So far, we have sung in the Christmas assembly when we presented Let Us Break Bread Together and our group of boys sang the popular and well-known Ol’ Man River. After Christmas we practised for the Secondary Schools ' Festival. Our numbers were, Go Down Moses and Let Us Break Bread Together . The president of the group is Rosemary Collins; vice- president, Mike Gretes; librarian, Bob Parent. Our thanks go to Miss McNeil who directs us and gives her time and help. ORCHESTRA Every week, twenty-seven students are missing one period from school. While their school mates are slaving over books, these members of the Kennedy Collegiate orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Wass, are struggling over a stubborn introduction, that just won’t come! The fame of the orchestra is not confined only to Ken¬ nedy. Pictures and a fine account appeared in The Star some time ago. Among the many pieces in the orchestra’s repertoire are The Merry Widow Waltz , No Other Love , Be¬ cause of You , and There ' s No Tomorrow . The orches¬ tra has provided the music for many assemblies, and played in the Secondary Schools Music Festival on March 4th. With a fine year behind it, the orchestra is looking forward to an even more successful year in 1953. —ROSEMARY COLLINS Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario Incorporated by Royal Charter 1841 ARTS—Courses leading to the degree of B.A. and B.Com.

Poge 24 THE KENCOLL 1952 Dear Diary: November, 1951 This has really been a swell night. We had a big sock-hop since there was no football game. Socks were required because of our beautiful new gym floor, and it was fun sliding around in stocking feet. As a surprise added attraction, a television set was installed in one corner where everyone could watch the Joe Louis fight. This is the only big dance we have had so far, but we ' ve had short Sock-Hops after the games. Everybody enjoys these dances so much and hopes they will continue. The whole school is very grateful to the Star-Dusters and especially Mr. Laframboise for all of their work in stag¬ ing these dances. Dear Diary: December, 1951 The Third Annual Sleighbell Prom” was held tonight and the gym was certainly beautiful. First to greet the dancers were Santa Claus and Rudolph, his favourite rein¬ deer, sailing across a sky topped by silver letters spelling Merry Christmas” behind the bandstand. The coke stand was flanked by gay, old-fashioned lanterns which illuminated the red and white striped North Pole . Snow-laden chimneys with silver moons and shining stars peeping over the edge decked the back- boards and the traditional Christmas tree in the middle of the gym completed the Christmas atmosphere. The girls received real candy-cones tied with perky red bows for favours. A highlight of the evening was the grand march held after intermission. Everyone seemed to be having an es¬ pecially wonderful time and the dance was a huge success- Dear Diary: February, 1952 Although it was a week late because of the death of King George VI, our Valentine tea dance, called the Lovers’ Leap , was a huge success. The backboards were each adorned with a big frilly heart and red stream¬ ers hung from the balcony. There was a large crowd and everyone danced and danced. Chocolate hearts and lollipops were presented to the winners of the spot and elimination dances. There was an original version of the broom dance, with a coke box taking the place of the broom. Paul Pennington, who was the unfortunate holder of the box when the music ended, had to push the box across the floor with his elbows, amid shouts of laughter. At six o’clock everyone was demanding another tea dance soon. The Social Committee has worked hard this year and are to be complimented on the fine jobs they have done at the dances. The hard-working chairman was Mary Bell, and other members were Joyce Safrance, Nancy Pennington, Joyce Thibodeau, Marnie French, Mar¬ garet Spencer, Janet McWilliams, Eliz. Jennings, John Lor- enzen. Chuck Safrance, and Paul Pennington. Dear Diary: March, 1952 A glittering gold K” which revolved slowly in the mid¬ dle of the floor was the centre of attraction at our 1 8th annual K-Hop. Happy couples whirled under a canopy of blue and gold streamers and on each backboard were the letter and colours of a different school. Bill Richardson ' s orchestra played on a bandstand over which blue and gold steamers formed a shell. The coke stand blended with the blue and gold theme and was lighted on each side by a jaunty old-fashioned lantern. The couples re¬ ceived dance programs as favours and multi-coloured bal¬ loons were released in the middle of the dance. The huge crowd, which included many from other schools, all seemed to enjoy the dance, which marks the last big social event of Kennedy ' s school year. —ELIZABETH JENNINGS. ALMA COLLEGE ST.
