SOCIAL COMMITTEE Executive: Rosemarie Squire, Jane Reed, David Baird, Margaret Shaw. The Social Committee, in keeping with the Aldershot tradition, was responsible for a number of firsts this year. The Committee sponsored the first senior Commencement Dance, the first night basketball dance, and the first formal Spring Prom. The theme of the prom was Mardi-Gras ' 65. Streamers, balloons, ticker-tape and giant masks transformed the gymnasium into a kaleidescope of colour. The reception line, the toasts in the cafeteria and the great music of Earl Ray all made it a memorable evening. The Committee was responsible for drawing up a new set of rules for school dances. Aldershot students now enjoy the privileges of basketball dances in the gym, and may invite students from other Burlington schools. This year the Social Committee was the largest organization in the school with a membership of over forty students. Barb Wice was in charge of decorations, Marg Shaw headed the refreshment committee and David Baird and Stuart Beal were our chief techni- cians. A special thanks goes to all the teach- ers for making the social activities of the year possible, and especially to Mr. McCol- lom and Mr. Cantlon for their contributions.
