DEEP RIVER 1980 On Sunday, April 20th, the grade 13 and part of the grade 12 Physics and Chemistry classes boarded a bus and headed for Deep River, Ontario, and the nuclear reactor. After a long bus trip we arrived in the blooming metropolis of downtown Deep River and the hotel. We had the night off to walk the main strip; the favorite hangouts were the one and only snack shop and the movie theatre at which we all saw the movie Ten. We were up bright and early the next mor- ning for a long but fascinating day at the reactor. Our guide succeeded in making most of us understand how the reactor works, and cleared up some of its controversial issues for us. We then all went back to our bus and headed for our new hotel in Quebec. We then had another wild night on the town, except this city was big enough for all of us to go in a different direction and not run into each other - a refreshing change from Deep River. On Tuesday, 22nd we toured the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, and listened to Mr. Crombie speak on some important issues of the time. It was an extremely interesting and in- formative trip. Thank you, Mrs. Davidovac and Mrs. Shaver.

Would you like to dance? No thanks. Oh. Can I get you something from the Rotunda? Sure. Coming? Yup. The food was great. The punch was amazing. Spiked? I hope not, the teachers had some. Kate Wiley and Jill Palmer did a good job with the food. Sheila Coulter did a great ticket design; the tickets looked really good. They must have, for Sue LeFeuvre did a great job as a salesman. Did she sell three or four? It must have been death of a salesman. The dance contests and hoola hoop contests went over well. The winners of each were deserving of the honor. The disc jockey was not all that bad. He was able to vary the songs of his six records reasonably well. I think the people that showed up had a good time. At least, I hope they did. Would you like to go out? Sure. Great. Happy endings for all. Beverley Hicks-Lyne P.S. I hope this year ' s grade 12 ' s have better luck with their dance. After being inspired by the famous Zolten and Eunice skits in prayers, many of us dared to make the devastating phone call, ex- tending an invitation to the B.H.S. Formal. Next on the list was to write a correct acceptance to Miss Roach ' s invitation. For many unlucky people this step was repeated quite a few times. Despite all these terrifying and careful preparations, the dance proved to be a great success. It was held on March 1st, 1980 at the RCYC Carleton Club. Many Branksomites and their dates could be seen dancing on badminton courts - what an ex- perience. We boogied, waltzed and polkaed to the orchestra sounds of The Canadians, who played everything from Muzak to Donna Summer. The styles included Laura Ashley, Laura Ashley, and the ever popular Laura Ashley, and the black tie did wonders for the school boys. The dance was a lot of fun and we all had a great time. As the dance came to an end, people dispersed to their cars to drive to the un- forgettable breakfast parties. Lets do it again next year, okay?! Kathryn Montgomery and Lisa Carroll Last year, in May, the Perfects and Clan Chieftains held the year ' s only open dance. They were well organized due to the incredible force of C.K. Purks, who was in charge. The theme for the evening was based on the idea of a European holiday. The grads had a French cafe in the Rotunda, and smaller tables set up outside as well. The gym was decorated with posters and student-painted murals of scenes of Europe. The dress code was also original, and everyone was asked to be white, bright, or tight. Most people did follow this code, and there were incredible combinations of bright colours in all shapes and sizes making the evening more colourful and fun. The music for the event was supplied by a disc jockey. There was a wide variety of music, satisfying the varied tastes of most of the dancers. Throughout the night, there were slide shows made up of all sorts of slides of different European holidays. We all will remember the Prefect ' s Rock Lobster skit, and it was obviously enjoyed as the last song of the evening was Rock Lobster. The dance was a great success and the evening was enjoyed by all. Victoria Graham 12
