hontford drive dollard des ormeaux pq november 7th 1966 dear sir this past weekend november 46 which i spent in george town is one that i shall not for- get never in my life have i been as disgusted and sickened as i was by the utter hypocrisy ghat can pervade even a town taking such pride in its friendli ness a does georgetown ted by a separate official who in some cases had been unaware of this rote before the official announcement was made as a result of this lack of planning what should have been a dignified presentation of awards look on the appear ance of a lineup for handouts for me this portion of the pro gram was even further strained of meaning by someones cute idea of suggesting float prizes were earned on a family basis this was in the poorest taste imaginable and since it destroy- ed some of the pleasure in the presentation of an honpat iresenution of prizc was luatiou diploma is a mom- rr madore iuii 1966 georgetown dis- trict high school graduate and i have been led to believe that ignduation eotou occasion the purpose of five years of study the high acbolasuc record cited by the principal in his remarks totally unappreciated a dance for the graduates was held in the cafeteria and would have been a wonderful notrrrthy rfiivopient bring- gestjuejflweicpme but for the ing honour to the school and one would assume that this -would- be the basis on which j the graduation ceremony would be marked for this reason at 4m ajn on friday morning i left my home in montreal que- bee for a 380 mile drive to georgetown i have never been so com- pktely disappointed i hy graduation ceremony was fvefaced by a shuffling parade v of teachers and assorted but unidentified dignitaries and their competition far the back c row seats on the auditorium n stage a round of mutual back- v slapping followed as the mem- bere of the school board the principal and the mayor attemp- ted to surpass each other praise of the new staff the new programmes of study recent ad dltions to the school and the councils record of educational financing while all of these v are no doubt commendable v they are scarcely the concern i of myself my fellow graduates and former staff members ma- ny of whom had travelled some distance for the specific pur- pose- of viewing a graduation ceremony r the ceremony was merely a monotonous processionf of the graduates and the presentation at awards was reduced to a con fused shuffle of unmusical chairs as each prize was prescrv fact that so many students from the lower grades arrived that there was no room for the gra duates since any refreshments available appeared to be inten ded for staff members most of she graduates left this is a far cry from the dances and banquets held commencement night of many high schools in ontario and quebec and also at gdhs in earlier years it has been sug gested that the students coun cil supported by the lower gra des should not be expected to finance the graduation of sen ior students perhaps this is so in that case however 1 would recommend that for further sa ving graduates be requested to provide the school with a stam ped self addressed envelope to facilitate direct mailing of the diploma to the student this would be the last step in the apparent although unde clared objective of the high school board and principal of reducing gdhs to a colourless spiritless brain factory it is a cold prospect for graduates indeed but at least it would spare them the hypocritical farce staged for our benefit on friday night yours truly marion c burt watch drinks in county building ca warns

but really it makes no difference you notice dummy spade and you should decide now what you are going to do if declarer leads a spade later declarer wins the club with the ace and ruffs a club he leads a low diamond and wins with the king now he ruffs an other club and leads a trump from dummy he takes two rounds of trump with the ace and king and leads a low spade this is what you have been waiting for without hesitation you play what you assume that your partner has a trump trick and you need three others to set the contract declarer must have three spades else be should have bid diamonds differently if you read declarers mind you will see that he is going to finesse the spade nine you should play low without hesita tion neither too fast nor too alow if declarer does play the
