Horton Studios Photo SRS CRUSADER Appreciation Dinner Given For Sea Cadets This week our column is a special effort dedicated entirely to the Sea Cadets, Our Appreciation Dinner was quite a success. It took a lot of effort to prepare the meal and decorate, but results were more than worth it. A bit of fun was the ceremonial serving of the fare -- Wieners and beans "a la can", What a sigh of relief when we brought out the tur- key! If -the appreciation of a good meal is shown by the speed of consumption, then I think we can feel truly compli- mented. After the banquet, the boys even helped us clean up -- at their own Appreciation Dinner! It took some effort, but we put a stop to that and chased every- one up to the barracks for a dance, Even the Cadet officers and their wives put up a pretty good: version of the twist. The evening turned out to be one of the best social activities we have had in a long while. Lead- ers, Cadets, and friends all thoroughly' enjoyed themselves. BEATLES ENTERTAIN ' And the entertainment -- well, nothing but the best. The Beatles of course (--or at least a pretty good imitation). And then, surprise of surprises, 10 of our girls revealed a closely guarded secret. Under the direc- tion of the Cadet Band Leader, Mr. Askew, they had secretly formed a band and, thanks to him, put up a very good per- formance. It seems we can't 'even give an appreciation ~din- ner for the fellows without hav- ing to ask their help -- but it certainly is nice to know that we can. It is this type of mutual help and participation (although I confess we have received much more from the Cadets than we ever could replay) that has built up such a close bond between our two movements. 'ASK THE NAVY Ever since the beginning of Sea Rangers in Oshawa, Sea Cadets have played a part. When you want to start an organiza- tion based on nautical ideas, where do you go for informa- tion? To the Navy of course. And the Navy, in the form of the cadet movement, has respond- ed admirably. I'm sure Mr. Askew and Mr. Kunkel will agree that teach- ing drill to Sea -Rangers could even be described as being above and beyond the call of duty (maybe even torture). It has been the Cadets and their officers who have helped steer our course as a Sea Ranger crew and guided us into the right channels. Because of them we are now able to sail on our own, but every now and then we still need some piloting in- structions. JOINT ACTIVITIES Some of the joint Cadet- Ranger . activities have been highlights of the history of the Ranger Crew. For instance their invitation to take part in their annual inspection gave us the distinction of being the first Sea Ranger Crew in Canada so honored, and also gave us an- other chance to promote Sea Rangering. Certainly when you consider that the Cadet movement is in no way connected with our own, except by friendship, you real- ize how generously they have given of their time and atten- tion. We could ask no more of anyone than the Cadets have freely given. It is no wonder we so appreciate what they have done, for they have done a great deal towards our exist- ence as a crew. Our connection with the Cadets and their lead- ers over the past number of years has indeed been an en joyable experience, and we hope it will continue for many more years to come. --"'HOPALONG". MCVI Sets Date For School Play 'Hasty Heart' By CHERYL THOMSON (MCVI Reporter) Last Thursday after 'four' the McLaughlin junior and sen- ior girls' basketball teams play- ed host to the two Donevan teams and won both games. The juniors won with a score of 26-24, while the seniors man- aged a 25-24 win. These two close games were worthwhile seeing. Recently, the MCVI wrest- ling team won another bout, this time with Lindsay. This little- publicized group has lately been bringing honor to the school in the sports field. HOLD PE? RALLY The recemt appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show has affected teenagers all ac- ross the country and, needless te say, it has hit the students of MCVI. A number of boys and the odd girl are now-~sport- ing beatle hairdos and four tal- ented (?) students gave their version of the Beatles at a pep rally last Tuesday. Everyone got into the act with girls screaming at appropriate moments (for example, when a Beatle shook his head) thus pro- viding amusement for the more sober students on the sidelines. Dancing followed the Beatle's performance until-the bell sum- moned everyone to classes. In spite of the pep rally, the boys' basketbali games Tues- day night ended in a double de- feat for McLaughlin. FAVOR CONVENTIONS The teachers' convention of last Wednesday provided the students with a much-needed holiday, and popular "Es has' it that school would much more bearable ¥f ena Eddie Machen Is Winner Via K.O. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Fourth-ranked heavyweight Ed- die Machen scored his fifth con- secutive knockout Monday night by flooring giant Duke Sabedong for the count with a right up- percut in 2:56 of the first round of their scheduled 10-rounder.

The Valentine Dance, 'Cupid's Capers," Friday night was a success. I think the strategical- ly placed posters painted by the pep club were a great help in making this possible.

Tickets, which are 50 cents and 75 cents, may be bought from your form representatives or members of the cast.

As defence officials proudly demonstrated, the near-super- sonic planes now can penetrate Russian radar st tree-top level as well as at their normal height of 50,000 feet. They have also been modified to ge | the Blue Steel air-to-ground missile -|which extends their effective range by 150 The news won't make people impressed by . Kubrick's black comedy about nuclear dooms- day feel happier. Nor will it help them respond to the film's sardonic subtitle: How I Learn- ed to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Kubrick believes nuclear: war can be triggered by accident. His film, called brilliant by the critics, alternatively tickles the funnybone and chills the spine. He succeeds in making people laugh about the end of the world, But British defence strate- gists, putting aside artistic merit, aren't laughing at all. They claim Kubrick's facts are wrong and say there is little risk of an accidental holocaust. The plot the experts say is impossible hinges on a psycho- tic American general who or- ders his wing to attack Russia. The order is given by an emergency code for which he alone knows the recall signal. The characters involved are ludicrously larger than life but the grim farce is played out against a background that seems superbly realistic, From what the public knows... about nuclear safety precautions, Ku- brick may wel! be right, One expert says the American and Briitsh governments have only themselves to blame if the public takes the mechanical possibilities of the plot seri- ously. Canadian-born Leonard Bea- ton, director of studies at the Institute for Strategic Studies, says both governments "have been slow to give their public solid assurances that the sys- tem was in safe and responsi- ble hands." In fact, he says, Kubrick's team "has produced a_ plot which the nuclear safety de- signers have already made im- possible on a dozen counts."
