Itfs belng presented After returning from, a therapeùtic long' weekend, I realized two thi *ngs. The. fret je that I -have to write exams before my next holida, Christmnas, and the. seconlis. that I truly like to wake Up at a decent hour, such as noon, when, the sun lias at least risen. I ý searched, and perliape begged, several students to tel me something interesting about their weekend, so that I would have a little something extra to write about In my, article. Instead, mny questions were answered with the common question, 'How rnany more days until Christmias, vacation?" rm stiil waiting for a conclusive re~~Trafalgar lias attended the. Trinity public speaking, contest, as well as a swimn meet' with lielp of our star swimmer, IAndsay McCrea, and the rest of our victorious swim teain. We hosted a successful murder myster night on Nov. 7, and we have the honour of liosting the Fulford debating competition on Nov. 21, for Ontario independent echools. Sinc'i I arn going to b. a madame speaker, I will have te remember to bring my whietle or soin. loud instrument, because sometimes the arguing becomn'es so intense that the. explosion of firecrackers would not grab the. attention of the participants when their time 15 up. Currently, our four houss are competing in basketball, and hous. plays go on next week. I cari tell from the stressed expression on the face of Robin Keon, Carter's house captain, that éhe, like the other house captains, bias more than her share of directing, coaching, and getting everyone to cooperate in their houses. I would like to introduce Amy Kwok,Trafalgar's recent addition to the prefect body. It ie highly unusualthat a girl be given tus position in the middle of the year. This year moet of the prefeets are day girls, and, there seemed to b. a shortage-of help for the, housemothers with the boarders, and- since se had already takezn upon herseif some of the prefecti duties, the decision seenied logical. Somehow Deirdre Brown's naine did not appr on the list of prefects in my first article, so I ýwould like to express my humble apologl'es and correct that error noàw. It recently was decided by etudent council that once a-week the entire school should wear their dress number one uniforme, which includes blazers, during the school day,' and so far there have been few complainte. A good exemple was on Remembrance Day when Miss Roberts' writer's craft class did a speciel* service im chapel that morming. Incidentally, it is lier class that writes these articles in the paper weekly. I amn sad -to report that Mis Barton, our beloved math teacher and guin spotter, is leaving us this week -to pUrsue another job. Her unmista1be, lively voice and presence ý,will be missed by ail. Lastly, the formhal dance is on Nov. 28, and just today I heard a rurnour about some girls arrivmng with their dates in a school bus. If there is something tob.aid for Trafalgarites, it is that we certainly do not laclc originality. jThe War AmnpsA of canada À&L Nov. 26 to 28, 7:30 p.m. at the sohool. liokets'($5 for aduits, $3 for students) are available at the, door or from cast members.
