MANAGING EDITOR PRODUCTION M.E.S.S. Screams, shouts of “I love Grade 12’s", running, hiding, and general pandemonium were experienced in our Mount Elizabeth Secondary School a week ago, Friday the 2ith of September, This day of confusion,. laughter and fun will be remembered i in the hearts of over Lhree hundred Grade 8's as their iaitroduction to the "great educational insitution of learning”. The Grade 8 boys were altired in the outlandish costume consisting of a bathing suit on hackwards and “stuffed”, a garter belt, nylons, high heels, bright red lipstick around their mouth, and a pony-tail on the top of their heads. The Grade 8 girls also had to comply to the demands of the Grade 12's by dressing themselves in workpanis rolled up on one Jeg, workboots, one sock, bikini lop, pantyhose on theirhead with a ribbon on each leg, and one very black eye. Bolh the girls and the boys had to carry candies, as well as a sign stating “WE LOVE GRADE TWELVES”. The Grade 8's were not the only ones subjected to the mad onslayght by the Grade 12's, New teachers and students were also ai the mercy of the graduating class. Students new to the school had to wear the same ‘‘get-up” as the Grade 8's of their sex, Teachers on the other hand wore costumes depicting hockey players, garbage men, cowboys and ‘plumbers... The Senier Girls’ ‘Councillor, Miss Fiddy dressed like a little girl and was equipped with an allday sucker. Mr. Joyce of the English department slicked his hair down, wore a black leather - jacket and boots. Reverting back to his childhood was Mr. “baby boy” Johnson of the Science and Commerce Department. Mr. Johnson wore a suit of long white underwear over which was a green diaper, made from a_ disposable garbage bag. He was also furnished with a soother, a rattle, and a bonnet.

Four other guilty GEORGE T. ENGLISH ASSISTANT EDITOR MARY OLSEN. ADVERTISING students, two boys and two girls had to pass an apple from between their neck and chin from one to another, if the apple dropped they had to start over. At the end of the afternoon, after more eggs were thrown,. and pies splattered around, the executioners looked far worse than any of their victims.

The display, which will be in the library for the next few weeks, is on loan from Mrs. Helge Reese Hansen of Kitimat, The work was done by her mother, Mrs. Catherine Reese of Lagt Kirkeby, Denmark. Mrs. Reese’s. work is very - well known in Denmark and is original in that, as far as is known, no other artist anywhere has been able to use her colours (mainly blues, greens, browns trimmed with gold) and materials in painting landscapes on. porcelain, 1959, at the age of 59 Mrs. Reese began her work as a hobby. It later turned into. quite a profitable business. A picture of a vase painted by her was once chosen by the Danish government for a calendar sent to embassies all over the worid. When Mrs. Reese died last year the secret of her technique was lost to the world, The work on-display at the library includes a cream and sugar set, several vases,. an ashtray, a large open bowl, a large pitcher, and several bowls with lids.
