The past year has left us with many memorable events and occasions. The term was started with our annual introduction better known as the “Get- Together Social”. Included in the afternoon enter¬ tainment was a speech by our principal, Dr. Graham, who welcomed, sincerely, new students in the Col¬ legiate Division. Later in the same week, a Freshie Reception was held at the Assinilboine Hotel. Good music, dancing and food resulted in an enjoyable evening. The autumn season came to a close with the Col¬ legiate Initiation Dinner and Dance, held at the Rose- land Dance Gardens. Dinner and speeches were enjoyed during the first half of the evening followed by dancing and entertainment supplied by the College Quartet. The year 1954 clossd with the annual College formal “Snowflurries”, held at the Royal Alexandra Hotel. (It actually snowed that night.) The New Year came in with a bang. On January 14th we held the big Collegiate dance of the year— “Snowshuffle”. Convocation Hall was gaily decorated with streamers and balloons. Buddy Renton and his orchestra supplied the music. Additional entertain¬ ment was provided by the “Four Chords” and our own Roy Joseph. The ball was rounded off nicely by a closing word from Ted Ottley. On February 15th a Tally-Ho was held. Coffee and doughnuts were served. The turnout could have been much better but nevertheless we broke even in our expenses. Easter exams approached rapidly but so did St. Patrick’s Day. For the benefit of the Irish, we had a St. Patrick’s Dance. Convocation Hall was decked out in shamrocks, streamers, balloons and Bsn Skin¬ ner’s big black hat. (Thanks a lot, Ben.) The graduation service was held at Westminster United Church on May 30th, at 7.30 p.m. This was followed by a dance at the Roseland Dance Gardens, square dancing, and refreshments. Plans are being readied for the Collegiate Sports Day. This event will consist of bowling, baseball, square dancing, and refreshments. In closing this report I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our Faculty advisors, Miss Mills and Mr. Rutherford, and also to the members of my committee, consisting of Ben Skinner, Clarice Toole, Barbara Brown, Pat Devlin, Grant Rowan, Verne Rubinstein, Lois Winestock, Doreen Smith, and Margaret Grant. Special thanks to Roy Joseph for giving so freely of his time and talent on numerous occasions. JIM McILROY, Social Chairman. Page Thirty-seven

CAST OF STUNT NITE SKIT The external evidence of theatrical activities in the Collegiate was the Stunt Nite skit. The com¬ mittee sat down many, many times to decide which ideas and dialogue should Ibe used for the skit. The finished product was a pot-pourri of one-sided opin¬ ions on Canadian and American personalities. The personnages included the Montreal Allouettes, Willie Mosiencko, the Hon. Jack Pickersgill, Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Marilyn Munroe, Seagram Chuba, Kate Aitken, Marilyn Bell, Gussie Ryder, plus about fifteen others. The work that the actors put into the production was rewarded as we won the Stunt Nite trophy for the second year in succession. In February, the Collegiate entered a one-act play, “High Window”, by Verne Powers, in Theatre Night. The cast included Andy Totin, Audrey Huntingford, Shirley Dempsey, Bob Howden, and Margaret John¬ son. Audrey Huntingford was awarded the Best Actress Award after giving us a superb performance as an elderly murderess. I should like to thank the students who aided these efforts by working on costumes, stage scenery, make¬ up, and those who came through the door to watch the productions. I wish also to extend my thanks to Shirley Grosser, whose work in directing and in designing costumes and scenery was very helpful. The faculty advisors were Miss M. Moore and Mr. W. Rutherford. Their help was graciously given and received appreciatively. Their assistance and guid¬ ance helped the committee of greenhorns over the rough spots. Due to the co-operation of the students and guidance of our advisors, the year for theatre was a great success. Thank you, students and faculty. G. BOTCHETT. Page Thirty-sh

Collegiate iteligious Studies Committee Throughout the past session the Religious Studies Committee has endeavored to keep the various sections of the Collegiate Department informed about the religious activities carried on within the College. The various class representatives have tried to keep the students familiar with the time-tables of the S.C.M. and I.V.C.F., so that students might attend those Bible Study groups or social gatherings which best suited their hour-budget. We also, with the help of faculty members and interested students, have tried to en¬ courage attendance at morning chapel Which is con¬ ducted each day of the week just after the first class. After the New Year, five regular class periods in Grade XII were assigned to a general study of the Old and New Testaments under the general heading, “Basic Principles ' of Christianity”. These classes were conducted by Professors George E. Taylor, Charles R. Newcomfoe, and H. Gordon Harland, of the Theological Department of the College. In Grade XI a similar number of classes were given by the Professor of Psychology, Mr. Clifford J. Robson, the subject being “The Sermon on the Mount.” The attendance at the classes was recorded by the Religious Studies representatives. Those students who attended the required number of classes will receive at graduation Christian Leadership Education Certifi¬ cates, in each case from the particular church to which he or she may belong. More than two hundred stu¬ dents will receive these certificates from United, Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and Canadian Council of Churches. Your committee wishes to thank Professors G. ' .Z. Taylor, C. E. Newcombe, H. G. Harland, C. J. Robson, and Dean Halstead who helped to make this activity such a success. KEN RENTZ, Chairman LESLIE ANDERSON, Secretary Page Thirty-eight
