The roses at Anderson were a prelude to the Friday, February 12 Valentine's Dance. This partîcular dance was organized by the prom committee in co- operation with the stu- dent council. A special feature'of the evening was the "Marriage Bureau". A semi-official minister was present and at $1 each, many couples happily received a marriage ceremony complete with rice, rings, and a marriage cerifcae.To set a truly authentie mood for each marriage, church music was played'in the background. Although this attraction proved very popular, many people simply enjoyed dancing to the grea t music provided by a D.J.

After a lengthy delay, these Anderson- jans were granted a cômmon room. This room was given to the 13ls to use as a quiet study area and meeting room during -the school hours. Not.ably, it was the P.I.P. of Anderson which prepared a presentation of pro- posed orgamization and location of the common. roomn. Needless to say, the members of the P.I.P. were successful in their venture and there were a number of contented year fives.

Quebec tnip success fui for 40 Denis O'Connor students By LISA JEPPESEN Denis OConnor H.S. Our French tnp was a huge success. Lt took place at St. Donat, 78 miles north of Montreal. We departed.for St. Donat with, approximately 40 students. After eighthours on a bus, we arrived at the hotel, Manoir des Laurentides. We were issued rooms that were not luxurious, but were sufficient. As soon as we dropped off our bags, we reboarded the bus to check out the ski slopes at Mont Garceau, about two kilometres away. The ski slopes were in good condition and the difficulty of the runs ran~ged from beginner to expert. When we returned to the hotel, we had dinner and unpacked. During the evening program we had the chance to meet the Interface staff in the form of a Floor Model Waterbeds From 6249.00 Mnmoemodels to choose f rom. Also saunav.

Our schedule was composed of -a haîf day of classes, or more correctly described as workshops, and a hall day of downhill skiing. The two work- shops were outdoor survival and the history and geography of St. Donat. They were very informa- tive. Outdoor activities were incorporated into the workshops. Everyone'took lessons in the downhill portion of the day. On the first day there was a ski-, off which determined what level of instruction each person required. In the three free-time allotments each day at noon, before supper and after the evening program, there were several optional activities. We could skate, toboggan, snow-shoe, cross-country ski, do ice sculptures, dance in the disco, try out the games room, go for a sleigh-ride or simply curi up in a cosy chair before the fire. - Evening program was a favourite with skits, songs, a talent show, and on the final evening, a carnival consisting of outdoor competitions. The students at St. Donat were from several dif- ferent schools.- The schools were divided into four teams; Archambault, Pemnbina, Ouareau and our group, Montcalm. Each group'accumulated points for the various activities in the carnîval, the talent show and for participation in classes. Our group, Montcalm, came in second overall. Next year we've vowed togo back and win the titie! ' Our French has improved and we enjoyed our- selves immensely.
