corps took part in a huge game of hide and seek named exercise damp feet the hiders were 1000 enemy alrforce personnel kcaf who were downed staging a raid on the toronto area the sdejkers were soldiers cadets and civilians trie area in which this operation took place was bounded by port credit orangeville aurora and oshawa with toronto included plackout buses proceeded through out the area dropping off parties of three and four airmen these men were equipped w ith white coveralls flying boots and rations when we arrived at our hq in schomberg a few airmen had pre viously been caught and one was shown to us crews were required to meet at a rendezvous where in theory helicopters would pick them up but in reality cars were used to make things tougher for these men no hitchhiking was allowed and they could not carry more than one thin dime the army and ca dets crisscrossed the country in trucks and on foot and were in fast contact with each other by means adios when the enemy were captured interrogation and intelli gence units examined them the airmen had to walk 36 miles in 36 hours all the cadets received a better kn6wledge of this type of work and the expedition proved to be a profitable one the georgetown cadets took an active part in pat rolling and gained some useful in formation on activities which will be used on the schools annual scheme which is coming up soon

many ways to study among the most predominant meth ods is the anderson method to set the scene the tv is tuned to the fights the radio is tuned to johnny dollar a light lunch consisting of a pile of

tually studies j- y mcgill method is even worse to quote i study al dont you worry these are mcgllls own words darbys theory concerning study is very simple and would cause a minor revolution in educational fields due to conditions present in the modern educational system i believe that under no clrcumstan- ces would k be accepted his theory i in plain english is as follows in the beginning there was nothing and in the end there is a lot this situation should be immediately re medied to keep the standards of fourth form prevalent throughout the storms of life this can be done only by completely abolishing study this movement must start immediately if not sooner in order to save the valiant fourth form from a horrible disease known as ifoam on the dome which is highly contagious among better students especially those intelli gent ones making up the class known as the looney bin with this glonous innovation- i conclude my brilliant wonderful marvelous splendid and wholly meaningless thesis it is also my opinion that this paper should be preserved la for- editorial don souther in high school students must de cide what occupation they are go ing to follow as anybody knows it is very hard for some to decide what theyre going to do it is even harder when one cannot find out about the different occupations easily some school attenders know from childhood what trade they are going to follow but most of u3 have a hard time deciding for this reason many students leave high school early because they have not been adequately informed about the multitude of great opportuni ties that await them the guidance courses in first form are only a start and it is too bad that they are not carried on thro the different forms those w ho leave school always find too late the great opportunities that awai ted them if they had stayed on if the guidance courses were step ped up with more movies explain ing the different opportunities for each student more literature in the library concerning all types of jobs and their present day pay rates it would give many of us something to work for it has happened that some have not known of opportun ities and have dropped certain sub jects and found out too late that they cannot take many of the cour ses the future of canada is being decided now and if canada wants more trained men and women the schools should be adequately equip ped with literature movies and talks about the many opportunities that await the school pupil 9b report terry harley baseball is creeping back into our sports llneup th f has been

they happen to be cadets taking a rest after that operation damp also muddy frozen and aching feet speaking of this exercise i would like to tell those who did not take part in the scheme that they really missed something the joy of walk ing miles through mud and water the fun of lying in wet grass till 12 30 am and the thrill of jumping off army trucks into small lakes we had all the comforts

paratroopers well 1 11 give you the facts we were so busy being chased by cows hunting wildcats and rounding up a few stray cadets that we had no time for minor things like the en emy when we picked

a day slowly he pushed open the gate which clicked behind him as he shuffled up the walk he felt very miserable it seemed to him as though he were intruding as though he were doing something for which he would soon be severely punished after trav elling the short distance between gate and door which had been miles to mr doolittle he timidly lifted the knocker and let it fall it resounded hollowly within the house and was soon taken up in a much greater refrain the barking of a loud deepvoiced dog a sudden note of terror swept over the little man as he turned on his heel to put himself on the other side of the gate as quickly as he could just as he swung around the gate flew open and a big burly man stepped through and started towards the house mr doolittle was suddenly at a loss and felt very 111 at ease ii m terribly sorry sir he blurted out oh ho my little man roared the other and just what are you sorry for eh what have you been up to speak up man there was a moment s pause in w

concerned be cause of herrimans phonetic feline cat soon became kat in spite of repeated raps over the knuckles with a ruler otherwise spellings in my day was pretty clear sailing but modern moppets
