HILLTOP One might well think that Port Perry High School was the new bus depot with so many buses departing for distant des- tinations. Not just the regular route buses, nor the buses carrying school teams but dur- ing the past few weeks, buses carrying students on one or an- other 'school trip. Perhaps the most noted of these trips, at least among the students, is the annual "Shop Trip", This trip is so popular, --it has a regular waiting list-in hopes that someone 'will not make it. This year the bus left Port Perry at 8.30 on Wednes- day 8th for Sklar Furniture Factory, the first stop. Here students saw the construction of furniture such as a couch from tlkee raw products to packaging and shipping. Next, after a long drive, came a detailed tour of Stelco, Cana- da's largest steel company. Everyone was pleased by the close inspection of the plant, and entertained by the good natured guides who met the challenge of forty male stud- ents. . From Hamilton the bus _ travelled to Toronto, and the most informed part of the trip, three an done half hours loose in downtown Toronto. "Then came the highlight of the trip as everyone gathered again at Maple Leaf Gardens for the hockey game between Toronto and. the victorious De- troit Red Wings. Finally, af- ter a late evening snack, the bus arrived home at Port Perry by one o'clock. It was a long, but most enjoyable trip. And I imagine some boys already have their names down for next HERALD year's outing. Although the shop trip is considered one of the best it is by no means the only trip spon- sored by the school. Recently the grade eleven's and twelve's travelled to Toronto to view a live production of "The Lady's Not for Burning". They were surprised to find that they al- most filled up the seating capa- city of the quaint little down- town theatre, There have been other trips in the past few weeks, to the Royal Ontario Museum, the Ont- ario County Courthouse and a visit to the Hydro generating plant at Lakeview. In sports, the basketball fin als are drawing near with the area play-offs between Port High and our ony 'B' school op- position, Brock Secondary School. After the first half of the two games total points ser- ies, the results look promising. The Junior Boys trounced Brock 519 following a half time score of 29-0! The results of this contest will be finished in Port Friday. The Intermediates also did well, winning, 46-33. Only the seniors failed to win in a hard fought game against Brock. + Meanwhile playing at home in Port, the Senior girls defeat- ed Brock comfortably by a score of 23-12, while the Juni: iors won a real squeaker 18-17. This final game should be 'the most interesting of the series, with only a"one point lead. RED CROSS IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOUR HELP ss Toy 10) 3% 1% 1% 4°.

There will be an opportunity as well to ride elephants, zebras, lamas, and camels; and even in a cart, pull- ed by an ostrich, For true realism, 'there will be monkeys hanging from trees as you ride through Safari, a hippopotamus 'wallowing in a jungle pool, and even a snake pit. From one bush a stuffed cob- ra will stare, from another -- the head of a giraffe.
