SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Christmas Dance The annual Christmas Dance, named the Candy Capers Dance, was held on December 2lst. It proved to be a very successful dance with decorations in white and red, with a beautifully lit tree in the centre of the gym. The dress was semi-formal and nmsic was provided by the Melody Men. At 12:00 entertainment by Doug Walker, a television and radio tap dancer was enjoyed by all. Dancing was then continued until 1:30 when a delicious buffet lunch was spread in the auditorium. Success in the various social activities during the school term can be attributed to Kaye Bell and Howard Dolson, the social convenors. Music After a delicious turkey dinner supplied by the Home and School Association, The Glee-Ettes and Note Crackers, orchestra, and Glee Club have been successful as far as music is concerned. Although a slight discord can be heard at odd times the sound is pleasant to the average ear. The Glee-Ettes have increased to twenty-nine members. The new section the Note Crackers, number twelve and made their debut with the Glee-Ettes at the Masons-atJHome. Inter-School Christian Fellowship The Inter-School Christian Fellowship of the Collingwood Collegiate Institute has been a very lively member among the groups of our School. Every Thursday noon finds room fifteen a centre of diligent study as the I.S.C.F. members gather to study Paul's letter to the Philippians and to seek out God's message to our group. The discussions were led by Mrs. Thompson, our sponsor, some of the group members, some of the C.D.C.I. graduates, and some C.D.C.I. staff members. Early in the fall, a social in the form of a singsong was held at the annex at the Gowan's home. Following this, a journey was made to attend a rally in Barrie. This was well attended by representatives from Alliston, Barrie, Brace- bridge, Collingwood, Huntsville, Meaford, Orillia, Owen Sound, Thornbury, and other schools. During the Christmas holidays, a skating party was the highlight. Meaford was our guest. A conference, to be held in May is now being planned and it is hoped that this will be a big success. All in all, this has been a wonderful year. Our I.S.C.F. has grown considerably and the new school will probably see even a bigger and better Fellowship.
