St. Mary Immaculate students toured Quebec Despite rain and cold in Quebec, a bus tour showed us many of the high points of the old city. We visited Laval University and its famed Olympic swimming pool where entrance from the street is made through a psychedelically lighted tunnel with the illusions created by a kaleidoscope. By Mary Watts Richvale correspondent I just hopped off a train returning from a school trip to Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa with Grade 7 and 8 students from St. Mary Immaculate Separate School â€" just in time to say we all got back safe and sound in every limb, but maybe a little .foot- sore and weary after tramping for miles in visiting several historic buildings and landmarks. Interestihg architec- ture abounds on this campus. Our drive took us over the five miles of the Plains of Abraham, past the famed Citadel. We visited Lower Town and The Richvale Lions, with a membership of feWer than 30, has raised $1,000 and pledged another 81,000 toward the furnishing of a room in York Central Hospital. The Club, which meets the first and third Monday of each month in the Lions Hall, 31 Spruce Street, plans to launch a mem- bership campaign in the fall to draw in new members from the Richvale and Hillcrest communities. Pictured in the hospital, Lions’ President Scotty Masters (centre) shakes hands with administrator James Hep- burn after presenting the cheque. Patient Barbara Ryan seems to find the room very comfortable.

The students were greatly impressed by the old churches and the works of art throughout them, particularly in Notre Dame. On a walking tour of Quebec City souvenirs were purchased at curio shops and the Artists’ Lane, and visits to the wax museum and Diorama were made by those who were interested in the historic values represented. Due to an unavoidable late arrival in Ottawa (the train was two and one-half hours off schedule) we had to forego a tour of the Mint and War Museum in order to keepaan appointment at It was fortunately a sunny afternoon which gave beauty to the out- bursts of an early spring on Sussex Drive with its stately homes and em- bassies. Government House Trips to the Science and National Arts Centres were fully appreciated. and to wind up the trip there was a tour of the Parliament Buildings. We had luncheon with Minister of Housing Barney Danson, MP for the local riding of York North, in the Con- federation buildings. The students enjoyed chatting informally with him before going on the long hike to Laurier House. The contents of Laurier House were particularly interesting, including belongings of two former prime ministers who had lived there â€" Sir Wilfrid Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie King. One room has been furnished with the con- tents of the study of another former prime minister, the late Lester B. Pearson.
