Athletic Society At 3:45 p.m. on October l7th, I966, a group of forty bewildered-looking students assembled in Room 204 for the first meeting of the Athletic Society for the year. Total strangers all, they spent some time trying to get to know each other and in the orientation period our staff sponsor Miss Stanley was of immense help. lt was on her suggestion that an afternoon of volleyball was arranged so that the representatives could get to know each other. lt was a great success thanks to the efforst of Bonnie Oswald who organized the games and the smooth running of the programme. On October 24th the executive was elected as follows: Ron Kurshaw, President, Bonnie Oswald, Vice- President, Jean Ingham Secretaryg Dave Young, Treasurer, Herb Palmer, Equipment Manager, Sandra Lutz, Refreshment Convenor, Danny Doyle, Special Programme Convenor. The House Officials were Francine Leduc, Nancy Brandt lGreen Housel, Glen Macklui, Pat Knott lRed Housel, Miss Weiss, Gerry Ryau fBlue Houselg Lesley Croucher, Marty Hall lGold Housel. The first event of the year was the organizing of the House Volleyball competition. Although student participation was at a minimum the Society persisted in its efforts. The season was climzxed with the Volley- ball wind-up night. lt was very well attended by an enthusiastic crowd. The Green House won the overall victory. Afterwards refreshments and dancing were enjoyed by all. The new year brought with it plans for our greatest event of the term - Athletic Night, Teams were chosen from each form. New and unusual costumes were created by the students. The basketball competition is presently underway and a wind-up nightfor this activity is planned for the latter part of the year. The Society has been successful due to the efforts of the executive and the interest shown by Miss Stanley and Mr. Bingham, our staff advisors. Page 49

Music Club Leslie Coxall lSecreluryT, Jill Pert lPresidentt, Ken Zeller lTreasurerJ. This year, Three choirs, the mixed choir, The girls' choir, and The mens' choir, formed The basis of our music club at The College. We would have liked to have formed smaller interest groups, such as instrumental and listening groups, as well, however, This was almost impossible, due to lack of rehearsal Time during our weeks at The College. Therefore, This being our Centennial year, it was decided thatwe should put on a show early in The year and call iT T.T.C. '67. Since The Theme of our show was concerned with the whole College, January 26th and 27th were not purely choral evenings. Mr. McKay and his art students gave us an amusing glimpse into The lives of Canadian Teachers from l867 to The present day. There were slides of college life, and ethnic dances under The direction of Miss Ruddell. Some of The numbers performed by The choirs were religious, and some were folksongs la number of These folk songs were performed by Bram Morrison and Friendsj, but all were either written or ar- ranged by Canadian composers for Canadian choirs. ln spite of bad weather, both nights were well attended and were a tremendous success. After this it was found thatwe had relatively little time left as far as weeks in at the College were concerned, and so it was decided that we should continue with only the mixed choir to sing for enjoyment and interest, as well as rehearsing for the closing assembly. ln closing, l should like to thank our staff advisor, Miss Bennett, and the members of my executive, Suzanne Smith, Leslie Coxall, and Ken Zeller for their assistance inthe organization ofthe club.
