The At Home EEKS of preparation slipping by, brought February lflth upon us sooner almost than we had expected. During the last Week, P.N.S. experienced a rejuvenation! The Assembly Hall became a ballroom with coloured streamers and gaily fluttering bluebirds. Dainty dolls and Valentine hearts brightened the walls and Dan Cupid with his arrow was everywhere. From basement to attic no detail was omitted. The Normal School radiated a genuine At Homel, atmosphere. By eight-thirty, the building was filled with students and their guests. Proud parents, fond admirers, and special friends made up a happy, care- free audience of more than five hundred, duly welcomed by Jim Covert and Mr. Copp. For entertainment, the members of the Literary Society under the direction of Messrs. McKinney and Woodruff produced a gay Operetta, The Ghost of Lollypop Bay. So well did each perform his part that no star could be named unless we record the stellar performance of Lillian Osborne, the pianist. The romantic theme of the Operetta enhanced the spirit of the occasion. After a brief flurry backstage the performers joined the audience for dancing, lunch and games. Everywhere seemed the same! Good cheer. gay hearts and merry laughter. Too soon indeed came two o'clock in the morning. The At Home was over. The finery disappeared. But for the students, treasured memories of the gala event of our Normal School Year remain. -ARDEN MCLEAN. The Sleigh Ride g HANKS to the heat generated by pressure of work, operetta rehearsals, and the general rush and push of Normal School year, our very capable Athletic Society decided a cooling off by sleigh ride was the very thing for us. Accordingly, three sleighs witnessed dozens of sweatered and rounded figures bustling out of the rather conservative Normal School one winter's night, and in single file slowly tinkled out towards Well covered roads and piled up drifts. Somewhat crowded, all made themselves reasonably comfortable until one young lady accidentally fell off the sleigh. As if by magic all sleighs were cleared of cargo and the long trek to find a quiet resting place for Weary bodies began. Let us not mention the bodies hurtling through space, the groups of characters waddling and puffing through the snow ,the torn ligaments, the bruised and battered bodies, the dismembered arms and legs tossed into snowbanks. No, let us pass along hurriedly to the drive back home, the sensation of sitting moodily in wet clothes and at last the opportunity of cutting ourselves down to proper size as extra sweaters and Windbreakers and so forth were removed. Our competent Berenice Spencer had all in readiness in the Assembly Hall, and perched comfortably on warm radiators we regained conscious- ness and feeling with lovely tomato soup, food and coffee. So ended an eventful evening, but it really was good fun-something to be missed and remembered in future days. -JOHN RYCKMAN. Page Thirty-one
