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

dances THR ALI,-TEEN IMNVE N FRBRL',xRv 25 THE 1,oeAL AND eoLLEGE ours and their gals all met in the Pickering College gym for our All-Teen dance. Social convenor Brant iVil- son and his staff arranged the recorder and lighting, making for an enjoyable gathering. An intermission provided the dancers with some enjoyable entertainmentg the talented few swung into action with some odd and cool arrangements. The Toscanini group this time included -lohn Brownlee, Dick Elson, Harry Smith, liarry McMullen, Laurie Sewell, and the Tosc himself, Big Brant. A special treat was given by our answer to Dean Martin, Earle Zinneman. His repetoire included Sway , a general chorus on H16 Tons , and finally, O Mein Papa',. Hur dancing resumed. There followed a bunny-hop among other forms of dancing all totalling a good time. Credits for the dance go mainly to Brant VVilson and Earle Zinneman. Both were terrific. -DoN H.ARRIS lI.ixvi4:Ro.x1, DANUR N EVENING 'ro RANK IN oUR H1s'roRY was that of November twelfth when about fifty lovelies from Havergal College graciously entered our doors to dance with our own gents. 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. Many of the students hope for a return dance with Havergal in the future - this one was terrific. Twenty

The Christian life was considered from many points of view-those ot staff, students, and visitors -and the ideas presented were complimented by readings gleaned from great and good men of other generations and societies. The Headmaster took as his text tor the opening service of the School year, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven , he thus established a high note of as- piration and idealism related to the lite and work ot the school which he ef- fectively reiterated in January, challenging us with concept ot The Good Future . At the reception service for new students, Mr. David P. Rogers, vice- chairman ol' the Board of Management, read the lesson from the Macklin Bible proffered to him by Dale Boyceg on this occasion Mr. Beer spoke to the school motto, Bene prnrifwz p1'inr'i11if1 1l0lNl?lf'lll'. At Christmas and Easter he shared with the school his meditations on the great Christian mysteriesg the singing ot' Mrs. Beer, members ot the tllee Club, and the First House Choir added greatly to these services. Against the background ot' the year's endeavours, the tlraduating Class were reminded by the Headmaster at the closing service of the responsibilities inherent in the Athenian Youth 's lleclaration ot' Citizen- ship when he entitled his address t'Thus in all these ways ..... 'l Once again we are happy to express our gratitude to Sunday evening visi- tors who have enlarged our vision by reviewing for the school the religions con- victions behind their varying experiences ot life. llnder the title A Concern for Pakistan , Dorothy Starr, of the Society of l+'riends, described in frank and moving personal terms her work with the needy in that country. Later in the year, after a service marking Brotherhood XVeek, Mr. XVallace Forgie gave an illustrated talk to the school on his children 's camp near Madras in India. Rabbi Eisen ot Holy Blossom Temple was again a welcome guest, he spoke to the school on Preparing to llive t'reatively . Tl1e religious conviction as well as the musical skill of the ltlcllaster l'niversity Quartette were impressive, Mr. Walter Klaasser explained how the group came to be formed, and Mr. lloward Johnston gave a searching' address entitled, XVhat's your Purpose? .Xn equally stimulating question was discussed by Mr. C. Le-Roy Jones, of the Toronto Yearly Meeting: Do Ye liven So To Them? Reverend R, Stuart Twenty-two
