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. Members of the team were: Forwards-Marilyn Bell, Betty jean Town-

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.

St. Thomas vs. South South Girls' Basketball team invited the girls from St. Thomas Vocational School to a game in our gymnasium. The game was fast and well played with Marilyn Bell piling up the majority of points for the t'Garnet and Grey . The South girls won the game with a score of 2441. After the game an appetizing meal was served to the teams by the members of the G.A.A. Later, South made the journey to St. Thomas. Here again they played their way to another victory. South led all the way with the final score standing at 30-14. The team then enjoyed a delicious meal served by the St. Thomas girls and returned home, tired but happy. ' Tech vs. South The Senior Girls' Basketball team met their first defeat Friday, February 15th, at the Tech- nical School when they were outscored 26-20. The Tech team led by Marion Clarke was swift and tricky. They piled up points in the first half and South was not able to overcome this lead. QThe team puts part of the blame on the ride in Anna Baker's carj. Although the game was a defeat, We're in the game but not for fame , and the girls thor- oughly enjoyed it. Editor's Note The girls wish to thank Miss MacFarlane, Miss Thompson and Miss Nichols who have made our girls' sports one of the main activities in the school. They have devoted a great deal of their time after school to training those in- terested in badminton, baseball and basketball. MR. E. C. HILL AND MR. L. MCCALL These two men over the years have given most faithful service to the school. Their excellent work in caring for the building and equipment is very deeply appreciated. We would like to express our appreciation for their constant willingness, too, in helping in all kinds of extra duties involved by parties and extra-curricular activities. , 69
