pzmzam aww, November 2nd, 1955. found all spirits and goblins from Hamilton Teachers' College at McMaster University Drill Hall. The hall was tastefully decorated in the traditional Halloween fashion and a large table in the centre of the floor was laden with pumpkins. Two large tubs for apple dunking were at the ends of the table. The cabaret arrangement was used, with candles and pumpkins on each table. Music by Tim Strush and the Jets made the dancing most enjoyable. Eddie Baines favoured us with several vocal selections accompanied by the orches- Il'2l. Prizes were won by Jim Stokes and Jean Murray for the costumes indicating the most work and originality. A bewitching witch, Jean Laidlaw. won the prize for the funniest costume, Ann Marie Brennan and Dick Lawrence. the former a headless man and the latter a baseball player. won prizes for their efforts. Due to the fact that the music was so good the major part of the evening was spent dancing. At the witching hour we all sped home to the underworld. Nonie Kingston Slacfen-2' eouncil The most important undertaking of the Student Council is to insure the well-being of each student during his year at Hamilton Teachers' College. The council consists of the executive, a representative from each form and the heads of the other Societies. In September. our Council debated and struggled to draw up a Student Budget. Following this, our industrious form representatives collected the fees from each student. The other societies were then given their money in order that the year's activities could commence. The next item was the selling and distributing of Christmas cards. A new crest was designed by Birks for our school jewellery this year. These few things that the Council has accomplished are very trivial in relation to its guiding and governing policy which was applied to all societies. -Louise Misener CAMPBELL TILE A D TERRAZZO CO., LTD. 22 HELLIWELL'S LANE ST.

7!ne Snawdall Seaway The flowing music of the Orion Quintet and the flowing gowns of the beautiful young ladies present in the Crystal Ballroom of the Royal Connaught Hotel on the evening of December 17, 1955, combined to make the annual Teachers' College Christmas party an attractively successful one. The ballroom, decorated in stunning colour arrangements of blue and white. formed a magic snowland for the princesses and their escorts. Tiny white snowballs brushed the heads of the whirling dancers. From his place over the band, Frosty the Snowman surveyed the gay invaders of his magic domain. Receiving the guests were members of both the faculty and their wives, and of the student organizations responsible for sponsoring the dance. Throughout the evening, vocalist Eddy Baines sang to a delighted audience. A short programme featured Mimi Johnson rendering several Noel seleen tions in a very competent manner. Stanley Campbell played quite artistically on ll difficult instrument. the French Horn. With Dwight Munger at the piano, the entire gathering of guests heralded the approach of Santa Claus with a number of seasonal songs. Presents were distributed to all the members of the faculty. adding a bit of fun to the occasion. All too soon did the magic hour arrive, The laughter and music died. The lights faded. The magic snowland was no more.
