44 REPORTERS' CLUB September, 1949, marked the birth of another Danforth Tech student organi- zation. At the suggestion of Principal Ferguson, Mr. Al Greene, Staff Adviser for the TECH TATLER, set up a re- porters' group with the twofold purpose AQ of publicizing school activities and of training students in writing for pub- lication. In its first year small group fed out a large number of the daily papers, radio stations, as of operation this weekly releases to local Weeklies, and well as giving reporter coverage to prac- ticaflly all school functions. With the experience gained this year it is antici- pated that the Reporters' Club will prove of even greater benefit to both its members and the school at large during the 1950-51 season. For outstanding reporting service during the year of its inception, the club's staff adviser has selected the names of Harold Cohen, M5INg Jim Jennings, M5INg Ferne Gould, V4Ag Janie Beecroft, A3Gg Harold Johnston, 13Mg and Grace Bates, 14C. SQUARE DANCE CLUB Square-dancing as a national pastime has been gaining favour with increasing 'iumbers of townsfolk over the past decade. Danforth Tech, with its club zv ow celebrating its eighth straight year, TECH TFITLER is right in the forefront of the move- ment. Every second Wednesday night a lively group of students congregate in the Girls' Gym to dance to the familiar dos-a-dos and a la main left all of Mr. Gord Stewart, while Miss Marion White in the role of traffic regulator Pianist Mr. Ed Monkman, and fiddlers Ed Lennox and Ed Czuchnicki whooped things up. Kay Kinsey, Mr. Sharratt, Helen Holland, Chuck Peters, Howie Reed, Diane Woodrow, and Mr. Potvin are reputed to be those who set the Hnest records for swinging. Another standout in the club year was the Auditorium Variety Show at the Tech Annual Exhibition, March 17 and 18, when sixteen hill-billies and a red- shirted Mr. Stewart at the mike showed a packed audi-torium the most stirring way in wihich to end an even- 1ng's entertainment. Orchids from the club members go to Mr. Langille and Mr. Orr who pro- vided the music for the year's earlier sessions, and to the hard-working 1949- 50 executive, Ferne Gould, Betty Rog- keeps each set within its allotted orbit. Towards the end of January the club invited the teachers to come down and .

A fine ed-ucational time was had by all as ers, Joan Pearson, Johnny Guest, and Nina Fallis who were Mr. Stewart's lieutenants in providing so many enjoy- able evenings throughout the long win- ter months.
