Then at a tea one must have tea flogicl, sandwiches, cakes and the like. Irene Tonkin was in charge of this and did a great job with the help of some of the mothers and T.A.M.S. There are always joe-jobs to be donegso Kay White organized a dish-washing committee and did all the cleaning up. After the tea Mr. Vallis auctioned off the flowers to some of the fellows present. Mr. Harrison and Joyce Turner looked after the money and at the end of the tea the T.A.M.S. were able to donate 3170.00 to the Red Cross. Not bad, eh? P' The faster Ehall Dear Diary-April 3!47: Well, little chum, the big Easter Ball was held in the good old aud. tonight. As usual, Johnny and I went. It was great, complete with a floor show and all. Wonder if Garth Clkeyl Shaw is planning on modeling as career? Bill Jackson was the M.C. and as usual was right up on it. Pete's orchestra again supplied the music, and food, that which some people like Johnny never get enough of, was served in Room 22. Thanks go to Mr. Johnson for letting us smear crumbs all over his precious Social charts. Ullye 09121 'glgarn Dear Diary-April 18!47: Swing your partner 'round about, etc., or something. Gee, I'm still going around in circles! The reason: the T.A.M.S. celebrated the end of the club's year with a barn dance. First of all we had a Scavenger hunt-had to go all over town for the darnedest things-got back around 9:30, but another group won. They were Kay White, El Amos, Rey Papoe, Elaine Sang- ster, Cliff Steedman, Doug Folkins fthe watch-the-birdie-and smile manl, Don Fraser and Irvin Shore. They sure must have travelled to get back so early and with all their stuff. They Won such fancy prizes as cakes of Lifebuoy, little plastic cars, garters, etc. After a lot of square dancing, lunch was an- nounced by Orv. Kope, the M.C. What a let-down! We were served crackers Cnot even saltedl and water. So more dancing and watching of Jacquie Brinkhurst Know a blonde-at least her wig wasl and Hammy Cwatch it or the strap will breakl Hamilton. If you are muddled, I shall explain. Brink was wear- ing big boots, an old sack for a dress and a yellow wig with pigtails. Hammy wore his Cpardon the expressionl red flannel shirt and a pair of overalls held up by one buckle that came undone once. Finally, we did feast-and about time, too. Had hotdogs, punch and cake. Betty Gant, T.A.M.S. president, presented Miss Cobb, their leader, With a pair of pictures. After more dancing, we all were so worn out we were glad to stumble home to our little trundle beds, which reminds me I am tired. So, g'nite, Dear Diary. 59

Imps Win Title Alexandra High School's fast-stepping Imps captured the only championship of the year by taking the play-off for the City Basketball League. Coach Grant's stout-hearted quintet led the league race from the first whistle but had a spectacular struggle in the final before they emerged victors over the Ram- blers, led by veteran Jack Moyer, one of the soundest players ever developed at the High School. In the concluding game, with five seconds to go the score was tied. Bob Lindsay, cap- tain of the squad and sparkplug, was granted a penalty shot. The title depended on the outcome of the toss. Lindsay called time out to get his breath. Then the shot cameg it arched over the rimg it dropped ing the title was secure by a single point. Imps got to the final of the provincial high school B series but dropped two games to the Raymond team. The series showed the marked advance of basketball at Alexandra High School during the past few years. Raymond, however, has the advantage of much more inter-high school competition and superior playing accommodation. Raymond players start the game much younger than do Medicine Hatters.
