My 1 ,fr5'2,iii'?T: WINTER CARNIVAL The Winter Carnival is one of several ideas that have originated at C.A.S.S. and are now being copied by the other two Wood- stock high schools. The Winter Carnival usually provides a week of activities amidst an otherwise dull and dreary winter, and the I969-70 Carnival was as enioyable as any we have had. Some of the activities that the Winter Carnival Committee planned were the erection of snow sculptures, a tug-of-war, a hockey game, a tricycle race, and the selection of a Snow Queen. In the hockey game the senior students ran their record to 2.0 over the teachers by winning by a 2.0 score fthe students also defeated the teachers in the floor hockey game at the C.A.S.S. Party.l The I969-70 Snow Queen was Ruth Hipperson of l3B, who was crowned at the dance on Saturday evening of Winter Carnival week. This dance Featured J. R. Flood, a heavy rock group From St. Catherines. The dance was ci fit highlight to an interesting week.

THE CASS PARTY The College Avenue Secondary School staff have thrown parties for the students for seven years now, but in the I969-70 school year the C.A.S.S. Party was a bigger success than ever before. This party is always the first social event of theyear. its purpose isto give the students iparticularly those who are new to the schoolj an opportunity to become better acquainted with the teachers. It also gives the teachers an opportunity to make fools of themselves. The format was the same as usual this year. The games, which the teachers oper- ated in the halls for about an hour, were classified under this year's theme space , Following these games a floor hockey game was scheduled in the gym, the combatants being the teachers and the Grade Thirteen Tijuana Taxi Squad . TheMexican Students won by a lopsided 5-2 score in a game that the teachers fsome of whom seemed to be past their primej will remember for along time. A dance was held in the gym following the game, while refreshments were served in the cafeteria. A large crowd, as well as a very good selection of music, made the dance successful. V After the party all the students agreed that the teachers should be commended for this time and effort that they spent onthe C.A.S.S. Party this year. If the students' enjoyment is any indication of the party's success, their time was certainly well spent. CHRISTMAS DANCE Hundreds upon hundreds of feet of tin foil masquerading as icicles and a gigantic ten foot snowman that changed colour when it got in the way of a revolving colour-wheel adorned the C.A.S.S. dance hall floor. Despite the fact that most Santa Clauses aren't particularly funny, the Christmas Dance had one that was: a tall, skinny, extroverted character who gave away a Polish flag to some random immigrant in the audience, a pairof binoculars to Mr. Blake iso thatP..l.B. can see clearacross the front lawn and observe cigarette-smoking individualsashe adds names to his block notebookj, and some French mistletow, and a Christmas kiss to Miss Morr- ison . Dance Committee chairman Terry Perkins and decorating committee chairman Henry Kowalski fwho, incidentally, deserve o vote of gratitude and congratulations for a iob well donei played Let's Make A Deal with Barb Atkinson and Barry Wilkins and gave away an album and some green folding material. With all this going on a dance hardly needs music, but we had one of the best groups ever to play in Woodstock. Our Students' Council gambled on an unknown blues-rock group originally from Phoenix, Arizona fwe wont. The Sunnyside Symphonic was made up of six men and a girl who played almost every instrument imaginable. They performed several different types of music and combined a number of their own compo- sitions with several well-known numbers and ended up pleasing everybody. When the gymnasium was cleared after the dance ended and the lonely snowman remained to dance alone under the icicles, everyone who attended the Christmas dance was satisfied that C.A.S.S. had maintained its reputation for having the best dances in Woodstock. SADIE HAWKINS For this year's Sadie Hawkins dance in March, the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Associa- tions hired the Organ Grinder's Garden and the Trydom to provide non-stop music. The dance's theme was backwoods, or dogpatch . The success of the event was proven by several factors. The decorations and costumes were interesting andfor amusing as was the hillbilly marriage licence bureau, which was run by Reverend Wayne Ray. The B.A.A. and G.A.A. worked hard to ensure that everyone who attended had a good time, and their trouble proved to be well worth every- body's time. By the end of the evening Lucy Moore's scoresheet showed a profit of almost two hundred dollars.

ACCENT ON MUSIC This year'saccent wasmore on good times than music. More time was spent at parties than on our great musical exploits, with the band of West Hill Secondary School providing the motivation for some superb parties, at which time we became well acquainted with the problem of over-population. The highlight of the evening concert was an eight bar drum solo by the drummer ofthe Woodstock Symphony Orchestra. This was the tension breaker that everyone needed, as the bonds of nervousness were finally broken and the rest of the evening was very enjoyable. -.f . gamma mwwmwwmmmm' 'W MW mmm 'WU , ls Uuwham, - il f PM ' 57 I f S.. - jf ,. .
