DA CE COMMITTEE Each Week the Dance Committee meets to discuss and plan the different activities to come. Under the direction of R. Boucher and D. Ryan the members work together to improve the weekly dances. D. Girouard puts his artistic talents to work in helping decorate the hall and making posters. He is truly an asset to the committee. All work hard to make the dances the best possible. The end result is shown by the increase in attendance at the Parish Hall every Saturday night. We greatly acknowledge the help of D. Binette who has helped in many ways such as being our disc jockey at the weekly dances. However, he has been replaced by R. Cote, a member ofthe Student Council. 67

An overall plan or sketch is first created by these members Y. Rochefort, M. Dumas, D. Davies, B. Henri and I. Girouard. As the prom approaches the committee is faced with endless meetings, discussions, and de- bates which culminate in the big- gest event ofthe year. The re- warding outcome is well worth the ellort employed in the preparation lor this long-to-he-remembered occasion. lt seemed impossible that such organized beauty could come out of such an apparent chaos. But it did. Papers strewn all over the llloor, seniors dabbing with water paint, cardboard cutouts hanging from a string ill-disposes any curious hy- siander who happens to venture into the hall. When the memorable event takes place, all aching mus- cles are forgotten, as one gazes into his starry-eyed companion. Although the biggest job will be on the actual floor and walls of the hall, nevertheless, much time is saved by diligent planning by 1. Neault, A. Duquette and R. Collard. PR OM D. Loranger finds out that much deliberation and time must be consumed before an enticing theme can be put forth to the general assembly. He re ceives, however, much help from J. Langevin and P. Perreault.

BA D This year the aims of our band are to give the student body a better knowledge of music appreciation and to regale the faithful fans with a varied selection. Under the recently initiated music plan, our band has shown a tremendous improvement. Mr. Drapeau, now full-time music instructor as well as band director, has been hard at work giving separate attention to each section as well as general instructions at re- hearsals. Last year, after a series of drills to im- prove maneuvers and unit coordination, the band placed first in regional competition. Another happy result of their ambition for improvement was the winning of an Excellent rating at last year's music festival held in Portland. Various plans, such as the john Philip Sousa Award which was given to last year's most deserving band member, Richard Anastasoff, have been created to incite personal efficiency. Also, in the planning stage is the determination to send our more highly capable band members to the music camp program this summer. The band's presence at football games has often given the vital boost which helped lead our team to its many victories. The year was brought to a close with the band's T. V. appearance and their rendi- tion of favorite Christmas pieces. The annual Christmas Concert terminated with a solemn tribute to JFK. 'E Ev 1 3
