GRADUATION DANCE The Graduation Dance was held this year on January 24th, 1969, naturally a stormy and snowy night. Mr. and Mrs. D.N. Macleod held a pre-dinner punch party at the Chateau Champlain, which was greatly enjoyed by the Graduates, their Escorts and the Staff. Dinner followed in the adjacent Huronia Room. After these festivities, all adjourned to The Dance at the School. The Committee in charge of the dance had, with great detail, decorated the gym in a nautical theme. Music supplied by The Paisley Rain Group bombed the usually staid gym to life. After the dance, a round of parties was held, which terminated in the wee small hours of tlie morn- ing. The hosts and hostesses responsible for the delightful parties were Mr. and Mrs. C. Regular, Mr. and Mrs. G.J. Fletcher, and Mr. and Mrs. A.H. Cole. The success of a Graduation Dance goes back many months; it includes tlie raising of funds through bake sales, volleyball games between the Staff and the Prefects, sale of cards and chocolates; also the help given in many ways by the Old Girls ' Association. The memories of such a night wUl long be treasured by the Graduating Class and will be cherished in times to come. THE STUDENTS ' FEDERATION Do you like doing sometliing for other people? Would you like to display your art work, or plan a dance? What about donating those books you used to read? As you may realize, the Federation has had another busy year. Starting early in September gave our main project, the Study Centre, a good beginning. This year, Traf ' s volunteers. Heather McCormell, Liane Schachter and Janet Blane were kept going with field trips to libraries, movies, and skating rinks. To increase our community service projects, about fifteen students helped in the Library and Re- source Rooms of Royal Arthur Elementary School. This is a new idea, aimed at helping the children of Little Burgundy . A similar sports program will be in action in the near future, thus involving more Federation students in doing sometliing for someone other than themselves. Drama festivals, a ski trip, and anotlier dance, with a band, are all in the offing. Besides tliese acti- vities, there have been Debate Work Shops and Book Drives, while Traf ' s Ann Roberts and EUzabeth WUUams are turning into journalists and editing the Purpose . Such are the programs the Federation carries on, but still they appear to take in only part of the student bodies of the Federation schools. More ideas, more support and more time will serve to make the Federation a truly important and beneficial student body. YOUNG PEOPLE ' S CONCERTS Trafites were again exposed to good music this year through the visits to Place des Arts for the Young People ' s Concerts. Two series of concerts were offered in the Salle Wilfrid PeUetier and in the Theatre Maisonneuve for both high school and elementary students. These concerts were under the direction of M. Franz-Paul Decker, who devoted himself to arousing in students an appreciation of symphonic music. Each concert proved to be most enjoyable and rewarding for all, and made a very relaxing afternoon.
