The Collegiate elections were held in October and, after a week of hard campaigning, Dennis Eyolfson was declared president and Roberta Gunn co-ed rep. Soon after this the Initiation Dinner and Dance was held in the Fort Garry Hotel. This was a great success, as usual, with Mr. Ruther¬ ford acting as emcee at the dance. November brought U.C.’s biggest formal, Snowflurries, and it was more successful than ever. A coke’’tail party was held for Col¬ legiate students before the dance, and we all attended as a group afterwards. Shortly after this, with its carols, colorful lights and, of course, exams, came Christmas. A most impressive candlelight service was held and it was well attended by Collegiate students. Caroling was also held, with an accompanying accordian, in Tony’s each noon hour for a week before exams. At the beginning of the new year many new activities were started. The pins and rings, ordered in December, were distributed. Soon after this the college sweaters arrived. With the new year came an increase in sports activ¬ ities. The boys’ basketball team won their first game under the direction of their new coach. The inter-room hockey commenced, as well as girls’ volleyball and badminton. To bring January to a close, the Collegiate held a Toboggan Party and Dance. They also participated in the Co-ed—Men’s Club Tea on January 19. Collegiate did very well in debating this year, giving the college a real challenge. Inter- room debates were also organized. The drama club has contributed greatly with its presentations at Stunt Night and at Theatre Night. The Student Council this year has tried hard to cope with the problems arising, and has been very successful. The members of the 1960-61 Council have presented a gavel to be used by future councils. This past year has been most eventful, with its happy moments and its sorrowful ones. There have been successes and failures, all of which have contributed to the memories which we will retain of this year. 17
