24 G. P. H. S. NORM DOINGS Last September the Dorm again opened its doors to the students who were entering Grande Prairie High School. Now it is almost ready to close its doors for the summer holidays, a time of year which we all enjoy. The Dorm’s Social functions were carried out successfully the term being started by a dance. In the fall a hike was planned and nearly every¬ one attended an outdoor supper followed by a dance. The Christmas Party was a most joyful occasion; as Santa Claus in person was present. During the cold winter months a number of the boys took part in High School hockey games. A rink was constructed near the Dorm, in the early part of the winter. The rink was in operation for some time, but finally heavy snowfalls forced us to abandon it. Spring brought softball and volley ball, with both providing plenty of fun and excitement. Finally we had our last Dorm party which was open to everyone. It was enjoyed by all and a very nice crowd appeared. This brings to a close our social functions of the term. Joan Everton.
