Temporary New Teacher Fifth For miin particular got quite a shock last week when it was announced that Miss Carr, Frenchi and German teacher, would net te able te instruct for several days due te iilness. With the confidentials only four weeks away this was quite a blow. How- ever, a senior student cf Toronto University, Miss Sylvia Gengen- bach was obtained to, teach An Miss Carr's absence fer a f e w days, much ta everyane's relief and surprise. Miss Gengenbach's linguistic abilîties were noted ts- pecially, as the whole school re- commenced its language studies under lier guidance until sucli time as Miss Carr would be able to corne back. On Thursday aI- terneen Miss Carr returned ta B. H.S. and Miss Gengenbach ta To- ronto, but we are grateful for tht heip given us by tht latter in tht time which would otherwise have been a total bass. Everyone was naturally very pleaaed to set Miss Carr back An good health, An time te prepare us for tht homestretci. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Students have came ta me in oast weeks ta fEnd out wliat haa liappened tc that essential and schacl spirit-building function, tht achool dance. To this I can cnly say that tht lack of get-togethers lias not been due ta any lapse cf the Lit Society. Througheut tht year I have tried ta sponsor as many dances as possible, usually three, or at tht moat, four a terra, constituting a very amali number in all. Why sc few? It seema that mest of tht clubs and organizations cf Bowmanvilit have found it expedient to use tht B.H.S. auditoriujm as a base cf aperations fer Friday niglit pro- grars-Club 15, Lions, Home and Schooi Clubs. etc. The aystem cof rtnting eut the auditorium began during tht war, as a bocat te tht war eff ort of some af these clubs, but now, with tht war over, nien- schoal groupa have taken over Friday niglit auditorium facilities to sucli an extent that tht Lit So- ciety wvas unable te hold ita Hal- lowe'en Baîl and ether functions cf the Literary Society on tht us- ual Friday evening. Thd state of affairs bas persist- edah year, witli tht result that students seek "relaxation" An Osb- awa or Newcastle, or frequent tht streets and restaurants of our tawn. Tht bouse party seema to have died eut An Bowmanvllle. Turne and again tht Lit Society, wvho had ne idea cf tht number of Friday niglits taken up by town organizations, bas tried te hold dances, always wîth tht same re- sult-no, auditorium. Posslbly A FINISH FOR EVERY SURFACE F 102 ELGIN STRI - IN SIDE AND OUTSIDE -for sale by 1.4 C CROWE EET - - BOWMANVILLE beating a hasty retreat, per eus- tom. Larry Chant and Greta Snow- den captured the prize for tht El- iianation Dance after a very hard struggle because cf strong campe- tition. Greta and Larry started a Bingo Dance. Bona Mary Griffith and Keith McGill won the prize for the Spot Dance. Keith had ta do a solo dance with a very attractive mop, dressed with a pretty skirt and blouse and bearing the dead fea- turea cf a skeleton. After Keith had tried his luck, the mop was passed to other dancers. Tht un- lucky individual handling the mop at the end cf the dance was Norm Allin who was obliged te eat a lemon. Around ten o'clock everyone disappeared An the direction cf the lunch roems, where hot dogs, pop and chiclets were served. A small tem cf interest and frenzy cancerned a baby mouse, very much alive. Ont can imagine the state cf the girls who found, upon being offered a hot dog by a certain unscrupulous fellow, that a iittle, juicy and tender mouse lay between the foids cf the bun1 and the wiener. The dastardly trick worked several times. Eve-i ryone went home after an enjoy- able evening, the boys to dream of girls, the girls of mice. B.T.S. Boys Hold First Athletic Supper Award Honor Crests A new. idea was introduced at tht Boys' Training Schoal Friday niglit when boys and staff sat down ta a bean supper lield in tht School Auditorium. Tht occasion was used te pre- sent achool lionor creats and ath- letic awards wvon during tht win- ter montha. Long tables were tastefully decorated with flowers and programa. A festive air pre- vaiîed as boys drtssed An their "Sunday Best," enttrtd whole- heartediy inta the spirit of fun and gcod-wiIl. Tht entire arrangements came under tht leadership cf Messrs. Thompaon, Bagneli and Clarke. Tht gutat speaker, Mr Walter De- Geer, president cf Chamber cf Commerce, spoke te tht boys about sparts and tmphasized the value cf dlean living and dlean spartsmanship. Part cf has stcry teck An the early days wlien lie coached tht famaus "Simpson Grads" basketball team, te lAve Canadian champion s hAps. H e spoke lucidly and feelingly about tht need for a team ta play ta win. Ht stressed tht fact that boys and men can be tht kind cf people they wauld like ta be if they have courage and perseverance. Mr. Bagneil outlined tht win- ter's activity and tht following boys spoke briefly on tht part their lieuses had played An the athletic prcgram: G. Lumsden, R. Dean, C. Merritt, R. McCanni and R.

Firat cf all there are tht Teen Towns, held every twc or three weeks. That these are flot as popular with some cf the B.H.S. students s seen from the relatively smail number, An comparison ta school parties, that attend them.

We at B.H.S. are indeed grateful for the many opportunities that are being off- ered us. However, I amn sure that tht whole student body would appreciate it if the Board cf Education would look into the matter, ta set if something could not be donetot get more Friday niglits for B.H.S., and thus more dances, more fun, and a better schooi spirit.

It rtads, "LAve and Let Live."' Some local folks ought te read t and take its lesson to heart, then they wouldn't be mc keen to interfere with other folks' legitimate needs. Apropas tht recent case cf tht local business man, who was los- ing money because he was on a uine where tht neighbors hold heartwarming gcssip fests, to hiAs business detriment. Ht decided to have bis phoe chan7ged te what s papularly known as "tht business ]!ne." When up popa one cf our local "brain trustera" with tht announcement that tht phone in question would only be moved over his dead body. We deplore tht mentality cf any one sitting in the driver's seat himself and not being willing ta move over and let a fellow citizen enjoy the same privilege. Espe- cially when the citizen seeking tht change needs t worse than tht one trying to stop the move and is willing ta pay ail financial charges involved. Shame! We hear the south end laundry la cutting off some customers. The cnes involved will have te invent a reversibie shirt, or do thtir own laundry. And to tep At ahl off the local charlady de- clares she isn't going to do any more hall day jobs in the north. Goodness, what An the world As tht working clazs comir.g to? Congratulations to our local preacher, Mr. Edwin Hancock, on his ordination nto the United Church Ministry. We note tac. that a former student p)reacher, Mr. Harvey, lias recently been or- dained. The sceiool children who help- ed with tht tree planting an the Ganaraska Project are back at their studies. They may take comfort An the fact that their help was. very mucli appreciated by the chap for whomn they worked. We hope they may ahlA ve to visit, An future years. and paint with justifiable pride, ta tht fine for- est which An 1948 they actually heiped te plant. The spots plant- ed this year were difficuit, but tht job was well done. WhIlst ont cf the steep dlay banks cf a gulîy, north cf Fred Boyd's was being planted, one chap missed liAs footing, rolled down about twenty feet, jumped up, scraptd off some mud and went back to work. Another yeuth tumbled the same distance, but an tht way down, his pail cf trees emptied its contents over liAs hart head, mucli te the merri- ment cf tht rest cf the planting crew. But he picked himself up, dug tht mud eut of his eyes and ears and went back to work with a cheerful grin.

Tom Dustan, Palampur, Indla, saine cf tht local higlights of India'a transition te self gev- ernmnent are told. Mr. Dustan, a Bowmanville boy, son cf Mrs. T. A.

He writes that ne doubt tht Canadian press told the stary cf the troubles An India and tht position is very wtll knewn abrotid.
