SOCIAL COMMITTEE Left to Right: Mary Jo Kelly, Chris Finley, Chairman; Rod Dale, Susan Thomas. The success of a school year largely depends upon the students who strive to make it so. This year at Aldershot has been successful to say the least, as proven by Ald-0-lympics and H.M.S. Pinafore, to men- tion only two events. These are both examples of students working together as a group and deriving plea- sure from their efforts. The social committee this year has been such an organization. Under the super- vision of Mr. McCollom and Mr. Walsh, and with the co-operation of the Students ' Council, its forty-five members have worked together on many of this year ' s school dances. At commencement in the Fall, Sue Thomas, Mary Jo Kelly and Rod Dale, the three co-ordinators of the committee, organized the annual Graduation Dance . The girls ' gymnasium was decorated in green and gold streamers to remind the grads of their days at Aldershot. Shields of green and gold containing the grad- uates ' names decorated the walls. With music supplied by Laurie Walker and his band, the graduates attend- ed their last Aldershot dance. Again, in the Spring, the Social Committee organized the annual Spring Prom. Many weeks of hard work and effort went into preparation for the night of April first. But it was well worthwhile. The gymnas- ium was transformed into a castle in the days of Camelot . Silver knights and beautiful ladies decorated the walls, while a false ceiling of red streamers provided a medieval atmosphere. Earl Ray and his eight- piece orchestra played behind a setting of silver castle turrets and red and silver flags. A red throne mounted on a silver platform was the setting for the crowning of the Queen of Camelot and her Prin- cess at twelve o ' clock. The members of the student body nominated six girls — Beth Waite, Joyce Sped- aliere, Mary Ann Norton, Diane Lees, Marnie McKee, and Chris Finlay, for this position. Chosen on the basis of poise, personality, and participation in school affairs, Diane Lees was crowned Princess and Marnie McKee Queen . These girls are two of our best school citizens and well deserve the honour be- stowed on them. Due to the efforts of the Social Committee every girl who attended Camelot will have this evening to remember as the climax of the school dances for ' 65 — ' 66. 72
