SOCIAL STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE EPTERYBER already and we're back at school! XYe welcome back many of our old students and many new ones. It's time to get acquainted and have our Iirst school dance sponsored by the Students' Council. Everyone was there and South's activities got well under- way. -LILLIAN Tooonotfif. RUGBY DANCE December at last! Boy, were we glad that those terrible creations called exams were over? At last we could forget about them for a while and many South students staggered over to the school that night to forget their sorrow. It was the annual Rugby Dance and the last dance of the school year, 19-15. The rugby team was quite successful this year and so was their dance. BENEFIT DANCE Come onel Come all! And we did. lt was a benefit basketball dance for a South student injured last fall in rugby practice. XXI- invited the St. Thomas team down. The result was a good time, a good crowd, and a good game. If no one had heard Let It Snow before, they knew it off by heart before the evening was over. It seems the .luke Box broke down. tRememlJer?j LA FIESTA DE LOS AMIGOS UE to the cold and stormy weather here at South the senior students and grads took a trip to Old Mehico for our annual Senior at Home. There the palm trees tluttered and swayed in the breeze, mules were tied to corral fences and the tired Mexicans slept. Our ball room Ccommonly known as the gyml was completely transformed into an enchanting Mexican picture. The entrance was converted into a door of hacienda where Mexican figures greeted the smiling couples. The walls were adorned with picturesque Mexican scenes where the vivid reds, blues and yellows came to life. Around the scenery went brightly-painted silent drums to protect us from daubing our clothes with crayon. The back-drop of sky, mountains and human flgures and the old corraI in the corner completed the transformation. Seniors and beautiful senioritas danced and swayed to the sweetest music of Bill Beecroft. The highlight of the evening was an acrobatic dance by Jacky May and songs by Earl Plun- kett, two grads from South who are welcome back at any time. The memory-raising programmes told a com- plete story of their own. No one was found sharing an aspirin and all remarks were complimentary. La Fiesta De Los Amigos , The Friendly Gathering was completely suc- cessful and will always be remembered by those who visited Old lVIehico . Congratulations are in order to the very efficient committee which directed the arrangements. - - from the little print 1'tvtrlIl - - PRINTS REPRODUCTIONS IN COLOUR from ORIGINAL PAINTINGS f-OU ' tt 'illfchuialgitrluilp Artistic Ladies' Wear LIVIITED 158 Dundas St. London's Style Centre For XYOIIICII, Misses and juniors Air-Conditioned For Your Comfort C00 J.

Compliments of CAPITOL THEATRE Showplace of London -DURING iiiititititiii ii-ask tit s. c. 1., the titst year victims were gaily decorated with multi-coloured dunce caps. tied under their chins with wide boxx s. Under the iron ruling of their seniors. they were compelled to pull their books to school in six-quart baskets. The climax came on Friday night, October 12. After the rugby game at Labatt Park, we trooped back in the pouring rain to the school for our annual Girls' Party. Lillian Todoroff led the sing-song in the audi- torium with Marilyn Barnes at the piano. Beryl Rafuse, vice-president of the G.A.A., in attempt- ing to punish Frosh who had disobeyed the rules, caused a great deal of excitement. Fifth year enacted, in pantomime, a skit of VVinnie the Pooh , while Lillian Todoroff read the story. Romeo and Juliet by fourth year, was a great success with Landon Mackenzie as Romeo, throwing roses at Barb Mapletoft on the top of Mr. Hill's step ladder. Future fashions for every month were shown by third year. Second year skit was a riot. The handsome hero Joyce Halliday saved the Princess, Shirley Saull, in the tower. At the completion of the skits, the girls dashed to the gymnasium to dance until their year was called to the cafeteria for their hot dog, choco- late milk and apple. At eleven o'clock the juniors took off their hair bows and dunce caps, having been initiated to South.

The girls weren't nearly as shy as the boys pretend to be and each t'colleen brought her favourite man to the gathering of the green . It was quite a formal affair. Most of the boys had corsages of some description or other, vegetable or otherwise, and we even had an orchestrainstead of a juke box that usually gets stuck. We all had to wear green to get in. Most of us have been broke since. After the dance most of the boys insisted on having a hot chicken dinner at our expense but we really didn't mind, as long as it just happens once a year. The co-ed was lots of fun and one of the most successful dances of the year. --LILLIAN ToDoRoFF. BASKETBALL Continued from Page 42 In the first quarter, Betty Jean Townshend scored seven points for our credit. Marilyn Bell, Beryl Rafuse and Anna Baker played a smooth combination in the last eight minutes. Two out- standing guards, Alma Legg and Phyllis Lick- man, intercepted many of Central's plays.
