58 THE ECHCES Saab! ONE of the most important phases of school life at the P. C. V. S. is that of the school dances, rugby banquets and basketball lunches. Even more important than these are the Annual At Home and the Commencement dance. A great deal of credit is due to the social committee under the capable chairmanship of Mr. L. -I. Pettit. Other members of this committee are lyliss Mary O'Connell, Miss Helen McGregor, Mr. H. L. Collingwood, Isabel VVray, Lenore Lewis, Gordon Johnston and -lim Morrow. Rvoisv BAxQL'ETs The rugby teams this year merited the fine Banquets served to them after each home game. The girls offered their services as waitresses and could be seen almost any Saturday morning in the school gymnasium, busy decorating tables and buttering bread. This year the boys of the teams supplied the more staple food such as cabbages and pies, and certainly did justice to them. After the banquets the melodious strains of Lost started the rugby fans on a gay evening of dancing to Bill Wheeler and his orchestra. COMBIEXCEBIENT DANCE After the commencement exercises a dance, which was open to the graduating classes and students of third, fourth and hfth forms, was held in the school gymnasium. Music supplied by George Broadley and his trio provided an excellent background for the fun of the evening. THE Ar HOME Glowing with colour and soft lights our gymnasium was filled to capacity on lYednesday evening. December twenty-ninth, for one of the largest dances in the history of this centre of learning. Over live hundred people attended. It was one of the gayest and prettiest events in the Yuletide calendar with every detail arranged to perfection by the Students' Council, under whose auspices the dance was held. May we extend our appreciation to the following who served as patrons and patronesses: Dr. and Mrs. H, R. H. Kenner, Dr. and Mrs. A. Moir, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Pettit, Mr. and Mrs, L. M. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. XV. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Johnston, and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Richardson. The decoratixe scheme, which was elaborate and striking, was carried out in school colours of garnet and grey, with silver and black highlights. The committee, under the leadership of Bliss BI. Blontgomery, did very excellent work in this capacity. The supper was served at midnight, catered for by llessrs. Hooper and Sons. Blose Yokom and his ten-piece orchestra supplied the music for dancing and all too soon the most successful dance of our school year was brought to a close.

This pessimistic outlook is exactly what the Camera Club is striving to overcome, and in the light of that statement our object is to have a club of optimists f those individuals who look on the bright side of life and with a clear view. The executive of this years club is as Iollows: Honorary President Mr. Y. R. Henry President Bill Donaldson Yice-President jean Flett Secretary Margaret Parker Treasurer jack Craig and an advisory committee of live members: Evelyn Lawless, Fred and Tom Hooper, Bill Henry, and Barrie -lack. This year at the initial meeting so many members turned out to learn the dos and don'ts of photography that one of the first steps taken by the newly- elected officers was that of equipping a second dark room. Since even with this second dark room accommodation was still taxed, a system was adopted whereby members having study periods might use two of these per week in the dark room. lYe are very grateful to Dr. Kenner for granting us this privilege. Most of the students know the purpose of the club, but to those who do not may I explain? XYe hold fortnightly meetings at which we learn iirst the rudirnents such as developing and printing our own rolls. Then, as the season advances, topics such as enlarging, taking of silhouettes, indoor photography, etc., are dealt with. This year a Iirst attempt was made by some of the Senior Members of the club to produce their own personal Christmas cards. As in previous years, the Students' Council granted the Camera Club permission to select and distribute the school Christmas cards. Two cards were selected by the executive, and these were posted on the bulletin board in the main hall, with injunctions to the senior forms to make their selection by vote. YX'e were quite unfortunate this year in losing our president, Bill Donaldson. through illness. XYe sincerely hope that Bill will be back to lead the club to greater achievements next year. In the meantime, Jean Flett, the vice-president, at the unanimous request of the club members, has very ably assumed the duties attached to the presidency. BIARGARET PARKER
