Hand For the first time in several years, Balfour has had a swing band to provide the school with entertainment for various activities. We are fortunate to have with us a couple of talented and award-winning leads, Dave Yuen and Jim Lowey. In the rhythm section we have Mervin Lowey, Tom Stager, and Barry Simmons. The band holds a full group practise once a week in the music room. Thanks are to be extended to Miss Munns for her interest in establishing the band. We hope that before the end of the year we will be able to offer the student body a variety of performances. G. EARLE KETCHESON Representative MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA PHONES Office LA 2.5656 Res. LA 2-9670 Gammiitee Were the decorations ever terrific! Gosh, the auditorium looked great! Yes, these were just a few comments on the different decorations there have been for this year ' s dances, and it ' s all due to the wonderful committee headed by Orest Bazelwich. Decorating the auditorium for the dances is a terrific undertaking; for it requires a lot of time, co-operation, imagination, and muscle work on the part of the students who help. Here are just a few of the ideas used for the dances: For the Freshie Dance the auditorium was decorated on the Zorro theme. There was everything from masks on the lights to a life-size picture of Zorro himself, and of course, his trade mark, the sign of the Z . For the other dances there have been gaily-colored streamers, strung across the auditorium in many different variations. Also, coloured ticker-tape floating through the air. There was even a scene of a locker room set up on the stage with football players (paper) represented from all the schools. Something that was quite unique were the different lighting effects obtained, which accented the decorations. Keep up the good work, kids. Gammittee The dances this year, in my estimation, were a huge success, and it ' s due mostly to you, the students. You are to be commended on your won¬ derful support and co-operation. Without you, the dances would be a great big flop! I think it was evident that everyone who attended the dances enjoyed themselves. Something new this year, along with the usual type of dance, was the Mas¬ querade Dance and the Coke Dance. They were quite popular, and I hope they will be even more so if they occur again in the future. The Dance Committee deserves a great big thanks for all their hard work. These are the students who helped in the cafeteria at intermission, took money at the door, lugged cases of empty pop bottles up¬ stairs from the basement, and cleaned up all the mess that trailed behind after the rest of the students left the dances. Without these hard-working students that have been mentioned, there just wouldn ' t be a social life at Balfour. Thanks a million to all of you!
