Holy Angels School was very honoured and proud to welcome Mr. Richard Needham and eight other visitors from Toronto The Angel's Harp last Thursday and Friday. Richard and his group arrived by train at noon on Thursday. A luncheon was arranged by the Staff of Holy Angels at the School library. The group was then settled with their billets and spent the rest of the afternoon visiting the classes at the school. Richard spoke to the students of the importance of learning and the desire to want to learn. After school a ski-doo ride party was held. None of the guests from Toronto had ever been ski-dooing before, so this was great fun. An open meeting was held at the school during the early evening. Many teachers and parents dis~ cussed some of today's problems. No solutions were given but it was interesting to hear someone else's philosophy. A private reception was then held at the Parish Centre.
