This is an annual event that 15 sponsored by the Yearbook Club. Studen- ta and teachers alike bought pink, white and red carnations at $1.50 a piece. The flowers were, in turn, delivered to the "sweethearts" home- room. Driver's Education started again at DO'C for the would-be-drivers in our school. I per- sonally know the people enrolled.- in the course, and I think it would be safe to state that ail will be fine on the highways and byways of Durham Region. On Wednesday we were formaily in- troduced to our new chaplain, Father Bernie Wilson, when we had our first schooî Mass of the second semester. This Mass was celebrated on Ash Wed- nesday, the beginning of tne season of Lent. Yes, this is the time to give up chocolate bars and to stop fighting with littie brother.

On the weekend, the junior boys basketbail teain played in a tour- nament at Dunbarton. DO'C's first gàme was against the Dunbarton teamn.

The final score was 43-22 for Ajax. Last Thursday, our niidget boys tearn over- threw the team froin Courtice and were triumphant with a 51-16 score.
