The year 1960 held many bright things for the collegiate. For the first time in its history it had a yearbook. Finding a name for it was a problem. After racking our brains for an appropriate title someone suggested the “Forerunner”, which turned out to be its title. The yearbook committee consisted of eleven members who were subdivided into smaller committees, each looking after individual problems such as social activities, sports, and advertising. Our editor. Bob Scott, an ambitious grade twelve student, put a lot of time into organizing the yearbook. A newcomer to grade eleven, Donna Grabowsky, was Bob Scott’s assistant editor. Donna, a happy-go-lucky person, is one of the better students in grade eleven. Audrey Wachal, a top student in grade twelve, wrote a report on the Faculty mem¬ bers. Without the advertising committee the yearbook would not have been possible. Richard Chornick came to East St. Paul this year and was a great help in advertising. Richard has three other fellow advertisers: Frank Favoni, John Tees, and Fred Butler. June Neil, a good looking blonde from grade eleven, took care of the girls’ sports for the year. Brian Stasynec, another grade eleven student, took care of boys’ sports. Our social committee consisted of Angela Askew and Danny Buksak, both grade ten students. Rosemary Easton took care of the literary section and did a marvellous job. Staff advisor for the yearbook was Mr. Bergeron, who also spent considerable time and effort taking pictures of school activities.

Our studc-nt council has been very active this year as compared to the previous years. The dances we have had were very successful. The many activities inside the school have also, we feel sure, done much to lessen the monotony of school hours. Our first dance was a combined basketball game and dance and it was the first one to ever bo held in the Hast St. Paul Collegiate. Our huge gym provided us with a good place for both the game and the dance. The game was played by the boys of the ' Collegiate All Star team against the graduates of the East St. Paul School. It was a thrilling and oxciting game but it was a tragic loss for the graduates who were in poor condition as compared to the All Stars. The dance which followed was enjoyed by everyone. The attendance was large and it was then we really became thankful we had held it in our gym. For the music that night we played records as the funds of the student council were not too great, but this appeared to make absolutely no difference to the success of the ' evening. Refreshments were sold and at the end of the evening we were sure that everyone had gone home feeling that this had been a terrific dance. The next dance the ' student council had was held on March 11. This dance was put on for the purpose of rais¬ ing money for the graduation which was coming upon us very rapidly. The dance was to have started at 8:00 but it never really got under way until 9:00. Once it did get started, lowever, it was a lot of fun. A “no smoking sign was put up forbidding anyone to smoke inside the gym and this rule was enforced by Mr. Askew, a special constable who has been chaperoning the dances. It made it much more pleasant inside the gym without having the air getting stuffy. There were a variety of dances including the Mexican Hat dance, polkas, waltzes, jives, etc., and prizes were given for spot dances. Although the attendance was not as great as we had antici¬ pated it was just as successful as the last dance we had.
