TECH THTLER 55 THE GIRL HDD THE GHTTTEH INITIATION DAY ----On October twenty-first, 1949, the halls of Danforth Technical School were filled with throngs of weird-looking characters. Why? Initiation, of course. For one Whole day Grade Nine students were compelled to wear an outrageous costume which consisted of: Haj A man's shirt worn backwards. tbl A tie worn backwards. tlcl A large placard with name and form on it and suspended from the neck. tidy Ten red and white rags tied in the hair. tel A white ribbon worn on the right leg. tfgl One nylon :stocking and a run- ning shoe on the right foort. 4110 One ordinary shoe and a white sock on the left foot. tfib A doll carried in the arms. lfjl No mak-e-up. At the end of the day a tunnel pro- gramme completed ceremonies. Each student who was being initiated was accompanied by her big s i ste r through the many fantastic and amus- ing stunts set up by the senior girls. BANTAM RUGBY TEAM BACK ROW: Mr. Todd, D. Otto, N.

After all penalties were completed, a gay party ended Initiation Day. A good time was had by all and many thanks are due to the chairman of the Initiation, Shirley McColl and her com- mittee, Doreen Begley, Joyce McCall, Katherine Divitcoff, Mollie Bacon, Di- ane Darwen, Dorothy Fulcher, Joan Lister, Bette Phillips, Marilyn Ward, Frances Watt, Adele Barnett, and Lor- raine Gibson. VOLLEYBALL Before the annual intra-mural volley- ball tournament began, an officials' club was held in order to train students as referees. After five meetings the trained referees elected Joan Black, MG2, and M a r i e Hackley, A2G, under Miss White's supervision, as curators to pro- mote and direct the volleyball league. The subsequent tournament, held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, lasted from September 29 till November 22, and at the end of that time the better teams entered the semi-finals. MGIAB, the junior champions, were defeated by MG2AB, the intermediate champions. MGZAB were defeated in the finals and M5ABIN emerged as the interform volleyball champions of 1949-50. On November 30, at Eastern Com- merce, teams from first, second, third, and fourth forms of Danforth Tech played against corresponding teams of Eastern Commerce in an inter-school match. A week later Danforth returned the invitation, and Eastern Commerce came to Danforth Tech. To end the volleyball season our teams were match- ed against Malvern Collegiate at Dan- forth on December 8. FIELD DAY Danforth Tech's annual field day girls' events got off to a dynamic be- ginning with the baton relays. The first
