Social ' Qvenfo OPENING DANCE Our first “mingling of the masses” came early in the year when the annual opening dance was held in the “Y”. The object of this dance was to announce the members of the Students’ Council. At first the opening was a little tense, but as soon as we began to recognize a face here and there we departed with the feeling that the coming year wasn’t going to be so bad after all. HALLOWE ' EN MASQUERADE As the old saying goes, “It started the year out right.” The fellows and gals all wore masks and were dressed either hard-time or masquerade. They “tripped the light fantastic” to the music of the school band. George Hart, dressed as a devil, won the prize for the boys. Pearl Swainson, dressed as a rugby player, won the girls’ prjze. Cokes and doughnuts were sold by the Social committee and a good time was had by all. SADIE HAWKINS The girls of C.H.S. really had themselves a time during the annual Sadie Hawkin’s week. Invitations were delivered by our mail carriers and the boys were treated to a free week of entertainment. The dance was held at the “Y” and provided an evening of real fun. The boys and girls were dressed either dog patch style or in calico and jeans. A prize was given for the best dressed boy and girl. This was won by Barney Crawford and Helen Mackay. The prize for the best beard was won by Don Pierlot. The girls were in their glory because all the dances were ladies (?) choice. The “do” ended at 11 o’clock when the girls proudly walked their favorite catches home. CHRISTMAS SEMI-FORMAL This, the most successful event of 1949. really topped the year off right. It was the annual Christmas semi-formal dance which was held at the “Y” on December 22. The hall was decorated in tasteful Christmas fashion, the centre of interest being the lighted tree in the middle of the floor. The girls looked “swish” in their best formals, with corsages which were given them by their favorite beaux and escorts. The band, lead by Mr. Merta, supplied wonderful music and our president was master of ceremonies. Later Ol’ Santa Claus himself appeared to give out the gifts. Cokes and doughnuts were sold by the social committee and the dance lasted till 1 o’clock.
