THE OKTICLOS CLUB The Okticlos Club, under the presidency of Barbara Creeper, held a very suc ' cessful reception at which Mrs. Atkinson was guest of honour. Coffee was poured by Mrs. Carscallen and Miss Sissons, and the members were received by Mrs. Atkinson, Dr. Carscallen, and Mr. Atkinson. After the reception there was a concert for the British Organ Restoration Fund which was attended by the school. The guest artist, who added much to the programme of our own artists, was Mr. Alex Read of Niagara Falls, who was received with great applause. The even ' ng was thoroughly enjoyed by all. THE COLLEGE CHOIR The big choir, as it is known to all, has made rapid progress under the capable direction of Mr. Atkinson and Mrs. Sherwin. After our hours of blood, sweat and tears accompanied by some of Mr. A ' s wit, we were able to show our ability when we entertained the congregation of Sherbourne United Church at the evening service of May 12th, and sang the follow- ng Sunday morning at the Whitby United Church. With our last presentation of songs at Commencement, we concluded an enjoyable year. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, with Connie McFadyen as president, and Dr. Hunter as Honorary president, has completed a very profitable year of work. The members have learned to develop films and print pictures for the other students. Several amusing indoor studies were taken of which the Club is especially proud. LEST WE FORGET Our chief post-war project has been the collection of a contribution to the War Amps Recreational Fund. The girls earned much of the money by marketing their skill in mending, laundering, photo-developing, hair-cutting, ski-waxing, and even in helping one another with homework. We also sent parcels of food and useful articles to a number of our former English students, and donated wearing apparel to the clothing drive for Europe. Page Tiventy-nine

A. A. DANCE The Athletic Association this year has beeri a successful one. Under the interested and efficient supervision of Miss Bertram, there has been more enthusiasm for athletics than in previous years. Our social activities have been renewed Vv ' ith the continuance of the Athletic Dance, which proved a great success. Miss Bertram is leaving us this year, but we all -wWh her the very best of luck in her future work. This year the Athletic Association revived the custom of its annual dance. This simple statement gives no indication of the preparation that went into the dance. At eight o ' clock, Seniors, Juniors and Mediums met their partners, many of whom were from Ajax, in the Common Room. After passing through the receiving line, which consisted of Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss, Sissons, Mrs. Roadhouse, and Barbara Deal, the Athletic Association president, and her escort, we enjoyed a lovely programme which included several novelty dances. When the dance programme announced that the supper dance had just ended, the couples withdrew to the Common Room where the delighted exclamations of the guests attested the efficiency with which the refreshment committee had performed their functions. After this everyone felt like dancing the night through. But alas, all good things must come to an end and at 10 o ' clock the good-byes were said and we tripped off to bed weary but happy.
