The dance started with arranged couples together for the first two numbers, followed by a Paul Jones , and then everyone was on their own for the rest of the evening. During the intermission, the Talented Few gave more examples of their talent HJ, and then left. the house open to a sing-song, starting with the Price rendition of Alouette . Following the intermission more dancing took place. This was briefly and pleasantly interrupted with a piano solo by a Havergal student. At 11 :30 the four-wheeled hustlers took the ladies back to their own school, climaxing a full evening of social activity. Credit for the dance go to the l'ommittee, Social Uonvenor Jim MacLean, and to the Ayre- Feldman combo on the records.

hallowe 'en N 'rms GLORIOUS OCCASION, NYE sAw 'rule Br:'1 l'ER sims ot' our handsome mem- bers. Creative genius and sheer artistry touched with imagination took us from our books as we put on our costumes and made up for the party. During' the course of the meal, served by the staff, many of us looked at each other, laughed, sang, and had a generally good time. Once more the impresario of Alouette , Garry Price, higrhlighted the evening' with his rocking version. As far as the costumes were concerned, the Beacon QFDLSJ won the most applause with his creation, specially designed for the occasion. The focusing point of the evening' took place on the stage, where future valuable N.B.C. property, namely Silent -lack Posluns, gave various perfected noises-he's not the only one around here, but he's the first, and that's something. The skits were well executed by staff and students, and it was hard to tell which happy little group did the best, but terrific ,jobs were done by all. Also, the Talented Few swaying' with their B2lll1lJ00-Bllllgill0W and Five-Foot-Two rocking' versions, were well done. This writer's choice for the niost versatile student, Brant XVilson, grave an interesting pantomine of Chloe , again well done. Then on the screen came Lloyd Bridges and Moira Lister in the 'limping' Man , a release of some two years pastg this climaxed the evening: All told this year's Halloween was one of the Best Times ot' the Year, and it is hoped that more of the same calibre will follow. -Dox Hixxms Nineteen

FOOTBALL DANCE FTER MANY HoURs OF DECORATING AND PREPARING the school auditorium was finally presentable for the annual Football Dance. The decorations were on the theme of the successful undefeated Senior Squad and all the other teams which made this year a standout. You could sense the mood of gaiety and excitement as the couples danced to the vibrant tones of Jim Saskings band from the University of Toronto. Prizes were won by John Brownlee, Brant XVilson, and their femmes. Many old boys returned for the occasion and it was said more than once that it was the best dance yet. In closing, we would like to thank the committee, and decorators, and the Social Convenor who provided a good evening as a climax to a good season. -llovo i,'I.ARKI'I SPRING FORMAL DANCE HE SPRING FORMAL is a dance held annually, every year, in the Spring. It is a formal dance in which music is provided, this year by Hal llaskell and his Rhythm-Flivvers who provided the music. There was a great deal of dancing done on the auditorium fioor by both members of both sexes amidst the delicate, dark, senuous scenery of Mr. Al Jewell who designed and executed the scenery. Spotted between the dances being danced on the shiny tl-oor of the auditorium by the members dancing were eempetitions, snacks, and retreshments for those not dancing and for those, dancing, who wished an excuse to quit dancing for just a little while. These are usually provided at dances because the activity is strenuous requiring fuel and this fuel is found within the snacks and ret'resh- ments, but not in the eompetitionsl which were served at this Spring lforinal. The competitors can then return to the combat, which is the dancing, renewed and refreshed in vigour. As can be seen it was a wondert'ul Spring Fornial and we all hope that another annual one is held next year in the Spring. 'BAL H.xI,1,.xoHr:I: Twenty-one
