During a recent trip there, a inemiber of the Free Press staff discovered that lighits ini the hialls are turned off when the first period begins and are left off uintil the last period ends. Not to worry. the students don*t have trouble finding tlieir wav to class nor do thev bumip thieir heacts against lockers when looking for books.

The Jones' family party was 'a success .. .everyone who attended talked about it for weeks. The Ontario Safety League asks that you follow the Jones plan': First a Friend, then a Host.
