dents prevailed over common sense and someone ran up to the or- che stra leader and asked for a bunny-hop . Without further ado, Joan Lowe and Donald Taylor were chosen as leaders and the hop'l began. Five minutes later the music was still going but the line was growing much shorter until at last the few survivors were forced to drop from exhaustion. Intermission followed immediately afterwards, and as it was still a reasonably long period before midnight the girls were ob- liged to foot expenses incurred at the snack-bar in the commercial room. Unusually large amounts of food were consumed, but after the bunny-hop the reason was obvious. The events of the evening rolled swiftly onwards after the intermission and it seemed to be no time at all before the orchestra began the farewell waltz, . With the .final bars Twirp Week ended and once again the male was obliged to open the doors., ll ll ll Thoughts by lan McMillan X-A R esting, oh resting on top of the hill, Not even thinking of life and its thrill.

Catgh as Catch ,Can- Since time immemorial, it has been the privilege of man and boy to chase, and prerogative of the weaker consituant of the human race either to run or to be lost., Along with this token of superiority, men have also been allowed the dubious pleasure of pay:- ing for the cheques. Cleopatra agreed with this system., Mark Antony thought that it was wonderful. Elizabeth l watched her courtiers run and enjoyed herself immensely as But -S one Hepsabiah Hawkins, Esq. of Dogpatch county having been pestered by the presence of a rather homely daughter for far too long a period, instituted the Mhonourableu system to be known by us in later days, as Sadie Hawkinls Day, or Head for the hills, the marines have landedlll Thus it was that the tables were turned, for then the women bought themselves running boots and trained for Weeks in preparation of the great day when they would trap the elusive and fleetmfooted male. lt was in this fashion that the Sadie I-Iawkinls custom descended to us, and, although the style has changed slightly, the principle is still the same, for any time during Twirp week that one entered the halls of Orangeville High School, one saw the unfamiliar sight of the boys strolling down the hall with carefree strides and hands in pockets, while toiling along behind, the junior miss could be seen struggling vainly under mountainous piles of books, gym attire and other debris. So ran the course of events during the week, but on Friday, the general topics of conversation all focussed on one event. With the girls, 'VDO you think he has been asked yet? V' and with the boys, HGee! l wonder if shells going to ask me or some other blokell., T he consternation ofthe moment was caused by the nearness of the most important event of the week H The Sadie Hawe- kinls Dance., The job of decorating the gymnasium fell to grade ll this year and despite the fact that it was not proper for the boys to work, everyone pitched in with a will.. The result of their labours was a very delightful combination of deep:-rose lights, crepe paper and poetry. Yes, all along the walls were hung numerous small placards, each of which held a small sample of poetry adroitly penned by some member of grade 13, The dance began promptly at the stroke of eight, with the orchestra of Frankie Banks presiding on the stage. The hall soon filled with dancers who lost no time in stepping to the lively mu- sic. Just before intermission ti.me the insatiable energy of the stum
