NEWTONIAN 67 SaciaC , , . The students planned and enthusiast¬ ically took part in many social activities that brightened our school year. The first step in regard to dances was taken by Mr. Riddle and Miss MacIntyre who taught some of the boys the ABC’s of terpsichorean art. The opening dance of the new season was held on November 6, 1942, and both students and teachers thoroughly en¬ joyed themselves. Music was supplied by records. Mr. Riddle was in charge with a few boys assisting. Outsiders were admitted to this dance if accom¬ panied by a student. It must be said that the boys had an attack of “dat ol’ debil” shyness as they supported the wall on one side of the auditorium. The customary Ex-Grads’ Dance was held on November 26, 1942. Because of the small number of tickets sold to the Grads, the grade 11 students were ad¬ mitted. This left the 10’s feeling rather left out. At 4 p.m. a social evening was held in honour of the classes who had sold the most tickets to the “Parcels for Newton Boys Overseas” Concert. Each one was entitled to bring a friend. On January 15th, 1943, a second school dance was held. This was well attended by both students and teachers. The celebration of Isaac Newton High School’s twenty-first birthday on March 5, 1943 was climaxed by a dance in the auditorium. Both young and old who were present joined in the fun and were loathe to hear the echoing strains of the National Anthem which ended an enjoyable evening for all. For those who helped in the celebra¬ tion, a dance was held after school hours on the following Monday and proved to be very successful. May 7th wound up the school’s dances for another year. Since this followed Field Day, the majority present were suffering from stiff and sore muscles. The most important and long awaited Graduation Dance was held on June 16. The auditorium presented a panorama of constantly moving color as the girls in their graduation dresses and the boys in their drapes took part in this, their last dance, as students of Isaac Newton. Many of us will not easily f orget the happy hours we spent dancing during the years of 1942-43. 4 -+ 4 STORES— Bus Depot 256 Kennedy St. Broadway and Osborne Spence and Portage
