25th Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Sixty-One MILITARY BALL FOR 1947 Commencing at 9:00 o’clock on the evening of May 16, 1947. the W. D. Lowe Vocational School held its Annual Ball for the Cadets. The Gym had been decorated as usual by our very efficient Social Director. Miss Connerty. Streamers of Red. hite and Blue crepe hung diagonally across the ceiling of the Gym. Many Coloured balloons hung from the streamers. The girls had gone all out for the formal dress of perhaps the 19th century, for the gowns were nearly all of this history style. Hair-do’s were all piled high in tiny curls for the girls, while the boys had used buckets of hair tonic to keep that stubborn cowlick down. Among the students were James Smith with Janet Corbin, Mary Johnson with Jimmy Warick, Beth McNab with Bob Choldacotte, Doris Brown with George Pastic. Ruth Rollet with Doug Price and Josie La Tessa with Toni lannetta. Most of the teaching staff were present to enjoy the fun with the students. Hal Campbell provided the very entertaining music. About 10:30 Miss O’Donoghue led the Grand March. It was a very festive affair as the students circled the floor in two’s and then came up in four’s. Refreshments were served after the march. At the close of the dance, the balloons were pulled down for the girls by dates who had the longest arms. All in all. everyone had a wonderful evening, which I am sure they will remember for a long time.

Page Sixty THE TOWERS 25th Anniversary Edition JUNIOR Red Cross By THERESA KEREKES What does Junior Red Cross mean to our thousands of Canadian Youth who work along with millions of Junior Red Cross members all over the world? So magnificent was Florence Nightin¬ gale’s work during the Crimean War that a Swiss gentleman by the name of Henri Dunant decided to set up voluntary organizations to help the wounded on the battlefield irrespective of nationality. Because of his efforts, the Red Cross came into being and took as its emblem the familiar red cross on a white background. Miss M. ODONOGHUE. Miss Y. GIGNAC, Miss M. HAY, THERESA KEREKES. Mr. S. R. ROSS We now come to the part our Junior Red Cross plays: Do you realize that half of the children of Europe, born during the war, have died from under-nourishment. It is not money they must have to live—it is strengthening foods; such as, milk, eggs, and orange juice to build strong bodies and healthy minds; cod-liver oil and other medicines to help fight off the dread di¬ seases which stalk through hungry wartorn Europe. Diseases ready to strike down the most helpless, the most important of the people—the children. It has been said that no better soil exists for hatred and bitterness between men, than want and suffering. These children of Europe (those that are left) will think they have nothing to lose by cruelty and warfare. But if they can remember food given them when they were hungry, warmth when they were cold, balm to soothe their aches and pains, they will remember also the giver of these things and kindly feel¬ ings will have space to grow. Who can bring them these things? You can. Soon after the first World War when a peacetime program of Red Cross was decided upon, it was agreed that school boys and girls might participate in this programme. Thus Junior Red Cross became Red Cross in the schools. The motto of the peacetime Junior Red Cross is “I SERVE” and the aims are Health, Service, Good Citizenship and Inter¬ national Friendliness. How can you help these children? (Continued on Page 79)
