This week I would like to discuss applications to post secondary institutions institutions such as University, Ryer- son, Community Colleges, Agricultural schools and others. First let me comment on the University Applications. From approximately approximately fifty students in Grade 13, thirty-nine originally applied to university, mostly in Ontario, but a few in other provinces. Twenty- seven of these applicants were girls. All applicants received Acknowledgement/Ammendment Forms recently which allows them to change their selections if they so .. desire.'.

These marks are important as offers for early admis- "The Dining Room" coming to Bowmanville The spring ' offering from Bowmanville Drama Workshop will be The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney Jr. First produced off- Broadway by Playwrights Horizons in 1982 it has since become a major ' success in theatres around the world. It could be any dining room, in any house, in any country in the world. The scenes will evoke a sense of nostalgia for the passing of the formality and tradition connected to the room and all it implies. In fact, I defy anyone to see the play, and not relate to at least one of the vignettes. There are fifty-seven characters in the play, but only eight actors. Each actor will play approximately eight roles, one minute they may be six years old and the next eighty. Veteran director Jean Sheridan has the difficult role of melding all the scenes together, assisted by pro ducer Sheila Majid. Production dates are April 17, 18, 19, tickets cost $5.00, student tickets $3.00. Many of otu regular patrons found themselves unable to obtain tickets for our last production so why not reserve your tickets as soon _ as possible, they went on sale March - 18 and are available by calling 623-6057 or may be obtained through any club member. ty- ■ The Durham East riding will include the Town of Newcastle, an area north of Taunton road in Oshawa as well as Port Perry, Cartwright, Reach and Brooklin.

Students may wonder if they will be accepted into the course of their selection, if they will have an offer from -the school of their choice, pr if'they should pay the deposit fee, of perhqps fifty dollars, to secure a seat in a school of their second or third choice'while they wait for their first choice offer.
