Page Twenty-Seven THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1956 The Hall owe’en Dance Our annual Hallowe’en Dance was its usual light-hearted success, as students streamed into the school to join in the merry-making. The auditorium and halls, gaily decked with ghosts, pumpkins and the tradi¬ tional black and orange streamers, rang with the songs and laughter of fun-loving teenagers in blue-jeans and plaid shirts. Carol Patterson was chairman of the social committee which was in charge of the dance and included Pat Pattison, Trevor Wright, Tony Brechkow, Mary Louise Donnelly, Marie Woolsey, Marie McGuinness, and Tammy Cohoon. A sing-song, led by the senior students on this committee, put everyone in a gay mood. Miss Gurney then called enough square dances to satisfy even the most avid barn-dance enthusiasts. Selling “cokes ' ' to the thirsty mob were Ann Grant, Marjory Dubbs and Margaret Sparling. To conclude the evening, the students danced to recordings of Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey, and for the “chicken” there were selections by Bonny Lou and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Thanks to the committee and to Mr. Mallender, Miss Weller, Mr. Steadman, and Miss Gurney the party was a real success. 1 lie Footba 11 F ormal The traditional canopy of red and white streamers set the stage for the Forster Football Formal. Carrying out the football theme were gay replicas of cheerleaders frolicking on pillars and pictures of collegiate football heroes marching across silver goal posts.

Carol Kipps and Peter LaFontaine, Jean Fraser and Gary Tucker, Diane King and Dean Saul, Nancy Bowen with Doug Carr, Marie McGuinness and Bill Kovinsky and countless others were seen dancing to the strains of Bob’s music. The spirit of Christmas and the New Year had invaded the hearts of all those in attendance, and the result was a terrific success. Sweater Swin£ Under a canopy of scarlet and white streamers forming a circus-tent effect, a capacity crowd danced to splendid music at our 17th annual Sweater Swing. A mirrored ball rotating slowly in the centre of the “tent,” reflected fanciful lights on the dance floor. To add to the circus theme, brightly coloured animals decorated the pillars and a huge clown juggling balloons held sway in the centre of the stage. Many patrons were here to help make the dance the success it was . They included Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Steadman, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. D. Mallender, Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Sweater Queen and Swing King.
