Social Activities HE SOCIAL YEAR AT PICKERING COLLEGE has been extremely successful, The school spirit has been very good, and therefore it was possible for our social activities to be enjoyed by all. We started off with New Boys' Day - a day that is famous at Pickering College. The New Boys dreaded it, while the Old Boys wrung their hands with glee at the tortures they handed out. This year, as in the past, the festivities ground to a stop with skits by the New Boys and then everyone watched a. movie. Once again Pep Rallies were employed to lift our spirits to even greater heights before certain big games. The entertainment was all of a riotous nature, and it all seemed to help us make a success out of the big game. The first opportunity for our girl friends to visit the school was the Football Dance. The decorating, under the guidance of Mr. Jewell and Elio Agostfim, changed what is a rather plain Assembly Hall into a veritable dreamland. Another social tradition was observed again this year. We had the girls of Ontario Ladies' College to a dance before Christmas, and they in turn invited us there after Christmas. The Chairmanls Ball this year was another very enjoyable evening. The choice of records was appropriate for it suited the mood and the girls were noted as being particularly beautiful. This is one dance that can be enjoyed by all because the cost is almost negligible. We hope that it shall be even a. bigger success in future years. Once again the Old Boys, the athletes of years gone by, througed through the portals to challenge our First Hockey team and our Senior Basketball team. Youth, stamina and skill were on the side of the current Pickering teams and both Old Boys' teams departed, after a most enjoyable evening, wiser in the knowledge that they are not as young as they were as students. The highlight of the social year is the Spring Formal. This year as in the past. distances from the school made no difference. Everyone who attended felt. that the decorations alone were worth coming for. Congratulations to the decorating com- mittee under Dafue Seibert, lll r. J ewell, and Mr. Chu. The music was delightful and the band of Barry Chute did an exceptionally fine job in their choice of music. Once again many stayed around for the Quaker Relays held on Memorial Field the next day. As always, the Halloween and Christmas banquets provided a nice change ot' pace here at school. Santa Clause arrived on time this year, but had misplaeed a few of his key gifts. His helper Fizzer the Fairy helped find the lost gifts, and brought happiness to all at Pickering. After our reminiscences of the past school year, we can only say that it has been a complete success, and we hope and believe that next year will be even a better one. Bon Hnxrox Tzecrliy-'Him'
