DECEMBER 6, 1955 GGNGEIIT A GIIEAT SUCCESS OUR ORCHESTRA AND AS- ' SISTING ARTISTS DELIGHT LARGE AUDIENCE An entertainment to which music lovers had been looking forward with great interest and expectations took place on Fri- day evening, December lst. It was the concert given by Mr. Byles and his orchestra. For this occasion they were happy to have with them two ex-mem- bers of the orchestra, Howard Dicks and Jack Crone. Graci- ously assisting with the pro- gram were Miss Beth Atcheson, Miss Betty Holmes, Miss Frances Glazier and Mr. Billie Bending, all graduates of South, who were enthusiastically wel- comed by the audience which filled the auditorium. The orchestra was arranged in a semi-circle amid fiowers and palms which made the stage a most effective setting. After the playing of O Can- ada, the orchestra offered us a beautiful arrangement of the selections from one of Sigmund Romberg's loveliest and most popular operettas, The Desert Song. Miss Beth Atcheson delighted her audience with her account of the Twelve Young Gideons, in which humour and pathos were charmingly blended. For an encore she told us what happened When Pa Put the Ashes Out.

At 6.30 p.m., the two 1933 squads, several gridders of former years, and a few outside guests, number- ing about seventy in all, sat down to a bountiful and Well prepared meal. The heavy workout on the turkey was en- joyed by everyone. After supper, Mr. Dinsmore, acting as chairman, first called on Mr. Freeman, coach of the highly successful Juniors, for a speech. Then Mr. Anderson, Mr. McHale and Mr. Graham, the special guests, were each asked to say a few words to the boys. Douglas Parnell, popular cap- tain of the Juniors,was heartily welcomed back and replied to the great ovation given him. He finished by presenting a gift to Mr. Freeman from the squad in appreciation of his efforts. l Neil Love, Senior's captain, followed this example by giving on behalf of the squad, a gift to Mr. Dinsmore, in token of their esteem. Both coaches replied to these presentations. Each thanked the boys for their co-operation Gontinued on page 4, col. 2 PRESENTATIUNS MADE THIS MORNING IN AUDITGIIIUM BOB CALVERT RECEIVES LEATHER-BOUND CIRCU- LATION NOTE-BOOK Mr. Allin Presented with Gift by Editorial Staff ' , BOB CALVERT . This year has seen more com- petition than ever before in connection with the Oracle sales. With such an incentive before us, it's no wonder we 'were all s urred on to selling P , them. But everyone couldnt win the prize. This morning we Were Very happy to be able to present this beautiful note-book to Bob Calvert, the deserving winner. J-ust to mention the fact that Bob sold 100 Oracles leaves us all gasping, and we wonder if anyone else in his locality sold P in :Q . t . any at all. I think Bob de- serves great credit for the time and effort which he must have spent. Next year, when the Oracle is published, we hope that he will again top the list. CONGRATULATIONS, BOB! l.l.lliT- MR. ALLIN The editorial staff of this year's Oracle has certainly appreciated the untiring efforts of our Advisory Editor, Mr. Allin, and We all felt that We would like to show him just how grateful we were for his time and valuable advice. So, this morning we asked him to accept a small gift to show our appreciation. Any member of the stai will tell you how willing he was to give us assistance at any time, and we all thank him very much. . -B. D., VB. SO TH CGLLEGIATE ousis TEAM LONDON SOUTH IUNIORS T0 MEET ST.

First Quarter South took the kick-off. On the first play a K.-W. man took the ball around the right side of the South line for a gain of 35 yards. K.-W. now made successive gains to place them within twenty yards of the South line. Bolduc of K.-W. kicked for a point. Fil- more, on trying to bring it out, was downed within his own line. K.-W.,1, South 0. South now took the ball and on first down kicked to the K.-W. team. The kick was returned, after three plays, South lost the ball to Kitchener and Kitchener, being only 40 yards out, tried for a field goalg the kick was short. The play for the rest of the period remained at the South end, but K.-W. could not score over that strong red line, and the score remained K.-W. 1, South 0. Second Quarter South came back at the K.-W. team with a vengeance and drove deep into the enemy's territory by virtue of a long run by Buck Mason, but the K.-W. line held and no score could be made. London is now thrown for a 10-yard loss on the first two downs of the quar- ter, but they got it back with interest when the K.-W. backs V -.....-...pJ...- . ..- . X played up too far, and Kennedy booted far over their heads and ended up a scant thirty yards from the K.-W. goal line. K.-W. started to work the ball back, but were rewarded for their efforts by the sudden breaking away of White, for a 40-yard run to carry the ball back to K.-W.'s 40-yard line. The next kick was broken up by K.-W., and Thomas recovered, running it right up to the K.W. 5-yard line. On the next plays South were unable to break through the K.-W. line, but were suc- cessful in kicking for a point. From this period of the play till half time, the play re- mained close to centre. Ken- nedy broke up a real K.-W. threat by spearing a long K.-W. forward on the Kitchener 40- yard line. The score: K.-W. 1, South 1. Third Quarter K.-W. carried the ball right down into South territory click- ing off yards four times 'in a row, but the Scarlet line held and K.-W. lost the ball to London on the latter's 5-yard line. After South kicked, Kit- chener again advanced danger- ously close to London's goal line. South recovered a fumble to foil the K.-W. threat once more. A blocked kick, recov- ered by Kitchener and carried over for a touch, marked the first major score of the game. The convert was kicked to com- pletion. K.-W. 7, South 1. A blocked Kitchener kick was now recovered by Dowdell, away down in K.-W. territory, who had an open field With which to score, but slipped in the muddy field.
