DANCE COMMITTEE The Oakwood Dance Committee has enjoyed a very successful year. Our program began with the Sadie Hawkins , which was a huge success. Following this we presented the Reindeer Romp , our annual Christmas dance, where good old St. Nick appeared as usual to round out the evening. The biggest success of the year was the At-Home, called Spanish Hearts because it fell on St. Valentines Day. The gyms were transformed into colourful scenes of old Spain, while the games room was a market place cafe. Thanks are deserved by Mr. McDonald, our staff advisor and Bob Francis, our pre- sident, who have helped us provide Oakwood with some of the best dances in its history. Bobbe WeUl Standing: Ernie McCullough, Bob Francis. Seated: Martha Woodside, Mr. McDonald, Bobbe Weill. OBSERVER The objectives of the Observer this past year were two- fold. We endeavoured both to publicize school events and to organize each issue so that it would appeal to as large a segment of the student body as possible. Our efforts to reach these goals included the cover on the January issue of the Observer advertising the Masquer ' s production of The Madwoman of Chaillot. The Ob- server ' s content was also enlivened by such columns as the High-Brow , Odd Man In , an enlarged sports section, and informative Roving Reporter articles. The staff of the Observer sincerely thank Oakwoodites who made our success this year possible and we remind all Oakwoodites that Oakwood is the Observer and the Observer is Oakwood . Art Kamin Standing: Vince del Buono, Allan Burger, Stewart Ross, Mark Sydney, Bernard Marlowe. Seated: Fred Hutcheson, Bob Abrey, Mrs. WUson, Arthur Kamin, George Iwaniuk. STAGE CREW For the first time in several years, the Stage Crew began with a big bang because it had more members than it knew what to do with. The several new grade niners were trained by Mark Corden and Doug Hennebury. Besides the occasional assemblies, another important task was the Sadie Hawkin ' s dance, which was followed by the Christmas dance. Later on the Stage Crew had to help the Dance Committee with The At-Home , the Phy- sical Education Department with Physorama and then the Music Department with Music Nights. Its biggest effort was devoted to the production of The Madwoman of Chaillot by the Masquers. Many thanks are deserved by all the boys for helping the various clubs make a successful year for Oakwoodites.

AAASQUERS This year, the Masquers presented a most lively colour- ful production — The Madwoman of Chaillot by Jean Giradoux. Under the direction of Miss Dunlop, our club sponsor, the cast spent much time rehearsing after school for the nights of the performance on February 6, 7, and 8. The result, indeed, justified all the preparation and hard work involved in such a production. Marcy Jakab did a wonderful job as the Madwoman of Chaillot and the rest of the cast outdid themselves in their sparkling per- formances. Again Oakwood entered the Simpson ' s Drama Festival, this time with the play Hope is a Thing with Feathers by Harrity and directed by Frank Liebeck. The Masquers would like to thank the stage crew, the ward- robe mistresses, prop girls, make-up groups and the members of the staff and student body without whose asssitance they should never have been able to get the show on the road. Brenda Silverstein Currents Events Club Standing: Richard Sutton, Mark Sydney, Mr. Coutts, Bob Lenkinski, Bryce Fisher, E31iot Fine. Seated: Dr. Hill, Lynn Cotey, Brenda Silverstein (Presi- dent), Mary McBride, Anne Mason, Mr. Gordon. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB ORGANIZATION The Cu jent Events Club Organization, which encom- passes the United Nations Club and Citizens ' Forum, holds its own meetings of current interest to the school body. With the invaluable assistance of our sponsor. Dr. Hill, we were able to bring several interesting guest speakers to the school, including the Public Affairs officer for the American Consul in Toronto, and Mr. McGibbon, treasurer of Imperial Oil. Our programme was varied with some very interesting educational films. This year, with the help of Mr. Coutts, the school was again able to enjoy some excellent noon-hour movies. Mr. Tovell authorized two assemblies this year, one to commemorate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the other United Nations Day. The United Nations Club participated in the tenth annual United Nations Model Assembly representing Morocco. Under Mr. Gordon ' s sponsorship Oakwood ' s delegation was runner up for the Trivitt award, given annually to the best participating group in the Model Assembly. Citizens ' Forum this year discussed topics ranging from L.B.J, to the F.L.Q. under the guidance of Dr. Hill and Miss Rogers. The highlight of the year was a dis- cussion held at Midland Secondary in Scarborough on the topic Discrimination: National and International .
