SWEETHEART BALL February was an exciting month at Edmund Partridge Junior High School. The Sweetheart season began. Each room elected a boy and girl to represent them as King and Queen. Campaigning was well underway and overnight our bare halls were a mass of posters. On Wednesday, February 10th the finalists were chosen by closed ballot. Friday morning, February 12th saw the final voting. The dance that evening concluded a week of fun. Decorations were created by the Student Council and music was supplied by Ronnie and the Chevrons. At 10:32, amidst a growing air of excitement the winners were announced. Don Billinkoff crowned Karen Patsh of Room 9 as queen and Pat Marych crowned Bill Pratt of Room 6 as King. Prince and princess were Bob Daptil and Sharon Heather. The winners received lovely gifts. The evening will always be remembered. SUPERSTITIONS E.P ' s Social Season began with a bang on November 13th with “Super¬ stitions,” the theme of our first dance. The auditorium was gaily decorated in orange and black masks and question marks. Refreshments of drinks and donuts were supplied by the student council. Many lucky students left with records, prizes for the novelty dances, as souvenirs of the event. The great turnout indicated the start of another great social season. CLASH The student Council knocked their heads together and the result was “Clash Day,” on Friday, May 14. The purpose was to instill school spirit amongst the students and the project was a great success. The halls were filled with students in stripes, polka dots, and crazy colours all mixed to¬ gether. That evening we once more donned our normal clothes for the “Clash Dance”. The decorations in clashing colours of course, were very original. Those who attended agreed that it marked a wonderful close to an exciting day and an exciting social season.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT The Christmas spirit came to Edmund Partridge on Wednesday, December 11th, when the students presented their annual Christmas Concert. The auditorium was artistically decorated in a festive motif under the qualified supervision of Miss Busch. The audience was delightfully entertained by selections sung by the Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Redekopp and Miss Murray. The boys’ choir directed by the musically minded Mr. Arnould sang two lovely selections. The band conducted by Mr. White was at its best. The Chanukah candle-lighting service, conducted by Miss Wasserman was also part of the program. The music was provided by an organ and a high¬ light of the evening was the Procession of the Glee Club. SPRING TEA March was highlighted by the Edmund Partridge School Tea. The usual ticket selling campaign was dispensed with and invitations were sent, yet the tea was as great a success as ever. The school was festively decorated for the occasion. On the windows, some talented students painted blossoming apple trees. The auditorium was like a flower-filled garden. The students’ art work was displayed and it added greatly to the decor. The students of grade nine served, and the food was provided by us all. The Glee Club under Mr. Redekopp and the band under Mr. White furnished the entertainment. Despite the cold winter weather outside, the tea made us feel that spring had really arrived. CHOCOLATE BAR SALE This year’s chocolate bar sale began with a rousing Pep Rally on October 30th which was a great success. Many students participated in fun acts and the teachers put on their usual great performance which this year was the Ed Sullivan Show. When the rally was over everyone went back to their rooms and received their bars and raced out to sell them. The competition for the room that sold the most chocolate bars was won by Room 12’s great effort over Room 11 and Room 16 who trailed by just a few points. The top salesmen of the school were Ron Bailey of Room 11 and Glenn Libman of Room 12. Congratulations are extended to all the room winners and those who made the sales a great success as it was.
