We hope to see them all again next year. llluch of the success of the dance was due to the President, Mr. Harold Botnick and his very capable committee. The decorations were in charge of Bliss lfayme Nlontgornery, assisted by a most energetic group of students whose untiring efforts helped to make the evening the unqualified success it was.

'Ghz TAt TI'fome HE social event of the year was the Annual Christmas dance held in the school gymnasium. Some five hundred students, and ex-students assembled to enjoy the excellent music provided by Ferde ltlowry and his orchestra. The big gym was decorated in a modernistic arrangement of the school colours, garnet and grey. Festoons and streamers from the softened lights to the gallery made the gymnasium look like a fairy palace. At the extreme end rose the orchestra stand placed aganist a background of black and silver. Directly behind it, on a black background stood a modernistic tree. flanked by two huge red candles, and from either side of that stretched long black panels on which sailed majestically along over blue waves. two red ships with silver sails emblazoned with the double insignia of the school. P.C.I. and P.V.S. Silver fish danced merrily out of the Water. Above, blue and silver clouds glided along. Two large baskets were filled with artificial snowballs and icicles which caught t.he light as they floated from the balcony. Sweet music and soft light lent an air of enchantment to the whole. Supper was served about midnight in the Upper hall, the catering being capably handled by Hooper's, whose dainty refreshments were indeed welcomed. -GQ-
