It is interesting to note that some of the actors in this little drama suffered considerable physical damage and I am sorry to report that many had to be discarded with heads or arms off, or their insides falling out. I re- fer of course, to the dolls and not the students! WW WWW (t. mmmxmmmmmmmmaa mkma‘ml‘ammmmmt‘u~~ RICMOND HILL \_,\.\..\. Inside the school. more grade nine‘s were to be seen crawling along the halls dragging dolls with them. While this might not sound too much fun. it should be renmmbered that these boys and girls 'were dressed in short skirts â€"â€" and they \v'ere crawling back- wards!

They were in the undignified pos- ition of being on hands and knees pushing mothballs down the driveway with their noses. They were receiving considerable vocal advice (did I say “Advice”?) from crowds of spectators and discip- linary supervision from a burly grade 13 student whose job was to ensure that motlibalis did not reach the end of the driveway by surreptitious finger flicking! {uvmfiwv WWW > '59 Car Prices Are Up!

For the students of Richmond Hill High School. Friday, Sep- tember 26, must have glawned to a wide variety of thoughts and feelings. For the grade nine stud- ents. thoughts of “I wonder what's in store for me today." For grade 10 and others not in the know, "I wonder what's in store for them today”. and for those in the know, “We'll make the little so and 50's remember this day for a long time to come." For Friday was Initiation Day! ' Part of the initiation proceedings last Friday for Grade 9 students ofRichmond Hill High School was the eating of their boxlunches with the “help” of a spoon.

The grade nines became fully fledged mem- bers of the ‘High School and would be» asked to suffer no more indignities of this type. Undoub- tedly a good time was had by all and there were no casualties oth- er than the dolls mentioned ear- lier in this report._ Other incidental items of the initiation were that if the girls hair was showing beneath their berets, their “masters” put it in place with waving lotion and sprayed perfume (?!!) on them, which combined with picking up twenty stones and putting their hat back on, was in some cases rather a messy do! All grade nine lunches were eaten with spoons (just try eating sandwiches or cookies with a spoon!) and all fallen leaves in the school grounds had to be counted. All this took place before classes began for the day and created a good atmosphere for the rest of the day.. Between classes, the initiators led a life of ease because the grade nine "slaves" were made to carry the books of their "masters". Punish- ment was meted out to one grade nine in the form of a dunking in the shower. All good clean (wet) fun of course. The newly elected president of the student council was carried everywhere in state on a litter born by four grade nine stalwarts and the fact that he was unceremoniously dumped into a ditch on one occasion was purely accidental!

A delightful and delicio’us sup- pg.“ was provided for the members The Council then proceeded to consider the ordination of the pastor. Mr. Irvin was ihtroduced by Deacon Brown, and subse- quently gave the story of his con- version, his call to the ministry, and his doctrinal statement of faith. A question period followed, after which the council withdrew to consider a motion for ordinat- ion. It was moved an‘ passed that Pastor Irvin be ordained to the Baptist ministry. The meeting then adjourned. After a brief devotional per- iod led by Deacon George A. Brown, Rev. Wm. Stanley of Christie St. Baptist Church, Toronto. was chosen as Moderator of the Recognition and Ordinat- ion Councils. Rev. D, Whitelaw, of Kitchener Park Baptist Church Toronto, was chosen as Clerk of the Councils. Mrs. W. N. Price, Clerk of ‘the church, read the motion previously passed by the Ichurch to call the counzils, and Mr. T. W. McFadzean gave a his- torical sketch of the church, stres- sing the growth that had taken place in three years. Deacon S. Reynolds gave the financial and doctrinal statements of the church. After a proper period of questioning, the motion was mov- ed and passed that the church be officially recognized as. a duly organized and constituted New Testament Church. On Tuesday, September 23, a ln‘ge congregration' met at the Richmond Hill Baptist Church. 50 Wright St., at 2 pm. “For the purpose of considering the re- cognition of the church as a duly organized New Testament Church. and for the purpose of considering the advisability of setting apart Pastor Robert W.

S. Thomson, representing the Rich- mond Hill Recreation Committee, who welcomed him as the first president f this new club spon- sored by the recreation commit- tee. Mr. Plewman for many years has been very active on the com- mittee for the new Christian Edâ€" ucation Building just completed by the United Church in the Hill. Mr. Plewman said he had been hesitant in accepting the nomin- ation for he felt it inconsistent with his policy of refusing office since his retirement eleven years ago. as he felt office holding was for younger men. He feels he is the oldest member of the Senâ€" ior Citizens’ Club. "If the or- ganization is to thrive it needs an active head. I will do what 1 can to get things going," he said in his vigorous way.

Introduced by Vice President Karl Kinzinger, School Area No. 1 Markham and Vaughan. the speaker first briefly sketched the history, progress, and objectives of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Mental Health Assoc- iation, and suggested the utmost coâ€"operation from one and all. Prefacing his main remarks, the speaker stated that as so many people had asked, “What is men- tal xhealth?", he considered that the most adequate definition would be, "Nobody, at all times, has perfect mental health”, and represented by the “grey” on a “black-to-white” scale. “65 to 100 â€"â€" the best years of a man's life“, was one of the as- suring and varied statements made by Mr. J. D. Parks, B.A., D.D., executive director of the Ontario Mental Health Associa- tion, when, as guest speaker, he ‘addressed the O.P.S.M.T.F.

Every- body helps eaeh other in the process. This season also, it is planned to have regular family skating nights when the members may bring their families to skate; Those “seniors” who like to skate and find enjoyment (and healthful excerisel in learning some of the simpler dance pat- terns, or in progressing to the more advanced dances are in- \.'ted to join.
