24 THEKENNEDYYEAR-BOOK THE GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ liaskcthall team did not have very great success this year hut they did show good teamwork. Due to percentages and illnesses the team was hardly at its best in any of its game.s. The girls were noted for their good sportsmanship througliout the season. The ninth and tenth graders on the team have shown so much promise that Miss Hamilton holds high hopes for a championshi]) team in a year or .so. We’re behind you, girls! Kennedy swimmers dominated the city meet and scored enough points to enable us to come out on top in iKith the boys ' and the girls ' sections. The boys held a margin of eight points over the nearest competitor but the girls just no.sed out Walkcrville by a single point. Congratulations are in order for Keith McEwen who won the senior boys’ championship and for Jessie Duck who captured the intermediate girls’ crown. IDEAL KENNEDY GIRL-FRIEND Eyes—Eleanor Hanrahan.

ADVICE TO THE LOVE-LORN Dear Miss Hortense DeBris:— My boy friend is very attentive and takes me every¬ where. Do you think he will always be like that? Yours, lary .Ann Repent. Dear Mary Ann Repent:— I’d like to say “yes,” Mary .Ann Repent, but men change after marriage and only want an easy chair and slippers. I’ve seen many a gay dog change from hunter” to setter” in no time at all. Dear Hortense:— My boy friend is a fine dancer but a poor conversa¬ tionalist .About all he ever .says is “Gosh, all hemlock.” Wouldn’t that become tiresome? Yours, Oliva Dither. Dear Oliva Dither:— A’ou’re wrong there O.D. That expression shows he knows his .Ancient History. Remember Socrates was condemned to death and ordered to take i)oison. He told his slave to mix him a drink of hemlock and ale. The slave was so nervous that he forgot the ale and when Socnites tasted it, he said, Gosh, all hemlock!” So you see, my dear lady, that you should thank your stars, that one so well read would he bothered with you at all. SOCIAL On December 2ind, the annual Commencement Dance took the form of the Tenth .Anniversary Birthday Ball, in the gymnasium. Blue and silver decorations were used throughout. On each of the si. baskets were huge birthday cakes, while in the centre of the floor there was a large white cake, illuminated by ten pink ctindlcs. Silver Christmas trees with blue lights stood on each side of the orchestra stand. The whole pre.sented a very attractive appearance. Gertrude White and .Albert Mitchell provided the special entertainment of the evening. .A mimher of the grads, who are away at school, came home to the affair. .A successful tea-dance was held on February 20th, following the exhibition basketball game with Cranhrook. The newly-formed school dance orchestra was the main attraction and deserves a lot of credit for its work. Gossip has it that Don Wilson has taken time off from his studies at K.C.l. and in spending several weeks in Florida. Georgena F’alls enjo3 ' ed a trip to New Orleans and Florida during the Easter vacation, while Jim Jones also spent two weeks in the south. On March 15th over four hundred defenseless males were forced from the side lines and dragged on to the dance tloor by their feminine admirers. .Amidst a setting of blue and gold decorations, these unfortunate young men tri|)ped the light fantastic until twelve-thirty. The feature of the evening was a solo by Ethelwyii Lust- garten. The occasion was the tenth annual K-Hop, a roundabout, with the girls paying the bills. With the Easter holidays just past, we are still mind¬ ful of the many good times we had. The festivities began w ' ith the Junior Haverhill Club’s eighth annual Easter Parade at Lakewood Golf Club on March 23rd. Then in rajrid order followed the .Aero Club Dance, the •Assumiition .Alumni Dance, and the DeMolay Dance. The Girls’ Athletic Societj- s))onsored a tea-dance on Thursday, .April 4th, with the school Swing Orchestra supplying the music. IDEAL KENNEDY BOY-FRIEND Eyes—Herb. .Morris. Hair—Keith McEwen.
