“Vevteity tyue t “Weekend Just before noon on February 22 a shiny new Bluebird bus steamed up to the door. We were aboard in a minute. At last Varsity Guest Weekend had begun. An hour later we were heading east on Highway No. 2. With us were our two chaperones and twenty-eight card-playing, chess-playing, chattering, sleeping, singing, eating teens from the other county schools. When our bus purred into Edmonton at £:15 pm, the boys in¬ vaded the Royal George Hotel, and we girls took over the King Eddie. Our first evening was spent on strictly fun— bowling, movies, exploring, or making friends. There were rumors (was it only gossip? ) that the boys played poker until 5 am. Friday’s highlights included touring the campus, wandering through the very impressive Jubilee Auditorium, and watch¬ ing a yawn-inspiring session of Legislature at the Alberta Parliament Buildings. During lunch at the Ed. Building, we were thoroughly stared at by mobs of co-eds (all pretty and sophisticated) and undergrad men. Su ddenly we began to feel round-eyed and extremely green. The round-eyed feel¬ ing grew during the rest of the day too, especially while we watched and listened to the evening production of Re¬ capture the Rapture, This yeafs Varsity Varieties Program. Our event-packed Saturday began with a high-society coffee party where we met U of A ' s Dean of Women and other VIP’s. The afternoon was spent in trudging through dorms, display rooms, and the various faculties. A synchronized swimming contest in the phys. ed. building swimming pool was one of the more interesting displays. A professional guide (none other than Sexsmith’s own Pat Ranch) herded us through the Nursefe Residence, and then back to the waxed-and-polished new Student’s Union Building to see Mr. Diefenbaker. Since Saturday evening was free of organized activities we made good use of it, in spite of our aching feet. 10:00 o ' clock Sunday morning came too soon, for it began the end of our weekend. The once-gleaming bus was knee deep in Real Love comics and orange peeling by the mid¬ dle of the afternoon, and by the time we reached Grande Prairie everyone was feeling noticably less frisky. It did take a while to recover, but we wouldn ' t have miss¬ ed Varsity Guest Weekend for anything. It couldn ' t have been any better.

The initiation of this year ' s grade ten class was held on October 6th. and it lasted for one day. On this day the girls appeared in the gay apparel of tight skirts upside down held up with binder twine fasten¬ ed with safety pins. They also wore men ' s shirts hanging through tkhe twine braces. On their feet they wore dainty men ' s high top boots. Their hair was straight with hair nets pulled over top. For make-up they wore one blacked- out-tooth, white lipstick, and soot for eyeshadow. The boys did very well this year and almost all %t them appeared in their ridiculous get-up. They wore baby diapers, bedroom slippers, baby bonnets, and babry bottles for necklaces. For this one day all of our sophisticated grade ten class bowed to all the grade elevens and teachers, opened all doors, and carried books for the grade elevens. They also waited until all grade elevens were in the room be -fore they came in and sat down. This would result in pun¬ ishment if they failed to follow orders. The punishments began at 12:30 that day. No one had been perfect, so for punishment everyone joined in a Snake Dance around La Glace. One girl had to walk the plank. Two other girls had to propose to two of the Uni¬ versal Construction workers. Another girl had to propose to Mr. Schattschneider and a. boy to Mr . Schattschneider. One girl had to pretend to prepare one of the grade ten boys (as if he was baby) for bed; this included giving him a bath, putting a diaper on him, and giving him a bot¬ tle. There was also a race between two boys to see who could drink milk from a bottle the quickest. That evening there was a weiner roast and party held in honor of the grade ten students, and they were consid¬ ered fullfledged high-school students. Sharon Schwemler Dorothy Connell Diapers—bah 2
