SOCIAL DOINS ' Our annual Hallowe’en Dance was held on October 3lst. The costumes worn by the students were most comical and original. It seems that everything was there but the kitchen sink. Later on in the evening the town wreckers came to the dance with their tall stories of how they filled the school locks with putty, gum, glue, and everything else they could think of. In spite of these interruptions, the dance carried on successfully with prizes for the best-dressed girl and boy going to Yvonne Stazicker and Ken Williamson. Most original costume was worn by Charlie Iverson, and most comical by Ronnie Trend The Christmas semi-formal went off in full swing and was well attended by both parents and students. The grade eleven class gave their time to decorate the auditorium for the occasion. They achieved the seasonal effect with pine boughs decorating the windows and a Christmas tree in the center of the floor. On both of these social events the school band honoured us with their appearance. Their ’music was well appreciated by everyone, whether it was ’hot’ or a slow sentimental waltz. Drama ftigltt You’re on, Said Mr. Roberts to Ron Who was the angel sent to learn What people want and what they yearn, A very serious play was Michael Not like Our Dream House, Where Lorna did everything but ride a cycle. Next we were taken back three hundred years, Where in Sherwood Robin green does peer At the Sherriff of Nottingham through the trees Who is trying to capture Robin who goes on sprees. Then whisked down the continent to Spain, We find Toreador trying his fame to gain. Everyone enjoyed this evening of plays, Even though held on the unluckiest of days.

Mount-Teen Club This past year has been full of fun for all Mount Teeners, and much of the credit goes to the executive; President...Ted Stafford, Vice President.. Ken Williamson, Secretary...Sylvia Thorne, Treasurer. Yvonne Stazicker, Social Convenor...Sally Walker, Jack Leavitt, Esther McBride, and Pat Henry, Advisor Mr. Bob McDermott. There were a variety of dances, including The Sadie Hawkins Dance, The Swimming Party and Weinner Roast, a Hard Times Dance, and many more. The most outstanding dance was our Annual Mount- Teen Formal, which was well attended by both members and parents. The theme of our Formal was Blue Moon The hall was beautifully decorated with white and blue streamers emanating from a large blue moon which was suspended from the centre of the ceiling. Entertainment was provided by Irene Glover who sang Blue Moon and a skit was put on by a few members of the Mount-Teen Club called Dangerous Dan MeGrew. Mr. Hutchin’s orchestra provided the pleasing music for this dance. Our achievement this year was not tangible but provided the kids with more social life than in previous years. We the executive have endeavored to show the younger members how to act at a dance and a so ? w t0 dance. I know we have succeeded because there is no longer a row of girls sitting down, while the boys are off talking somewhere, everyone is dancing, strange but true. , Thorne, Banff’s Teen Queen represented us in Pdmonton at the Western Canadian Teen Conference held from April ninth to the Twelfth. Besides Sylvia three other members also went they were Yvonne Stazicker Esther McBride and Jeff Pritchard. I’ve been told a good time was had by all. I’ll bet.

CUPID ' S CORNER It seems that wee cupid never takes a vacation, anyway, not around ol ' Banff High. Some romances bloom and die, while others just bloom—on and on. Of all the couples, we get the impression that Jeff and Sylvia are the most harmonious, then there are others like Sheila and Art....( 1 nough said). Carole and Roy are now hitting it off O.K. although we were somewhat confused about the other party . Jack, however, gets along with them all, one night Yvonne, and the next, Joanne. I hear Mildred Young and Doug T. are getting along all right too. Saw young Bruce Campbell stepping out with Marion Moffatt quite often lately. Must be tough on Sally W. to have Arthur so-oo far away. Poor lonely little gal! Stay home much Sal???? Of course Ted S. has to behave himself while Dort is in Calgary. He convinces her with his latest theme song Don ' t get Aroung Much Anymore , since he broke his leg. Earl Foster toots off to Exshaw every morning, noon, and night, it seems, to see that cute Connie McKenzie. That boy shore does get around. With Spring here and summer on its way, it is rather unpredictable as to what may happen to these poor fools.I mean, kids. School float The school ' 8 unique and colorful float ras indeed one of the highlights of the opening parade of the Banff Winter Carnival ' 53. The success of the float may be attributed to the hard work on behalf of the students and faculty, and the support of carnival-minded citizens. Mounted on the back of a truck was a tower to which were attached numerous placards naming various activities carried on in the school; hockey, track, curling, etc. To make the effect even more pleasing various students dressed in their sports outfits surrounded the float. It is generally felt tha.t the Banff High School ' s parade entry did much to add to the carnival atmosphere.
