THE GRADUATION DANCE THIS YEAR the oraduation dance was held on the twenty-ninth of January. A committee was elected in December, and we began work right away with the help of the TOGA representative, Mrs. Campbell, whom we would like to thank for her wonderful help. Our theme this year was A Midwinter Night ' s Dream . The decorations were inider the charge of Renee Morganti, and they were very well done, especially the unusual backdrop. I would like to thank those who worked on them, as well as Morgan ' s for supplying us with decorations. The weeks before were spent in a bustle of activity, especially for the committee. The work was certainly hard for our treasurer, Mary Puddington. A lot of the fun was putting up the decorations in the gym the afternoon before. Our long evening began with punch bowl parties given by Frances Knox and Cheryl Mason. Then we went off to the Kon Tiki for a very unusual and wonderful dinner. At last we arrived at the dance which we had been waiting for, for so long, but it quickly flashed by. Afterwards, there was a combined party given by Brigid Shaughnessy, Joan Crawford, and Diane Dawson, at which we danced to the music of the Rocket- tones. Later we went to a party given by Madeleine Palmer, Wendy Tomlinson, and Mary Puddington, where we listened to folk songs. In the small hours of the morning we dispersed to go either to a breakfast party or home. I hope next year ' s Sixth Form will enjoy their dance, and I would like to thank those who worked to make ours so much fun.

At the end of the Christmas term, Ross again came lirst in lUc Iota! number of points acquired, closely followed by Cumming. Fairley, Donald, and Barclay came third, fourth, and fifth respectively. The results of the second term are not yet totalled up, and they will probably be influenced somewhat by the Spelling Competition, in which Ross came first and Cumming second. Next term will afford many more chances for keen competition between the Houses: we will have Inter-House basketball and tennis matches, and of course the field day. The Houses would all like to thank the mistresses in charge of them for the help and hard work they have so willingly given: Miss Harvie of Ross, Miss Stansfield of Barclay, Miss Clegg of Donald, Miss Loewenheim of Cumming, and Mrs. Doupe of Fairley. They would also like to let the Red Cross and Fifth Form Representatives know that they appreciate the time and effort they have given to the Houses. The Red Cross and Fifth Form Representatives respectively are Jane Curwood and Mary Jane Henderson of Barclay, Nonie Nicholls and Martha Dorion of Cumming, Hilary Chalmers and Janet Johnston of Donald, He ather Marshall and Nancy Hughes of Fairley, and Diane Madill and Martha Davidson of Ross. Well done all of you! If everyone continues in the same spirit that she is in now, we should have some very good results at the end of the year. Vanessa Morgan, Head Prefect THE CHOIR HIS YEAR we have had a smaller choir than in previous years, but those who joined have been most faithful in attending practices. Trafalgar choir girls practise, under the direction of Dr. Herbert, for one hour on Wednesday afternoons, and early on Friday mornings. Their efforts were rciwarded at the Christmas Concert, and I am sure they will be rewarded once more at ihe May Concert. On behalf of llie choir and the school, I would like lo thank Dr. Herbert very much lor all lie has done again this y ar in directing the music life ol ihe S hool.
