Each exchange trip student is paired with a . “twin” from Thornhill Jr. Secondary School. Some were weary from the long drive ta Win- nipeg, the flight out to Vancouver, and the two- hour time loss. Others resembled zombies he- cause they had been up late writing papers at the last minute the night before leaving, But according to Elizabeth Metzmeier, one of the host teachers, most could still muster the en- ergy to go down to 'the fairgrounds that night and pet sick on the rides, The group took in the sights and history of Heritage Park on Saturday before heading out for a few splashdowns at Mt. Layton Hotsprings. The students were to see Alcan and the beds, weeks, Kitimat hatchery on Monday and go on a forestry tour Tuesday, Today they are touring Prince Rupert, and tomorrow the tour the Nass Valley and the lava The Brandon students return home Friday and will host their Thornhill twins in a couple of ‘Journalists’ power’ fuels young writers By JuliAon Elkiw (age IZ) The Terrace Public Library was - the meeting place of the Cub Reporter’s Club recently.
