year.) Santa, who arrived in a rather unexpected way through Mr. Rose ' s chim¬ ney, was more popular than ever this year, and got all present in a joyful mood as they left to begin the holidays. In the New Year, the Music Council and the D r a m a t i c Society again pooled their efforts, to bring the Sadie Hawkins and Valentine ' s Dance to P.H.H.S. . On February 11th. after weeks of joint meetings and preparations, ' Hillbilly Havoc ' , otherwise known as ' Rock Around The You-Know-What ' , was presented. The dance was one of the most successful ever held and was complete with a conglomeration of candy hearts, red and white balloons, a King and Queen of Hearts, hay, little brown jugs, apple cider, and the hit of the evening - square dancing. The Glee Club this year, sponsored by the Music Council, performed at the Toronto Music Festival, and came second. This was the first time that our choir had ever taken part in that competition. The experience was invaluable and will surely provide the incentive for the Glee Club to go on to even greater acclaim in competitions in the years to come. The Music Council sponsored another trip to Toronto on the 27th. , to see the National Ballet of Canada perform the ' Nutcracker Suite ' at the Royal Alexandra. This, too, was a truly delightful performance. The student contest for the May Musicale, which proved so successful last year, is again in full swing and the students are trying their utmost for the opp¬ ortunity to present their talents at this year ' s Musicale. With the Musicale the history of the Music Council of Port Hope High for ' 60- 61 is ended. As we look back we acknowledge the certain people who have been instrumental in making the council successful. To Mr. Werner goes our deepest appreciation for his sound guidance and advice when we became a little too ex¬ cited, and Peter Dent, our President, our sincere thanks. Without his enthusiasm and his conscienciousness the Music Council could never have made it. Thanks again Pete, for a job well done. MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS Back Row: R. Austin, P. Austin, D.

STUDENTS ' COUNCIL STUDENTS’ COUNCIL Back Row: L-R K. McEwen, E. Brown, B. Henley, D. Elliot, P. McKeever, G. Williams, J. Fowler. 3rd Row: J. R aynor, D. Kemlo, V. Yeo, M. Hoskin, G. Delaney, D. Buttars, M. Berry, H. Jardine, Front Row: Mr. J. Scott, (staff advisor), S. Berry, B. Skitch (vice-pres.), Ken Hancock (pres.), J. Denyer (sec.-tres.) N. Wright, Mrs. Ford (staff advisor). By Ken Hancock The organizing of the two parties, The Polka Dots, headed by Pauline Hod- getts, and the Happy Gang, headed by myself, started the ball rolling for this term ' s student activities. The campaigning undertaken by the two groups was a little different this year. There was a Polka Dot shower along with rock n ' roll bands at noon-hour. The week was terminated by speech day as in former years and that evening the results of the campaign were announced at the In and Out dance, the last function sponsored by the preyious year ' s student council. Bill Skitch, a Dot was elected vice president, the president, representing the Happy Gang, was yours truly. Although the numbe r s ran close the majority of the new council were previous supporters of the Polka Dots. . Casper ' s Capers , the Hallowe ' en Dance, was adequately supported by the student body. This proved to be a success both financially and in encouraging the council, their efforts being appreciated. The council formed an inner council consisting of one member from each grade. The inner council met when general matters concerning the council were to be passed. The entire council met at least every month and any other time when finances were involved. At this year ' s commencement exercises a plaque was presented to the val¬ edictorian whose name was engraved on it along with the previous valedictorians from the year 1955-56. This was a combined effort of last year ' s and this year ' s student councils. The dinner for the graduates was held again this year in the high school caf¬ eteria before the graduation exercises commenced. As well as a meal this was a re-union for the students who are now separated by distance. As a new feature, writing pads bearing the school crest were introduced this year. The Christmas programme was run by the music council and the students ' council, the former providing the music and the latter the Santa Claus, this year impersonated by Noel Wright. Due to certain changes in the high school cadet corps, two dances were held in place of the original Cadet and Graduation Dance. The student council sponsored the Spring Prom, which was the high school formal. It was held in the gymna- 40
