Student Council Dances THE AT HOME The 1954 Etobicoke At-Home , again held at the Boulevard Club, was truly a memorable evening. 'An unusual buzz of excitement prior to February 26, and the unanticipated demand for tickets, were indications of a tremendously successful dance. On this special Friday night, almost five hundred guests made their way to the Club. They were received by Paul Bodrug, President of the Student Council, and Bev Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Durrant, Mrs. F. S. Spence, chairman of the Board of Education, and Mr. Spence, Mrs. R. A. Taylor, president of the Home and School Association, and Mr. Taylor, Mr. Cairns, Staff Advisor to the Student Council, and Miss Pat Cairns, Mr. J. Bedell, Staff Advisor to the At-Home com- mittee, and Mrs. Bedell, Anne Ferguson, chairman of the At-Home committee, and Don Simkins. It was the highlight of the evening when Mr. MacBeth proclaimed Glenna Hart Queen of Etobicoke . Admidst applause and congratulations Glenna was crowned by Mrs. MacBeth and presented with a bouquet of beautiful red roses and a huge panda bear. Bobby Gimby and his famed orchestra fumished marvel- lous music for dancing. Alex Read, the comedian well- known to many Etobians, provided the entertainment with his remarkable ability on the keyboard. Following intermission the patrons, board members and teachers, were served refreshments in a gaily deco- rated dining room . To Anne Ferguson, capable director of the At Home committee, to Helena Colburne and her art committee, and to all who helped make this year's At Home a dance to be remembered, our thanks. r At Home Committee- B. Muir, Mr. Bedell, S. Castor, D. Appert, W. Mowatt, A. Ferguson, N. Hunter. THE CHRISTMAS DANCE Mr. MacGregor, Pat Cunningham I -s THE SKElETON STOMP Etobicoke's annual Hallowe'en dance, the Skeleton Stomp, was held on October 30. Colourful decorations were provided by the Student Council art committee and the records played were Dick Bentham's best. A variety of dances with trick prizes as well as a cake eating contest added fun to the programme. The high spot of the evening was provided by four of our own E .C .l. students. Murray Allison on piano, Barry Wanell on bass, Ron Beer on harmonica and Rand Simpson and his drums, who gave out with arrangements that made the gym rock with stomping feet. Tom White as Master of Ceremonies did a swell iob, and the committee of Anne Ferguson, Anne Smellie, Gary Bemer, and Gerry Simpson as chairman, along with staff advisor Mr. Bedell, were happy to report that the dance was a success dancewise, and fun to plan 5' ' Zffgil I If ' fi , ig, . .1-a f.-fr A 1 -.4 .

THE SCIENCE CLUB Back: E. Istvan,B. Lindsay,A. Predko,A. Baxter,T. Luck- ing,R. Morrison,M. Wamer,M. Clapperton ,J . Domine Mr. Eubank. Front: J . Booker,B. Harvvood,D . Gregory, J. Ellis, G. Mills. The Science Club got off to a good start this year. Early in October the following executive was elected: Gordon Mills, president, John Ellis, vice-president, Bob Harwood, secretary, David Gregory, treasurer. We immediately plunged into the year's activities with lectures on luminescence, by Ed lstvan and Mike Clapp- erton, and x-rays, by Mr. Eubank. Malcolm Warner demonstrated the properties of Liquid Nitrogen and Al Predko demonstrated his radio, one he built himself, and told us what made radio tick. Two trips were under- taken in the fall term, one to the Maple Leaf Milling Company and the second to the Anaconda Brass Company. With the help of Science Club money and manpower, Al Predko built a Resistor Coil, which he demonstrated at the Test Tube Trot, the Science Club dance on Friday, January 22. Bob Lindsay built a Zisla Coil which we unveiled at Variety Night. Both pieces of apparatus put on o spectacular show and the boys are to be com- mended for their fine work. Should the last half of the year measure up to the first, this season will have been an active and informative one for the Science Club. ORGANIZATION DANCES G.A.A. GAMES NIGHT The G.A.A. 's Fall dance, the gala Sock Hop, was held in October. A volleyball game between the Girls' Senior Team and the Grads highlighted the evening's entertainment and for added enioyment, there was badminton and volleyball for all. Eaton 's Band Box provided the tops in music for the dancers. Prizes galore were given away-record albums for those who donned the flashy socks, and records for the winners of the spot and elimination dances. We of the G.A.A. all hope that you had a ten'ific time at our l953 Games Night. KICKAPOO KAPERS The G.A.A. 's big dance of the year was held approp- riately on Friday, November l3th . That night the gals escorted their beaux, Dogpatch style, to the Kickapoo Kaper . The evening began with square dancing to an old time caller. Later on there was dancing to the smooth music of Don Masterson's Band . For refreshments, cider 'n donuts were served, in keeping with the atmosphere . The entertainment was a Dogpatch skit fapologies to Al Cappl with Sandra Lorimer as Daisy Mae and Don Lawrence as L'il Abner. We think it was one of the best Sadie Hawkins dances ever!
