A general election- complete with ballot box and voter's list-climaxed the struggle. The first meeting of the society for the term was held on November IO and took the form of a Remembrance Day programme. The guest speaker, Rev. Mr. Hampson, pastor of Fenwick United Church, gave an instructive and inspiring address. On December 2.11. the Christmas meeting of the Literary Society was held in the assembly hall. The main feature was an auction sale of articles don- ated by teachers and students. From the mystery packages everything from scrap paper to a . . a temperamental mule appeared. A tidy sum was real- ized which was sent to the Star Santa Claus Fund. The Literary programme for February II was in the capable hands of Grade X. It consisted of musical numbers and summaries of the visit to Tor- onto given by various students of the form. HALLC5VE'l5lT3ARTY The Annual Halloween Party and Masquerade this year came well up to the high standard of former years. Gay streamers of orange and black transformed the gymnasium into a veritable home for hobgoblins. George Washington, the scarecrovv from The Wizard of Oz, a little cowgirl and a chubby milkmaid all turned out to assist the witches in making the occasion a memorable one. During the earlier part of the evening, moving pictures were shown and later dancing to the music of the Bontonian orchestra was enjoyed. Delicious refreshments were served by julia Dilts and her committee and in surprisingly short time the Home YValtz was played. P. C. S. had put behind her another long-to-be-remembered school party. VALENTINE PARTY Students of P. C. S. paid their due respects to St. Valentine by a dance held in his honour. Moving pictures of the sinking of the Graf Spee occupied the early part of the evening and were followed bydancing to the rhythm of the Bontonians. During the lunch hour two former students of the school favoured with vocal solos: Jacqueline Benallick, who sang South ofthe Bor- der, and Joe Guinn, whore solo was entitled Sweetheart. There were various novelty dances among them a Leap Year Dance, and another special dance which was won by Marion Mitchell and her partner, John Wiley. A shower of gay red balloons from the balcony added greatly to the enjoyment and amusement of everyone, and all too soon another delightful evening was brought to a close.
