The new Tony’s provided excellent facilities for our annual Christmas party. Games and dancing were enjoyed because of the efforts of Harold King (extreme right), and of the theological orchestra. The picture below depicts one of the theological students caught in the ec¬ static frenzy of a lively square dance. 21

Professional wisdom is extended be¬ yond theological dogma. Here Dean Till¬ man leads a rousing discussion in prac¬ tical theology. What are the duties of the minister as an administrator? — He isn’t an ecclesiastical water-boy. The theology students derive inspira¬ tion not so much from what is said by the professor, but from the sheer look of elation on his angelic countenance. 20

l esiJence ovt Our residences began with the usual rip-roaring activities of Freshie Week. No doubt, the newcomers “appreciated” the welcome, although many of them were somewhat slow to express this opinion to their hard-working seniors. After things settled down somewhat, the execu¬ tives were elected. Wenda Gilman was chosen as Sparling’s house captain, and Kay Hughes was chosen as senior social convenor. Graham Hall elected Marvin Stein as president, Ed Hickerson as vice-president, and Alvin Funk as head of their social and athletic committee. On October 30, Sparling lit its jack o’lanterns to launch the annual Hallowe’en Masquerade. Bill Christie, Marv Stein and Mavis Keays, and Penny Christofferson provided the evening’s entertainment, and awards were given for prize costumes. Finally, at two o’clock, the party drew to a close, and Sparl¬ ing’s weary inhabitants chalked up yet another successful party. On November 13, residence came through for second place honours in United College’s annual Stunt Nite. This was followed by a celebration in Child’s Restaurant. Many thanks go out to Marv Stein who so ably directed the skit. A’group of lawless resolutes The next day was Men’s Day, and preparations for the annual “Graham Hall Party” got into full swing. This year the party took on a “Beatnik” theme. The girls toured through Graham Hall, and looked with amazement and envy at the rooms with eleven walls and floors on a 45° angle. December 5th, Sparling and Graham Halls threw their final fling before Christmas, complete with mistletoe and Santa Claus. At the time of writing, the Sparkle Prom, Sparl¬ ing’s formal dance, and Graham’s Winter Party are still in the planning stage. Both residences give their thanks to Mrs. Simmie, Dean Stewart, and Yutta for undertaking the hazardous job of being responsible for over one hundred of U.C’s high-spirited students. Last, but not least, thanks (especially from the boys), to Sparling’s “discreet” night watchman, Mr. King. How do I look, fellas?
