Square Dancing (Gary Miller, 9C) It seems that Balmoral has caught on to the fad that is sweeping the country. Of course, how could we help but ' get hep” to it with a principal such as we have. I think the credit for making square dancing in Balmoral so popular should go to Mr. Byran, and I’m sure everyone else thinks so too. Since Mr. Bryan started teaching square dancing it seems that the other schools had to follow along, as Western and Crescent both have classes in which the pupils can learn these new dances. There was a square dancing club the latter half of the year and it had a full roster of members. It proved to be very popular. Under Mr. Bryan’s leadership we learned such dances as Dive for the Oyster, Forward and Back, Texas Star, Grapevine Twist, and Duck and Dive. Besides square dances we learned folk dances such as Varsouviana (Put Your Little Foot), Black Hawk Waltz, and Narcissus. These dances were also a lot of fun. Balmoral had a team entered into the Mac-a-bee Hop. We didn ' t win anything, but we had a good time. The team consisted of, Nina and Lorna Shoults, Peggy MacGregor, Pat Peck, Dennis Christie, Laurie Merkley, Cliff Wylie and Gary Miller. Some noons if you come early you can see the assembly hall full of Grades Sevens, Eights and Nines learning new square dances. The Home and School also has caught on and they have a dance every two weeks with large crowds attending. The Grade Nine Social, ' ‘Barnyard Shuffle”, was the success of the year. It was strictly Old Time. It was more fun than a picnic and everyone was dressed old time, with the girls wearing flowing calico dresses and print cotton skirts. The boys wore cowboy hats, blue jeans, and plaid shirts. Plays (Joyce Corsiatto, 9F) Throughout the year there have been several plays presented by the various Grade Nine drama classes. 9A (Girls)—Presented the ‘‘Spinsters’ Convention”. It was put on at 4 p.m. for all students and in the eveiV ' .ng for the public. There were good audiences both times and the girls did a splendid piece of work with the play. 9B—Presented very successfully to the Senior Assembly, ‘‘Elmer and The Love Bug”. They studied two other plays, ‘‘The Black Widow” and “My Cousin From Sweden”, but were unable to stage these. 9B—Entertained their home rocm with ‘Wildcat Willie’s Lucky Number” and ‘‘The First Shave”. They also presented for the enjoyment of the Senior Assembly, ‘‘Jerry Sees the Gorilla”. 9C—Presented “Wildcat Willie” for the Intermediate Assembly but were unable to finish, ‘‘Phillip For Short”. 9C—Senior Assembly enjoyed the presentation of “Airman’s Forty- eight ”, by this class. The Elementary Grades saw “Wildcat Willie Takes a Tumble”. Among the plays not completed were, “Have You Had Your Operation?” and “Wlio Gets the Car Tonight?” 9F—“Paul Ducks the Dentist”, was produced for the Senior Assembly and enjoyed by all. “Wildcat Willie and the Bearded Lady” was presented to an after-four audience. Time did not permit the production of “Our Dream House”. 9F—The Grade 9F Class enjoyed the presentation of “Buddy Answers An Ad”. Other plays worked uoon by this group but not produced were: “The Great Allowance Battle”, “Buddy”, and “Elmer”. 52
