Wayne Murton '60 f if +1 TRACK AND F!ELD DANCE The Track and Field dance was held on Saturday, September 26 at the Aggie School. The Hi-Five Orchestra was in attendance inspiring all the Cool Cats to some fancy footwork. George Young was our genial and capable Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Because of the unfavorable weather, the Track and Field Meet was not held Saturday, making the presentation of awards at the dance im- possible. A lunch consisting of ice cream, jambfusters and cokes Was served. The dance certainly expelled the disappointment which the rain had brought. Many thanks to the convenors, Bob Latimer and Marilyn Fenton. Connie McDonald '62 One hundred x and twenty-one ,.

ad One hundred and twenty .,... .-,. 5 . FROSH FROLIC The annual Frosh Frolic, held on Saturday, September 19, in the Composite High School Auditorium, climaxed a week of tumultuous activity for our Ftreshie crop. It offered them the first chance to discard their oldafashioned finery and return to the twentieth century. A reception line consisting of the Senior Stick, Bob Melving -the Lady Stick, Regina Armstrongg the Dean of Women, Mrs. Cowang the Residence Master, Jack Fotheringham, and the chaperones for the evening, Dr. and Mrs. Perdue, and Mr. and Mrs. D. R. MacKay, greeted the large and enthusiastic crowd. The gala event was begun with the tra- ditional Blue and Gold March , led by Dr. and Mrs. Perdue. This was followed by the solemn but impressive coronation of the Freshie Royalty, Elma Massin and Brian Fos- ter, by our acting President, Dr. Perdue. Danc- ing then continued to the varied and enjoyable music -provided by the Brandon Syncopators. The proud possessors the lucky tickets-Gary Martin and Jean Yeo-:had the honor of d-anc- ing with the Freshie monarchs. Lunch was served at 10 p.m. and was im- mediately followed by the long awaited, much anticipated, trial of several deserving Frosh. We were at once transported to the Roman Empire and the court of the notorious Nero, who confronted the barbarian Frosh with their offences and sentenced them to punishment fitting to their -rank and behaviour. The festive mood of the evening was en- hanced by the carousel-like decor of the Audi- torium. Thanks go to Myra Johnston and crew for their time and effort. An innovation of the evening was the mys- terious Osculator machine. I'm sure anyone taking the test was fully rewarded by the results. The evening was concluded in the traditional manner with Hail Our College and the vari- ous class yells, not to mention the destruction of streamers. I would like to thank my co-cornvenor, Merv Letts, who so capably acted as master -of cere- monies and who literally kept 'the show on the road. ' Merv joins me in thanking all our helpers who contributed so much to the success of the evening. A special mention must be given to the Sigma Mu, and to Anne Lane amd Dave Hitchins, who were responsible for the Cor- onation and Trial, respectively. We also ex- tend our -thanks to our chaperones and pat- rons, Mr. and M-rs. MacKay and Dr. and Mrs. Perdue fo-r their kind co-operation. Janet Mooney '61

- CLASS OF '60 PARTY On Tuesday, November 23, 1959, it was mild ibut snowing slightly, when the grand and glorious class of '60 .gathered for its first olass party of the year. We journeyed -to Min- nedosa, where we were ig-reeted very cordially by our hosts. We then sat down to a bounti- ful meal of spare-ribs, with strawberry short- cake for dessert. After Bob finished his fourth serving, we left. Upon arriving 'back in Brandon we ad- journed to -the Hut to watch TV -and to dance. The dance was made open to all College students with preference being given to stu- dents of the fairer sex of which our class -has a minority. Many thanks for a most enjoyable evening, are extended to Bob Simmons, our social con- venor, John Lockie, our class president, and to Mr. and Mrs. Thordarson, who acted as our chaperones. -A' 'A' -K CLASS OF '61 PARTY On October 22, the dauntless members of the illustrious class of '61 braved snow and sleet to attend the fowl supper at Basswood. After a sumptuous meal, the class most gra- ciously fulfilded the request of the Basswood- ites 'by vocalizing the college song and the class yell. The vocalizing continued in a more pronounced form on the bus trip home. The evening was brought to a most enjoy- able -conclusion with an invigorating dance in the Hut , Such innovations as the onion dance and the Mexican Hat -dance added spice to the evening. Lunch was served for those who had any vacancy left after the sulpper. Social convenors Ruth Brown and Bob Cole- man are- to be commended on producing one of the 'best parties the class of '61 has ever experienced. Janet Mooney '61 if if -k CLASS OF '62 PARTY On Wednesday, October 14, 1959, the class of '62, largest class in Brandon College, held their annual class party in the form of a din- ner and dance. Three chartered buses left the One hundred and twenty-two JL. . College for Hamiota at 5 'p.m., filled with ex- uberant '62 members, the College Com-bo, and Dr. and Mrs. Lasikin as chaperones. Despite the abundance of snow on the roads and a snow plow that had to be moved, We finally arrived at the Hamiota School. After we had assembled in the school audi- torium, and Ron Keeler, class president, had restored order, Don Axford asked the bless- ing. Then the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cana- dian Legion, Hamiota, pro-ceeded to serve a delicious repast of baked ham, and scalloped potatoes with all the trimmings. Several toasts were given. Ron thanked -the ladies for the lovely dinner and a hearty round of applause supported him. While the auditorium was being cleared and the girls were making minor repairs , the College Combo began to prepare for their role in attending our class party. For the next several hours, we danced to the smooth and lively strains of the college orchestra. At the end of our da-nce, we sang Hail Our College , and gave the yells of '62, Arts and Science, in order of their importance. With regrets but with cherished memories of a 'highly successful party, we boarded the buses for the all too short trip home. Before we had time to think twice, Brandon College loomed up in the darkness. The Clark Hall girls were in on time! A vote of thanks is in order for those who made the '62 party such a-n overwhelming success. The memfbers of the class will never forget that evening. Marion McGregor '62 if if -x CLASS OF '63 PARTY The class of '63 -held its first birthday party in the form of a fowl supper at Alexander. After meeting at t-he College we moved en masse to Alexander United Church where the Ladies' Auxiliary served a delicious din- ner. Gera-ld Butler, class president, was M.C. After an inspiring pep talk by Rah Rah Rogers, better known as Mr. Hannah, Honor- ary President of the Class of '63, we returned to the Hut for a dance to the music of the College Combo. Many thanks go to Leslie Findlay and Dave Bergman, our capable social convenors. Joan Myers '63 ' l.-..,-..A
