Ju'ne,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 73 who spoke of the opportunities which they share as students of the Tech. A genial Techalogue reporter comments that, 'KThe rest of the evening was filled with dancing, games and lunch. Mr. E. C. F. Chan, who acted as master of ceremonies, was responsible for much of the success for the whole evening. mi-km., SECOND YEAR PARTY Under the excellent management of Mr. Welch and Miss Scrim- geour, the second year students enjoyed the novelty of an indoor field meet. The results of all events from a discus throw fpie plate, that ish to the dash were recorded on a huge score-board. Four teams with original titles and yells sharpened the competition and heighten- ed the interest. After such vigorous work-outs the athletes were refreshed by a lovely lunch. The pleasant evening ended with dancing and murmurs of satisfaction. ,gl FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS HAD PLEASING PARTY Outstanding in the social events of the senior students was the fourth year party. Music was furnished by Spike Jones and His City Slickersf' while the work of master of ceremonies was handled by Jack Hagerman. The fourth year reporter who wrote up this party was most sparing of details, but he does make it clear that there was consider- able Jivin' and Jumpin', along with a minimum of conventional dances such as waltzes. .,.y.., THIRD YEAR STUDENTS HAD A LIVELY PARTY Ongthe evening. of November 2 the third year party was held in the auditorium. Music was provided by a wurlitzerganel Mr. A. H. Finlay as master of ceremonies kept the programme going at a good rate. A feature of the evening was a contest held in the middle of the floor: Each of two girls was given a grapefruit to hold under her chin. Two boys had the almost impossible task of transferring the grapefruits to a resting place under their own chins-all without the use of hands. ..T.-gg., HARD TIMES DANCE PROVED INTERESTING Straw hats, overalls, and broom sticks were some of the signs of merriment as the crowd swung and swayed to the music of Frank Wieler and his College Nine on the occasion of the Hard Times Dance. Jack Hagerman of 4B, 1945, was master of ceremonies and kept things running smoothly. The Techalogue has received only a scanty story of this event, but everyone who was there appears to have had an excellent time.

72 THE TEGHALOGUE J1me,1946' FRESHIES FIND INITIATION FUNNY AS WELL AS SOBERING For days before initiation the halls and campus were full of interest on account of the many and varied costumes worn by the freshmen and freshettes. These of course were at the direction of the seniors and their committee. Nothing but goodwill and co-operation was found among the first year students. If it had to be so, then it had to be. In consequence there was a minimum of Court casesl' this year and a consequent surge of goodwill from seniors to freshies. Some of the outfits included old flour sacks with a towel tied around sarong style, gaudy rags around their legs, hair pulled through a hole in a cardboard, blacked noses, and eyes widely circled with red. In spite of all these peculiar dress items, the freshies went about trying hard to look calm if not otherwise. The historic imposition of being required to carry the seniors' books was also insisted upon. As one freshie said to a Techalogue re- porter, I don't understand how the seniors do so much homework. It seems theylve brought every book they own. At 2 olclock on the afternoon of the initiation all freshies were assembled and paraded to Cairns' Field for the opening rugby game. Hundreds of people lined the route of march for no other reason than to see and laugh at the variety of costumes worn by these happy youngsters. The whole affair compared favorably with the initiation of other years as regards originality and organization. il-AY-l FRESHIE COURT METED OUT IUSTICE- AND SOME MERCY! Other years they did-but this year? This year they were brought to reckoning. Judge Norm Greggain presided, while Joe Flynn prose- cuted them ibut literallyl. Witnesses to verify the crimes committed by these freshies were readily found. After the jury deliberated seriously f?J for some seconds they agreed on just punishment to be handed to the victims or, should we say, offenders. Complaints weren't meant seriously and everyone including the freshies thought it lots of fun fit says herel. At least the courts in the future ought to be spirited if some members of it cherish mem- ories to be revenged. .lflx OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TAKEN BY FRESHIES The annual first year party held on the evening of September 28 served to initiate the boys and girls of Grade IX into the social life and responsibilities of the school. The Students' Representative Coun- cil once more provided the funds necessary for this fine party. After giving enthusiastic class yells, the crowd settled down for the serious business of the oath of allegiance, which was adminis- tered to the boys by Norman Greggain and to the girls by Vivian Hatchard. After this, the Senior Rings led the crowd in a grand march. A warm welcome was extended to the new students by Mr. Humphries
