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.

25th Anniversary Kdition THE TOWERS Page Sixtv-Tliree CUTTING TWENTY-FI PTH ANNIVERSARY CAKE The 25th Anniversary Cake was gorgeous with its beautiful decorations done by Steve Bolichowski of C Sp. The four-layer cake was topped by a silver “25” surrounded by a fence of white icing. Travelling down the cake intertwined with rope was a beautiful pattern of roses and leaves. The cake was made of a rich dark recipe with the assis¬ tance of the girls from T2, T3 and T4. The cutting of the cake was done by Miss O Dono- ghue with a beautiful silver knife. Miss Fritz, Miss Beasley and Miss Connerty cut the cake after the first cutting by Miss O’Donoghue. It was served to the graduates by a mixed student body who gave their services for the evening. BLACK CAT HOP Since this year is our 25th Anniversary, we deckled to go all out for entertainment. As we liad promised, our Hallowe’en dance was really a super colossal affair. Black cats and yellow pumpkins adorned the walls, while bright strea¬ mers floated above our heads. The musical en¬ tertainment was offered by our ever-lovin’ Jimmy Luckino and his boys. I’m afraid Jimmy couldn’t have managed it so well without the efforts of their cute little songstress, Ruth Rol- let. The regular school crowd was out in full attendance. We also managed to draw out some of the Freshmen. 1 also noticed several of our ex-student crowd present. As usual, the left hand corner of the gym nearest the orchestra was traditionally handed over to the “Jitterbugs”. Those kids are really good too. They really seem to know what they are doing although l sometimes wonder why. As chaperones for our first dance of the season we welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Ross; Miss O’Donoghue; Miss Connerty; Mi McManus; and Mr. Cowgill. I don’t know who Miss Mc¬ Manus ' new beau was, hut 1 did notice that she was enjoying herself tremendously. Refreshments were sold to the hungry young ROUGH RIDER ' S ROMP The annual Rough Rider’s Romp was held in the colourfully decorated gymnasium of the W. I). Lowe Vocational School in November. 1947. A large number danced to the lilting mu¬ sic of Jimmy Luckino’s orchestra. A few of the patrons attending the gala af¬ fair were Mr. and Mrs. Ross. Miss Connerty. Miss McManus, Miss Gregory and Mr. Nelson. Special guests of the evening were the Rugby and Soccer teams. special request was played for Bob Bodnar, the Captain of the Football team. Other members of the teams seen were, Jim LaSorda, John Fazekas. Jack Proctor, Frank Ross, Steve Sohocan and Ken Coon. To add to the enjoyment of the evening, Ruth Rollet and Josic baTessa sang two de¬ lightful songs. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with red, white and blue streamers, and a mir¬ rored hall reflecting coloured lights helped add to the splendour of the evening. The annual Rough Rider’s Romp was enjoyed by all. set. who roamed the halls of the school drinking pop!!! Through the efforts of Miss Connerty with the decoration of the gym and the refreshments, it was a gala affair. Everyone had a swell time.
