19 .... szscssif cgi, . .... ..fi5BNPl9G No opening dance is complete without speeches and ours were Leah Gliener, Dick Bradshaw, Mr. Conquest and Mr. Sheppard, who officially christened the good ship Garneau High Schooln. Also, Mr. Pilkington made a presentation to Helen Miller for naming the school paper. At 11:30 everything was packed up and we returned to our bunks in the ship, after the formalities which always follow a dance were over. The committee in charge of preparations for this dance was headed by Leah Gliener and included: Marilyn Weinlos, Elaine Brasnett, Kay Hawker, Helen Miller, George Nielson, Cliff Mc- Mahon, Roy McMahen, Dick Bradshaw, Len Beatty and Johnny Clark. November IO, 1945 Turn-A-Bout is just a memory, now, but one that will never be forgotten. Most of us managed to get up early enough to see the town disappear below the horizon, but some few of us had breakfast and lunch together at supper time. Captain Bradshaw has set a northerly course as we wish to take part in some winter activities. December 14, 1945 Here at Garneau we seem to be turning out one successful social affair after another. Our second great success was the sleigh- ride which took place today. Despite 15 below weather we had a grand turn-Out. After two hours of washing faces and fighting in the snow and hay, we came back to the ship. Here the fun was just beginning. The truth or consequences program caught Messrs. Allison, Botsford and Pilkington and no one will forget their rendition of Mairzy Doats. We also found out that Mr. Pilkington was a wonder at leading congas. Refreshments consisted of hot dogs and cokes and when the dancing was finished everyone turned in tired and happy. December 19, 1945 Oh! unhappy day! A storm broke! All hands are working like dogs on their Christmas exams. December 21, 1945 The exams are over and we are now headed for ten days of recuperation, oh happy days! February 8, 1946 Tonight we had a skating party and mocassin dance. It was held at Oliver Community Rink and kids from every ship in the ocean joined with our gang for the fun. And fun it was, with all the latest dance styles displayed to perfection on the rink. Along about next year at this time we'll be looking for another grand party and dance.

It did not seem like an auspicious start and there was much discussion pro and con about it. It consisted of eight mimeographed pages with a colored cover. The attractive headings in it and the subsequent issues were done by john Rafter who aided us in many ways. With our second issue, there were some changes. First of all, there was a change in editorship. Sandy Holmes found it necessary to resign and .Harry Saslow was elected to replace him. However, Sandy remained on the staff as Exchanges Editor and con- tributed a number of articles including the now famous Letter-to-the-Editor about the street-car transfer system. Dick Holmes replaced Harry as assistant editor. Our second issue which consisted of seven pages which were of larger size, featured a cartoon cover by Gary Steeves and a continuation of the feature Secret Operator Xu. With our third issue, the Echo began to come of age. There was talk of the editorials and of the features. We had The Strange Case of JS. which was never solved and other features which caused comment. just before the Easter exams came the Special which consisted of a couple of pages of talk about who was going with who and who wasn't and why they weren't and the results of the Personality Poll. This being written before the end of school, we cannot speak of our last issue. Attempts are being made to have it printed. We may not have the best high-school paper around and we may never have the best, but those in charge this year really gave their all with the hope that there are better things to come.-HARRY SASLOW.
