14 - Toronto Riverdale Collegigte Concert - hy Marilyn Nodwell 'XII . In the High School auditorium, Friday evening, May Sth, the students of Toronto Riverdale Collegiate - three bus-loads of them and their two conductors, entertained an appreciative audience. The glee club of 60 vocalists Q AO girls and 20 boys - de- lighted the listeners with their opening group of nu bers. Following this a AO-piece band played five nu bers ranging from marches, popular and classical songs. These musicians who have been organized for only a short time set an example for many young musicians to follow. The stage next was the scene of a lively oldityme square- dance. The students participating donned plaid shirts, jeans, and square-dance skirts, while the on-lockers joined in a sing song, WThe Hollywood Square Dancen. Then came the surprise of the evening, a 60-piece orchestra, with tru pets, violins, violas, wood-winds, drums and many others. One of the outstanding numbers was USurprise Symphonyn, with effective work done by the dru mere. It is hoped that this group of young musicians were an in- spiration to the students of O.D.H.S. who have begu their study of music this year. With constant practice and co-operation our school will be able to display such a group as the Riverdale students. maui Q Coronation Queen Q As an added event of interest this Coronation year, the high school students were given an opportunity of chosing a Queen for the Coronation Ball to be held on the evening of June lst.

- Hal1owe'en Dance - by Gloria Cooney XII Soft lights and sweet music were the order of the evening, as the first couples began to arrive for the dance of the year, the Hallowe'en formal. They came slowly at first, then more and more came, until the high school gym seemed alive with colourful dresses and beautiful corsages. Couples floated along to the strains of popular songs. Everywhere gay voices could be heard, and ever one was having a good time. The gym.was beautifully decorated. Boxes covered the lights, bathing the whole room in an enchanting orange glow. Balloons bobbed merrily above the heads of the dancers, and witches flew about on the walls. Some disjointed skeletons danced crazily around too. The stage was garlanded with stalks of corn, and jack-o- lanterns grinned broadly on each individual, as he watched the proceed- ings with shining eyes. However, something new had been added, for in one corner was a wierd looking lady, Petunia by name. Upon closer inspection, people found out that she wasn't Whistler?s grandmother, but only a du my. She was winking openly at another dummy in the next corner. He was a hands me fellow called Clem, and he seemed not at all interested in the poor girl. Like all good, the dance had to some to an end. Reluctantly the crowd dispersed and climbing into the cars, left the school. Everyone was thinking of the wonderful time he or she had had. All agreed that it had been a very good dance, and that they had all enjoyed themselves. 111 -mann - The Cooks - by Mary Jackson XII Frem the English roc , fr m the silence deep, Four lone souls from their places creepy They're off to the room at the end of the hall, To see that at lunch time there's good food for all. They hustle-and bustle, so merry and bright, Such a beautiful scene in their aprons of white. They wonft make you pudding or bake you a cake, But I?ve heard it said they can brew a milkshake. The dishes are shining, a real sight to see, With monogrammed dishcloths by Eleanore B. I They all love their work or so it would seem But really I think that they just love ice cream.
