(“Banquet The highlight of the Christmas season for the Collegiate was their annual Christmas banquet on the evening of December 22, after a grueling week of examinations. This was a very gay affair with every one coming in their best clothes and feeling the Christmas spirit for the first time, amid decorated trees and colored streamers. The students enjoyed a tasty Christmas supper, catered by the ladies of the Women’s Institute. After supper Mr. Camman spoke to the assembly and Terry Thompson sang two numbers. Each student received a twenty-five cent gift from another student and the teachers received gifts from the students. Mr. Heide closed the banquet with Christmas greetings and everyone left the school tired but happy. 54

MO, .LOY (IP TUS, FT ' B % The Skating Party On February 15, the students of the Altona Collegiate gladly assembled at the local arena for a skating party. After about an hour of pleasure skating a game of broomball was played—staff versus students. The ball was batted back and forth by unsteady players continually. Players found a seat rather unexpectedly at times. Of course when the game became too rough the referees also had to do their part. Some players were placed in the penalty box for half a second or so but before anybody knew it they were on the ice again, fighting for their team. The sides were fairly evenly matched all through the game. The ten¬ sion was held until the game ended with a final score of a one-all tie.
