Formal Notes Friday, April 19th, was the cli- max of Elmwood ' s social season. After many months of planning and organizing, the formal this year was held at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, at nine o ' clock. The attendance was very good, and we were so pleased to see many members of the staff enjoying them- selves, dancing to the music of Shorty Metcalfe and his dance band. During the evening there were many prize dances including the traditional spot dance, a very amusing ' hesitation ' dance and of course, the door prize. At ten thirty an assortment of ex- cellent food was served. The dance ended at about one o ' clock, and everyone felt certain that it had been one of the best dances that Elmwood has ever had.

Dances This year the dances have had a very special meaning to all of us in the senior school. We have looked forward to them weeks in advance, we have enjoyed all the preparations and the last minute hurry, but most of all, we enjoyed the dances themselves which were always full of the spirt of fun and which always ended too soon. Our first three dances this year were sponsored by the three Houses: Fry, Keller and Nightingale. Fry held the Tennis dance in the fall. The gym was decorated with tennis rackets and balls, and every imaginable thing that had any connection whatever with tennis. Keller ' s Hallowe ' en dance was held late in October. The decorations were very effective and everyone was filled with the usual Hallowe ' en spirit. The St. Andrew ' s dance, held by Nightingale, had a very Scottish air and it seems to me that even the gym smelt of heather. Some of the girls wore kilts, and even one brave gentleman showed up in his kilt also. Our next dance was held in January, and this time the sponsors were the staff of this magazine. The theme of the dance was skiing, and everyone spent a very comfortable and enjoyable evening in ski-slacks and sweaters. The last dance of the year was held in February. The theme was Valentine ' s day and the dance was organized by the girls in 5A. The gym was beautifully decorated in hearts and cupids, with a broken heart at the entrance, through which everyone had to walk. I would like to thank everyone who gave up some of their time to help in the preparations which made the dances so enjoyable to all. Patricia Watson - 5A Hallowe ' en Party On November 29th, Archbishops, babies, Aunt Jeminas, mail bags, old ladies, relics of the twenties and crowds of unidentifiables ' ' crowded the gym to overflowing. Everyone paraded around, and the best and funniest were chosen. This caused much excitment, especially when it was discovered that the prize was edible. Next came the class skits. These catastrophies reduced most of us to near hysteria. As usual the take-off done by the teachers, and the take-offs of the teachers caused the wildest comments and laughter. All through this, the faithful Samara editors were selling candy at outrageous prices; but none of us minded since we felt that we were contributing to history. Later on, we moved to the dining-room where everyone feasted on the best that. Morrison Lamothe and Pure Spring could provide. I think I can voice everyone ' s opinion when I say that the costumes were original and humorous, the food excellent and the whole evening a great success. Thank you prefects. Daphne Twidale - 5A House Plays Our annual House Plays were produced this year on the evening of February 28th. As adju- dicator we were privileged to have Faith Ward and our thanks go to her for her interest and help. The plays produced were: Keller - Riders to the Sea; Nightingale - Simday cost two Pesos; Fry - The Stolen Prince. The prize for the best play of the evening went to Nightingale while Fry and Keller tied for second place. Wendela Roberts, of Nightingale won the best actress award and following her from each play were Reesa Greenberg of Fry and Barb. Fletcher of Keller. Indeed we can say that this year has produced among the best group of plays. Congratulations to all the Houses for your wonderful and successful efforts. Diane Nancekivell - GM
