Ian Joyce in his attempt to “reach truth,” has built a sundial so that he may see true time. He and his wife in a wave of enthusiasm, bury all their clocks to escape from a mechanized existence. Difficulties arise when Eloise realizes that sun time and standard time do not correspond. She is appalled by the thought of a bleak clockless future. Furthermore, Ian’s friends consider him completely mad and the Joyce’s cook threatens to leave. 14.

SW EETHEART SWIRL The Sweetheart Swirl took place on January 29, and was, in the opinion of most, the best dance which we have held within the last few years. For a full week before the dance an air of ex¬ pectation filled the halls and the question, “Who will be the Sweetheart?” was on the lips of every student. By 8:30 the gym was crowded. Each room had chosen a candidate to represent them. As the stu¬ dents entered the dance they cast a vote for the candidate of their choice. The finalists were judged by Miss Lowery and Mr. Spack. At 10:00 the curtain opened, and the fairest of them all, Miss Carolyn Cowlishaw, was crowned Miss Sweetheart. Miss Donna Whitley and Miss Darcy Case were her princesses. All contestants for Miss Sweetheart were given rose corsages, and the winner received a heart- shaped locket. The decorating committee, under the direction of Carole Fargey, did a tremendous job of giving the gym a special brightness for the gala evening. The success of the Sweetheart Swirl was indeed a reward to all committees who helped with the dance. DRAMA CLUB 1st Row: Eleanor Wilson, Dawney Kwiatkoski, Barbara Foster. 2nd Row: Lyall Dallman, Hugh Andrew, Pete Fischer. COKE DANCE - LEMON AIDE - GRAD CRAB Despite the controversy over the naming of this dance, there was no doubt as to its purpose. A little out of the ordinary, this dance was held on a Wed¬ nesday evening. The doors opened at 8:00 and eyelashes batted until 10:00 giving the hesitant boys a fine opportun¬ ity to ask “the” question. Records were supplied by Ricky McPhail and his Tapping Ten. In conclusion of this social year at Miles Mac- dopell, we of the social Committee would like to express our sincere thanks to the teaching staff who chaperoned the dances and to all those students who served on committees. Each of you in your own way have made possible the success of the Social Year of 1960. —Darcy Case DRAMA CLUB The highlight of the activities of the Miles Mac- donell Drama Club was our production of the com¬ edy, “Tickless Time,” presented to the public at the Variety Concert. To increase our success the people associated with pantomimes put forth a commend¬ able effort. The concert was a sell-out on each oc¬ casion and the audience reaction showed accept¬ ance and appreciation. In December, 1959, the Drama Club invited the Winnipeg Drama League to adjudicate the trial play, “Elmer,” performed by actors of the club. The members who attended this session were given valuable suggestions on proper methods of acting and appropriate staging techniques. An interesting “first” on the part of the Drama Club this year was the worksh op. We sent two del¬ egates, Martha Kotowycz and Joyce-Mary Craven, instruction by Esme Crampton, to the Manitoba Theatre Center. We then had the pleasure of their showing the club members a part of what they had learned. We hope this can be more fully developed next year. The executive of the Drama Club, Hugh Andrew, Dawn Kwiatkoski, and Diane Dolerty extend a special bouquet to our competent sponsor and teach¬ er-director. We are sure all members of the club have enioyed their limited activities and thank them for their support. We sincerely urge all students of Miles Macdonell Collegiate to participate next year. —Hugh G. Andrew XIIA 64
