(Photo by Barbour.) :Charles Howitt Pupil Enjoy Trip Pupiis‘ Trip to Ottawa ,‘A group of 86 grade 7 and 8 students of T.S.A. No. 1, Marly- ham headed for Ottawa 9; game fl) and wore fascinates}, next day to hear Finance, Minister G0,. on defending his budget in "' ‘House 0i.-€‘ommons. with all the « . ant fireworks. The chil en were fascinated with the spectacle and were certain- ly impressed with the fervour with which this country is run, it a trifle startled at the desk- thumping and so on. '. The group stayed at the Bea- con Arms Hotel in Ottawa and were supervised by 11 adults, Supervising Principal E. Sand. Principal L. Evans of Thornlea School, who was in charge, S. Myers and Mrs. Van Loon of 18th Avenue School. G. Learn and Miss C. Ropac of Wood- land School, K. Kinzinger and Mrs. B. Lambert of Bayview Glen, and A. I". Martindale. Mrs. A. MacNeil and J. West- lake of Henderson Avenue School. As well as seeing the House In session. the children visited the mint, the archives. the war museum and other points of interest. Mr. Peter Kurita of Rich- vale Public School also had a group of grade 8 stud- ents on a similar tour and took several of the Mark- ham students with his own group on a visit to the Japanese embassy. The children were taken on a bus tour of the city, saw the residences of the governor gen- eral, the prime minister and the leader of the opposition. They took time off, of course. and enjoyed shopping as well as a dip in the Chateau Laurier pool. To enable the students to get the most out of their trip there; was considerable classroom preâ€" paration. as well as a lecture ,on deportment to ensure that they would know how to be- have in public places. A committee of teachers had prepared a comprehen- sive eight-page mimeo- graphed brochure incorpo- rating pages of questions and explanatory text on various aspects of Ottawa and the government build- ings. A lot of work was, done in this booklet prior to the trip, so the children would have some idea what to look for. and further work was done on their re- turn. T04 , Ottawa at engifie pulled the train, 25 dlff€’;ent occupations connected Wm". a railroad. what training is necessary for each occupation and how much does each job pay. Virtually every subject was worked into this series of questions. The chil- dren were instructed to find out the cost of both a return and a one-way ticket and cal- culate the percentage saved by a return ticket; to find the dis- tance from Toronto to Ottawa and calculate the cost of go- ing by car, after finding how many miles per gallon of gas their family car uses. One whole series of questions the children were required to answer dealt with the Rideau waterways, the date of building of the Rideau canal, its original purpose and cost. and who paid for it. How much more interesting this trip must have been made for these youngsters when they had definite things to look for, the sight of which brought vividly alive to them the pages of their usually dry history and geography books. The trip was also made the occasion for a lesson in pram tical economics as many of the classes held various fund-rais- ing activities during the year to help pay the $26 per child cost of the trip. The board members and staff of T.S.A. No. 1. Markham. are indeed to be commended in making this trip truly an ad- venture in learning. iSt. Paschal Baylon Graduation Breakfast ,‘For 46 Students classroom Graduating students of St. iPaschal Baylon parish, attend- ing Roman Catholic or public elementary schools.‘ gathered together to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, offered ‘June 23.
