EDUCATION SOCIETY "9"“

by Gerald Mama

I guess it's about time that we let all you hardworking Education students kmw what's going on in the Education Society. Well, we had our election on Oct. 5. Rose _ Mary Planing is the new President and Gerald McKenna the Secretary- Treasurer.

We are in poor financial straits. As a matter of fact we're broke or were broke. We ran a pub on Wednesday of Fall Fest and made about $20 and we also have a few dollars left over following our out—door education weekend at Oak Acres after all the bills were paid.

A lot of work and plan— ning went into the week- end. We would like to thank: Prof. Ed. MacDonald for all his organization and planning and finding the resource people (sorry you COuldn't make it Friday night); Prof. Campbell for caning out to the camp on Friday; Maureen Sinnott for finding the 12 canoes,

3O paddles and life jackets, and also the canoe instructors; Rose Mary Planing for hauling the canoes, paddles and jackets to camp; Beryl Macleod for looking after the gifts and meals; Blair Thompson for the entertainment on Friday night; Anita Murphy and Donna Connally for financial arrangements, and especially John, who took us on the night hike, procured films and set up the Orienteering. Hope— fully we haven't missed anyone. If we did, thanks anyway.

The weekend started Friday afternoon at 3:00 when we left the Educ— ation Building for Oak Acres. Most people

Team #2 won with a touch- down in the last minute of the game. The touchdom resulted frcm a pass frcm Q.B. Jim Gillis to‘all- star center Francis Fagan (who had to miss part of the canoeing the next morning due to health reasons) .

The game ended in tine for dinner. The night hike started at twilight. We walked for what seemed like miles through the woods and then returned to camp along the shoreline. _ All in all. it was a pretty good time, except for those blinding flash bulbs , but most of the people learned something about outdoor education.

Films on orienteering and practice with compasses and maps took up most of ' the first two hours back at camp. This was followed by a bonfire in front of one of the cabins which ended when the rain started . The social evening that was planned turned out to

to the rain outside. laurie Tirone, Sister Debbie and Mike DibKinnon kept the singing going (with a few improvised verses from 'Ibm Haywood) until the party atmosphere got warmed up a bit, at which time Maureen Sinnott and Blair Thompson added their vocal talents. Sister Debbie kept every- one in stitches with her Ruth Buzzie (I wonder if Prof. Campbell received his phone call) . Miss Sinnott then organized the teams for charades. I'm, afraid she
