many of the girls, being too tired to sing and dance in the aisles, just sat lazily -in their seats trying. to sleep. The few songs started soon died out, and the bus driver sighed with relief. The happy, excited, and gay students that left Oshawa in: the early afternoon could not' be recognized as the same group when they got off the bus. Hair was bes in the breeze; nylons were twisted; shoes were scuff- d. And wé said we'd do it again too! Swim-A-Thon | Is Student Fad 100 miles -- in a swimming pool, Ten Claremont High School youths, swimming in relays, completed the feat Sunday.
