Being the first school sponsored event of the session, the enthusiasm of the students was augmented by the music of the Royal Serenaders. The highlight of the evening, of course, was the presentation of the school rings by the principal, Mr. Richard Jewell. Marching jubilantly through the magnificent gold ring surrounded overhead by a ceiling of green and white streamers, each senior, filled with anticipation and anxiety for a memorable fun-filled yet accomplished school year, excitedly accepted his ring and descended the steps of the platform. Amidst a gaiety of laughter and conversation, the graduates proudly and secretly admired their rings, enjoying the feeling of self-pride and confi- dence which has continually been asserted by each former Prince George alumnus at his respective high school ring dance.
