The decorating committee reallv did a wonderful job. Hearts and flowers predomina- ted. A large heart provided air entrance into the dance floor. This was a nrost approriate svrnbol for it was a Valentine dance. Strea- mers and balloons were gavly festooned from the centre of the dance floor while on the stage was a rnrrral of cutework design with ir Cupid interpreting the Valentine motive. The bovs corrld not plead forgetfulness in failing to provide corsages for their lady-loves as all kinds. shapes and sizes could be prrr- chased on arrival, Al Kuhn gave out with the music which was to a kings taste.

The Christmas spirit prevailed and there was much merry-making. Manv' former Collegians were present, representing O.A.C., Queens, Toronto and XVestern. A tournament for the best yell was held. O.A.C. won otrt trnder the leadership of john Raithby. The hall was gaily decorated in blue and maroon. Streamers gave the effect of a low ceiling. A large Christmas tree stood in the centre ol' the floor. The entrance was unique, with two evergreens fenced in with snow co- vered cedar-rails. The stage was hung with streamers also, forming an excellent setting for Al Kuhn's orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Newstead, Mr. and Mrs. John Mor- rison, Mr. Thomas MacDonald, and otrr presi- dent, Stewart Rennie, received the guests. Refreshments were served in ct smartly decorated booth under the guidance ot Dick Leathern. George Morrison was in charge of decorations, and Phelps Bell was the head of the dance committee. George Finkbeiner was the master of cere- monies. He proved verv' generous. giving prizes to Hugh D1'Elt'4Bl'OOli and Elizabeth Card lor an elimination dance. Iacsk Lorhan and Catherine Ivhitnrarslr also vvon a prile lor a spot dance. Before anvone knew what was happening, the dance was ended. I think I am safe in saving that evervone had a good time. v Hugh Revell. X113 DIZINING INTO THE PAST All aboarcl!
