A few bass were caught, but they are out of season and had to be returned to the water. After a hearty lunch of hot dogs, coffee or cocoa. the fathers and sons went out to purSue their luck. Some of the moreindus- trlous \fished, but if one looked in the back seat of any car he would be likely to find some fa- ther peacefully sleeping. About by Ron Stags Jr. A.S.M. three o’clock, the cars started home. Along the way could be seen in every river, stream, pond or even ditch a number of fisher- men eagerly dangling their lines in two or three inches of water. The day, however, was very pleas- ant, and everyone had a good time. _ . > _ _ Last week the band spent‘ an- other hour‘ of practice outside the school, marching and play- ing. They then‘ went_insidé for their regular practice. For the next few months there will be extra practice outside.

It was wonderful to see these handicapped children enjoying themselves and being given the opportunity to do the things which is their right. that of form- ing friendships, exercising their bodies, and stimulating their minds to its fullest extent. At last these children are being classed as “human beings" and the shame is ours that it has not been achieved sooner. .
