Everyone was busy with school work, but we still had time to plan social events. After much debate as to what type of event to have we decided to sponsor a Cabaret Night. With this decision made, refreshment, entertainment and decorating committees quickly went to work to make the evening a long-remembered one. Finally the big night, November 30, arrived. Banquet Hall was decorated as a night club. Tables were placed around the dance floor, while the walls and pillars were hung with bright streamers. Later in the evening a floor show was presented and was enjoyed by everyone. Other plans for social events include a spring dance, which we expect to give in May. During the year our Class has tried to co-operate with the Student Council in all matters. In the monthly class meetings, various motions were made and passed, such as our vote to give part of our Student Activity Fee to support the Melodic Line. We hope to accomplish even more next year as Juniors, both in social events and school improvements.

SOPHOMORES The Class of ' 51 returned to N. E. C. in the fall, resolved to make a success of its Sophomore year. As Sophomores we hoped to do more for the students and the schcjol than we had been able to do as Freshmen. Although we missed some of our friends in the Diploma Course who had become Juniors, we were glad to welcome new members from other schools.
